| - I visited this salon thanks to a Livingsocial coupon. These group buy deals are sometimes anything but, so I try to be a little picky about what I buy. My hair is long and straight, so if I'm just getting a trim, I can take a risk with a salon - it's hard to mess up a trim TOO badly.
The salon is in the new market area of Liberty Village. Nice, convenient location. It's what you'd expect from a new salon--trendy, minimalist loft-style design.
I figured with my coupon ($35 for cut and Aveda treatment) I'd be getting some junior stylist. I waited for maybe five minutes after checking in (and was offered a tea) and then was greeted by Antonio. He washed my hair, did the treatment and then sat me down to talk about the cut. He was personable but got right down to business, which personally, I like.
**Begin section of excessive detail on why this was such a good experience for me**
I asked only for a trim and he gave me just that. He was conservative with the scissors, a harder thing to find in a stylist than you'd think . When it came time to trim my bangs, he noticed immediately that they were cut too far toward my temples and not thick enough. This seems like a simple thing, but I've been going to different salons for YEARS trying to get the bangs I want. Ones that don't get stringy an hour after I wash them. None of those stylist would ever cut far enough back, and instead still left me with stringy bangs or kept cutting more toward the side of my head. Eventually, I gave up and figured this was just how my bangs were (while secretly wondering why I saw so many girls with hair like mine--fine and flat--that had nice full bangs, which started farther back on their head).
Anthony picked up on this seemingly small detail right away and then gave me a very quick, thorough, but simple cut, which I'd been trying to get for years. I was very happy and impressed that he *got it* when no one else had before.
After I left, I went online to their website and discovered that he was the owner of the salon, and had years of experience doing hair... on some very famous heads, too. His regular rate is a steep $83... but for someone like me who gets their hair cut infrequently, I'd say he's worth it. My hair has grown out nicely and I haven't felt the need to get it touched up yet (and it's been months since I got it cut). And the value of my coupon was obviously PHENOMENAL.

All in all, Salon Tocci was a great discovery for me, and I'd recommend Antonio in a heartbeat.
