This salon is located directly below Chateau du Faubourg which is the B&B JH and I stayed at for…read moreour long weekend trip. I booked a blow out for a wedding at F and Cie purely out of convenience...and the salon looked nice.
My go-to look is a lot of volume with a round brush and twisting it down to create some natural waves.
- The hair wash was long and I had a fantastic head massage. I feel like the girl took a lot of care not to get my face wet since I already had my make-up done, which I appreciated.
- My hair turned out nice. There was nothing really "wrong" with it, but the hair dresser used a certain style that didn't achieve exactly what I wanted. She dried my hair by sections, but straight, so it didn't get any volume. Then she took a curling iron over it, did the waves I wanted and sort of scrunched up each section on the top of my head. In the end it just did not have any volume.
- They speak pretty much no English here. I got that vibe when I first called, because the girl who answered the phone had to pass me on to someone else. They knew enough to get by, but there was zero conversation. It ultimately made it slightly awkward. Personally, it's not a reason I would dock a star, I mean my French could be much better too; but having someone who is able to communicate in English is always a plus.
Overall, it was A-OK. It wasn't the best but it certainly wasn't the worst either. Let's just put it this way, I wouldn't not recommend it.
