| - I got my hair done here for my wedding, and I was very happy with the end product. So why the 4 stars instead of 5? Sara cut and styled my hair- the styling was PERFECT but the cut was very meh. I still have split ends afterwards :(
That being said, I was very happy with everything else. They offer a free pick-up service for out-of-towners. My ride called me when she was close, and cheerfully waited for me when I told her I was on my way back from lunch. While in the car, I decided at last minute to get my makeup done as well. Their two makeup artists were booked for the day, but they hooked me up with Inglot at Caesars which turned out to be amazing!
Everyone was so friendly when we arrived. Roxy greeted us and offered us drinks. They have a full bar! Woo! I had some cucumber water and red wine. We got a brief tour around the salon, and I changed into a robe. When Sara was ready, I got taken into the wash house. LOVE. You get about a 10 minute scalp, neck, and shoulder massage with your shampoo.
Like I said before about the cut- it wasn't very good and I still have split ends, but Sara really knows what she's doing when it comes to styling. Although I wanted something pretty simple for my wedding, I had only been impressed once with someone styling my hair. This was the second time that someone actually hit the bullseye. It was perfect and exactly what I wanted: half pulled back with lots of volume.
I was a bit surprised by the bill, because I had read another review on Yelp saying that a shampoo, cut, and style was $45. I paid $190 for mine plus a $40 tip. Maybe it's because I said it was for my wedding so they charged me for a wedding hair style? I'm not really sure, because it really was a very simple style. I'm not complaining though; without the $45 mentioned on a previous review, I would've expected to pay around $200 anywhere else for a wedding hairdo.
They mentioned that someone who used to work for them recently opened up a focus salon like theirs in Austin...gotta call back and figure out what that salon is. Can't wait to try it out here!
