I was in search of a new stylist and R Salon was offering a Groupon. I figured a discount made the gamble a bit less risky, so I called. The receptionist booked me with Niza.
The salon was tricky to find because it sits behind another building. I entered through the wrong door because the signs said the entrance was on the north side and I didn't have my compass with me. A staff person rescued me and brought me to the front counter.
Niza was on time for our appointment, offered me a seat and a cold drink (it was 110 degrees that day) and then patiently listened as I scrolled through about a hundred style pics and talked about my plans to - maybe, maybe not, maybe, maybe not - grow out my pixie cut.
I felt so comfortable in the salon and Niza made me feel totally taken care of. In two hours, he took me from drab brown and gray to platinun, and I love it. I have found my new stylist!
