| - I used to be a regular at Civello for years. ( And by regular I mean I was there every 6 - 8 weeks for a cut/trim) And then little more than a year ago I stopped going. Cold turkey. The reason for this was that the stylist I frequented and one hundred percent trusted with my hair, suddenly left, and informed me that she would no longer be working in the industry. I was crushed. This girl had been my hair guru for years, and now she had deserted me. I tried another stylist after her, but the results were so unsatisfactory that I gave up Civello.
After trying other salons a couple of times, I still hadn't found what I was looking for, but for some reason last week I decided I'd give Civello another try. And boy, was I glad I did! I hadn't realized how much I missed sipping tea while I waited to be seen by the stylist, or the head and shoulder massage you get before your cut. I was once again, excited about getting my hair did.
This girl was very good at listening for what I wanted, and did not take any artistic liberties with my hair, which I appreciated. She also gave me some tips on how to style my abundant hair, and avoid breakage, but only after I asked her, which means she had to anwer my questions or ignore me which would have been akward. So why four stars instead of five?
Mostly because of the stylist. She was talented and I'm happy with the job she did, however, I don't think she's the girl for me. She was pleasant enough, but not very friendly ans seemed almost as if she didn't want to be there. AT $75 a haircut, I'm expecting someone friendly and happy to be doing her job. But maybe, its my fault, and Im just spoiled from my past experiences at Civello.
Also, they are currently undergoing renovations, so expect your relaxing experience to be interrupted by jack hammering noises (seriously) and LOUD banging. The girl did say that these renovations were suppossed to be taking place after hours, but they were having problems with the contractors following the agreenment.
I will return to Civello ( I already booked another appointment) and give this stylist another try. Maybe she was having a bad day, with the renovation noise and all? After all, she did do a fantastic job.
