I left a message asking to reschedule and cancel my appointment I had made the day prior as I'm a…read morecollege student with a rapidly changing schedule. The message went unreturned for hours and when I finally received a call back, I was met with the attitude of, "Well I wouldn't have scheduled if I knew I couldn't make it." Extremely unprofessional and rude, especially when you don't know what is going on in a customer's life. Now I'm out money without a service because of a lack of communication. If you only allow 24 hours notice without charge, don't allow next-day appointments. UPDATE: my instagram comment regarding the matter has been deleted and I have seen 4 of the stylists on their own accounts look at my Instagram stories.

I visited Kirstin with a very specific haircut while also wanted to go completely silver. She got…read moremy hair the color I wanted in just two sessions from a dark brown (natural hair that was not virgin) and also absolutely killed my haircut every time! There's not a request she can't fulfill. She will find a way to make your hair perfect and looking amazing. Not only that, my hair was always so healthy and soft even after all the bleach. She never disappoints. She's also just such a fun and bright person. I loved talking with her, but I'm pretty introverted and she was totally okay with how quiet I was. The salon itself is very clean and cute! The front desk people were always nice and it seemed the entire staff was on good terms with each other. Conversations at the salon were one on one or an entire salon convo, so never a dull moment. I loved it here and I'm so sad I had to move away! I would recommend Kirstin and this salon a billion times over!

My hair grows in a certain way that makes it hard for most barbers to cut my hair in the way that I like. Metropole does not have that problem, (especially Kelly.) Because they do both hair styling as well as hair cuts, they understand the different ways hair can be cut. I get *exactly* the kind of crisp look I like, with the hair styled that accomodates the way my hair grows. I live in North Carolina, but always schedule an appointment when I come back for a visit!

Great haircuts and nice people as well…read more They do walk-ins and you can also call and schedule an appointment. I use Kelly and when she's not arround Donna but any of the ladies are great! They do men and women so don't be frightened away by the line that it's an all woman barbershop. Their prices also seem to be in line with what I hear you get for haircuts in Peoria but to be honest I haven't been to any other barbershop in over 20 years! As for the person mentioning Jo Marie no longer being there... sadly she passed away and that's the reason she's not there.

Sherri Strandberg recently opened Strand Studio in Bloomington, IL, and it's amazing! My entire…read moreexperience--from booking online, to calling Sherri for last-minute directions when my gps failed me, to the actual haircut and color--was positive. The moment you walk into the salon, you'll be blown away. It's so pretty! It's the first sign that Sherri is a true artist and does everything with great care and attention to detail. She's also a fantastic conversationalist. Her laid-back personality (and a complimentary beverage--I chose one of those cute, squat cans of soda!) made my time at Strand Studio very enjoyable. As for the haircut and color, Sherri provided a thorough consultation before she began, and she reviewed the photos I had brought in. I wasn't even sure exactly what I wanted, but she helped me to figure that out. She was not pushy at all; she was very focused on what I was comfortable with and what would work best for me. It's been years since I've had any color in my hair, so I was apprehensive about highlights looking too fake or stripey. Sherri was totally receptive to my concern. In the end, I could not be happier with the subtle balayage highlights that she created. I asked for "chic," "fun," and "natural," and she delivered! :) The haircut itself is also superb. Sherri cut my below-the-shoulder hair into a sophisticated, below-the-chin bob. She worked diligently on getting the shape and texture just right. I'm telling you, she's an artist! I definitely found my new hair stylist. :)

I absolutely loved this place and 100% this is my go to for whenever I need a wax or skincare. My facial and their products absolutely saved my skin, I was horribly broken out with a ton of inflammation. I started using their in house cleanser and the BPO for overnight care and it's been my saving grace. This probably sounds like a fake review () but seriously I love this place!

I think they lost everything out for prices but it's hard to know which lash apt to book when your a beginner and don't know anything about lashes! She did a great job and they lasted about a week. I'm happy with the service, and they mailed a handwritten thank you which was nice also.
