I wouldn't trust anybody but Bonnie and Zaina Salon with my hair. I originally found Bonnie on…read moreYelp. I've been there and done it all before we met-- having gone gray in high school, I did box dye, highlights, balayage, a perm, straighteners, and have worn it short, longer, curly, pin straight, and everything in between-- and never have I felt so listened to and cared for by my stylist. New to the area, I'd tried at least three salons with most disastrous and overly priced results. Then I came here.
For about two years, I've made appointments with Bonnie every two months. I always leave with healthy-looking hair that looks even better than I'd imagined. Of course, I have worked with dozens of stylists in the past, but none of them have been as creative, honest, and fair as Bonnie. Most recently, we've been doing Keratin treatments; Bonnie has helped to transform my dry, broken hair (bad perm...) into long, shiny waves with subtle hints of color that elicit compliments on a daily basis. I also appreciate that she's straightforward with me about what my hair needs. She doesn't push unnecessary additional services on me, and because she is so warm and hilarious (a bonus), Zaina has become one of my favorite places to spend a Saturday.
I view appointments with Bonnie as an investment in myself that's priceless. She remembers everything about my hair journey (what I like and dislike, what we did to it last time, etc.) and works with me to create a style that's affordable, maintainable, beautiful, and "me." I can't recommend her eye for color highly enough. I also have her do my eyebrows, and this is the best they've ever looked.
Yes, Bonnie is excellent at what she does, and yes, I'm satisfied with the end result, but I return to Bonnie because she does exactly what a stylist is supposed to: she makes the Pinterest pictures I show her possible, and she's proven she's someone I can trust with my hair :)
