This was one of the best haircut experiences I've ever had. I'm new to the area from California and didn't want to go all the way to Madison to pay a fortune for an over stylized cut, as I'm more of a "natural" type. After searching my new town of Portage I didn't find a lot of Yelp reviews of the 4 or so salons in town. This was the 2nd salon I called and the wonderful Danielle answered the phone. I've always had long wavy hair and was looking to cut most of it off for a more youthful long bob cut. I was very very nervous and had a few questions before I felt comfortable enough to make the appointment. I told her what I was looking to do and asked her if anyone there is familiar/experienced with curly hair. She told me that she herself has curly hair and that she feels comfortable working with curls, and said she could do the cut. In addition, I asked her if I brought my shampoo in, would she be able to use it instead of the house shampoo(?), she of course said yes. She made me feel so comfortable right away, which is priceless. I've had so many hairstylists that I felt didn't listen to what I was asking for, and assumed they knew more about my hair than I do. This was not Danielle. She told me she could get me in right away if I got there in less than 10 minutes. I got in, and we got to it. She was familiar with my no-poo products, which I liked as well. I showed her pictures of what I was looking for and she gave me EXACTLY what I wanted! This has never happened to me, so I felt so relieved. On top of it all the cut only cost $17 plus tip ($10), and Danielle was so sweet, fast, professional and just, well nice. This girl knows what she's doing and I'm so thankful for her! She is my new go-to. I highly recommend that you request her if you want to feel your prettiest after your cut! Go girl! The read more
