Michael is a genius with hair, both cut and color. He's been doing my hair for at least 10 years, and I get compliments all the time. I never used to get compliments before Michael started doing my hair -- in fairness to prior stylists, my hair is really hard to work with: cowlicks all over my head and aggressively straight hair. He updates the style as needed, and I tell people I've outsourced all decisions to him. It's been one of my most sensible decisions.
I also like the relaxed, friendly atmosphere of the salon. Everyone who works there is a pleasure to be around. There is none of the rush, noise and pettiness I've experienced at other salons, where you can leave more stressed than when you arrived. I haven't used Jose myself, but he has started cutting the wild hair of my son, a sophomore in college, and both he and my husband are happy -- amazing!
I highly recommend this salon.
UPDATE DECEMBER 2010
I still love this salon and Michael, Gilberto and Jose. It's a treat to go, the atmosphere is delightful on many levels, the value for the money is superb, and I leave with wonderful-looking hair!
STILL HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
