If you are looking to take a chance on a new salon, and don't want to walk into either an exclusive club that wouldn't have you as a member, or one of those ""factories"" where you would be forgotten, then get thee hence to Salon Mingle. Michio ensures that customers are treated as guests. The service is attentive, but low-key, and everyone who works with him makes sure you're well looked after.\r

But the person who has kept me a loyal customer is Ralph Scibelli. A master colorist, Ralph took the time to really know me--what I like and what I don't, and came up with a color solution that leaves my friends and colleagues ever asking for his name and number. Red is truly one of the most difficult colors to pinpoint for an individual, but from the very beginning, Ralph had it absolutely spot on. To paraphrase someone, he leaves me looking like me, only far, far better. Ralph also knows how and when to adjust it for the seasons, such that I can sit down, and never discuss what he's going to do. I trust him implicitly, which is no small thing. Ralph is down to earth and knows his clients so well--I'm so pleased that he is back at Salon Mingle. Book him now!\r

Hiroshi is also a perfect 10. While he has not colored or cut me, he has given me the most unparalleled head massage as part of a shampoo I've ever had--it's a spa treatment unto itself. He has styled my hair, and does a brilliant job every time. His demeanor is very sweet, accomodating and you'll find him quite skilled!
Pros: Hip, but earthy ambiance and extremely warm, smart professionals!
Cons: none!
