We all know it's hard to find a decent hairstylist in a decent salon. After having shopping around for a steady stylist (which included stylists at Eveline Charles, Hennessey and Edges), I trusted one for 3 years at Edges (Crowfoot location). As much as I have trusted and enjoyed my stylist at Edges, I didn't think the salon's service (esp the reception) was worth the drive (30min or more). I looked up a bunch of online reviews and decided to try out Red Bloom. I am happy to report: Red Bloom lives up to its online reviews.
Red Bloom's Downtown location is modern, chic, friendly and offers a lot for your $ in comparison to the above-mentioned salons. The reception is warm, pretty and inviting (you are offered a beverage upon arrival). The styling area is open and well lit. I had an intermediate stylist (prices start at 45$ and up): She attentively listened to me and asked for feedback before cutting/ styling my hair. I was beyond pleased with my wash/ cut. My service ended with a complimentary make-up touch-up (powder, bronzer, lip gloss- all Aveda products). I was offered different Aveda hair products to try/ buy, but by no means did I feel pressured to buy. I have found my new salon close to my home.
