Review content:
i've been in search of a new stylist for a while now. i had a couple of not-so-good experiences with two other stylists at up-scale salons in the apex/cary area. the experience and knowledge wasn't there with these other stylists, and to be honest, i think i sort of felt that from the moment i sat down in the seat and met with them for the first time. however, i tend to give most the benefit of the doubt. so, i proceeded but later found those little voices that were speaking to me were right. i wound up disappointed both times. i wasn't happy with the cut. i wasn't happy with the color. and the icing on the cake...i paid top dollar for inexperience only to be left with a mess on my head that i had to deal with and look at every single day. and it wasn't like i was getting my hair done at great clips or cost cutters. i don't mean that in any offensive way, but these were high-end salons that i was dropping at least $150 in per visit! you would think they would require higher standards and have very experienced stylists at those rates! well, needless to say, i put off looking for someone new for a while, as my experiences left me completely discouraged and afraid to get out there and try it again. what would i end up with next? but, with the frustration was still piling up. i was dealing with a bad cut and looking at over-grown roots everyday. something had to give. besides, the holidays were around the corner. i felt that i deserved to feel good about my hair again. so, on a whim, i just decided to pop into lizmichaels to see if i could sit with someone for a quick consulation. that day, i met christian and right from the beginning, i could tell by the way he spoke he had the experience, knowledge and expertise that i so desperately needed! i booked an appointment and went earlier this week. when i arrived, i was still a little apprehensive because of my past experiences, but christian was amazing and he did an excellent job! i was especially nervous about the color process because for the first time in a long time, i was going darker. christian recommended doing this gradually by adding lowlights vs. going dark all over. and he was definitely right about that one! the color couldn?t have turned out any better! as far as the cut, it?s finally balanced and way more manageable now than it has been in months! i will definitely go back and will recommend him to anyone. i?m glad that i finally found someone that not only talks the talk, but also walks the walk! he spoke of his experience and training, which any good talker can do, but he proved his expertise to me and i?m a happy client! it feels good to finally have a stylist that i have complete confidence in and trust with my hair. it was still a pricey visit to the salon, but at least this time around i at least feel like i got my money?s worth! thanks christian!
Pros: experienced stylists, warm and friendly atmosphere
