I just moved to Riverdale from Manhattan and needed to start getting services done in the area, and coming from the city I was alittle picky about where to go and what to expect. So Conveniently located I stopped in at aria before heading to starbucks and picked up a salon menu. loved the front of the store that is desinged to look like a mini sephora with great aveda and davines hair products which I noticed were both natural and organic. So I picked up a great hair brush, a love shampoo that smells like pink grapefruits, and archipelago candle hmmm what else.. Oh and a hot pair of sunglasses.. I know sounds insane and I hadn't even been behind the curtain yet! So I pretended like I was too cool to get my hair done because I was from the city, so I just paid for my stuff left, grabbed a menu looked through it, got my vanilla latte ran back in and asked if I can get my hair done. I didn""t want to leave. I wanted to hang out there it was so pretty and casual. I asked if a stylist was available I had a consultation was informed that the color they use was plant derived and one was milk hydrolyzed. The colorist went to mix and I was put in a massage chair ahhhh scalp neck and back massage, nice little surpirse. I got a GREAT HAIRCUT AND COLOR! a makeup application and a nice cold glass of wine. I LOOK FABULOUS AND FEEL AMAZING. WHAT A NICE AFTERNOON IN MY NEW NEIGHBORHOOD. THANK U ARIA FOR PUTTING ME AT EASE \r
