A quick search led me to goldplaited and their male grooming package, which seemed exactly like what I needed. I was looking for something really subtle and natural--just a more polished version of myself--and they nailed it. They took the time to understand the look I was going for and didn't rush the process at all. They also checked in along the way to make sure everything felt right, which I appreciated. Nothing felt overdone, but it made a noticeable difference once I got in front of the camera. I felt a lot more confident going into the shoot, and the photos turned out better than I expected. Super professional, easy to work with, and you can tell they care about getting it right. Really glad I found them.

My last visit and again today I've incurred the same issue .

I decided to book Blowout Junkie for my bridal party hair. I initially emailed them per their…read morewebsite request to get something started but I also just booked 7 appointments for the morning of my wedding through the phone just in case. It was good I did that because no one responded to my email and I was on a crunch with my wedding 2 weeks away. I probably called an additional 2 times before the wedding day to ensure my appointments were still on the calendar and to confirm the artists. They were able to have 3 stylists so the day started at 7:45AM until 10:00AM. Blowouts include a wash for $55 and Updos don't include a wash and are $95. Everyone was on time which was great. We had 2 blowouts and 5 updos for the party. I think everyone's hair looked great. There was one auntie that was not happy about her updo (but she didn't voice it) so I don't blame the hair stylist on that and believe that the stylist would have fixed it had she said anything. It's important to note (with any stylist) to bring lots of examples of what you want so the stylist knows or to bring photos of ideas and they can choose what might look best for you. Overall, I had a good experience with Blowout Junkie!

It's not a big space at all, but it wasn't very clear where to go, and there was no one at the front desk when I approached. The space was clean and bright but a bit worn down and tired. I also don't like that they try to upsell you about add-ons. They already do this when you book! Once is enough...! The woman who washed my hair and styled it/blow dried it was friendly and kind. She took her time, which is not itself bad, but it might be surprising if you book a 45 minute appointment and are in any sort of rush. I think $64 is a bit steep, especially since there are quality blowout spots that aren't that much, even today!

It looks like the salon was evenly renovated, and entering from the hotel lobby isn't the great challenge it's made out to be. KJ, my stylist, was a dream!

My hair is perfectly blown out and exactly what I was looking for.

The service was so poorly done that I had to completely take my hair down and redo it myself the same day, which was stressful and time-consuming. The salon itself felt disorganized and messy, which didn't inspire confidence. There was only one person working at the time (the stylist) and no other customers present, which made it uncomfortable to raise concerns in the moment. The updo took over an hour and given how far off it was from my inspiration photos and with my event coming up quickly (it was on a Friday, and I had worked in the morning), I didn't want to sit there any longer. I also realized early on the result wouldn't turn out as expected when I asked for an updo and the stylist never used a curling iron (for the updo), despite the inspiration clearly showing defined curls. I would not recommend this salon.

The tan itself looks GREAT -- so natural, not orange at all and is holding up really well (I am about 6 days post tan and it isn't patchy or coming off anywhere!). The rapid tan was quick and easy to remove and the smell was super minimal (we all know the fake tan smell lol). I will definitely be back for another one once this one finally fades. Finally, I felt like the pricing was super fair for the quality of work that was done/tan that was given and how easy the whole process was. It was right in line with what I used to pay in DC before I moved, so no surprises there either.

He is worth the drive. Atmosphere- The salon is very clean, welcoming, comfortable and spacious. Everyone is friendly and you'll always see someone cleaning and helping each other out. Yes they do speak another language but that's because that is their first language and it's easier for them to communicate to each other. It does not bother me at all. Also, they have a great play list lol Parking- It worried me the first time because it's the city but there's free garage parking and on the side of the street as well. I've always been able to park on the side of the street. Price- Fair pricing considering the quality and time spent. I'm usually there 8-9 hours. Hair stylist- Leo is amazing at what he does. He doesn't rush anything. He takes his time, gives you his honest professional advice on what color you want to achieve while keeping the integrity of your hair. I love how Leo styles my hair. It always feels silky smooth and soft. He can cut hair and gave me the cutest angle bob. So don't hesitate to get haircuts from him either. I always get compliments on my hair and recommended him to my co worker and now she goes to him too! Her hair looks amazing and healthy. She is happy with her results and said she will continue to see him. The hair results don't lie! Oh and whatever hair products they use to wash your hair with smells amazing and I keep forgetting to ask what it is!
