| - Tonight was my first time at this salon. I saw Mindy.
I originally had an appointment (that I scheduled this morning) at 4pm. However, Mindy let me know that she was done earlier than expected, and I could be seen before 4pm. Awesome.
Getting here is kind of a night mare. Getting off the 215w at Eastern Avenue is a suicide mission. I would have less stress attempting to rob a bank. But after the stressful drive, you arrive at Euphoria. Which is closer to the wienerschnitzel, facing Serene.
I was greeted by the front office staff, even though they seemed very caught up in something, and Mindy was ready for me, and greeted me right away.
The last time I had my hair cut was a year and a half ago. So I knew that with my naturally curly hair, I was going to have to lose some length to get it healthy again.....Much to my sadness.
Mindy listened to my wants, but knew my needs. She would have had NO problem just listening to my instructions...which would have been to cut off as little as possible, and leave it all one length.
However, I gave Mindy complete control. Length came off, and layers were added. I am still a little shell shocked. My hair appeared much shorter, (but it was because of how healthy my curls were.) my curls, finally were spiraling. I don't believe they have done that since I was 3 or 4 years old.
Mindy also told me how to properly wash, style, dry, and which products (without trying to push a sale on me) would work best for my hair and I.
Besides the nightmare of driving there (I don't recommend the 215), Mindy, and the front desk staff greeted and sent me off warm, and appropriately. I felt catered to. The salon wasn't crazy busy, and Mindy and I could actually have a decent conversation without screaming over others' noise.
I'll be back.
