| - Let me start by saying that salons, in general, are hard to rate because 90% of the review is really about a specific stylist. That being said, I do think there are "tiers" of quality between different salons.
I've been going to Salon on 5th for 2 years. It is a very unique place because it is located in an old bed and breakfast. Usually 2 stylists share what was a former bedroom. Don't worry, the decor has been updated! Most of the stylists have worked at this location for years. I personally see Christie. I have trusted her with my color and cuts, and never been disappointed.
Each stylist is independent of the salon. There is no central manager or receptionist. I know most of us girls are not used to that; however, I really feel like it cuts down on the salon drama, and tension you can sometimes feel when you walk into high end salons. Everyone here works for themselves, they are down to earth, and each of them has a different flavor.
I have my stylist's direct cell phone number, never have a problem making an appointment (even the last minute ones), and I always feel fantastic walking out.
As for what you will spend, prices are comparable or a bit lower to what you would pay at another local salon. And, I can say from first hand experience, definitely lower than Modern Spa & Salon.
Lastly, the salon is located on 5th which is in the heart of downtown but because the salon is in a "stand alone" building there are private parking spots for free. Enjoy your beauty treatment without the worry of meters or getting out of a pay parking lot!
