I have been to many many different salons for my blonde highlighting and hair cuts. Walking in, Azarra salon at first glance does not seem like anything special . It does not look edgy or upscale like the other salons I have been to. I went to the Gary Manuel Phase 3 salon and Gene Juarez many times. The price of the Gary Manuel Salon is reasonable since I'm a student but the stylists would constantly be changing so getting the same stylist for the price was not always possible. The price at Gene Juarez is a little too lofty for me. I checked out the prices online and read some reviews and booked my appointment on their website. I figured its worth checking out. It is located right on my UW Tacoma campus where I go to school so it was very convenient for me to go after class. I also loved that I could book my appointment online because I could see what was available and I'm always online anyway. I had my highlight with Aura. She has a great personality and is brilliant woman. It was very easy to talk to her. There was no sales pressure to buy products. I enjoyed every moment there, while I was waiting for the color to develop I read some of the books she had and read the book Aura wrote herself. I told her I was not expecting something fantastic because I never got great results at other salons. As long as it didn't look too yellow I would be happy. To my surprise...after my hair was blown dry it actually looked...well...blonde! :) I will definitely be coming back! Basically...the price was reasonable based on Aura's experience, finding the salon since its in the Harmon Building was a little confusing, the atmosphere was low key but relaxing, but everything was worth it for the results in the end! Book your appointment on the website now!
Pros: Price, Skill, Low-Key environment, Results
Cons: Finding the salon...maybe parking, depending on the time you come
