I was referred to Lid Salon from a friend of mine who had been going to one of their stylists for about a year prior and had always been extremely happy with their services. I booked an appointment with the same stylist and didn't have a problem getting an appointment. I did have to wait a week but they were great at accommodating a time that worked in my schedule and were very friendly on the phone( I had been told they were usually booked solid).
anyways, I instantly liked the vibe there. Its not overly luxurious but it made up for that in charm and warmth. I was offered a drink within being there for two minutes and another stylist chatted with me while I waited for my appointment. I was getting my hair coloured and cut and am super specific about what i want, so i usually place a lot of trust in a stylist to actually figure it out because i just start referencing a bunch of famous people and hope that they can come up with some sort of hybrid hair do.
Luckily, my stylist wanted to talk, was super current and seemed to have it figured out pretty quickly. Got my hair washed and got a massage by an assistant I think....she was super nice as well.
I left not only liking the colour but changed my bangs a little, at her suggestion....which normally I would have been so nervous about, but she made me feel confident that they would look great...and they did.
When i was done everyone there seemed interested in the result,which i have never experienced before. Other stylists mentioning how great it looked and so on. It made me feel more confident to leave then getting a lipstick touch-up like some other salons do on the way out.
I had a great first experience at Lid and will definitely be returning.
