From the lush plant decor to owner Alex Martinez' and stylist Julia Duran's knowledge of organic beauty elixirs, when you visit Abloom Salon you are guaranteed to leave feeling renewed and, yes, more attractive. I have visited both stylists since 2009, Julia has great attention to detail and always cuts my curly hair in a flattering shape. Alex truly listens and is such a creative stylist. Their airy new location in the Grand Ave. arts district features a raw beauty bar; I'm counting the weeks to my next bang trim.
