| - What a nice thing to be able to review a salon that has been around for years but has had no reviews yet.
I had a hair appointment at Solis, and was really impressed with what I walked away with.
Initially I came in and was ignored at the front desk by a brunette clearly involved in a heated flirt-fest with a guy called Clark. I was standing there for a few minutes and decided to sit down because she ignored me.
Then another girl came over and asked me if I was being served, and offered me a drink while I waited. After that my hair dresser, Dino came over and introduced himself to me and I was seated immediately near the window.
Dino says straight away, "I hope you like being Blonde" and indeed I was there to have blond streaks put in my hair. The whole experience was a bit like being jsuzzed by a celebrity stylist and he actually made me feel a bit important. He didn't bother me with small talk and I didn't make it harder by saying I needed to keep all my length. I explained I need a ballsy hair dresser to just give me the blonde I wanted, and he gave me that.
My hair cut was nice too, a bit old for my taste but otherwise very low-maintenance as he explained he was trying to achieve. He pretty much gave me what my hair can do.
I had a bit of a freak out when the 30% peroxide he put on my head caused an allergic reaction but he took it out like I asked and I still walked away with a nice colour. I doubt we would have known it was coming, I don't remember having a reaction before or not.
Anyway, highly recommend him, and the salon for sure. He asked if I was liking what was happening and checked if everything was ok. He was very nice about everything and didn't leave me alone for too long not knowing what was happening.
Even better, went to work the next day and got all kinds of compliments, and out that weekend with my new extreme colour that went down very well with the extreme sport I play.
I had a block base with foils, and a hair cut for $159 inc tax, and he didn't adjust the price at all when he had to wash the colour out.
Yay...
