For the last four years I have been in search of a consistent, creative and talented hairdresser. I first heard about RedBloom Salon at a bachelorette party where I met two women who had amazing haircuts and they both had hair stylists from RedBloom. I later discovered that a friend has been seeing the owner for over twelve years but she informed me that he is no longer taking on new clients. When I called to make an appointment they were all quite booked up but I was determined to wait as it has been a struggle for me to find the perfect hairdresser.
The salon is located in a shopping complex filled with upscale shops and the salon was no exception. Please note that their address does not work in a GPS so I recommend going ahead of time because it is easy to get lost if you are not familiar with the area like me.
When I arrived I was offered tea or coffee while I waited and they had me change into a comfortable smock. My stylist was prompt, polite and very nice to talk to. When she asked what I wanted to have done I told her that she was the artist and asked for her suggestion. Without hesitation she layed out her game plan, then went to the back and priced out two options and brought the info back to me on a small white board for me to view. As I have long hair, my first option was approx $250 for a cut and highlights and second was cheeper but for fewer highlights. I went with the first as I was in dire need of a full makeover...and that is what I left with! Each stylists pricing differs depending on experience. My girl was a mid level rating so I expect that the price varies within the salon.
Since then I have returned again to the same girl with the same amazing results. I have another appointment next week.....here are a couple of other things that I look forward to when I go:
The ambiance is nice...music is not blaring and the decor is very modern with a slight industrial look.
All of the stylist take their time washing your hair, with an amazing scalp massage...they also massage your hands and fingers with lotion! Afterwards she wrapped my hands in hot towels and put one over my eyes.
After your haircut they take you to the front where they have a makeup booth set up...they refresh your makeup and then you are on your way.
I noted two things on my visits that I also want to make note of. If you are short like me the hair washing station may be uncomfortable for you and or drip water down your back. The other thing is that they really need to choose a better quality coffee to serve as I could hardly choke it down! Other than those two things which are not that important I would recommend this place in a heartbeat.
