| - Several months ago, I found myself without a salon. I panicked, as I had been seeing the same (great) stylist since I moved to Vegas six years ago. And as much as I wasn't ready to jump into a new (hair) relationship, I was sporting some serious roots and running out of tricks to try and camouflage my grey. Even just writing that last sentence makes me cringe, so you can imagine how it felt to look into the mirror and see my Great Aunt Flora looking back at me. Something had to be done and fast.
So, I did what I did when I first moved to Vegas. I turned to Yelp. I immediately found a salon, Bombshell, in my neighborhood with great reviews. I looked through their photos and decided I wanted to book an appointment with either Kasadee or Tiffany. One call later, my heart sank when I learned that both women no longer worked there. Turns out, they moved to a new salon even closer to my apartment, Crush. I dialed the new number and spoke to Tiffany (the owner of Crush Salon and former owner of Bombshell). She was so sweet and explained that she would be out of town, but encouraged me to make an appointment with Kasadee. She even told me that Kasadee is the only person she trusts with her hair. Sold. They even fit me in that same week.
Now, almost eight months after my first visit, I can tell you that I love this salon. First of all, the prices are fantastic. I have never been to a salon with more reasonable prices, ever. And if you are getting color, the cut comes with. I'm not kidding. I thought Kasadee was when she first told me, but she wasn't either. So far, I've never spent over $100. That has included my color, cut, style and tip. I'm legitimately shaking my head as I type this because I still can't believe how outrageously affordable it is, but - hey - I'm not complaining! Second, Kasadee is fast. I really can't stress how much this means to me. As a working single mom, I almost always have to squeeze my hair in between work appointments, but it's never an issue because I'm always out the door in 90 minutes. And somehow she always finds a way to fit me into her schedule, even with short notice. Maybe most importantly (at least to me), both Tiffany and Kasadee really are so nice. A lot of the time, they are in comfortable gym clothes with fresh faces and their hair in ponytails. You almost feel as though you're hanging out with your girlfriends at their house. Crush Salon is just that comfortable of an environment and I love that. I even asked Kasadee a time of two if she would mind if I put my headphones in and got caught up on Pretty Little Liars (I have a sassy two year old who only wants to watch Disney Jr) and, of course, she told me to go ahead and enjoy myself. Finally, I always walk out of the salon loving the soft waves Kasadee puts in my hair. (And they last for days.)
And just when I thought I couldn't be happier with Crush, I decided to switch things up and leave my ombre locks behind and return to my favorite hair color, red. I was a little nervous because I have learned that not every stylist can give me the shade of red I want. The verdict? Perfection... If you are looking for skilled, sweet stylists who will get you in and out and looking great without breaking the bank, this is the salon. I promise.
