I just moved here at the beginning of the month and Athena was the closest salon. It was really nice on the inside, and I was given a full tour of the spa by Oliver. Very upscale and good quality. It is unassuming in appearance from the outside, but luxury on the inside.
I received a cut and color which was about 2 hours to complete in full. I was looking for that, so it made me pretty happy. After living in Southern CA, I think the prices here are about the same if not more reasonable than they were in OC. It's not cheap, but then I expect to pay more to get a good hairstyle that I like. I think I have found a keeper here!
