I had a awesome experience at Creative Salon a couple months ago. I found a coupon on their website for a free cut with any color- not a bad deal, plus all the good reviews here on yelp made my decision easy. Because it was my first time, and I didn't have a recommended stylist to go with, I asked for a Saturday appointment with whoever was available. My stylist was Ericka, and thank goodness! She was great! I was cutting about 6 inches off my hair and had a picture of what I was envisioning with me. Ericka and I talked about what we could do, the different types of tints/dyes/hues that would work best to achieve my desired color. And we had a long conversation about how the cut would work- I have extremely fine, wavy-but-not-curly hair, and the wrong cut can be horrendous on me. I'm really glad she listened to what I wanted, and gave her feedback to honestly tell me what would work. The salon experience was great- Ericka is easy to talk to, everything was clean, and the salon smells wonderul with all the Aveda products being used. I was super happy with my cut and color, and Ericka and the salon owner were so kind at check-out. They gave me referral coupons, and free samples (especially cool was the thickening shampoo/conditioner from Aveda that I had been wanting to try). I definitely plan on going back, and I want to check out the spa portion of the salon.
