I have been in Yelptirement since 2009, but decided to log in one more time to spread the word about the very best hair salon west of the Mississippi. I am struggling to find the right string of superlatives to describe the dynamic duo that is Salvador and Patti. And I think that is why I have never written a review.
The salon itself is clean, filled with natural light, hip and comfortable all at the same time. It reminds me more of an artist's space than a hair salon, which is appropriate, because Salvador is a creative multi-talented superstar, as is evident by the amazing photographs filling the salon, musical instruments and portfolio of work as a hairdresser, which includes runway shows at New York Fashion Week, magazine photo shoots (like Vogue), and A-list stars. But as the other reviewer notes - don't be intimidated because Salvador is a totally down to earth guy with a big heart. Trust me -- this is a place you want to hang out.
Salvador has a special talent for making you look like the very best version of yourself. I usually just tell him to "make it look good" and give him full artistic license. I have never been disappointed with the result, which is without fail, chic, wearable and easy to style myself. I went from getting my hair cut monthly to quarterly, because his cuts look as good growing out as when you leave the salon. During our "relationship" he has helped me grow my hair out long (it always used to break off at shoulder length), and more recently, he has taken it almost pixie short (which I love).
I could go on and on, about how he can transform fried over-processed hair, tame ferocious curls, undo the mistakes of other colorists... and about what an awesome addition his partner in crime, Patti, is to the salon (hint - bring your significant other, and you will both walk out looking like superstars).
Just go there. You won't be disappointed.
