I saw Kati at Lather. I showed her an entire Pinterest board I had. We discussed my hair history…read moreand I told her I wanted a light brown copper red. Attached are the reference photos. She asked if I wanted highlights and dimensions I said yes. Most of the references have highlights. What she gave me was the opposite of what I asked for. 12 hours before my vacation I ended up with bright blonde highlights on a dark brown base. I had darker hair then what I came in with somehow. I asked her why the color was dark she said it oxidized dark. I didn't question her. She told me she has done hair for 25 years. I don't believe that based on what I received. I explained I wanted the highlights to be copper. Once she started blowing out my hair I was getting incredibly upset. It wasn't even close to what I showed and we discussed. I had not touched my hair in a year to let it grow and get healthy. She botched it. I told her I was extremely upset. She told me she could fix it the next morning early before my flight and that she would text me. Unfortunately I had to leave for another appointment and paid her $400 for my hair. She wasted my time, my hair health, and my money. I shouldn't have paid her at all. After an hour I become really upset after getting a look of my hair in the sun. I called lather salon 12 times. No response. I decided to drive over because Kati had still not texted me to fix it. I showed up and she was gone. The salon owner was still there and tried to call her but nothing. She apologized but offered no real solution. Saying she was done and couldn't help me. She suggested to go down to one of the 7 salons on the street and try to get help. I did and found a gem of a stylist. She told me my hair was so botched she would have to lather my hair in bleach. Further having to destroy my hair health to undo what Kati had done. By the time I have the bleach on my hair I finally get a text from Kati. Offering a 50% refund because she also had give me a dusting. A dusting costs $200 apparently. Instead of going back and forth with a stylist who obviously didn't care about the service she provided just the money. I didn't continue fighting. The entire process I was in the dark about what was going on with my hair. Lies were told saying it's going to be copper. Do not come to this salon. They wrecked my hair and I had to spend more money fixing the damage she caused. But I guess it was worth $200 to her.

I love Mint! I started going there nearly 20 years ago. I had the same stylist for years. I…read morefollowed her when she opened her own place, but in the last few years she moved out of town. I immediately went back to Mint and am lucky enough to work with a stylist who has been there as long as I've been going there-Macari is amazing! This is a solid place with friendly people and very talented stylists. The older building provides high ceilings and the white and mint paint job presents a cool and fresh space. It always feels open and airy, which is especially important during this pandemic. The Covid protocols here are outstanding: everyone is wearing masks, stations are spaced out (it seems that every other station is empty to ensure social distancing), and the place is spotless. The owner of the business, Melissa, is always so friendly and kind. She remembered me after I hadn't been there in several years. It really felt like going home to return back to this amazing place. I really enjoy supporting this woman-owned full-service salon.

For many, a hair or beauty salon is merely a pit stop for basic maintenance, a routine chore to tick off a weekly to-do list. For me, however, it is a sanctuary. My love for the salon goes far beyond the physical transformations that happen within its walls; it is rooted in the deep sense of comfort, rejuvenation, and connection that the space consistently provides. At its core, the salon is a rare haven of pure, uninterrupted self-care. In a fast-paced world where we are constantly tethered to responsibilities, deadlines, and digital screens, the salon requires you to pause. For an hour or two, your only job is to sit back and allow yourself to be taken care of. The experience is deeply sensory and therapeutic. There are few feelings quite as relaxing as the rhythmic scalp massage during a shampoo, or the comforting warmth of a hot towel. In these moments, the external noise of life fades away, replaced by a soothing environment dedicated entirely to personal well-being. Furthermore, I love the salon because of the unique artistry and connection shared with the professionals who work there. A truly great stylist or aesthetician is part artist, part confidant, and part magician. They possess the unique ability to listen to your vague, often disorganized ideas and translate them into a tangible reflection of your personality. The relationship built over time with a stylist is special; it is a space of trust where you can vent about your week, share life updates, or simply sit in comfortable silence. To be truly seen and understood by someone who uses their hands and creativity to make you feel beautiful is a remarkable gift. Ultimately, the true beauty of the salon lies in the profound confidence boost it delivers. There is an undeniable shift in energy that happens from the moment you walk through the door to the moment you step out. It is not just about a fresh cut, a vibrant new color, or perfectly manicured nails; it is about the internal renewal that accompanies those changes. Walking out of a salon, catching a glimpse of your reflection in the window, and feeling a sudden surge of pride and readiness to take on the world is an unmatched feeling. My love for the salon is a love for the way it honors the relationship we have with ourselves. It is a place that celebrates personal care, fosters human connection, and elevates the spirit. More than just a business, the salon is a celebratory space where we go to wash away the weight of the week and step back out into the world looking, and feeling, entirely renewed.

The walk-in is so easy because you can just park in the neighborhood. There is no chemical smell as you walk inside. It's very friendly she smiles at you. She offers you water.
