| - Today, I finally took the step to get my hair done. It had been a year, and I had postponed long enough. Unfortunately the salon I previously frequented, my stylist was no longer there. After years, I was lost again. Anyone knows how difficult it is to find a good stylist, and by good I mean, talented, skilled, and someone who you can comfortably spend hours with one on one while they do your hair.
First, I called, last minute of course (I come from out of town) and was SHOCKED when I asked if there was by chance any availability today for what I needed (a 4.5hour block of time) and the receptionist said, yes, I will find someone and call you back. WOW. I was already in love. Nothing is more depressing than getting your hopes and dreams together, only to have them dashed to pieces and return home with sad hair again. A very short time later I received a call from Kristin Royseland saying she could do it, and gave me a time about an hour later. Then she did call me back shortly after that to let me know there was a slight delay, which I found considerate and actually helpful because I ate cookies next door.
Upon my arrival, I was greeting by a friendly receptionist. Checked in, I looked in awe at the fluidity of the establishment. There were TONS of people working, tons of chairs (stylist, not just for hanging out) and yet, it seemed to work. It wasn't loud, which was shocking, and it was nice, but not so nice that I felt awkward or unwelcome..I've had those circumstances before. Shortly thereafter Kristin located me...which wasn't hard. I had warned her of the heinous hair I was sporting.
Call me shallow, but I judge the amount of styling freedom by the way the stylist has their hair. Not necessarily that its a style or cut that I want, but that it works for them. I'm no hair guru...but ANY stretch of the imagination, so I like input, however if your hair looks awful on you, and you are doing mine....I'm probably going to hesitate on giving you the liberty to do what you think. With Kristin, it was, just do it. She gave her suggestions, which were on par with my thoughts, but one step further, and went to work. Friendly, delightful, no overly talkative, or boring. It was comfortable conversation and nothing too forced or weird. I hate that.
We went through a series of painted on color, mixed with foils, and the time flew. Off to the processing room (sounds like Wonka huh) and then to the bowl for some additional treatments and eventually a wash, rinse, and back.
Kristin then utilized her techniques to shape my hair into something I can manage. simple, but absolutely fabulous. She then walked me through products being used, how to use them, and even techniques, since she knew I was not someone to spend 3 hours on my hair each day. I truly appreciate that. And for the finale....I was proud to leave with my hair done. I didn't feel like a hussy, like I had just left an 80's party, or was completely underdressed for the black tie even I was to appear at later. Just the right amount of everything.
And you know what? The price was awesome too. This is hands down in my top 3 (possibly even the number 1 slot, but some of my greats were like a decade ago...so I can't accurately compare) hair jobs ever. So, thank you Kristin (if you EVER read these) You did an amazing job. Even my hubby, who NEVER EVER mentions hair unless I ask him, was very pleased, and didn't require prodding. FABULOUS. I could have hugged you, but that would have been weird....So folks, this salon is awesome. Don't hesitate to give it a whirl. and if Kristin is available, see her.
