| - I usually don't review places that I've only been to once, but I'm a lazy asshole with my hair and tend to go upwards of 3 months between trims, so who knows when I'll be back and I wanted to make sure to give them their review while my last visit was still fresh in my mind.
I went a couple weeks ago after purchasing a LivingSocial.com coupon for a $100 Brazilian Blowout. I may seem like a relatively low maintenance kinda girl, but believe it or not, it actually takes a ton of time to look like I put no real effort into my appearance. My hair takes FOREVER to blow dry and once it's dry it's a huge frizzy, wavy mess that I have to meticulously straighten, piece by piece, just to get it to look like my college roommate's hair did after she stepped out of the shower and let it air dry for 10 minutes. Bitch. Point being, I'd been interested in this new Brazilian Blowout treatment for a while, as it was supposed to fix these horrible first world problems I had, and I was super excited when I saw the coupon to get one for a hundo, as they are usually priced at $250+.
I'll start with reviewing the treatment, just because almost every time I tell someone that I did it they tell me they are considering it and ask about my results. I'm relatively happy with it, though I'm still debating whether I will go back for one at full price once it wears off. Yes, it does shave about a half hour off my time spent getting ready in the morning. I can blow dry my hair in about 15 minutes, and then only have to take a flat iron to a few wavy pieces before I'm good to go. However, I feel like it did take away some volume and texture, so I actually think my hair looked better prior Brazilian Blowout (and after spending 45 minutes on it). This slight negative aspect of the treatment has no bearing on my review, however. Patty executed the blowout perfectly. Demoting a star for the salon because of the result of the treatment would be like faulting your bikini waxer because you don't like the breeze. Obviously, it's not their fault.
Back to the salon. To start with, they serve beer and wine. If you know me, you know that I'm of the strict belief that booze makes everything better. Hell, I'd probably enjoy a pap smear if it came with a mojito, so a glass of chardonnay with my hair appointment was a solid win. My stylist, Patty, was awesome. I'm normally not a big talker in the salon chair. I hate small talk, so when stylists try to coax a relationship out of me by asking banal questions, I usually go right to the magazine. However, Patty and I chatted the entire time and by the end of my appointment I was pretty much reading my incoming texts aloud to her, so that's definitely a good level of trust to have with the person who is currently steaming formaldehyde two inches away from your brain.
The rest of the staff was very friendly as well, and they carry Tigi products, which I love. I'm not sure of their regular services pricing but the Brazilian Blowout is very reasonable at $225. Patty even told me that she's currently doing $150 for first timers, so if you've been considering it, that is a steal. I've been a bit of a salon hopper since I moved to Phoenix, but I'll definitely be coming back to Salon Krush, if only for the free glass of wine. Five stars!
