I used to go to Modern Salon in Ballantyne and started going to another salon that was just OK after they closed. I recently got a recommendation from a friend to try a stylist at the Phillips Place location, and boy am I glad I listened!
I enjoy going to a nice salon to get my hair done, and Modern Salon Phillips Place delivers. The salon was bustling with activity, even at 4pm on a weekday afternoon. Everything was clean, the atmosphere is very chic and upscale but not uptight (there are Jr. Stylists that start at $35). There were plenty of people there at the front desk to help check me in quickly and efficiently. The front desk staff were pleasant. They didn't offer me a drink, but my stylist did.
Speaking of my stylist - Alysia was wonderful. She isn't overly chatty, but not because she isn't personable, its because she is intent on doing her best work. She took her time in the consultation (I appreciate that Modern scheduled 15 minutes for a consultation), listened to what I was looking for and delivered a haircut and blow dry that exceeded my expectations.
I love the scalp massage at Modern, the atmosphere and the location is great, too! I left feeling pampered and excited to schedule my next appointment! I would definitely recommend this Salon and specifically Alysia.
