Crimson Mist Hair Salon is a hair EXPERIENCE, not just another "cut and color." If you are looking for one of the top hair professionals in Idaho, this is the place. Shohreh owns and operates this very elegant home salon and makes you feel as though you are a member of her family the minute you walk through the door. This is the first time I have had a true color specialist really look at both my skin tone, along with my natural color hair, and tell me what the best color options are. I am a blond (but a natural brunette) and am so tired of getting that terrible gold/yellow look. I have been to salons in Paris, San Francisco (where I am from)...Los Angeles and New York. I have paid hundreds and hundreds of dollars for supposed high-end color jobs, and this is the first time someone has got my color right! It's beautiful, and truly compliments my skin tone (and no gold/yellow!). Shohreh took a tremendous amount of time first consulting with me, then carefully doing my color with the finest color products on the market (she uses Goldwell products, and if you're not familiar with that line, it is hands down the best on the market). She also really spent time analyzing the shape of my face to determine what the most flattering cut would be (I knew I wanted to go shorter, but that can be really scary if you go too short and you end up looking like a boy!). Shohreh determined a cut just below my chin would work best for my face and features, and she gave me a very modern cut you'd expect to only get at a top New York salon. Very hip and cool looking, just fantastic!
I also determine a "great cut" by how well it behaves after my first wash and blow out at home. Does it fall into place and look fabulous with just "me" at the helm? The answer is absolutely YES! My hair looked fantastic straight out of the shower with a simple blow dry the next day....just gorgeous! And if all this isn't enough....Shohreh and her wonderful husband fed me the most amazing delights the entire time I was there. I thought I was in a gourmet deli! Her husband is from Turkey, and I was indulged with sweet treats and hors d'ouvres from his native homeland.... and delicious hot tea...and then some AMAZING wine from the Napa valley to boot! The entire experience felt more like I was having a delightful time visiting good friends, than having my hair done. We had a wonderful time; great conversation, wonderful eats and drink....and I walked out of the salon happy, pampered, and looking quite fabulous. I was talking to my sister in Connecticut today about my incredible "hair experience" at Crimson Mist....and she nearly fainted when I told her what I spent for all of that fabulous pampering. She said she would pay at least three to four times as much on the East Coast for the royal treatment I received. I have no doubt. But truly, I don't think you can put a price on the incredible graciousness, hospitality and phenomenal expertise you will find awaiting you at Crimson Mist. I recommend this to all of you "yelpers" here in Boise. I've hit most of the fancy downtown salons and stylists....trust me, they don't hold a candle to Shorheh. Do yourself a favor and book your next appointment here. You will have an incredible hair experience, and most definitely come out with the best color and cut you've probably ever had! read more
