After checking out four salons in Las Vegas, I am still in a search for "the one." I used to work with a chick who had the same hair texture and skin tone as myself who had pretty impressive cuts and color. She told me about Vision hair salon.
I kind of expected that this salon was going to be one of those salons where clients like to rock their high end purses and jeans. However, as I walk in, I'm surprised to see the diverse customers that get services done here. From the older to the younger, to the richer to the not so rich, from the big to little, etc. they seem to flock here. This place definitely has a warm atmosphere.
My stylist name was Annette. The reason for the A-ok rating is due to her color. I can't say I'm completely satisfied with her color technique; it was too simple and "easy" for my taste. I got chunks of reddish highlights and chunks of caramel blond at another time. I like how she colored my hair down to my scalp and I loved my cuts from her since she minimizes the use of texturizing scissors on my thick hair.
Maybe I should have specified how I wanted my hair color to turn out, but I had expected something a bit more sophisticated. I'm guessing for what I was willing to pay, I get chunks of highlights rather than a base color and highlights that compliment my face and base color.
I felt this place is very affordable, chic and a great atmosphere. However, I'm not too thrilled that I can get a better hair color in CA for the same price I got at Vision.
