Finding a decent salon with stylists you can trust can be difficult. Shortly after moving to the area in 2007 I was lucky enough to get a recommendation for Dante Lucci - and I've been a loyal customer ever since.
The great thing about this salon is that the stylists work together, so if your usual stylist is booked you can go to another with no hard feelings. I typically visit Jenny who is a Silver Level stylist. My main reason for going to her in the first place was that she was one of the least expensive, but I have to tell you she's beyond incredible.
Sheri is great if you're looking to do something with your color and need a good consult. Annie is the other stylist I visit regularly and she is a perfectionist so you can guarantee you'll walk out of there happy! She's not afraid to do drastic change, either. So when I want to go from bleach blonde to brunette she doesn't hesitate to help me get the results I want.
Gina, the owner, is incredible too. She definitely makes her clients feel at home there. If you want a great salon experience, Dante Lucci is it! Even after moving across town to Painesville I still make the drive out to Rocky River - they're THAT good!
