Not always true in Vegas, but at this salon you get what you pay for. We're locals and my husband and I have been coming here for years. The service is consistently excellent, always friendly and they give the best shampoo experience ever (for the guys especially, I'm jealous of their post-cut 2nd shampoo with that hot towel on their face). While I do want a nice salon experience the important part is really my hair and the stylists here are outstanding. Oscar always does an outstanding job for my husband and I. He understands color, he's meticulous with those scissors and he does a great blow dry. I've also gone to Ross, who's a great stylist too. Yes, it's more expensive than the off Strip rent-a-chair local salons. But if you want consistency and talented stylists, it's worth every cent.
