| - Man, do I hate having my hair done. I hate sitting in a chair uncomfortably for hours making small talk with a semi-stranger for 3+ hours. I hate having people roughly pull my hair and shoving my head a certain way.. It doesn't relax me at all. I dread it.
But I sure do love having gorgeous hair.
Shag Me Salon was a recommendation by one of my customers. She had hot pink hair, and it was spectacular looking. It wasn't the look I was going for, but any salon that can successfully pull off that kind of color is a winner in my book. I immediately made an appointment (with no specific stylist in mind) and eagerly awaited for the day to come.
Jeremy was my stylist, and I honestly can say that he exceeded every expectation I had about my appointment. I told him I wanted piecey blonde streaks alternating platinum and a mellower yellow-gold. He brought out a color book and actually spent the time to make sure we were both on the same page with the colors. I have rarely had a stylist take the time to do this (they just generally assume), so I felt he genuinely cared about my hair and I appreciated that. He worked quickly, and the highlights came out perfectly piecey and exactly the right color. No having to tone my hair to get the right color like so many stylists rely on. He did it right the first time, and it looked amazing.
When it came time for the cut, he layered my hair so flatteringly and thinned out my overly thick hair. He also gave me the most gorgeous side swept bangs. I have a cowlick right in the middle of my hairline. But somehow he made them look amazing. I have no idea how. All I know is, I'm screwed when I wash my hair tomorrow, because there's no way I'll be as talented as that guy in replicating it. But he gave me some styling tips, so hopefully I can get them to cooperate somewhat like he did.
Two important things: He picked up on the fact that I'm not a huge talker, and he respected that. It relaxed me not having to worry about discussing some TV show I've never watched or what antics Kim Kardashian has been up to in the past week. Secondly, when he wanted me to move my head a certain way, he either asked me politely or gently tilted my head. No rough jerking of my head or barking orders at me, like...well...every other stylist I've ever had.
I swear, if I had the money, I would go to Jeremy three times a week, just to have my hair washed and styled. He was truly amazing.
I've babbled. Let me sum up the rest of the salon. This place is perfect if you're looking for an unconvential/rockabilly/burlesque/pin-up hairstyle. But it's also quite welcoming if you're like me and need something slightly more conservative. All the stylists were cool, skilled in a variety of cuts and colors, and had the greatest, most chill attitudes I've ever seen. There was no fakeness to be had, which I enjoyed. The salon is clean, but down to earth. It's not pretentious and the prices are unbelievably reasonable.
Unless you want a mullet. The pricing sheet says they charge $200 for it. ;-)
I'll be back to Shag Salon, especially to see Jeremy. A HUGE thank you to you guys!!!
