| - My experience:
My sister-in-law, Kari Gibney works at Salon Surreal as an aesthetician (or however you spell it! - She does great facials, waxing, etc.).
I am starting a new job tomorrow and woke up and decided I desperately needed a new hair-do!! So, I thought I'd try out her place....even though I was tempted to try out the nearby Supercuts because I am broke.
But, I came to my senses and thought I better not take that chance and go ahead and get a good cut. So, after reading all the previous reviews and talking with Kari I was so excited to get in (the same day I called) to see the proclaimed Bobby - apparently a hair guru.
I have to say, it was the best cut I've had in a long time. I had been going to another salon and paying $40 for the haircut. It was always just okay. Bobby's haircut was $45 and SO WORTH that extra $5!!! He was completely friendly and easy-going. He gives the best scalp and neck massage too!!! My previous stylist never did that!!!
The salon is open and everyone seems very friendly - plus they have ice water, iced tea (in actual glasses instead of styrofoam cups) and cookies.... which my old salon never had/offered.
My hair is thin and frustrating to work with because it's also frizzy/kinky/curly. But, he gave me a new cut (I've always done some version of a bob) that is so cute!!! I love it!!! And he could blow-dry it so it was smooth looking (without a flat-iron)!
So, I think I'll stick with Bobby from now on!
And if you need a good aesthetician ask for Kari Gibney!!!
P.S. I do want to point out - as an overall salon it's not the best out there in terms of design/decor/atmosphere - the decor is kind of outdated and it's not as serene as I think salons should be. But, I gave the place 5-stars because for the moderate price range it's pretty darn good. I'd challenge you to find a more opulent salon for the same prices. I'm sure there are some amazingly designed salons out there that are opulent, modern, luxurious, etc - but their haircuts are not gonna be $45! Just wanted to make that point.
