| - I have lived in the neighborhood for 16 years and recall when VOLR came around MANY years ago. It's only now that I checked this place out.
This past Wednesday I had an appointment scheduled for a color and cut with Noah. Honestly, I didn't know what to do and who to trust after the untimely loss of my previous hairdresser/friend. I took a chance. Threw caution to the wind... and ended up in Noah's chair.
Noah's quite the gentleman and consummate professional. I came in with nasty grey roots and hair that was dying to receive a cut. I brought my iPhone and pulled up my Pinterest app where I'd collected many photographs of hair styles that I liked... and one that I did not like. (I like to make sure that my stylist TRULY understands what I'm going for). I feel that I'm realistic in my expectations and after discussing where we'd like to go with my hair, on this very first time together, Noah goes to work.
I won't take you through all of the details, but I am very VERY happy with the results. I never expect to get out of a salon with less than 3 hours of work... and Wednesday was no exception. Seriously, I don't mind. I was glad to have fun conversation with my new stylist... If you're going to spend a significant amount of time with your stylist, you'd better be comfortable with them.
VOLR is a beautiful salon inside. There's good music playing. And it's very "downtown", which I, of course, love. Hooray Local!
Just a 1/4 of a mile from my home!!!!
I found myself a stylist and a place that I believe will be my new salon.
Prices are definitely reasonable too!
Oh, one slight downside... and I don't mean to bust chops here... but the magazine selection could use some updating. Some of those magazines were a year old. Glad that I had my iPhone. Other than that, I had a lovely time.
