About 11 years ago I happened to get a coupon in the mail about a hair salon close to my house. I called and Rachel was the only girl that had an opening at the time. I went to her, fell in love and I have yet to find a better more honest and caring stylist. She opened up her own salon and expanded just a few years later.
I know this sounds like a cheesy bias review but let me explain. I moved to Chicago in 2007 and I have tried to find other stylists in the city and it has been a major fail. Every time I go to Cleveland I call Rachel and she makes sure to fit me in (even tho she is really busy).
The prices are just perfect. Come on would you rather pay 175 for a keratin treatment or 300 plus???
She is extremely honest and that's rare. If you want a hair color and it will not be good for your hair, she will tell you instead of charging you for a triple process.
I absolutely love her hair cuts. I call them the old fashioned way because she takes her time. Nowadays stylists cut the bottom part, split the hair in 3 parts in the back, pretend to give u some layers and call it a day. I have a crazy amount of hair. 6 minutes haircuts are not gonna cut it, for the lack of a better term. Not Rachel! Go to her and you will see what I mean. Now, let's talk about the fact that she is amazing at color. So innovative and so educated in the department. She even is an instructor for Matrix. Helloooo!
The new salon has a separate hair washing room with beautiful colors and relaxing ambiance. The girls even give you a mini facial/massage thing after they wash your hair. What more can a girl ask for?
I have suggested a few of my friends to her and they absolutely adore Rachel and her crew. Try out the salon, you WILL not be disappointed.
