I went to Vine St. based on a recommendation from a friend who is quite happy with her stylist. I was cut and colored by Angela, twice. The first time the cut was ok, not the best but not terrible either. The color was darker than I would have liked but I could cope. I have been having my hair colored for years and sometimes it takes a couple of visits to get it right. The second time was not a good experience for me. I stated several times that I wanted highlights that were subtle. I came away with bright red streaks on my dark brown hair, some streaking quite thick. As well, the color of the highlights ran out in a week, turning a dull dirty blonde color. The cut was atrocious. I wanted soft long bangs cut at an angle. I received very short, ragged bangs that can not be fixed but have to be grown out.\r

I've read the Business responses to some of the complaints to the salon. For $250, I expect it done right, the way I asked, and there is no second chance at that price. I wouldn't dream of asking for my money back, but I will take my business elsewhere.
Pros: Most of the staff seemed pretty friendly. Receptionist was very nice and helped me fill the meter where I was parked.
Cons: Parking is tough if you'll be there more than an hour or so.
