I walked into Avalon with the blonde in my bangs growing out and wanted them dyed back to their natural brunette state. I figured, why go to a high end salon when it's such a small portion of hair? The girl who I sat down with began with a sour face, but after some idle chit-chat, she perked up considerably. She listened to what I wanted from my coloring (natural, please!) and she grabbed her teacher to verify the plan she should be taking to get there. After agreeing on my coloring fate, the teacher went off to oversee other students while my girl mixed and brushed on the color. After sitting and chatting with her, she washed my hair and the dye out and agreed to do a quick bang trim for me. She blow dried my hair and the color looked absolutely perfect. Her teacher came back again to check the color and to add some texturing to the trim and it looked amazing! After using my coupon from the Savvy Shopper booklet I got in the mail, I was charged all of $4.50! (keep in mind I only did a small section of hair)
Now after all of that good stuff, the next day, I did wash and blow out my hair to find that there are some places where I can see some of the blonde leaking through. I'm going to go back in and see if they can fix that. Otherwise, great deal.
