| - Several months ago I stumbled upon the Snapdragon Salon website and read about their in-house model program. Now, I love my long-time stylist, but wasn't sure about spending the money on a color service, just in case I didn't like it. I thought, why not try it out for a substantially lower price point first? So I sent an email to Snapdragon as an expression of my interest in participating in the program, not really knowing the details or if I was a good fit for what they were looking for. A few weeks (perhaps a month or so?) later, I received a call from the program's coordinator inviting me to come in for a consultation. Me and my virgin hair wanted to add some color by way of an ombre and I was scheduled with Jordana Barton, a stylist new to the salon who was working through this program on her way to earning full fledged, stylist-out-on-the-floor creds.
A total of three visits later and I've got myself an awesome ombre and a fresh haircut, all for next to nothing compared to the retail value of the services received and products used. (FYI, it took three times because I s-l-o-w-l-y eased back into the world of color with really natural, minimal color, then thought that a cut might be a good idea, and finally decided to add more color because it just looked so great.) In fact, I referred several of my gal pals, and two from work ended up seeing Jordana, too.
The salon itself is really cute and comfortable, spacious yet cozy, welcoming and not uptight or pretentious. From the first phone call, to scheduling with Sharon at the front desk, to the owner who came over to check out my stylist's work, everyone was absolutely professional - and they all knew I was receiving deeply discounted services! Plus, they make a great little cup of coffee and I never felt pressured to purchase additional products... although, that reminds me that I need to go back for the hairdesser's oil.
Last but not least, to my stylist Jordana. I feel quite fortunate to have been paired with her because she's friendly, funny, and is easy to get along with. She really listened to what I said about my hair and had good instincts about what cut/color would work well for my lifestyle. And like me, she also has an affinity for thank you notes! She did a fantastic job and I've been on the receiving end of lots of compliments, including praise from some friends who have had some less-than-satisfying ombre experiences in the recent past. I've been going to the same stylist for nearly fifteen years, but had such a great experience with Jordana at Snapdragon that I've decided there's room in my life for two great stylists.
Pretty sure Jordana's recently moved on from her days in the model program, but don't let that stop you from requesting her. And if you're hoping to hit the jackpot with a stylist working through the model program like I did, give them a call to inquire.
After ten years without color I was a little nervous to take the plunge, but I coudln't be happier with the results. Thanks again!
