| - I love this place!
I've lived in Calgary for just over a year and I've tried a few different places and every time I walk out from getting my hair done I'm bothered by something. It can either be the price, the look, the wait time (over 30 minutes at one place...WITH a reservation), the work I have to put in afterwards....but when I left Lavish I had none of these feelings.
I found this business here on yelp and I thought, "well, worst case it's just another hair salon". But let me tell you, it's NOT just another hair salon.
I walked in and everything was nice, clean, modern and the people were genuinely nice...not that fake nice you get at some other places. I was welcomed by my stylist Heather Stacy, who immediately offered me something to drink. I can't remember the options because I'm a little late with this review, but there were options.
Heather S. was amazing! She actually sat me down and wanted to know exactly what I wanted....I told her I wanted blonde highlights but I didn't want anything that would be "WOW, look at the blonde in your hair". I wanted people to notice I did something, but not overly obvious....maybe for people to think I got a tan, ha. She knew exactly what I was talking about and went to work. I also told her that I'm not the type of person to work on my hair in the morning; I'm more of a wash and go, maybe blow dry if I have time.
Once I left and woke up the next day, the style looked the same as the day before AFTER I washed it, fantastic...looks good AND low maintenance. I went back to work a couple days later and people asked me "did you get a tan?" "Have you been out in the sun? Your hair looks lighter" PERFECT! That's EXACTLY the reaction I wanted!! Heather Stacy NAILED IT!
I highly recommend this place to anyone, and I know I've found my long-term hair salon.
