I'd gone to Bumble & Bumble for a decade, but the price of my stylist kept going up and up ($140!) so I decided to try another salon. I feel blessed to have found Uliana! She is wonderfully warm and caring and made me feel instantly comfortable - the whole staff did. I wish I knew the name of the lovely woman who shampooed my hair because she was fabulous, too. The atmosphere is cool and without pretension...like being in your friend's funky apartment. I had waist-length, thick wavy hair when I walked in...the kind that looks best the less you do to it. After discussing with Uliana my lifestyle and the look I was going for, I agreed to cutting off about 8". She cut my hair dry, then it was washed, and then she refined the cut. We left it wet because my hair looks best air-dried. Uliana told me that over the next two weeks if I wanted her to change anything about the cut, just give her a call. She wanted me to be satisfied and happy and it showed. After a minor panic attack when I arrived home (8" is a LOT of hair to lose at once) I washed my hair again (my hat had flattened it out) and when it dried I had s*xy (Citysearch doesn't allow the use of that word), tousle-y hair one could run their fingers through...best hair-cut of my life. The length (about down to where my wings would be in the back if I had them) and style are super flattering to my face shape and bone structure. I am ecstatic with the results and thrilled I went shorter than I initially wanted to. And the price - wow! A bargain! Less than half what I was paying at Bumble & Bumble. Uliana has two precious little dogs and it's cute to see them napping about. I am so happy with my hair cut. All I do is wash it, finger style, let it dry and walk out of the house looking fab, if I do say so myself. Thank you Uliana and the dear soul who washed my hair! I'll be back! Oh, bring cash or a check as they are the preferred methods of payment.
Pros: Everything - ambience, staff, talent, price, results.
Cons: Nothing!
