I'm new to the area and did a lot of investigating before finding a salon to 'test out.' I admittedly used my 8-year old daughter as a guinea pig at another local salon that bombed the 'simple kids bob' test. Thank GOODNESS I didn't let her touch my own hair!
Fortunately, I stumbled into the hands of Darcy at Salon 17 in Tannasbourne. I was a little apprehensive going there at first because I have this theory that you WAY overpay anytime you go to a 'mall salon.' Her prices seemed reasonable though (though other stylists charge more.) The staff was super friendly and flexible and even work evenings to accommodate my difficult schedule. Chris, the receptionist was great... very friendly and professional. The salon itself is a hip industrial chic. Concrete floors, european decor, etc, and the shampoo chairs are MASSAGE CHAIRS! They use and sell the Phyto products, which are GREAT.
I went in and Darcy went right to work after bringing me a glass of wine. She was SO friendly and knowledgable. She did my cut and color, with a little more 'kick' than I was expecting, but when I got home I actually got the coveted, "WOW, I love your hair!" comment from my boyfriend.
I'm in that critical stage now... 6-8 weeks past the cut date. The shape still works well after a couple of months and I haven't had to resort to the dreaded pony-tail up-do. Darcy seemed to have a great understanding of what would work best for my extra-fine hair, and gave me a cut to be proud of. I can't wait to go back to see her!
Thanks Darcy!!!
Pros: Very Professional and Knowledgable. Easy location and parking.
