| - In my new neighbourhood, they've gotten rave reviews. One of the reasons I came to check it out was that they give FREE BIRTHDAY BLOWOUTS on the day of your birthday! Call to make an appointment.
I went today because I needed to colour my hair. I loved the option for $35 to do just the hair line, if you have greys coming in. Unfortunately, mine were way too long, and I needed to have the full head of colour done.
A full head of colour is one flat rate (unlike some other places that charge you more if you have more hair etc). This is good for me because I'm in the latter end of the hair volume spectrum. Add an extra $10 for ammonia free colour which is so much better for your scalp. Overall, it cost me $90 including taxes, which I felt was quite reasonable. That included a quick blow dry (no styling)
They sat me down, and got me some tea. Lots of HELLO magazines to pass my time. I felt bad I wasn't as chit chatty with my colourist as some of the others. I have noticed that sometimes, in new salons, you feel comfortable, sometimes you feel really apprehensive. I was nervous a little, I'm not sure why, perhaps it depends on how comfortable the person working on your makes you feel.
The girl washing my hair did a great job, gave me some tips on styling and everyday maintenance. She tried to make some small talk, but felt patronized a little when she asked me if I was still in school. I know she didn't mean much by it.
Anyway, back to the business of it all, overall the colour was great. I love the natural balancing shampoo they use, and a very good job in marketing it. I also got some samples.
Found out also that men's haircuts are around $25-30 (so reasonable!). And free clean up between appointments, you just need to walk in. My husband remains loyal to his barber, but I hope someone else will check this out!
