A positive experience, overall. I called for an appointment and was given one with Jennifer for the following day...well, then they called back and apparently Jennifer couldn't (didn't want to?) do it, so they placed me with Becca...on the same day I called! Pretty miraculous. The salon was very pleasant, clean and orderly. I was treated very cordially by the receptionist (who appears to also be a stylist, or at least an assistant). I was offered coffee or tea and settled for water, which was kept replenished throughout my stay. Becca listened carefully and then provided a very good color job (highlights and lowlights) and a very professional cut. My only objection may be my own fault. I was willing to pay what to me was a fairly exhorbitant price for what I hoped would be a new, more exciting look. I told Becca, "I want to put myself in your hands." My hair does now look very nice and healthy, and falls and moves better, although the style has no particular pizzazz, and the color, while very professional, is not particularly exciting...I sort of went from mousy blonde to nondescript brown. I wish I had known better what to ask for. I had hoped that in my "consultation" she might have shown some enthusiasm or insight other than a wish to eliminate the sharp contrast between the colors from my last color weave elsewhere. I am trying to talk myself into feeling better, but I am not excited when I see my new look in the mirror, and after paying for the services including the tip and purchasing the shampoo and conditioner, I was about $300 poorer...and Becca's not even one of the ones commanding the highest fees in this place.
Pros: Pleasant ambiance, highly competent stylists/colorists
Cons: Very pricey, no real enthusiasm for me as an individual in search of a "look"
