I relocated here several months ago and used Citysearch to find a top salon. Bajon came with such glowing reviews that I gave it a try several weeks ago.
Many of the staff are quite young - my manicurist/pedicurist, while decent, was not what I was paying for. She was new to the industry and I wanted someone with more experience (who would have done a more thorough job) for the price of the visit.
The bad experince came with the brow wax - after a 2 second consultation, I was left with horrible, tadpole brows that do not exist in nature. My waxer in my previous city took the time to recommed a shape based on my face - not here. Everyone gets the same brows I suspect.
I politely indicated this was not what I expected and it was not ok. Anyway, she offered to comp the wax, which she should have done, even though I would be bald for the 4 weeks it would take to grow out. After, however, she tried to renege on that comp and offer me a free wax NEXT time. Well, I was never letting her near my brows again! That felt "cheap" to me, particularly because I was receiving a few hundred dollars in services that day.
Regarding the salon - it's ok. But, it's not the "upscale" posh salon Bajon would like you to believe. Let's not kid outselves, it is a suburban salon with fake wood floors and soccer mom clients (no offense soccer moms). That is not upscale to me.
I will keep looking.
Pros: Friendly staff, flexible hours
Cons: Inexperienced staff, bad wax!
