Yesterday I came in for a hair color appointment at 1:30. My hair was too light blonde and I…read morewanted to go softer with a little more depth, like the photo I liked of my hair 2 years ago, and like the Pinterest board I showed her. I knew I was in trouble when she put the base color in. It was BRIGHT red. She kept saying that's why she doesn't like customers to see when they apply color, because it's a process with the blending and I get that, but that bright, un-natural, Ronald McDonald red was way off of what I was wanting. So, then she said she'd tone it down with some brown. It was just way too dark. She said she thought it looked good and that if I didn't like it, she's pop some highlights in it another time. Honestly, I don't know how I could have communicated better. I showed her the pinterest board. I showed her an older photo of me I liked. I told her I didn't want anything drastic. And that's what I wound up with....7 hours and $665 later!!! $150 of that was for a VERY light trim afterwards. Another part of that was a de-mineralization process. She also CHARGED me for THE COLOR REVISION when I DIDN'T LIKE the BRIGHT RED/BURGUNDY color she chose after I EXPLICITLY told her and showed her what I wanted. That, and she was juggling several clients at once. I get it that hair dressers do that, but this seemed excessive. She offered more than once to continue to work on the color in the future, but at this point my trust is gone. So, I will not be going back there. I had a long cry last night and my husband did his best to console me. He didn't like what she did either (which makes it worse). Fortunately, another colorist at a different salon has graciously offered to re-do my hair color tomorrow (At full price, of course.) Otherwise I would not go out in public again until this situation is resolved. It makes me cry to look at it!!!! Update: It's taken another stylist two salon visits and 7 hours to undo what happend to me at this salon. It's cost me as much as I spend a year on my hair, to undo what happened.

Love this salon! Great place to go!!! Best in Birmingham !! Love the stylist and everything they do!read more

I had a wonderful experience at Awesome Nails. I didn't have an appointment and walked in mid-day…read moreon a Friday for a pedicure. I was immediately seated and offered a beverage. The lady who performed my pedicure was so kind and attentive. From the minute I sat down, she was focused on me and didn't seem rushed. Her work was extremely clean--one of the best gel pedicures I've had. They also offer a paraffin wax pedicure, which I'd never experienced and decided to try out. It felt wonderful. I probably wouldn't get it every time I get a pedicure, but it would be a nice treat every once in a while. Their location is convenient, although the shopping center they're in is back off the road a smidge and the shop is tucked in the corner. But they're worth finding! I will definitely be back.

I would HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone in the area! My nail tech was awesome as well and so thorough!

I came here on a Groupon. New to the area, I was looking for a place to get a good cut and color…read more The shop is in an old house. Very cute with ample parking. It was easy to find and right near downtown Homewood. Desiree did my hair, she suggested a cut that would be good for my face shape. She spent a lot of time cutting and shaping my hair. I am very pleased with the end result. The color and cut both look great and I have been able to style it to look the way it did in the salon. It was very nice to get my hair washed in a chair that reclined and I was able to put my feet up. No neck strain! The chair had a massager and I got a nice massage of my head as well.

I will follow her to the ends of the earth…read more No, really, I will - and I have. She is creative. She is witty. She is charming. She is fun. She is honest. She is my hair stylist. And, she is amazing at hiding my true hair color (shhhhh) She is so fabulous that some very special people (my 2 favorite cousins) actually come "all the way over from Atlanta" to get their hair done :-) SHE'S. THAT. GOOD. Let me first start by saying that when I moved here 16 years ago, I did NOT have high hopes of finding a stylist and I would be making that every-six-week trip back to Atlanta to have my hair done. For gawd's sake, I was moving to Birmingham ... How on earth would I ever find a stylist as good as mine at Jamison Shaw? However, after a year and a half, it seemed that I was destined to stay in this town, and I needed to quell my frequent trips to the ATL, or I'd be soon driving a SmartCar instead of my beloved German automobile. Try as I did to fight that ... It was time. Of course, with my (ahem - snotty) "I moved HERE from ATLANTA" attitude, I wanted the BEST hair stylist this town had to offer, and while I didn't really need it so much back then, I wanted a good colorist (back then I chose to color my hair not out of necessity, as I do now). I lived in Homewood and there was a charming little salon on the corner. It looked cool and it was an Aveda Salon. I asked for a consultation with the best stylist they had. A week later I had my frist appointment with Tori Watkins-Cantavespre. And, thus starts our relationship. Over the years, Tori has moved salons a few times, but I have followed her everywhere she goes (she just can't shake me!) - And for good reason. When I've had a need for "up-hair" - Tori at my rescue ... When I was bored with my "do", having NO idea what to do with it - Tori at my rescue ... When I wanted to lop it all off - Tori at my rescue ... When I wanted it to be long, thick and beautiful - Tori at my rescue & with complete honesty, told me "you want that, I can give you extensions - otherwise, I'm cutting it. NOW." HA! But that's what you get when you get Tori - Complete, and utterly unabashed honesty - I think a few more people could use this type of honesty in a hair colorist / stylist. Tori is, by far, the best colorist around. She's been touted as the best in the SE, even! And I agree, whole-heartedly with this assessment. She is innovative and clever, always on the lookout for new things to try on certain clients who would allow it (I would be one of those. I have never trusted my head to anyone but Tori and she has never failed me.) Tori's got clients of all ages and is able to expertly accomodate her mature clients as well as the youngest, hippest of teens, men and women alike - and she makes each one of them feel as if they are her ONLY client - special. She's a pretty darned good make up artist as well! This review is more about my stylist than the salon she's chosen to do business in at this point. But I'll give the salon the stage for a moment. Blonde is located in a small house, on a side street off the main drag in Homewood. The proprietor, Desiree, is quite possibly the sweetest gal ever, and she has created a warm, comfortable, relaxed environment for her staff and clients. While some might find it a bit "kitschy" with its glittered walls, it's a fun place! So, if you're looking for a new colorist and stylist 'cause your current one just isn't doing the trick, give Tori a call. I know it's a hard step to take - breaking up with your colorist / stylist is like a true divorce - you never know the backlash of that kind of action - but you will not be disappointed. I promise!

My mom gets her hair highlighted here and it always looks good- natural but noticeable, if that makes sense. There are always fresh flowers and delicious candles in the fabulously decorated three chair salon. They even have iPads for customers to use- pretty nice! I also happen to appreciate their "leave the kids at home" policy- getting my hair done is a luxury for me, as it is for many women, and I don't want to hear a screaming child (or two) while I'm trying to catch up with Christopher and soak in the atmosphere. Essentially, the service is top-notch, and the Urban Style stylists can make you as conservative or avant-garde as you are willing to go. The chairs are comfortable, as are the recliners that ease you into an excellent shampoo session before your cut. They use mostly Moroccan Oil products (and have for years- before they became trendy!) and also do Brazilian blowouts, glazes, hair coloring and highlights, basically the works. Call ahead for an appointment as they are quite popular- but I promise it is more than worth the wait. ps- I have naturally curly, red hair, which Christopher handles with ease (I like to wear it straightened most of the time so he always makes sure to give me a style that will work if my hair is straightened, dried naturally (curly), or wavy.
