| - After some time away and a bad haircut (somewhere else), I returned to Salon Estique for an up-do on my 30th birthday. I was not happy with a sylist's work, but that person has since left. I was not planning on getting my hair done and at the last minute said, "self, you're only 30 once, splurge and get your hair did!". So I got in with Hollis, a very nice stylist there. She listened to what I was wanting and produced a fabulous look for my big night. My style was $50, which I felt was a little steep, considering that I really don't have much hair. Regardless, I looked and felt great all night long.
Since February, I've returned to Hollis for my cuts and color. She is very friendly and is easy to talk to. And not just about what I want with my hair. She has many years of experience and I feel like I can really trust her.
The salon itself is nice enough. Well laid out and friendly staff, without being too trendy and making you feel out of place. They offered me wine while sitting under the dryer once or twice, but not every time I'm there. They also stand by their services and if you are not happy, they will do it again until you are happy, free of charge. I experienced this when I wasn't completely happy with a cut. Hollis trimmed a bit more off the back and I was a happy camper.
The only complaint I have is that they seem to book their stylists a bit tight and one or two other (typically very young) girls will assist while my stylist is off helping someone else. If I am paying top dollar for my services, I should be getting experienced professionals adding color to my hair. Shampooing is one thing, I understand that, but I prefer one person to perform my actual service. (cut, color)
All in all, I enjoy my experience and end results each time at Salon Estique. I would recommend them to anyone who lives in this area. Ten minutes from my home is just an added perk!
