| - I decided to make my next trim and highlight appointment at Sonoran Beauty Salon because of it's proximity at home and it's great Yelps.
I walked in and was greeted by a nice, smiling receptionist. I had to wait for about 2 minutes for my stylist to come get me, giving me time to scope out the place. Very, very clean and organized. Everyone---stylists and clients---were smiling and there was lots of soft-voiced chatter. It was a great vibe. I liked that the walls are light and the decor minimal. (Why do some salons bury themselves in dark colors that reflect on your face and hair and make you look BAD?)
My stylist came to get me. Gabby. What a sweetie. She spent a good ten minutes messing with my hair and determining how she was going to recreate/blend the new color. She even consulted with another stylist. I like that. Take your time, talk with your co-workers. Don't mess up my hair.
During the color and trim, Gabby was a pleasant conversationalist---not too chatty, light-hearted. When I had to take a business phone call, she didn't get huffy.
She gave me a great scalp massage when she rinsed my hair. Ahhhhh!
She did a great job trimming my hair---I wanted a trim, not a cut or style. Perfect.
I LOVE my color. She actually brought in some bolder ribbons of light blonde. I love that look. I am not ready for the all-over matron-beige quite yet.
So, I seldom award more than 3 stars. Three stars=A-Okay. 4 stars is "Yay, I'm a fan." Who the heck do you give five stars---"Woo-hooo---as good as it gets"? But I thought about it: Very clean-check. Nice vibe? Check. Nice, talented stylist? Check? Happy with color and trim? Check. I can't really find a reason not to give 5 stars---plus why mess up the roll they're on, y'know? Plus, I will return because I really, really like my hair color. So.....5 Stars!
