I found out about this place from a staff member at Ahava Day Spa (which is an awesome spa with friendly, professional staff) , and this place is just awesome.
I had my hair done once by Carmen, and she followed exactly what I wanted... used hot rollers creating big, big hair. Lol. She also offers 15 or 30 minute scalp massages, which I will surely try soon.
I also had my hair done by Rhonda, who is just as good. She is super friendly, professional, and knowledgeable about hair, extensions, products, etc. She did cornrows for me in February before I went to the Dominican Republic, and I loved them. At that time, I asked her if she could do my daughter's hair, who is half black, so quite different from braiding white hair, like mine. She said she had never tried but would love to try it out, so my daughter and I went last night, and wow, she did such an exceptional job. You would never know she hadn't braided black hair before. My daughter is just thrilled with the look she has now. We were both so impressed. It took about an hour and a half, and the time just flew by. Rhonda is interesting and easy to chat with.
While doing my hair, both Carmen and Rhonda asked me exactly what I wanted and offered advice on what would look best, etc. Just lovely, lovely ladies.
The salon has a welcoming feel to it, and all the staff I have encountered are friendly. It is extremely affordable as well. Tea/water is also offered to you. There is metered parking ($3 per hour) available right outside their salon, which is just by Grant McKewan. read more
