I was attracted to the salon by its website and the fact that it is owned and operated by a husband and wife. They and their staff were very friendly and accommodating. Unfortunately, the blond highlights I received were awful. They were brash and trashy-- super blond, the kind of blond that turns after a few shampoos; I think bleach must have been used, because I have since had much breakage and many split ends; the highlights were thick and not spaced out well; worst of all, they began far from the roots, so already at one month out from the appointment, it looks more like 2-2.5 months, and that I need re-highlighting. I had to go to another salon to get a full head of lowlights to achieve a more believable and flattering blond color. I've never written an online review before, but wanted to save someone else from having this happen to them! Plus, it was expensive!!-- I was charged Manhattan salon prices for highlighting-- AND a surcharge for using a credit card. That is absolutely unheard of-- I've never had that happen in any other nice salon in the U.S.-- and was sort of the last straw for me, driving me to post this review.
Pros: friendly, small establishment
Cons: bad highlighting--brash, thick highlights far from roots
