The Loveliest Layers you ever did see..

by lilya4ever at Citysearch

I have had the pleasure of visiting this salon for more than two years now. My stylist is the LOVELY rosette. She is a master with the shears, creating lovely feminine shapes with a bit of edge. I am hopeless with hair and generally just want to tie it back with a rubberband and pretend it doesn't exist, but Rosette makes me feel like my hair is BEAUTIFUL. She is especially great at LAYERING- she can vary the layering to suit your tastes and wishes. I walk out of the salon looking very "Valley of the Dolls", a look that suits both my look and lifestyle. I was at a bar after a recent cut and actually had a girl take a picture of me with their cell phone so she could have a stylist replicate it.

I'd also like to mention something here about the experience that is visiting Edo. Just being in the the space feels good. Often you'll be greeted by one of their gorgeous receptionists offering green tea or mineral water. There is a healthy stack of magazines for color and cut inspiration. The art is always changing and lends the room a slightly different mood each time.

I really have enjoyed my experiences at this salon and suggest a visit to it for anyone seeking a beautiful haircut.

Avoid. Avoid. Avoid.

I do not usually take the time to write bad reviews - but this was such an awful experience, I cannot let other women make the same mistake. I asked for some depth to my light blond hair and I even offered magazine pictures that showed the slightly darker blond I was looking for. I walked out with bright red hair, similar to Ronald McDonald - no joke. I went back and the manager over saw the "fix" and I walked out with black hair to cover up the red. Their suggestion was to spend time in the sun and it would lighten up. I was devastated. I had to go to another salon, have my hair stripped of color and redyed (by the way, Sara at Acabello is AMAZING - she saved my hair and gave me the ability to leave the house again!!!) Edo was unapologetic and even argumentative over my experience. Do yourself a favor and AVOID this salon at all cost.

• Pros: NONE
• Cons: Skill Level, Color Stains all over skin and clothes, horrible color and service.

A disastrous experience!!

by myrunes at Citysearch

So I needed a haircut and a hair dye, I asked around and a co-worker recommended me to check out Edo, I went to city search and read the review, so I was relieved to see so many people just loved it. I called and took an appointment. A day before the appointment the stylist calls leaves a message basically stating that this is her from Edo, and my appointment is tomorrow, if I have any questions I?ll give them a call. OK so do you see anything in this message that prompts me to call back? NO! I mean if it stated call us back to confirm I would have! Anyways I go to Edo, reached there 10 minutes before the appointment, and the guy at the reception said, oh well is this the right number? I mean we called and you did not answer, I informed him about the message, so he asked me to wait ?it?ll take a few minutes? ok no problem,, well few minutes became over 50 minutes! Well finally it was my turn, well let?s make this short, I wanted two hair colors, SHE flipped the colors locations making the dark one the majority when I clearly stated I only wanted it on the CROWN area! Ok she also drenched me with the dye, my clothes and my book! I wanted a hair trim which I said 0.5-1 inch, well my hair was almost to the half of my back, and now it barely reached shoulder length! And to top all of that I was charged the high end of both the hair cut, and the hair dye!! The audacity! Yeah paid about $200! I would not go back there again, but hey if so many people like it, don?t let this review stop you, apparently I am just plagued with bad luck!
