Let me just show some love to a new find...The Strand Salon. I know there's a crappy review on here…read morethat Yelp does not recommend, and I don't either. Someone was mad and had their say. I am happy with the salon and Imma tell you allll about it! I have been looking all over for a Devacurl-certified stylist close to home, that is reasonably priced and down to earth. Many other salons have umpteen million pics on their sites of the salon itself, showcasing the high class art work or open floor plan...The Strand caught me with their client photos, the great cuts and phenomenal color jobs that range from mild to wild. I needed to reshape my last Devacut from 3 months ago. My ends were dead and the curls hung kinda funny. I didn't need a wash/dry/style (Devacuts are done on dry curls) and made this clear over the phone. I was quoted $45 by the receptionist, and that seemed reasonable, so I made an appointment for my 6 yr old daughter to get her (straight) hair cut too. Everyone was SUPER nice and sweet to my daughter, and she felt very comfortable. I wish I could remember her stylist's name...anyways, she gave my daughter a great cut with a lot of movement and youthful layers and we all were happy with the results. Danielle did my Devacut and she knew exactly what she was doing. We chatted like we were old friends and she took the time to explain what she was doing to my hair. She gave me more layers in certain places to add volume (which I told her I loved). She also told me to call her in case anything didn't look right when I styled it myself. (It's PERFECT. NO COMPLAINTS) And get this - she only charged me $30. My GPS didn't get me right to their door, but it doesn't take a genius to look at an address number and drive a hundred feet til you see it. Don't let that deter you. Take a look at their client photos and you're going to want some Manic Panic style streaks instead of just a hair cut. It's just sooo tempting when you see their work. LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!

Meh. I moved to this area from Boston recently and would like to find a local place to get a…read morehaircut. (I still drive to Boston to get my hair colored, as I will not trust a new colorist easily, especially one in a small town.) I made an appointment here for a trim, walked in at my time and was not greeted by anyone for about 3 minutes. There were hairstylists in view and no one at the front desk. Finally a woman came over, confirmed my appointment and said my stylist would be with me in a few minutes. 5 minutes later I left, went to my car to get something to read and came back. I waited another 5 to 7 minutes. In the meantime, I am judging the salon based on the brand of products they have displayed; this typically speaks to level of training the stylists have, and of course they are going to recommend this products. They have Paul mitchell, which you can also buy at Procuts. Not really impressed, but I'm just here for a trim. The salon area looks clean, the hairdressers appear to have decent hair styles. However, the clientele can be heard cussing and gabbing loudly from the waiting area, which gave it more of a bar/nightlife vibe. One woman's husband is even seated in the salon area, participating in the boisterous conversation. I get up and approach one of the hair dressers closest to me, asking if they know if (whatever the stylists name was, I don't remember) was around? She is at the adjacent chair, within view of the waiting area- which means she knew I was waiting and yet couldn't take 30 seconds to come and say hey I'm sorry, I'm running late. She does a decent job at a trim, but I really didn't appreciate having to wait so long while not being acknowledged by her. If I am the paying client, and a new client, I would think you would really step it up with the customer service- at least acknowledge my presence. Save your money and go elsewhere- I seriously have had a comparable haircut with better customer service at Supercuts. I am still searching for a local place to get my hair trimmed... I've been in this area for 2 years. I would rather pay more money to be treated warmly, as if I matter and I'm not a disposable commodity like I felt I was treated here. Disappointed.

Being adverse to change I was so upset when my hairdresser moved. I have very thin boring hair and…read moreit's always tough to find someone who can make It fabulous. After some recommendations I ended up at Salon De Moda. And boy am I glad I did ! They are open late during the week and have Saturday appointments for those of us who have to work until five or later. My appointment was for two and I was greeted and seated right then. Why make an appointment if I have to wait ? No waiting here. The salon is super clean and very inviting. The workstations look like tool boxes and they have all kinds of neat decor. I was entertained just looking around. Onto the hair experience, I was taken care of by Tanya who is also the owner. What a lovely woman. She did a consultation first which and advised me on what to do to make My hair look full but not have to get it done all the time. I was there for an hour and a half in which my hair was cut and highlighted. This is an hour less Than I've spent at other salons. I was offered a drink which is nice when your just sitting around waiting for color to set. The other stylists are friendly also and every one that walked by said hello and chatted with me for a bit. What a great experience. I can't talk price since it differs for everyone depending on what you have done and kind of hair you have but I can tell you it was reasonable. I love my hair. I would highly recommend going there if your looking for a Hairdresser. Tanya was awesome and I will see her again but I'm sure the other stylist are just as great. Love love love my hair if I didn't say that before.

She really listened to what I was looking for and even…read morepulled up a bunch of images on Pinterest to make sure we were on the same page with what I was asking for. She ended up doing a lived in "foliage", with lowlights to create some depth, and tipped out ends for brightness. Lyss was lovely to chat with and just all around a five star experience. I loved how my hair looked at the end and have already recommended Lyss to multiple friends. Highly recommend checking out this salon and Lyss if you are looking for a new stylist.

(My experience in the past is that stylists would take what I asked for, and adjust it to more what they wanted to do.... Yeah, that doesn't happen here). Marissa really listens, follows through, and is sure to check in throughout to make sure you're happy. I've NEVER left that salon upset like I have other places.

It's only because I have a presentation I need to make online, and the last thing I wanted was my hair so frizzed out. After reading many reviews on Yelp, I called Brianna from Brianna Birt Hair Design, and she was able to get me in today on short notice for a shampoo and blow-dry. It was a very fair price and she was great!! Even though I fly home soon, at least I now know there's a good hair stylist nearby in Plainfield next time I visit. The salon was very clean and she's sweet and professional! The salon is in the same parking lot as La Cantina.

Then he proceeds to take out all these medications and take them while telling me what they're for (I don't care that you need Prozac!)

And when he's done I look NOTHING like the pic. He accentuated my natural curls which I didn't ask for (and didn't want) and cut my layers way too short. So yea. Never again.

This is my second review of BL beauty. I wrote a stellar review previously for Rachel. Apparently…read moreshe no longer works there, but if someone knows where she went please let me know because I'd follow her to whatever salon she went to. Please someone tell me where she went! I called and asked for an appointment with a Rachel and when they said she no longer worked there I booked with another stylist. I got Tara. I asked for only a little trim because I'm growing my hair out from a pixie and I SPECIFICALLY told her I did NOT want the layers on the left (fuller) side of my hair shorter than the right side. She started cutting and I mentioned she was cutting a lot off, she simply said it was dead and she had to so I let it go. I was sad but I let it go. I declined a blow dry and went home with wet hair. When my hair dried not only did I realize the inches she took off, but what did I discover?! The layers on the left side of my hair are WAY SHORTER than the right side! Also they flip out in a ridiculous way because she cut through a curl in a weird way. I look lopsided and ridiculous. I'm SO disappointed and furious.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place!! The hairdressers here are amazing!!…read more Rachel is the best. She is trendy with her own hair and has great ideas. The first time I came here I didn't know what to expect (i'd purchased a groupon to try this place out)... so glad I did!! Rachel took the time to listen to what I was wanting to accomplish and even pulled up some pictures for inspiration. I came back a second time... did not disappoint!! I not only got an amazing color & highlight done but also made an appointment for a return color & highlight... needless to say... I left this place feeling like I looked like one of those Pinterest Models and the prices are really good on all of their services.
