This salon is really close to where I live. I went in as 'walk in' and wasn't able to get in right away, but it was okay, I scheduled the appt. for 1 1/2 hours later -- grabbed some lunch and ran a few other errands and came back.
When you enter the salon, there isn't much room to check-in. There is maybe 3 feet from the door to the counter. It was kind of awkward because you want to feel 'welcome' and not linger right next to the door, but at least the staff - owners (husband/wife I believe) greeted me warming and were just a delight to chat with. The salon has a 'spa-like' decor on the wall, shelves, and tables...(ie: rocks, tall grass in vases, outdoors-y paintings...etc). There were some pleasant candles burning (nutmeg type scents, which I enjoy, but others may not like--BUT it beats the smells of nail polish and chemicals you smell in other salons).
I was just getting a cut and my stylist was super friendly and really nice to chat with. She listened to what I wanted regarding length, layers and she executed perfectly. And the hair washing station was really comfortable, (like a recliner with feet up...etc). So neat, I've never seen those types of chairs before. Also, when she was straightening my hair w/ the blow dryer after the cut at the end, it was so relaxing, I nearly fell asleep. I was overall really pleased with the salon and friendly staff (please note, the stylists are all young here, but all seem very skilled -- based on what I saw of the other patrons walking out the door). And the prices were moderate (average you would get at a good salon -- $45 for cut) They do provide coupons/deals and have other services as well: nail service, waxing...and few others I think.
I will be going back to this salon in the future. Its convenient, friendly, and have good stylists!
