I have been seeing Caitlin for years. She helped me grow my hair back after it was all cut off. She is very fast with the blowdryer. I have thick hair, and other sylists take forever to dry it. She makes it more beautiful in half the time. She can instantly identify color problems and correct them. She is good for anyone, but I think especially good for those of us of a certain age. She does wonderful, fashion forward, yet age appropriate cuts. I also love the rest of the staff there!
Pros: great cuts, color, conversation
Cons: can usually find street parking

I'm not a high maintenance person, but a good haircut is essential. I first went to East End upon the recommendation of a coworker. It was, by far, the best haircut I had in a long time. I've been going there for 4 years. I recommend Ciny, especially if you have short and/or curly hair. She's also the best for fancy "up-do's" as I have been told.
It's a little hard for a nerd like me to get used to the "hip" atmosphere, but there is a cozy gas fireplace and a stack of magazines to pass the time until they are ready for you.

When it came to getting an engagement ring, my husband took me to some of the chain-type stores because he wanted to see what I liked. (I didn't like anything). Finally he took me to Halloween, and we both fell in love! He went back and bought the ring, & when it came time for wedding bands, we went back to design matching bands that would fit with the engagement ring. I get multiple compliments, DAILY, on my rings!

Upon entering Mona asked me what I was looking for and immediately pulled out at least 5 suggestions for me. I loved them so much I ended up buying more that want I originally came for. I even told my fiance that if he ever wanted to buy me something special to go to Coeur!

went into there store after visiting two others, first one i liked the designs but when i told them i wasn't interested in a diamond band, i got a ohhhh, i see answer. that p....d me off.
went to the second jeweler, mw, a long established company had beautiful items and designs, when i told them i didn't want a diamond band, the hummmmpf, then after that a quick brush off and here is a card to you can take with you, didn't even hand me a card.
we both were kind off burnt out,having been at the home show which was terrible and 45 minutes at the previous stores, then took a flyer at steven singer. we are in our late fifties and it was a more modern, less stuffy approach, newer music that we didn't care for too much but appreciated the offer of a homemade cookie and water etc.
the young woman did a nice job of telling us about the rings, didn't give me attitude like the other two well know stores when i told her a diamond was not in the program.
we ended up after 45 minutes liking a style, remarkably, and then had some dinner. we both spoke at dinner how much we liked the experience at the S.Singer store.
the jewelry designer introduced himself to us and told us that he could make anything we want, if we didn't like , he would resize it or re-do.
i liked dealing with the store, i give the salesperson credit for trying for a soft close but it was not pushy.
we haven't made up our minds yet as we have about 8 months before the wedding.
if you are little older like myself, get passed the music and the age of the representatives
. i believe they manufacturer beautiful jewelry and they will stand behind their work with excellent after sale service .

I am in love with Smak Parlour. Hands down, best boutique (and I rarely have strong opinions like this). I always get so many compliments when I wear their threads! I look forward to getting dressed to show off their unique, creative designs. I tried to keep it a secret for so long, but everyone makes such a fuss when I wear their stuff, I thought its only fair to spread the word and let people in on my favorite place to be. Everyone deserves to know about this true gem of a shop and thats why I'm posting this. It might change your life, I'm hooked.
Pros: Service, Selection, Novelty
