| - I have mixed feelings about this salon.
Upon entering I actually had to wait to be greeted while a regular who walked in at the same time was attended to. I don't mind waiting, but acknowledgment would have been nice The lovely young lady behind the counter was polite, though not overly friendly.
I had an appointment so my appointed stylist came to greet me. She was very friendly! I loved her energy & enthusiasm right off the bat as we discussed what I wanted done. It's a nice space, the shampoo stations are great and relaxing. Honestly, one of the shortest head massages I've had, but good none the less.
The only argument here is that I feel she didn't have any experience with curls. She tried, but curly hair is notoriously difficult for someone who's not accustomed.
She offered to blow my hair straight, but seriously, women pay a fortune to get curls like mine so umm no.
I've been around salons my whole life as my step mother owned several and has been in the extension business for decades (how I know what people pay for these curls) I did expect a bit more.
I take full responsibility for not discussing that I need someone who can work with my hair type in advance when I made the appointment. I've never forgotten that step before and it did bite me in the end.
Again, the stylist was a dream! I think her name was Kayla. I would recommend her to another hair-type in a heartbeat! She loves what she's doing & is eager to please.
I did walk away with a bit of a "pyramid head" lol. I'll have to wait until I get some more length to have that fixed. Meanwhile, I'm rocking some ponytails!
I do like the space, if I do go back I will discuss my needs in advance to see who I can be paired up with. Once you find someone who can handle spiral curls, hold on to them!
