| - Oh, Altered Ego Salon & Spa, I'm sure you deserve more than 4 stars!
But I can't say too much about this place (yet) since I *just* got my hair cut there. First, let me preface by saying I have a high expectations for salons. A salon is a place where you can relax, dust off your dirt and 'clean up'. Personally, a salon is a luxury, and in the end, should feel luxurious.
The decor: Altered Ego's decor is fantastic! Classy, rustic, and dare I say, homey? It's got a very relaxed feel to it, and each work station had its own little rustic dresser of... brushes, bobby pins, styling tools and more! It's definitely a cute place.
O.K., so I must admit I don't get my hair cut often... maybe twice a year. I came into Altered Ego on a whim (I made a reservation of course) because I needed a change. And a change I got!
I got Matthew and he cut about 4-ish inches off my hair. How short is my hair now? Short. But he cut my it very well, and the layers really frame my round and sometimes awkward face pretty nicely. I think my face actually looks a little sharper now! Overall, I'm pleased with my hair and the price wasn't bad either (I've had a more expensive cut and it was about the same, if not worse.)
To top it off, Matthew actually talked about interesting things, and didn't talk too much, which is very important. Granted, "interesting" is relative, but I enjoyed discussing theatre and broadway shows with him. :-)
So, was it luxurious? Yes, in a cutesy way. Was it relaxing? Yes. Did I clean up well? Definitely.
