My hair has always been a source of irritation for me for so many reasons but one of the main ones has been finding a good salon. Other then this salon I have only really found a small few that I find good enough to return to. In my business physicality's are very important and hair is high on that list but unfortunately I have never been skilled at doing my own hair so finding a trusted and reliable salon is a life savor!
The location is a tad far for me but the service makes it more then worth while, they're situated in a large outdoor plaza with ample parking. The salon itself is actually quite small with a more unassuming design style; I enjoy feeling comfortable in my surroundings so the super posh designs some salons have actually make me less comfortable if you can believe it. The salon is exceptionally clean and modern with less emphasis on advertisements and decent use of floor space.
The secretary was very polite and greeted me immediately even though the salon was packed. You can tell a good salon often just by how many clients are there so I knew it was a popular place. I was actually recommended by a photographer friend of mine who raves about this salon and I could certainly see why just by the caliber of customer service I received.
I had my hair cut and styled by the owner of the salon ( I am soooo horrible with names it's actually terrible!) his name slips my mind but he worked along side Elmer Olson with many models and even celebrities. He was obviously very skilled and super gentle, ( lots of stylists tend to tug at my often unruly locks ) he assessed my needs quickly and I was astounded by how down to earth he was. I was expecting him to try to sell me on all sorts of things among the top I thought would be new extensions but he was so flattering and told me my hair was actually great. Again this kinda stunned me as most hair stylists I find try to convince you of all the things wrong with your hair and all the products or services they can offer to "fix" it. But not this time he just told me all kinds of tips for managing my curly hair, he didn't even push product or anything I decided on my own to go with the amazing Moroccan mousse he was using on me that smelled so divine. Hair cut, wash and style was $60 I think and well worth that plus the tip.
A hairstylist who not only works well with my hair and my budget but is honest too? That's hard to find so you better be sure I'll be driving back out to Woodbridge for my next trim or the bangs I'm debating on getting, this time I'll get pics!
