It's a welcoming, clean and restful salon. We seemed to click and the Spa Pedi was so nice and relaxing. I so enjoyed the experience so much and left feeling like a Queen with some bling on my toes.

Tain is the proprietor of Swank Family Hair Design. She is just a freakin' hair genius, not to…read moremention a human being who radiates supreme awesomeness, not to mention coolness under pressure. Tain always makes my teen daughter and me look really good and put together. She's a skilled communicator who is good at interpreting our hopelessly vague instructions. Whenever we make an appointment, we may arrive shaggy, but we always leave with smiles on our faces and struts in our strides. I have absolutely no idea how Tain does her magic. Whenever she's working on me, I just flow along with whatever we're chatting about that day, and then suddenly we're all done and she's pulling the cape off my shoulders, and this wonderful new me is staring back at me when I look into the mirror. (As opposed to me thinking to myself with mild disappointment, "Well, ok. Maybe this'll look better tomorrow after I wash it...") WRT Tain's skills with different types of hair: My hair happens to be middle-aged, European, colored, thinning, and curly. My daughter's hair is half-Asian, uncommonly thick, and straight. Tain does a great job with both of our hair textures. Tain's prices are extremely reasonable (i.e., you would pay a lot more for her services if she were based in Seattle). So, tip well if you can :) Tain is a pretty busy lady, so have a little patience when booking appointments -- you probably won't hear back from her for a few hours or days. But she's definitely worth the wait if you're able to work with her flexibly. Now that I've posted this review, I hope more people discover Tain's salon. True, it will be harder for us to get appointments in the future. But, hey, we're willing to make sacrifices to support an artist :)

The next place I went to showed me just how uneven it was. No wonder I had so much trouble with it. Makes me sad because I liked going there. For what it's worth I've heard of some who like it there. Maybe if you're not too picky it's good. I'm a picky one about my hair.

I really had to dig through social media to see the types of hair styles that BLO could create; there weren't enough examples to look through at the time. I wanted to play it safe and ended up getting soft curls in my hair. The lady who worked on my hair was super sweet and and was considerate about my concerns of my straight hair falling flat. The end result was beautiful. The only con that I had was that my hair didn't have the soft beach hair wave to it like I had hoped. It was doused with a LOT of hairspray. Overall, I was happy with my voluminous curls and would definitely go back if I'm ever in the area again.

I cant count how many top salons that I have been to that can't do a basic highlight that looks natural. She listened carefully and found a photo that described what I wanted and reproduced it. The products that she uses are 80% less damaging and sulfate free. She offers online shopping convenience for reproducing the soft feel at home. Lauras prices are very reasonable and her salon is nice and clean. Ruby her sweet pug is irresistible and ready to cuddle if you are. So happy to have found a great hairdresser right here in town. FYI The sign outside says "Hair to dye for"but inside the door says 'Hermosa Hair Design' as Laura only recently purchased the salon.
