I was lucky enough to win a salon package to Cherry Bomb Salon at the Indie Ogden first birthday bash. It was for hair color, a designer cut, designer style, and pedicure and facial waxing. (I didnt use the pedicure or waxing, since I do those on my own- but they were nicely offered!) I was pretty excited considering the last time I've had my hair professionally colored was over 7 years ago. I've also struggled to find a stylist in Utah that I connected with and trusted fully with my hair, so I made my appointment with Natasha; the junior stylist, and strolled in for my pampering.
The first thing I noticed was how cozy the salon was. Its two stylist stations, a seating area (where they offered me bottled water), and the hair washing station. It is clean and bright, and comfortable; and Natasha and Nikole brightly greeted me and made me feel welcome right away. I felt entirely confident in my cut, they asked a lot of questions and made sure I was getting exactly what I wanted. My color came out exactly as I had dreamed, and she had a lot to contend with, as it had previously been blue, blonde, and I had 2 inches of brown roots. Despite that, the color looks uniform and natural.
My hair wash was the nicest I've ever had, it was so relaxing and felt like a massage at the same time. I had a deep conditioning treatment that left my hair feeling like silk, and they use Pravana products which really seemed to have a great effect on my dry previously color damaged ends. My husband also commented how fabulous it smelled. Natasha gave me the lovely layers I was hoping for, and thinned my hair out which saves me product, styling time, and drying time without losing any volume or style.
YesterdayI brought my sister in for a haircut and we were once again wowed by the gorgeous designer haircut. Nickole gave her just the style she was looking for, and took some of the weight off her head, as hair is so thick and long it was giving her a headache. Nickole thinned it out without making it look thin or scraggly.
Nickole recently returned from a training session in Florida where 30 stylists started and only 5 were left at the end- they were tested on many technical skills and Nickoles abilities proved quite worthy. Pravana products are also cruelty-free, paraben-free, sulfate free, and eco-conscious, while still providing fantastic results. I enjoy every time I come into the salon- Nickole is SO friendly and sweet, and I really like talking to her and hearing more. Her technical skills match her resume. My sister and I are both thrilled with our hair, and I cant remember the last time I've looked forward to getting my hair cut.
One note: the salon is smaller, its not really the place to bring your kids. You certainly CAN and Nickole was so great with my daughter (she gave her some hair tinsel which absolutely thrilled her!) but there just isnt much space for kids to wander without being in the way (not what you want during a haircut) and no space to put anything for them to play with- so I really advise leaving them at home if you can. They dont dislike kids, they just cant 100% accomidate them.
After years of searching and disappointment I have finally found a salon I can not only trust, but afford. I highly recommend Cherry Bomb salon and I hope anyone looking for a new style will give this local salon a shot. I know I'm already looking forward to my next appointment. read more
