I have been going to see Natalie at Balance for years. I love this place. When I moved out of the area I made the trip back for a couple years before I finally had to pull the plug and find a salon out in Boston. When I relocated back to Western Mass I was so excited to be able to start going back to Balance for my haircuts with Natalie.
The place is spotless and nicely decorated and every time I have to call teh receptionist is sweet and accomodating. Their prices are always reasonable and the most important thing : the cut is always exactly what I am looking for. Actually I lied, its usually better. I hate dealing with my hair. I hate thinking about what to do with my hair. I hate styling it, drying it, dying it... I just hate messing with it in general. So that's why I just go whine to Natalie and she fixes me. I think the last time I went in there I said "Can you just make me look less Soccer Mom and more Hot Ass Super Mom?". She just gets me.
I had requested an emergency appointment with Natalie 3 days before my wedding because I had decided that I wanted to chop the hair I was trying to grow to facilitate an updo and just go back to a short sassy 'do. No pressure at all right? She rose to the occasion yet again and fixed me just in time. My looked awesome at my wedding and I didnt even have to Bridezilla hack at it in the hotel bathroom in a fit of rage. Total success.
I love Balance and you should too. read more
