It is about 3 years since finding Guys & Dolls - it was the sign on the street that caught my eye. It asked "Hate Those Gray Rooots?" I do hate my roots and I wanted them professionally handled. Michel was available and took me immediately to his chair and gave me a 'consultation'. I am not accustomed to such fine treatment and I really enjoyed his personality and attention. I immediately felt like I was in good hands and I have not had a moment of regret since. Like clockwork I am in his chair every 3 weeks for my touch-up.
The one thing that is clear & evident at Guys & Dolls is the way everyone gets along and helps each other - at most other salons the stylists have attitude and are divas (sort of like what you see on Tabatha's show) but not there. The staff at G&D is like family to me - God knows I spend more time with them than I do with my so-called relatives AND I ENJOY MY TIME THERE MORE TOO. Everyone is nice and friendly and it is a very comfortable laid-back place.
While I am not one who is that internet savvy, I felt compelled to write this review, especially after reading the previous post. While I was not there, I cannot EVER fathom Michel acting pompous or arrogant - he is one of the most caring, generous, humble, gregarious people that I know of - the person described in the other review is not Michel. Michel is one of the most knowledgeable colorists around and if he would ask someone to sit still, then just sit still. Simple.
As far as talking about others, this is a hair salon sister and that is what goes on at hair salons - politics is not the topic of discussion. The staff at the salon are courteous and polite and I doubt they would ever speak ill of anyone behind their backs - it sounds like that person had a personality clash with Michel - it can happen - and when it does that is usually a red flag to stop and take a look at one's self closely becasue there is usually something about the other persaon that you see in yourself. Why would someone sit through 3 hours of misery and leave without saying a word? Is that what most normal people do? I do not know becaue I am not a psychologist but if I was unahappy I would have spoke to the manager. Besides the fact that Michel just lived trhough a tragedy if immense proportions in losing a loved one, he was always there for me when I need him.
The reasons for these great reviews is that the staff is deserving of them and it just goes to show that you cannot please all the people all the time, so thank you for sharing - it validates the other hundreds of 5-STAR reviews. That is the beauty of this type of forum, so I advise people to take a minute and read them all for yourselves. It is obvious that the other person had a bug up her a** and looked to take it out on Michel.
GUYS & DOLLS IS A GREAT SALON FULL OF TALENTED, POLITE PROFESSIONALS WHO WILL SERVE ANYONE -
