| - This place doesn't need another good review, but whatever I'm going to write about it anyway!
The salon itself is awesome, I felt like I could have just hung out there all day. It smells nice, they play cool music, and they are offering you tea, water, etc. constantly.
As I was sitting down waiting to be seen I was offered tea, but the tea I asked for was being brewed. At least two different people apologized for the tea wait. When it was ready they brought it upstairs to me in my chair where my hair was getting colored.
I am (was) a color virgin and my colorist was really nice explaining all of my options and what he thought would be best for me. He mixed up the perfect color for me and it looks great.
As I was waiting the shampoo boy (sorry if thats not the correct term- I mean it lovingly) gave me a hand massage then a lovely head massage when he was shampooing/conditioning. He was so sweet- I wanted to be friends with him after about 30 seconds.
My hair was cut by Jason. He was great, I told him what i liked and what I didn't like about my current hair cut and suggested some slight modifications to my current cut to fix my current hair woes. The hair cut seemed to take no time at all but he did a really thorough job.
Both my colorist, the shampoo boy, and stylist gave me styling tips and tips about how to style my hair and what products to use. What i really appreciated was that while they recommeded the products in the store (Aveda) I didn't feel pressured into buying them whereas at most nicer salons I almost feel like you have to buy the products, sometimes they are even sitting at the register when you pay which then makes it super awkward to say no to buying the product. This may just American thing thought...
They have a nice selection of merchandise. As mentioned earlier its mostly Aveda, but they also sell Essie nail polish and it looked like they had some other goodies as well.
Every person I came across- there seemed to be a quite a few in there- was soooo nice and friendly but not fake nice- actually geniunely happy to be there which made me feel good about getting my hair cut there.
Best of all it won't break the bank. I got out of there for about $140 for my color and cut and my hair is long so that made the dye a bit more expensive.
Definitely check this place out!
