Located a mere steps from the Arlington stop on the Green line, Sassoon Salon offers its clients an upscale salon experience without the pretension. (Oh, and they're pretty crafty at hair styling, too). Greeted by a smiling hostess and seen swiftly, I listened to Renee's professional recommendations on hair coloring. Afterwards, I was treated to a tropical-smelling shampoo and conditioning treatment, while the staff waited on me to bring whatever I desired - drinks, magazines, you name it. Julie took care of my blow-out, and let me say this: if you have never gone to Sassoon, you absolutely MUST request Julie. She has been working there for 3 years, and has a bubbly, adventurous personality and will keep you entertained with her fun stories about sky diving. She leaves you looking properly trimmed and urban-chic. I left it up to her to style my hair, and she gave me a look chic enough for a black-tie event. A must-go salon!
Pros: Talented staff, high-end products, clean space, location
Cons: Pricey, but worth it.
