| - I booked a cut/color/highlight after purchasing a Groupon. Usually, I look up reviews of the place of business before purchasing, but did not do so this time, as the salon was close by and I needed something done quickly.
My first pleasant surprise was the ability to book my appointment online. EVERY business should do this! The salon's online appointment system is simple to use, and pretty fool proof. I loved that I didn't have to stop what I was doing to make a call, wait for an answer, then go through my calendar with someone over the phone. This was quick - look at what they have available, pick my time, BOOM, done! Love it.
When I arrived for my appointment, I was a little surprised to find that it was in the "Signature Salon" building, which I have passed literally hundreds of times over the past several years, but never knew what it was about. Kim's salon room was easy to find, tidy, and very comfortable.
As we began our consultation, I was thrilled to hear that SHE was happy with what I wanted. I love going red with color, and so many colorists balk at that, thinking I don't know what I really want. Kim not only loved the idea, but also was able to flip right to the correct shade after she took a look at my skin tone and gauged my natural color against what I was asking for.
As for the process itself, she did it perfectly. She was very thorough, which is unusual in and of itself. I've been getting my hair done in various salons for many many years, and I don't think anyone has ever been so thorough. I liked that she combed the base color all over, because people usually miss the hair by my temples, which is the only place I have gray hair.
As for the woman herself, she was very sweet and kind, not overbearing, not pushy. She wasn't "too" chatty, as many stylists can be, but definitely showed an interest and kept the conversation flowing.
I liked her business model, and she definitely has some great ideas to keep up with current trends, both in hair styling AND as a businesswoman.
Frankly, I can't say enough good things. My hair looks fabulous, I feel awesome, and I'm thrilled to have found a local, independent business that I can continue to support.
Go see her, you won't be disappointed!
