Coming up upon a milestone birthday and reading that you should lighten your hair as you get older I decided I was going to fall into the trends with an ombre color treatment. It would be easy to maintain since I would be keeping my roots my natural color and give me the "younger" effect I was hoping to get. After a grueling, agonizing search for a decently affordable salon that could do ombré the correct way, I settled with Globe Salon. In my searchings I discovered that, at the time they had several stylists to choose from and each had a different price range for cuts and colors, I assume because of their experience. I was tired of spending $30 on crappy hair cuts. In this town that's apparently what you get for a $30 hair cut. So I picked Sam she was in a price range I was willing to spend, had great reviews here and wherever i could find info about the salon on the net. I forget now what their website advertised her cut price but I did ask when I booked my first appointment how much I could expect to spend for a basic cut and ombré color on my virgin medium brown hair(lighter on the ends) and it was about $160. Oh and I remember Staci taking my appointment, she's the Salon Director and is a super nice, sweet girl with hot looking dreads, if I must say so myself.
On the day of my appointment I felt so chic going downtown to my first ever "super fancy" salon appointment. Cute and quaint modernly decorated salon bright with floor to ceiling windows is what I walked into. I was greeted and asked if I would like something to drink and to have a seat and wait for Sam but I barely sat down before she was there to greet me. They have a Keurig machine! I love that. With pictures in hand and very specific on what I was looking for she took a couple minutes to talk it over with me and went to it.
We made small talk and she colored my hair. She gave me a great wash in their comfy reclining messaging chairs. She was informative on what she was doing and how long I'd need to wait til the next step. When it came to my cut I really just wanted a basic trim but I wasn't sure what to do with my bangs except I wanted to grow them out. She was great at doing what she could with my bangs since I didn't know exactly what I wanted. I loved it! And so did everyone else! I got so many compliments! Even from the other stylists and Staci! My the time I decided to go for my second visit I wanted to go blonder but more streaky to go a little beyond the current ombré. That visit was just as great as the first. I was still one the same page with the cutting and the bang growing outing and she dealt with it with just the same free flowing attitude. It did cost just a bit more this visit due to the toner but since I had prepared myself from my first visit in asking the cost I had an idea of how much it would be this time and my head did not spin. I'm not sure why or how people rate this salon less but I loved my experiences there and will be back!
