My first visit today! I got a women's long haircut with SERENA. My first cut in a year-and-a-half and I am really happy I went. The salon is in a gray cottage (has been painted since the photo on Yelp), with a lot of parking spots nearby. It's a nice salon with beautiful views.. and horses right outside!
Serena made me feel really comfortable. She was easygoing but definitely professional and knowledgeable. The shampoo/conditioner felt wonderful. Getting back to her chair our convo led to her background, and from what I gathered, her education was from a Paul Mitchell school on Oahu. I respect the Paul Mitchell standards and continuing education program, and I felt it reflected on my experience with Serena. The products she uses are varied actually. Definitely not just P.M, but they are all of high quality, and I love that. She uses what she has found works, regardless of brand (from what I can tell). Also, she asked a lot of questions but it was natural and at the right time, mixing in with the rest of the fun, light convo we had. I got 6 inches cut from my length with layering and face framing and a blowout at the end.
The owner came into the salon in the middle of my visit and let Serena know that I had left a message (he didn't actually know that I was the person that had left the VM), and said hello to me. It was a really chill, relaxing environment. Being in a cottage, I didn't know what to expect, but it's a nice clean salon inside.
I haven't felt this good in a while. The result was beautiful. I'm a happy camper.
I'm excited to go back again. I was in good hands. Highly recommend. Serena has a lot of experience in a lot of areas (from what I asked her) and I would feel comfortable recommending her to any of my friends and family.
I'm going to include some photos. Sorry i wasn't able to capture the haircut very well. It's been a few hours of me having it up in a bun and it's a bit windy.
Pardon any errors-- I have had a cocktail - but I wanted to get this review out. read more
