| - I saw a woman crossing the street with most phenomenal hair cut and colour about 2 years ago, so I asked her what salon she goes to and she said "Lid...It's the best." I was looking to find a new stylist after being unsatisfied and with the salon I was going to, so I made an appointment.
The location is incredibly easy to get to, being in the heart of Yorkville, and the best part of it is that it comes without ego or pretension. The space is warm and the people are easygoing and very inviting, not Snobville at all...I met with Mel, who I was immediately comfortable with, she was like a friend, who just happens to have a top shelf brain and vision for really great hair. She understands the actual chemistry and science behind color and the true art and lines of a cut. I am always impressed by her knowledge and eye. I appreciate the feeling you get from a person who is obviously educated and very good at what they do, as that can be hard to find.
When I started seeing her, my hair was just above my shoulders, curly and full. I wanted to grow it out. My colour was dark brown, and I needed my roots done. The colour adjustment she did was perfect, she took the edge off the brown/black harshness that happens when you need touch ups on dark hair, and the cut was exact. As my hair grew out, Mel shaped it and cut it, so that it always looked longer as it was growing, and I guess the proper word for it would be, balanced. I never felt like it was getting top heavy or winging out. She explained to me how my hair had been cut in the past and how she is going to cut it this time to create the look I'm going for. I am one of those people who when I leave a salon, I need to feel that I am leaving with exactly what I wanted or else I can't get my mind off it, and every time I leave Lid I feel it is done right, the first time, no second guessing, no settling. I am very particular about that.
For the last several years, my hair has been dark brown, and whenever I have tried to lighten it in the past in anyway, it has always looked brassy or unhealthy, but I always wanted it a bit lighter. So now, my hair has grown out to long past my shoulders, and I have lightened it a few shades, dabbled in the ombre look and have perfectly toned highlights throughout, and I love it. The colour is perfection, my skin tone is balanced, and my cut is exactly how I envisioned it to be as it grew out. I have had strangers compliment my hair and ask me what salon I go to, just like it started for me. I have witnessed all the stylists there, and am continuously impressed with their work.
Salons and stylists are personal, and when you find the right one it clicks. Lid is my recommendation every time.
