Fabulous experience!
Tuesday, September 01, 2009
Having been a military wife for years, I've traveled the world and had several "new salon" experiences. Most of them, regrettably, have been less than stellar. I always approach new salons with a tinge of fear and a large helping of pessimisim, even if they have been highly recommended. For me, hair-stylists rank up there with dentists and root canals.
A girl at church recommended Emily at Salon Bordeaux, when I mentioned my fear of hairdressers. I scheduled an appt, and went in there sweating fear.
Emily instantly put me at ease. She was charming, reassuring, and did her very best to assuage my fears (successfully, even). I presented my challenge to her. I have course, wavy hair that is very thick. Because of my job, I need something super-professional, but didn't want to squash my inner free-spirit.
Emily did an amazing job! She thinned my over-abundance of curls, turned back my age by a couple years, and gave me a new look that was fun yet professional. I immediately called all my friends and recommended they call her. Whenever anyone asks, I send them to Emily. She's AMAZING!
Pros: awesome salon
Cons: nothing!
