| - After reviewing various salons in the area, I decided to give K2 a try. I called them in the morning and booked an appointment for an hour later. Chris, who I later found out was the owner, said it would be no problem. She was pleasant on the phone and spoke English!
I arrived at my appointment time of 1130am and was taken in by Claudia. She advised she would be cutting my hair today. She was pleasant and spoke English too! Bonus!!! I could actually communicate with her too!! (Just an FYI, she also speaks Cantonese and Mandarin if you prefer.)
I showed her a couple of pictures of what style and length I wanted. She said she could it it. She then took my coat, gave me a robe to put on, hung up my coat, and proceeded to lead me to the back to wash my hair. She explained that normally an assistant does the hair washing but since they were busy today, she would be doing it.
She gives a great hair wash! She washed it twice with shampoo and once with conditioner, all the while, massaging my head. At the end of it she put a warm towel under my neck and along my hairline around my forehead and ears and massaged it, which felt like heaven. I could feel the tension melting away. Afterwards I was led to her chair. Claudia did what I asked, cut it in a "V/U" shaped cut, double checked the length was what I wanted, asked key questions like how do I normally part my hair, gave suggestions to questions I asked to keep my hair healthy and deal with frizz and was honest about it. At the end she made sure I was happy with the cut before leading me to the front to get my coat.
The price was $32 for a was, cut and style, which is a pretty good deal. Overall the experience was enjoyable. I will be coming back again.
