I am a huge commitment-phobe when it comes to salons. I've had some good experiences up in Boston and NYC, but for $300+ a visit, I expected great.
That said, even after my first visit here, I'm ready to settle down. My hair looks absolutely amazing and feels like silk. I can't recommend Mistie enough. She understands color and knew exactly what I wanted for both my color and cut, even though I couldn't articulate very well. I didn't hesitate to set up another appointment 4 weeks out, and I really look forward to getting back there.
If you have any hesitation about a new salon - don't. I did not see one bad looking head of hair in the joint and everyone there is really, really (genuinely) friendly.
