The reason I decided to try Lava Hair was because the hairdresser I had seen at a different salon for almost 10 years had slowly lost her passion for doing hair...which resulted in my haircuts and color getting worse and worse over the last couple years. The last straw came when I went to see her for a quick haircut before the most important interview of my life. She didn't listen to anything I said assuming she knew how to cut my hair after 10 years. She chopped off almost 6 inches of my hair, and gave me horrible uneven layers. I spent most of the morning crying before trying to pull myself together for my interview. So as you can tell, I was absolutely traumatized and decided that I needed a new hairdresser! After reading tons of reviews online and talking to friends, I decided to try Krista at Lava Hair. First of all, the outside of Lava Hair does not do it justice! The inside is so elegant and inviting! Seems like they put a lot of thought into the decor...not to mention it is super clean and tidy! The girl at the front, Valerie, was really friendly and kind when I came into the salon. She showed me to a change room where they let you change out of your top and into a robe so your clothes don't get ruined...which I thought was genius! They offer you coffee, tea etc. while you wait. When I met Krista I was impressed! She was really attentive and kind, listening to my horrible haircut story. She spent time looking and feeling my hair to get a feel for it and asked me tons of questions about how I wear my hair, what it behaves like, etc. She showed me different pictures to get an idea of what kind of color I wanted before mixing it. She tried her best not to cut much off the ends since I already had way more cut off than I wanted at my disaster haircut. A plus was the whole time she was coloring and cutting my hair she was really easy to talk to. After she finished my cut she spent almost an hour showing me different ways I could style it. I spent almost 3 hours with Krista by the end of my appointment and I can honestly say that it was the best cut and color I have ever had in my life! All for around $200, I looked like I had a $500 hair cut and color! Extremely worth the cash! I feel like what they do for you at Lava make the price very reasonable! The different ways Krista showed me how to style my hair were super easy to do at home and I have never received so many compliments on my hair. Over the last two months it has grown out beautifully and I am so thankful to Krista and the Lava Salon for giving me such an amazing experience! I can officially say Krista is my new hair dresser as I go back to see her tomorrow:) read more
