I lived in the Norfolk/Va Beach area for many years, & Karen always cut my hair. She's the best. I got many many compliments. No stylist before or since has done such a great job. \r

BUT. I had my hair highlighted at another area salon (No Rootz), & was very pleased w/the results, but since I was visiting in Norfolk & I was on a tight schedule, I thought I'd schedule an appointment at Mesisco to touch up the root area. AWFUL. First, instead of doing a touchup (per my appointment), the colorist decided to foil my entire head. The price was about 5x what I was told the my appointment would cost. Then, although I told the staff when I made the appointment that I was on a tight schedule, the colorist took several hours to foil my hair, & then left me to sit under a heat lamp for several more hours for the ""highlights"" to ""develop."" Finally, after the foil was removed & my hair washed, the ""highlights"" were nonexistent. I could have done as well myself with a $10 DITY kit from CVS. I will NEVER go back to Mesisco for color, & from the other reviews I've seen, I'm not the only disappointed customer.\r

If you want a terrific haircut, you can't do better than Karen (at Mesisco). If you want color/highlights, I recommend No Rootz (Colleen). That's where I got my original highlights done, & that's where I've had my touchups, & they've always done a beautiful job.
