I moved here from Boston about 3 months ago. I went to one salon in Madison that turned my hair orange. I have very dark hair and wanted blonde highlights so I was at the salon for almost three hours yesterday. Kristina did not want me to use the dryer to accelerate my lightening time to prevent more hair damage. She's patient and knows what she's doing. She listened and gave me exactly what I wanted and what I was use to. This salon is not for the low maintenance, it's a little on the expensive side for this city but it's worth it. Although I've only been here once, you get the impression you come here for a hair style and not just a simple buzz cut (judging from the men who were there). I've heard two of the hardest things to find when you move is a new dentist and a new hair salon. I have found my new hair salon in Madison! I already booked my next appointment.
