On a whim I decided to purchase a Groupon from here for a color and cut, since I have been searching for a hairstylist/colorist for years now with little success.
But after working with Brittany, I think the search is over! For background, I have really annoying, hard-to-process coarse black Asian hair. It can handle a triple bleach in one session and it won't turn lighter than burnt orange (and this was at a professional salon).
However, Brittany was very accommodating with my color choices (and the fact that I was a new Groupon customer). She is incredibly friendly, and her expertise and recommendations after looking at the pictures I brought her turned out great on my hair. Usually without bleach it's impossible to tell whether or not my hair has been dyed unless I'm standing in direct sunlight, but the color she put on me was beautiful, even in dim lighting. My cut was a typical trim, to get rid of split ends and do some cleanup, but she did a great job in that area too.
Location wise she can be a little hard to find, as the salon is located in a corner mall unit which in itself houses a number of stylist suites. But it's cozy and intimate in there, and she also uses Redken products, which I love!
Pricing is a little expensive. I believe without a Groupon a cut and color for my mid-length hair would start at around $120 (don't quote me on that though, as I'm not sure what factors apply to pricing).
Worth it. I'll definitely be back. read more
