| - I found this salon right here on Yelp, and I have been coming back for over 2 years. As a creature of habit, I've only had Adele do my hair, and she is really great, so I can't comment on anyone else who works there, other than to say they seem pleasant (and fun) enough. I think I can say with certainty that Adele has been the most skilled stylist my hair has had the good fortune to be in company with, and that my hair has come out better here, more consistently, than anywhere else.
She also puts up with my last minute cancellations, hangovers, and irritating scheduling practices -- thanks Adele!
So, without a doubt, this is the place I go to, and will continue to do so unless something really bad happens or something.
Some things to note: I used to go to a fancy Aveda salon on Mill Ave, and the price there was $5 more than what I pay Adele. At the Aveda salon, they used to do the whole massage your hands thing and put a hot towel on my face and whatnot. I think people like that kind of stuff -- just not this guy. I used to have to go to the lobby bathroom and give myself a scrubdown so I wouldn't smell like cucumbers or mint or whatever that oily stuff they slathered on me was.
So that's just me and I'm just glad that Adele gives me the extra (cold by request!) rinse-down before I leave so I'm not a walking ball of shedding hair particles -- and that's how I like it. But if you are looking for a super fancy place that focuses more effort on your hands than your hair, you might be less than happy here.
You will, however, probably get better service, from nicer and more talented people. I'm not much of a chit-chatter when I get my hair did -- but I'm happy to listen to the banter that goes on around me, and the other patrons seem to have genuine experiences.
Two other minor issues (and the reason for the loss of the star):
1 - The whole look of the building and the rear parking lot doesn't make for a very salon-ish feel. The parking lot back there seems like anarchy -- cars parked every which way. I realize the building is an older slump-block conversion on the borders of Arcadia, but the first time I saw the place (and I'm not sure why, exactly), it looked more like some kind of restaurant. Your architectural influence could use some updating.
2 - Again, this has more to do with ambiance more than anything (and probably more for people besides myself) but the waiting area isn't very comfortable either. I know you guys have limited space to work with, but there it is.
