Amazing salon.. but stylists don't always listen to you.

I reviewed on here a year ago and gave Visual Image the best review. After going to Visual Image for over a year and 1/2 now, I figured it was time to give a more updated review. Visual Image is an excellent salon.. their stylists are all very well-trained. If you're really trendy and you want the best, boldest hairstyle, please go to Visual Image! I got so many compliments on my hair on a daily basis from all sorts of random women. People constantly ask me what salon I go to. Ruthie, in particular, gives really great, bold styles. However, I am switching to a different salon. The stylists just kept going bolder and bolder with my hair and it was just getting too crazy for me. Right now I have these crazy bright red streaks mixed in with my blonde and it's just really too much for me; if I was 16 I'd love it, but I'm 25 and I think I'm a little old to have my hair like this. I switched to a few different stylists and it was always so awkward for my old stylist to see me with a new stylist. They would always give me catty looks. But sorry, if a stylist isn't going to listen to me and give me what I want, I'm not going to continue service with them. I'm switching to Avalon Spa & Salon because I've heard great reviews from some of their customers. I'm hoping to go back to normal hair. Warning: do not book yourself for a haircut/haircolor with a lower level stylist on a Saturday morning! The salon is so crowded on Saturdays that the stylists wind up fighting over the bowls to rinse out color treatment. If you're with a lower level stylist, you're at the bottom of the list to get your haircolor rinsed out. And sometimes the lower level stylists have to have their clients sitting in front of a mirror in an office chair instead of at their own station! How embarrassing!! I'm glad I was never one of those clients.

Pros: Very well trained, great hair products

Cons: Cost keeps going up
