Needing a new place to take care of my hair needs, I nervously considered a few that were within walking distance of my home in Sonoma. EJ-588 has great reviews from many, but still, I have been disappointed many times by salons in various parts of the country. People in the past acted as if they understood my words, and expressed enthusiasm for tackling my hair. I have shown them examples of what I wanted in their hair styling books, and I have drawn illustrations. I have also brought along photos of hairstyles I previously loved on me. The results have mostly not been happy ones for me; I feel like I received what other people perceived would be good on me instead of what I asked for. I have cried over some of the results of such enthusiastic people. I have hidden myself from public viewing!
While walking just for exercise, I passed by the salon, and on a whim, walked in. Donna had just finished another client, and had time for a haircut. I know the salon is a very busy one, heavily booked, so had not expected to do anything right then. However, I happily agreed to let her give it a try, as I felt at ease as soon as I walked through the door. Donna talked a bit about what I wanted, and then dug in. Donna heard my words, heard my concerns about previous cuts from other hairdressers, and then took action. Wow. She heard me and she delivered. I realized my results were very different from her previous client I'd seen leaving. To me, that speaks of talent and versatility. I am so pleased to have found her: a person who listens and can deliver. She is talented with hair; mine is not easy to work with yet she had no problem, apparently. She is also very pleasant and friendly and I would confidently recommend her to anyone. I think the pricing is in line with any other comparable salon, and will be a client for the future. read more
