I am a firm believer in you get what you pay for. This salon is nicer than most places, but my results are also a lot better. I used Shawn and I wouldn't trust my hair with anyone else. He is very good at coloring and a perfectionist when it comes to cutting. He is very talented and artistic. I let him use his judgment on what to do with my hair and I have to admit it's not what I would have ever asked for, but I'm glad I gave him that flexibility because I've never had so many compliments.
