As I was getting ready to write my review, I couldn't help but notice what other people had said about this salon. It's true that you can't please everyone, but it seems that a great majority are quite pleased with their experience. You might ask why it matters what others have said. Well, my experience has been amazing, and I gladly pass along the info of the salon when people ask me where I get my hair done, but I feel reassured that I'm not an exception so if I refer friends and family, I know that they too will have be pleased with the service.
I get my hair cut and colored on a regular basis. I have a very demanding career and unfortunately am not blessed with hours and hours that I can spend in a salon so I appreciate the fact that my appointment time is respected. I've never had to wait more than 5-10 minutes, and that's been usually because I've arrived a few minutes early.
The new location is clean, sleek, and modern. Unlike some places, the product shelves are spotless!!! The refreshment area has cookies, coffee, and juices so in case you're always on the go alike me, you can have a small snack to avoid passing out.
The staff is professional, polite, and friendly. Unlike some of the well-known salons in the city, the staff actually greets you when you walk through the door. They are attentive and happy to assist you should you need anything.
Now about what really matters: my hair! A bad hair day for me translates to an off day so when it comes to my appearance, my hair is top priority. I change my hair style every couple of years, and because I have fine hair, I'm limited to certain cuts. To date, I've been thrilled with my haircuts. And my current color is so rich and fantastic! I'm a tough critic, but I've been pleased so far. Interestingly, even random strangers have complimented me on my hair cut as well as color!
I'd like to leave you with this: you MUST communicate to your stylist what you like and what you want when it comes to your hair. He/she cannot read your mind. Search the internet and take pictures of the cut that you'd like to have. And remember to have realistic expectations. For those of you who watched "Friends", you know that having the "Rachel" didn't mean you also looked like Jennifer Aniston!
I wish you a great experience and hope that you're just as jazzed about your hair as I am.
Pros: service, punctuality, professionalism
Cons: distance
