4 /5 Ice Qu: Decided to try this salon for the convenient location and good reviews. Booked online appt. with Jayme and it was not only easy but helpful because I signed up for reminder texts. In todays busy world, this is so excellent!
Arrived at the salon and opened the door to a mostly square working space that is divided into sections by freestanding cabinetry. By the door are two waiting chairs and the reception stand. To the right, just behind that, there is hair washing station. Farther back is a place to hang coats as well as a powder room. The rest of the space is for hairdresser stations. Color scheme is brown and black, a bit dark but makes sense because there are basically windows all around. Summer can make it very bright.
Jayme did a quick consultation and then came the shampoo. She is really good at that! I feel like my hair and scalp are still singing from the gentle lathering. All fresh and clean, she proceeded to give my hair the trim I had asked for on this visit. She had used a very good conditioner, I must say, because for once I didnt need to cry "Ouch!" A miracle!
I had asked for a simple straight cut and she did a great job. At the completion she wanted to use those texturizing shears on the ends and I decided to say yes to that since I plan on getting my hair shorter soon anyway. (Note that normally I would have said no because I think barber scissors can do a better job.) Anyway, she did dry my hair nicely and finished off any flyaways with a flat iron, which I thought was very nice. The experience was definitely positive. Why not 5 stars, then? Well, this is a neighborhood salon, after all, not a posh spa salon, so I dont want to give that impression. More importantly, would I return? Yes, I would, and I would probably be so bold as to ask for precisely what I want, because Jayme is a very down to earth and approachable person, and she would be up for that.
Note: A cancellation policy that includes a cancellation fee is in place. Youll want to read up on it or ask about it when you book, and be okay with it. Remember they are selling an ephemeral service here, so it seems appropriate to respect that so the shop can stay in business.
