I've followed Charlie Taylor from Modem Salon in Silverlake to Fred Segal on 5th & Broadway to now Thomas Chase. Suffice it to say, I think she's talented. She's never let me down and I am not only picky, I'm very protective about my hair. But I'm loyal because my dear friend from across the pond knows not only how to give you the perfect style but she REALLY knows color and does an outstanding blowdry. I always feel camera ready when I leave and I actually also learn how to achieve that on my own. She doesn't hoard information about how I can maintain. But this is the thing. Yes I love her. Yes I recommend her. But I'm going to now beg her not to go anywhere else. And I live in Hollywood so you must wonder why. YOU GET TO LIE DOWN WHEN THEY WASH YOUR HAIR AND NO MANIACAL RIDING HORN TYPE APPARATUS STICKS INTO YOUR NECK AND VERTEBRAE AS THEY DO IT! IT'S A TRIUMPH PEOPLE!!! A TRIUMPH!!! Maybe you're used to that. Maybe you're like Paris Hilton and you lie down when you order dinner and when you work out and when you try on clothes. All I know is I have never gotten that kind of royal treatment before (and trust me, at Fred Segal, the only ones treated royally are the stylists themselves). And I've always wondered, how could this be? This hurts! Someone's washing my hair but my neck and upper back hurts because a ball the size of a grapefruit is jutting into my cranium. Who was the genius who thought that brand of misery up? Probably the same wizard who designed the Trader Joe's parking lot. I've been WAITING for someone to be humane to my body while I'm getting my hair styled. Now I have the perfect stylist at the perfect salon. Next? Real blankets in Coach, good lighting in the the Bathing Suit Department at Bloomie's, and better reading material at the Vets.
Pros: Across from Father's Office
Cons: Some bad hip hop was playing - but in all fairness, they changed it for me.
