I walked in on a Saturday to make an appointment for the following weekend and I got the time slot…read moreI preferred, the woman at the desk, possibly the owner, spoke very little English but we understood each other enough. So the day of the appointment arrives and I sit in the waiting chair and a young girl comes in, hangs up her coat and gets on her little salon jacket. She asks me something in French that I think was are you here for a haircut so I say oui and we go to the sink where she does the wash, towel on the head thing. She proceeds to comb my hair and clip it up in a millions clips....the owner comes over to me and starts to get out the blow dryer and the brush...clearly we didn't understand each other so I make like scissors with my fingers so she knows I need a cut. Thank God for the woman next to me to translate the words long layers otherwise who knows what would have happened. Needless to say she cuts my hair in a way like I have never seen, pulling it every which way cutting all around and then she blows it dry very differently as well....twisting every piece then twisting her wrist a bit. I look at myself in the mirror to see the most beautiful hair ever. I couldn't believe how great it looked, which I must say I have never been able to re-create. It was the best haircut ever for only 40 Euro....I will go back for the blow out alone!

Desperate for someone to cut my hair who can speak English. I never can describe what I want so I…read morewalked in here one night, asked if someone spoke English (this was the second time I did this, the first time, they said no)...and I made an appointment with him, Anthony. Anthony and I understood each other, he had worked in the UK before so it was great for me. I got a haircut only. I have long hair a bit past my shoulders...the cut and blow-dry was 87 Euros. My local friends get hair cut and color for this price and less so I feel like I over paid, but its the price to pay if you need someone who understands you. We didn't cover hair cut terminology in French class yet !!

As a busy world traveler, I needed a trim for the next presentation in Paris. While at the…read moreBalexert's, right outside JLDC site, I took a few minutes observation of how the place was organized and the salon experts' techniques in preparing and cutting hair. It met my satisfaction compared to other local salons. Right there, I walked in and noticed there was only a slot available on that day. It was available in the next hour - lucky me! When I came in for the cut, a very nice and thoughtful salon lady, Nejma, was satisfied with a photo of a particular hairstyle I always carried in my iPhone. My goodness, she certainly is not only an expert but also an artist to the point she understood both strengths and weaknesses of my hair. Nejma, without reservations and all hands down, is one of the best among all others over years of traveling. Now, if I can just figure out how to persuade her to bring her exceptional quality talents and services to San Francisco Bay Area...mmm... Your awesome Nejma - thanks again!
