I regularly see Brittany at the Strand for my haircuts and the occasional highlight. I've always…read morebeen happy with the cuts, especially during my long, drawn-out process of growing out my bangs. (Also provided: moral support while growing out the bangs, which I very much needed.) I have medium-dark blonde hair and Brittany has a light touch with highlights which brightens up the overall look of my hair color without giving me dark roots to worry about and maintain. I don't have the time or money to mess around with roots; subtle highlights are the goal for my hair and I'm consistently pleased with the results. The salon is in downtown Saratoga so you are paying Saratoga prices (sigh, I'm still a midwestern girl at heart, and the cost of living up here really hurts that heart). But, for Saratoga, this is the first place where I've reliably received haircuts and color that I like, can get an appointment in a reasonable amount of time, and the actual cut and color don't take foreverrrrrr. My previous salon once took a full 3.75 hours for a simple (and not that great) cut and highlight, which is *absurd*, and why I jumped ship. Please note that the Strand does *not* accept credit cards. Cash or check only! Parking can be found on the street if you're lucky, in the public library parking lot, or in the garages on Putnam St and Railroad Place. I think all of the parking in the area is 2 hour time limit between 8am-6pm.

This is not a fancy themed ultramodern hair salon, it has more of a quaint saratogian feel about it, with eclectic mix of antiques and modern elements. They have very loyal following: people of different ages and styles, everybody feels welcome and at home. Their prices are reasonable and services good. When I lived out of town, it was always an occasion to go for haircut and visit some of my favorite downtown shops and have lunch or dinner right on Broadway.

When the stylist answered she told me that the price was infact not correct and then thanked me for letting her know. She then offered to do my hair for $80.00 and said that she was adding it on her book, I never once insisted that she had to honor anything nor did I say anything about her having to take my appointment. She even went as far as telling me direction on how to get to her suit. Then this morning the day of my appointment at 1:43 she messaged me accusing me of taking advantage of her. Not to mention the ad is still there.

The Make Me Fab team is an absolute must-have for your wedding day look! Alayne has been in the…read morebusiness for many years, and her expertise shines through in every detail. From the start, her team was incredibly organized and efficient -- quick to communicate, clear about the process, and so helpful in determining exactly what I needed. They provide a thorough contract and even offer add-ons like engagement shoot hair and makeup, rehearsal dinner glam, and other in-office services, which made everything seamless. Each time I visited for different wedding events, I left feeling absolutely beautiful. I had the privilege of working with Alayne herself for some of my services, as well as several of her amazing artists -- all of whom were professional, talented, and so easy to be around. On the wedding day itself, the Make Me Fab team arrived right on schedule and worked together like a well-oiled machine. Every one of the girls in my bridal party looked stunning. Alayne personally did my hair and makeup, and she truly brought my fairytale vision to life -- I felt like the princess I used to dream about being when I was a kid. I've already seen a few photos, and I'm in awe of how beautiful their work looked on camera. I felt so confident and radiant all day, and even my husband couldn't stop complimenting how amazing I looked! Everyone commented on how flawless the entire bridal party was. There's a reason Make Me Fab is so well-known in the wedding industry -- their work is simply that incredible. I can't recommend them highly enough!

I found…read moreMake Me Fab through a simple Google search at the start of my wedding planning last December. We were able to secure our weekend with them, and now that it has passed I cannot picture a better experience! Alayne runs her business so professionally, and is extremely well organized and kind, always answered my questions quickly and made me feel at ease about any changes I wanted to make after my bridal trial. Their salon is clean and cozy, and all the women who work there are so sweet! Lilly, my stylist for all things wedding throughout the planning, was truly one of the most talented makeup artists and hair stylists I've ever worked with. She always reassured me about any worries I might have, she was encouraging for me to feel my absolute best on my wedding day, and she completely calmed me down the morning of. All my bridesmaids were beyond complimentary of their looks and the efficiency of Lilly, Julie, and Liz being so kind and helpful, spending time with us in the morning. All in all, I could not recommend Make Me Fab more for any salon treatment or bridal experience if you are in the Saratoga/Albany area. I miss working with them already and can't wait to use their services for the future.

First of all I know you've never been here and secondly you're a douch bag, see I spoke to you. Do you feel comfortalbe now?????" Really??You might want to consider dropping the attitude (we're not in Brooklyn) & learn how to accept criticism from customers. Instead of trying to resolve an issue about a customer who had a bad experience you respond by insulting them. So keep sending the nasty messages so your customers can see the real you!

Just got a haircut here this week. Paul did it. Paul is a pretty young guy, who is, *surprise* from…read moreBrooklyn (honestly I was surprised), and he was quite personable and friendly. He gave me some good times on fun things to do in Saratoga in the summertime... Nice smalltaker that guy. I'm a guy, and I have straight, pretty boring hair. So cutting my hair is probably not the most complicated thing in the world. But then again, I know what I like and he got me looking good. I like this place because it's not a mall salon or barber shop (the $10 or $12 cut), but it is also not a $35 cut (for guys?! crazy!) where they make you feel uncomfortable about not buying some $24 potion or goo. Guys haircuts are $15 and I think it's definitely better than some more expensive haircuts I've had in my life. All in all a good experience and a good value.

I would show them pictures and it still wouldn't even be close to what I wanted. When I made my appointment, I spoke with Danielle about it. She ask me to send her the pictures. I sent her several indoors and outdoor picture so she would get an idea of the color. The day of the appointment she looked at them again. She mixed the color and it came out perfect. I couldn't believe it. I finally found a stylist who would take the time to do what I wanted. Danielle is very knowledgeable in her profession. And she knows how to mix color to get the color her clients want. I am so pleased with the cut, color and style that she did. Oh and she's great with the shampoo job she does. I was falling asleep while she washed my hair. She never splashed water in my face or anything. And the scalp massage was wonderful. I already have my next appointment scheduled. Thank you Danielle.

Carina embodies good energy and it radiates into her work. She was very communicative and thorough in making sure all costs were broken down. She was incredibly flexible to ensuring everyone's makeup was exactly how they wanted it. Some of my girls had a solid idea of what they wanted, others of us not. In both situations, Carina either crafted everyone's face exact to the picture she was following or just making it beautiful autonomously. She was awesome with the little girls as well, which was incredibly helpful. Everyone's makeup stayed fresh literally all night.
