They don't have to pretend like so many other salons. The atmosphere is understated. The pace is relaxed but efficient. You are the most important focus, not them. WHY IS AJ THE BEST? AJ does not just cut your hair. Before he picks up a pair of scissors he studies you. He feels the way your hair falls, and its particular qualities. He notes the shape of your head, your face, and other physical attributes that make you you. He listens to you and discovers THE IMAGE YOU WANT TO PROJECT. Then he shares his ideas and, if you agree, he designs a hair style especially for you, one that you can care for, one that will accentuate your good points and minimize (if any) your negative ones.And he has the skill to carry this out. People often comment: "You look great!" or "Great Haircut!" That is why, regardless of how I felt when I came in, WHEN I WALK OUT OF AJ'S, I FEEL BEAUTIFUL.

A while back, I sensed I was being isolated to the back room because of my age which I disliked. As time went on, with an alternate stylist, I was positioned in the large room with other clients. They've got railings for folks that need them. What I appreciate is being treated understandably re hair styling etc. This is a great salon! I highly recommend it!

To whom it may concern (curly haired people might be most interested):…read more I moved to this area 20 years ago. For most of my adult life, I kept a very long hair style mostly due to my natural curl (need to have length for weight for "control" and "stretch" of the curl). It is not easy to find people who know how to cut naturally, quite curly, hair; so when a mistake is made, it is one that must be "lived with" longer than anyone wants to. This is a critical factor. Seeing a nurse for a doctor treating a dear senior friend I'm primary caregiver for, I could see instantly the attention to detail, the talent and creativity, and SKILL on one head of hair. I had to know who did it! It wasn't a style right for me, but it was perfect for this young woman. I have naturally curly but very fine hair and am in my mid-fifties now...so, gray is coming in - some little "shocks" and peppering definitely there, even if hidden under dark brown longer covering the silver bits. My hair was down to my waist when wet before I had enough and wacked it off a few years ago on my own in an emotional need for FREEDOM from the work and time involved in managing all that. Somewhat isolated, and super busy with caregiving, I just cut it myself (with the help in the back of my senior male care-recipient) for years. It was time for balance, evening out, true management and real care for ME. Meeting Crystal, and then THERESA whom Crystal referred me to, was a God-send. Anyone can chop and pop a hat on a head, right? I have been a professional hair stylist and a Hollywood and International level professional as a makeup artist to stars, celebrities, models and actors on every level for 25+ years. Living in this small town and rural area for 20 yrs with a change of lifestyle for my health and more took me far away from access to the "best of the best." Finally, I think I've found a place here where I am listened to, my own ideas and thoughts are respected, and a true collaboration can occur... and it did...and at a fair and "happy" price to all. Theresa accomplished exactly what was needed and wanted. Low maintenance, quick "management" (to almost none), and an ENHANCEMENT of my own hair's natural qualities and assets with a graceful and realistic, practical and healthy focus on such an incidental as "hair" should be to life. I told Theresa I wanted the ability to vary the style according to my mood, situation, the weather and more...all while aging gracefully and avoiding artificial coloring, etc. Well, SHE DID IT. I cannot be happier. I've hired and fired some of the "best hair people" internationally, and so far, with my first experience with Sublime and Theresa there (referred by Crystal, whom I'm so grateful to), I feel I have a safe place to go to for my naturally curly, graying (now) short hair. Hair should not be a "stress" for ANYONE. If it is, the right cut and care has not been applied. My life is complex, and I need a cut and ability to style that will rise to each and every occasion so that I can remain unselfcounscious and stay in true balance. This gives me freedom to focus on what most needs to be focused on, and without having to "check my look in the mirror," which to me equates to vanity - and that is something I abhore. Personal expression should be about an enhancement and honoring of one's natural expressions and gifts - not about artificial, fake and over-done, high-management "styling." Color for FUN, if you will, but not to "cover up" who one is. That's just my sincere feeling. Everyday when I wake up for another day, I'm not readying myself for a presentation or performance - I'm simply presenting an honest expression of who I am for what is needed, and "preening" is NOT MY STYLE. Thank you, Sublime, and Theresa in particular. What will I ever do without you from here on out? LOL! I can write, design, draw it, paint and sculpt, etc., but I have always directed my staffs to impement my directions most specifically where cutting and coloring were concerned (NOT my specialty, as has been design). I could not find people outside of Hollywood or NYC that can meet my expectations and needs, really. Today, I feel differently in Corning, NY with SUBLIME. If you want talent, creativity and and open mind from those who will LISTEN to your needs and listen to and work WITH you to achieve this, Sublime is the place to go. My bet - you will be glad you did. Love, Life and Peace in ALL we do - Wren

I used to go to Sublime some years back when I had a specific stylist. She was great, loved what…read moreshe did with my hair. After she moved out of state, however, I didn't have a great experience. First, it was almost impossible to get an appointment because no one ever answered the phone (it was definitely during business hours). Even though I left messages with my number to call me back I never got a response. One time, when I *did* get through to someone, they told me they didn't know how to schedule my appointment because they weren't the stylist. WTF? I managed to get one last appointment in because I had a gift card and wanted to use it up. The lady I saw was fine but I'll never go back there again because of the previous crap.

The makeup lasted long into the night and made for beautiful photos. The mother of the groom is not used to wearing hardly any makeup, loved her look and was not "over done" but done exactly for what was fitting for her and her style. Some bridesmaids opted NOT to do makeup with the stylist and to DIY but I would recommend all going with the make-up artist to lessen stress of them doing it themselves if they have a bad makeup day and ensure it is going to be long lasting, plus you KNOW it is going to look amazing! Hair - all of Linseys updos were amazing and lasted all night. She is very skilled and able to do many different hair styles for all types of hair. My bridesmaids looked stunning.
