I reserved the salon for my wedding last October for myself and my bridesmaids, mother, sister and…read moremother in-law. Only thing I'd say know exactly how many and what time but also expect to pay in two payments (not separate - it can get a little tricky to gather the ladies money but we made it work). Payment: Really understand the pricing, for us pricing changed from when we got the quote to when we booked. Chris was able to grant the initial quote cost for hair but makeup did increase slightly. The Vine asks for a certain percentage upfront for every person to reserve and the rest of the bill was due on the day (payment automatically added gratuity). It's important to reserve your date but also make sure you know the exact number of people at first payment as it will be much harder to add ladies later. Some ladies changed their mind last minute or didn't decide in time (luckily only one bridesmaid had to go elsewhere to get her hair done). Schedule: Chris scheduled time slots for each person to navigate when each person should arrive (which helped a lot since I had 11 people come in for hair and/or makeup) it would have been far more stressful (than it already was) if we didn't have a schedule. Accommodations: A separate room was provided for us to get ready and hangout at no addition cost and allowed us to have food and beverages. Additionally they allowed for ladies to do their own makeup (as long as the girls did it themselves). They cleaned up after our breakfast, which was icing on the cake when we were all leaving - again an accommodation that helped with the stress. Service: Each stylist (makeup and hair) were exceptional and made us feel absolutely welcome. They did a wonderful job on hair and makeup. When girls would ask for changes they went above and beyond to make it happen. I was also late because our breakfast order was delayed at pickup and the stylist did not waste time by starting on my bridesmaids. Salon: The salon and grounds were stunning in my photos!

Well, I should have listened to my intuition... I went shopping for a salon in the highland Park,…read moreHighwood area. I wasn't looking for anything fancy, just something that wasn't a chain. When I initially went in to blow by blow (what a stupid name btw), they're pricing seemed ridiculous, and they seemed pushy. It was 80.00 for a haircut and 80.00 for a color treatment. I decided to give them a chance any way because the woman making appointments was extremely kind and helpful. Color: I went in wanting something different for summer, but not crazy. The stylist had 0 creativity and 0 patience and pushed me to a color of her choosing -surprise surprise, it was my natural color, exactly. Also, she only dyed the top of my hair, then did something they call a shine treatment, which seemed like plain old conditioner. I told the stylist I expected a full color treatment, and wanted to make sure I'd have the same color root to tip. She said I was wrong and shouldn't question her professionalism. When they dried my hair, I showed her that the tips of my hair were definitely not the same color as my roots. Instead of fixing it, she argued with me for 5 minutes, then insisted that she knew what she was doing and my hair looked good to her. I didn't want to risk having my hair completely ruined by an angry stylist, so I didn't push any further. Haircut: I showed my stylist a picture of exactly what I wanted and told her exactly what I didn't want. . She again said she knew better than me and said that the picture of what I wanted was the style I didn't want. She dried my hair with no product, parted my hair differently than I do for the dry haircut, argues with me for every point from length to style, keeps me.away from the mirror until it's too late to tell her that everything is 100% wrong. Ugh, I want to cry. I've grown my hair out for 2 years only to have someone hack away at it. I can't even hide it in a ponytail. She knows I'm unhappy and sort of tries to appease me, so she gives me curls, which hide my bad haircut, and I walk out with exactly the wrong color and cut and am out 200.00 and 2 hours of my time. Tldr: unprofessional hair stylists don't listen and bully you into taking whatever they feel like giving you.

I brought my own extensions to be put in and they were placed horrendously. My curls were loose and disorganized. They tried charging me an additional $15 for an extended blowdry, but I was finished in under an hour. The stylist did end up removing this charge. I had to pin my hair back to blend my extensions and re-curl every piece of hair. I then felt a crunchy section of hair at the nape of my neck and I realized this was because my stylist didn't fully rinse my hair....such a terrible service and experience.
