| - I purchased the introductory groupon they offered a few weeks ago, and was hesitant at first because I haven't had the greatest experiences using groupons. I was pleasantly surprised.
I did look at some of the bad yelp reviews before going in, which made me nervous! So for those of you that only look at bad reviews, I hope you see this one and have a little more hope.
I had a stylist named Annie, she had pink hair. Super friendly, and really appeared to want to get my style right. Since I had read bad reviews before coming in about stylists not listening to the customer when they asked for the curling iron to be used for better curl, I was concerned she would do the same. But, I let her know I was looking for good curl, and with thin/straight hair, it can be tricky to achieve. She attempted to curl with just the round brush and hair dryer first, and when she was "impressed by her curling abilities with a round brush," she was "equally impressed with my hair's inability to hold a curl." So she broke out the curling iron!
We made great small talk, and I let her know I would be back in a month when I go out to celebrate my birthday.
The salon is a fun, well-decorated environment. It was pretty loud with the hair dryers going, but not terrible. The less than perfect rating was that I saw people with mimosas/champagne, and while I had been offered something to drink, I figured I could just choose water or coffee, as that is usually is what at hair salons, I wasn't informed of my choices by the front desk staff. Now I know for next time to ask for some bubbly!
Another good tip is to plan for longer than 45 minutes if you are planning to do a style with curls. While I got started on my appointment about 5-10 minutes late, I was there for 1 hour (and I dont have super long, thick hair that takes a great deal of time).
I will be back in January for my 25th birthday night!
