This is one of my more ironic reviews as I'm a proud patron of the Self-Serve Salon. However, I did attend the Corey Michael's Grand Opening party that was pretty awesome. We arrived at the salon right at the start of the party, to which we quickly found the drinks and sushi. Liquor was Grey Goose Orange and Dos Equis. Sushi was from Maiko just down the street, and we quickly found the chopsticks and plates. The sushi was run of the mill, but what was nice were $5 gift cards to Maiko scattered about the salon.
The salon itself is very nicely decorated with clean, modern look. Even the salon chairs weren't horribly ugly. You know what I'm talking about. Somehow, the decor all fit well nicely. My one complaint, that may be a moot point during normal salon business hours, is the lack of bathrooms. I didn't use the bathrooms there, but there was a huge line the entire time.
In addition to the sushi, Sullivan's catered some appetizers. Cheese, crab cakes, filet mignon, and giant prawns (shrimp) were served. We took a seat and waited as these four selections were brought to us over and over again. My favorites were the filet mignon with red pepper aioli and giant prawns with a spicy cocktail sauce. My companion's favorite was the filet mignon. The ladies serving the appetizers presented us with cards for free bar entrees at Sullivan's. They said we looked like their type of customers, good eaters. I agree. Companion and I both like to eat.
I'd say we were pretty spoiled - drinks, good food, and entertainment by other party patrons. There was a certain magazine writer that provided entertainment and data for my research. My companion even said that he would get his hair cut here if he was served food and drinks during his visit. Good Job, Corey. We may come back sometime in the near future. We'd like the filet mignon and prawns please. read more
