| - This review is for Jessica Calkins.
I found Jessica (then at another salon) in 2004. I did not have a recommendation as fate would have it, I called for an appointment, and was scheduled with her. Although I had a general idea of what I wanted, I had also brought her a picture, she worked with what I wanted to create a color/style to fit me. She has done my cut/color since then, so 9 years now??!!! When I moved away to college in Seattle she did my hair each time I came home.
Several friends and family members have also become Jessica's clients. For this reason I can say she has a broad range of skill for all ages. I'm in my late 20's (cut/color client) as is my sister. She does my mother's hair (in her late 50's) and also did all of the hair for my sisters wedding in 2006. Another friend, who is also a professional hairdresser, started seeing her as well and is pleased! Personally I have watched her work on ethnic hair and she is one of the rare few that has mastered ethnic in addition to other hair types. Her clientele includes men & children as well.
The other review about expediently cashing checks is not true. If you don't have funds to pay, don't write a check. Generally she will cash your check at the end of the week or within a few days. Jessica is very reasonable & accommodating. I would have no hesitation to ask her to wait a few days to cash a check (if needed). She's great at squeezing you in and managing time so you aren't waiting. When my mother had surgery she offered to come by our home to do her hair, just to make her feel a bit better during her recovery!
Color is her expertise and I find it works well if you just let her go with it. For example, if I want copper she will work in that guideline. She has made (blending multiple colors) custom colors on her own for me so they would flatter my coloring/features better. My hair doesn't turn heads, it breaks necks. I am constantly being told my hair is amazing by strangers, friends, co-workers, etc. She can do textbook what you want but letting her be creative with your hair is worth the risk! You will not be disappointed!
Jessica has never, ever done anything to my hair I disliked. Rather, she often will make "fun" (color or cut) pieces so I can change up my look day to day. She is a perfectionist that loves the craft and will check/double check your hair:) Several times she has told me if I don't like the way the color looks after a few washes, etc come in and she will tone/modify it for me so I am pleased. I can say this has NEVER been the case!
The icing on the cake is that she's fun to talk to. We always laugh and have a good time!
