For 17 years I've lived down the street from this absolute gem of a salon, and started going to Tracy about 4 years ago when I was challenged by my ever-evolving process of being a blonde. For clarity, when I went blonde in 2020 before Covid it was Jackie @ Mcrae & Co on Marketplace that took me to my first step. Unfortunately she's a bit of a ...jerk, and I never felt comfortable in her chair so I decided to do my research and find another salon after about a year. Arden seemed like a logical choice being a mile down the road, and word-of-mouth was excellent so I pulled the trigger and made the call that changed my hair journey forever.
Tracy is the owner at Arden. Heather and Crystal are the other amazing stylists with chairs in the salon. ALL of these women are incredibly-friendly and happen to know what they're doing. I've never once seen the salon empty unless I was the last person leaving from an appointment. It's a comfortable, feminine space, clean, inviting and the cutest selection of eye-catching local jewelry and garments as well as hair products. It's a space you WANT to get your hair done in...trust me.
Cut and color prices are extremely reasonable. I'm a bottle blonde with a "bixie" that needs maintenance on the regular, and rather than pay a small house mortgage each time, I'm pleasantly surprised by the price after every visit. No sticker shock here. Tracy keeps notes on my color so I never have to worry about what was done "last time". She's also a doll, so it makes being in her chair that much more fun. I can't imagine anybody else, except maybe Heather or Crystal, doing my hair at this point.
If you're looking for some beautiful color work or just a new do, this is where you want to come. Arden hasn't once disappointed me, and I doubt they ever will. read more
