| - Heard about Urge Salon and its owner Denise through a chat with a woman named Patty I had sat down next to at Hopdaddy's bar last month. Called soon after our talk and tried to make an appointment, but Denise's calendar was almost booked solid through the new year. (She had a couple of spots open, but my exercise and work schedules wouldn't allow me to commit.) I had some free time today and called to see if she could see me.
Denise asked me a few questions to see what I was looking to resolve in this visit, and then offered to let me change into a smock when I quickly begged off to look for a shirt in my car to change into, since I was feeling too warm in my light sweater in her warm salon. (She remarked that it was supposed to reach a high of 81 today.) Ahh, much better. Still, I found it too warm for comfort during the 55 minutes I was there. I'll make sure to plan more carefully on my next visits.
I have to admit, I wasn't fawning over my haircut as Denise was doing her finishing touches, but after raking my fingers once or twice, I thought my hairstyle looked fabulous! Mom immediately loved it, as well, and as some of you may know from reading my reviews of other salons, she is a hard woman to impress!
I didn't know that Denise/Urge Salon did not accept credit cards as forms of payment- CASH OR CHECK ONLY. Strange, I thought, not to accept CCs... I've heard of many small- to mid-sized businesses turning down Amex, because of the fee Amex charges per transaction, but Visa always works, but not here. Thought I'd give you fair warning. I had just pared down the cash I'd been carrying, because I don't feel secure walking around with it, but I did have enough to cover what she charges for a woman's cut and style ($55), minus the 20% discount if you, according to Urge's website (and on the Yelp app), "call and book an appointment today." There's a nice check-in offer of 30% off on your second visit, as well...
Denise was friendly and easy to chat with. I wasn't a fan of sitting on the "booster chair," even though I offered to sit on it after she mentioned its availability. (Truth be told, I was expecting a thick chair pad, or two, and not one of those foot stools one keeps in the kitchen to access hard-to-reach shelves, but oh, well...) I really liked the specialty chairs she has at the washing stations, though! As you sit down and lean back, you bend your knees and place your feet at the end of the chair pad so that the chair reclines in such as way that your neck sits comfortably on the sink- pretty cool! No more of my neck feeling stiff while getting my hair washed- yay! (Although, I guess this only works if the customer isn't wearing a skirt, or other compromising piece of clothing!)
Hope to be able to bump up my rating to four stars on my next visit!
