Having my hair cut by somebody new is a difficult step. Once I like a stylist, I am not easily swayed to go elsewhere. Unfortunately, my regular stylist left town and after letting my hair go far too long without maintenance, I finally followed a friend's recommendation and went to Joseph at Arte. He really listened to my issues, suggested solutions and made sure that I was comfortable before starting to cut, promising not to cut too much. I like my hair long, but it just did not look good. The new layers give it a much lighter feel and it is so much healthier. Where before it took me forever to get ready in the morning, now I can just do a quick blow-dry to smooth out the front a bit and I'm on my way. Even if I just let it dry naturally it looks all right. That has never happened before.\r
The salon is beautiful and one feels really welcome there. Joseph, the owner, has a fun and charming personality. Actually, everyone there is friendly and helpful. While the decor is refined and modern, everybody walks around without attitude. A cool blend of laid-back vibe and professional know-how. Also, they carry Kerastase products, which I love. That stuff just works and is well worth the investment.
Pros: friendly and professional
Cons: haven't found any
