I have lived in New York City, Dallas and Austin (and have highlighted my hair from a light brown to a bright blonde throughout all my moves), so I have seen a LOT of salons. I recently tried Carolyn based off another Citysearch reviewer who mentioned Carolyn's panache for blondes, and the reviewer was definately right on the money! Carolyn had patience (and natural talent - a must!), which is so important in getting a natural-looking blonde, plus she was genuinely nice and not fake, unlike many jaded hairstylists I've run into. Salon Cherie is about the fifth salon I've tried in Austin, and I definately will be staying with Carolyn!
Pros: Great atmosphere; even the other stylists were friendly to me!
Cons: Can't think of any - as with all highlighting, it never is a cost-effective endeavor!
