"I drive all the way from Tucson to Tempe to see Erika. \n\nI wanted hair that was a bit edgy but would allow me to maintain my regular job. I was having trouble finding this. One stylist put blond streaks all over my head that looked nothing like the photos I had shown the stylist. Another salon asked if I was in a rock band or an artist. Since my profession didn't fit into a \"creative\" category, I was denied. I didn't get this attitude when I visited Grooming Humans.\n\nErika was able to get rid of those Barbie doll blond streaks and put me back to my regular dark brown color. On top of that she put in blood red peek-a-boo streaks. She does custom mixes and has any Crayola color you wish. What is great about the style she suggested is that I don't have roots that show right away. On top of that, she uses this toner which makes the color stay longer than when I've attempted to dye at home. While the salon is a bit pricey, I don't have to go that often.\n\nThe disadvantage of this salon is the parking. Better bring a pocketful of quarters as you'll have to use a meter or a pay lot to park."^^ . "2010-09-26T00:00:00"^^ . . "0"^^ . . "5"^^ . "1"^^ . . "0"^^ .
