My stylist just so happened to be owner and operator George. We talked about what I wanted to achieve with my hair and how I wanted to get it healthy and grow. As we went over my options I noticed that they also did hair extensions. So I also inquired about that. Over a matter of weeks we focused on getting my hair and scalp healthy while he ordered my hair extensions. By the time it was install day my hair was healthy and ready for hair extensions installs. They were installed and they look great. I go back every other month for a move up and when the extensions have no life left I order more packs from George and he installs them for me.

In fact, she was so good that I was even thinking about when I should come back even while I was still laying on the table! I had a "Reset Facial", which included a microdermabrasion. It was the first microdermabrasion I've ever had. Everything was fantastic. I was the most surprised by 2 things: 1. Danielle can be so gentle with certain movements during my facial and yet powerful (in a good way) when giving me a shoulder and neck massage! 2. My face was baby soft not only the day of the facial, but even the day after! I kept touching my face because I had never felt it so smooth and soft like that... in soooo long! Things to note: - Binx is inside of Seaweed hair salon. - The service area is a comfortable, but very small room. - Danielle is very friendly and professional. - She only accepts certain forms of payment (I forgot which, so you have to check before you go.) I only downsides are the wait time was longer than I would have liked (we started 30 minutes after my appointment time, which made me rushed afterwards), and Danielle can book out for weeks, so you need to be patient when booking. (That's really a testament to how popular she is, and I think she's worth the wait!)

That's ok a girl can pivot so we decided to do facials. I found Luna Beauty through yelp, and we booked two facials with Alexandra for one hour. Our plan was to go back to back.

My sister had hers first and she was glowing. My sister said that she and Alexandra chatted a bit but mostly just quiet during the treatment. For me, Alexandra and I had some casual conversation up until the massage point. So if you're a girly who likes silence or a girly who can chat Alexandra will meet the energy. What I liked the most was the heated bed (!!), but mostly and the care Alexandra took to make sure my skin was not reactive. I tend to flush and she was conscientious about that for my treatment.

Traveled a long way to see Brooke, as she is the blond guru! She was able to successfully turn my daughters hair from home bleach tragedy to gorgeous blond without doing any more damage to her hair! My daughter looks even more gorgeous and is so happy with the results! I also received a trim and brunette color touch up and I'm simply in love with how shiny and soft my hair is! The salon is gorgeous and clean! They are doing everything right to keep that nasty virus far away from their salon. Thank you Brooke for you amazing work and for making us feel beautiful!

Huge recommendation for Evolve Beauty Lounge, especially for Sarah. She is a lovely person and incredibly knowledgeable stylist and colorist who really took time to discuss with me different options and recommend one that would be healthy for my hair. The result proved to be the most stunning: a rich monochromatic hue that blended perfectly with my natural hair color and complemented my skin tone. Subtle lowlights added a seriously dimensional look and perceptible variety. I walked out looking and feeling great! read more

I can't speak to owner Sydney's haircutting skills since I also booked with Erica, but she was very helpful on the phone helping me schedule a convenient appointment time. From scheduling to arrival through the haircut and even paying the bill the vibes were just right. Erica listened to what I was thinking (something like Noah Wyle's haircut on The Pitt), offered her own thoughts, and then really took the time to give me a great haircut -- initial trim, luxurious shampoo, and then touchup. The haircut (including a genuinely no-pressure tip) was 2-3x what I typically pay at a basic barber shop, but when I come home from the barber shop my wife's face doesn't LITERALLY LIGHT UP like it did when I brought this latest haircut home. Totally worth it. A relaxing spa-like experience while there followed by just that extra bit of love in my wife's eyes. The salon is a lovely, peaceful space, just 10 minutes up Highway 9 from Highway 1 with easy parking. I hope they get lots of steady business so I can continue to have a terrific local place to keep going back to!
