I Googled balayage-hair painting because I was looking for an alternative to highlights. This salon came up and I went to the website--which I really liked. The website listed the services offered and their prices, as well as the stylists and short bios. I narrowed my stylist choices down to two that I thought might match my personality and made a call to the salon. Nichole was available on dates that were good for me and I didn't have to wait 4-6 weeks for an appointment. The salon called two days in advance to confirm my appointment-not something all salons do. When I got there the receptionists were very inviting and friendly, they offered me something to drink (coffee, tea, water). My appointment began on time, and Nichole was very nice. The salon offers a free parrafin hand treatment with each cut if you choose to do so, so I took advantage of it. Nichole asked me several questions about how I like to wear my hair, how much time I want to spend fixing my hair, and other questions about what I hoped to get from this style. Then, she gave me some advice about what she thought I should do based on my answers to her questions, and my face shape. We also discussed the possibility of balayage, and how the cut would accentuate any coloring I did later. I told her to go for it and do what she thought was best. She cut and styled my hair and it looked great. She asked me politely how I was with my hair products, but never pressured me to buy what she used if I expected to have good hair in the future. I occasionally will buy product, but not if I feel pressured. I scheduled a balayage appointment for next week, and I look forward to seeing the results. This morning, I was able to almost redo my hair the way Nichole had styled it, and without too much work. It is a 1-1/2 hour drive for me, but well worth the time. Give them a call and schedule a cut the next time you want a new styling experience.
