| - I really loved my previous salon, but decided to give Verde a shot because it was closer to home (gas is precious these days) and I liked the idea of an organic salon. I knew I was going to be a hard-sale, though, because as I said, I liked my previous salon a lot. However, Verde proved to be top-notch and I'm sold. Sorry, former salon. :( It's hard to compete with convenient location and safer products, especially when Verde has such a great staff.
I saw Emily for a cut and color. She was very patient with me, because I really didn't know what I wanted when I came in. She offered her suggestions and I left with fresh layers and a beautiful rich brown color. She was very friendly and knowledgeable and didn't act annoyed with the fact that I couldn't really give her firm answers on anything. She also offered some helpful suggestions for hair care, and I appreciated the fact that she didn't try to hard-sell me products from the salon. Hard-sell salons are always a turn-off--when I go to a salon I don't want the whole visit to be a sales pitch! So I was glad that didn't turn out to be the case here. Emily also asked if I'd like my eyebrows dyed to match. I was surprised by this because I've never had anyone ask or offer to do that before. It has never even occurred to me. But I'm glad she did, because it looks great!
While I was there, I also mentioned that I was looking for an esthetician to help me with my acne, which has been out of conrol. Emily asked Meghan (one of the estheticians) to come chat with me. She asked me about my skin and then gave her recommendations. I ended up booking an appointment with Meghan the next day.
I had never had a facial before so I didn't know what to expect, but the experience was relaxing overall and Meghan seems to know exactly what she's doing. She was very friendly and sympathetic and offered good advice. I'm excited to see how my skin will look after a few weeks of following the treatment plan Meghan suggested.
So far my experience with Verde has been fantastic and I'm already looking ahead to plan my next visit.
