| - Honestly, this place is really great. As usual, I'll do my good and bad points.
Good/great/amazing
- The service here is top-notch. If you've ever been somewhere where they don't pay attention to you, this is the opposite. Every ten minutes someone was asking me if I wanted something to drink (such as wine), a hand massage, or something to read. At one point my stylist even offered to get me something from AJ's because I mentioned I was hungry.
- Hair/facial
I went here to get a haircut, highlights, and a facial. The facial took nearly an hour and she really went to town on my face. Liz, the one who worked on my face, knew my problem areas even before I mentioned them. For the frugal yelpers out there (I'm one of them) there isn't too much pressure to get any of the products they use. At least, it's not annoying enough for you to say "Ugh, stop!" but just enough to get you to think. I did get one of the recommended face products and it really does work (even on my more oily than texas skin).
My stylist was a nice lady whose name begins with the eighth letter of the alphabet (should you want to go to her). When I got there, my hair was two-toned and very boring without any style. I spoke to her about what I wanted and nearly three hours later (and one other visit to add a few more highlights) she had turned my sad sally hair into something that I actually want to comb and style everyday. I will go back to her as often as I can mostly because my hair finally looks great.
The not so great:
Pricey? Yes. If you're a poor grad student like me, it will be expensive.
Overall: This salon is great. It is a bit pricey so I can't go back every six weeks since that would require cutting my grocery budget and/or driving. Service is amazing, they really pay attention to you, and they will leave you with great hair. My stylist really was wonderful.
Bonus: I forgot their 100% guarantee. If you're even remotely not happy, as in, 90% happy but you really want your bangs a quarter inch shorter or one more highlight, they will do it. For free.
