After many years with the same hairstylist, due to her schedule changes, I recently made the decision to search for a new one. Driving to Franklin for my appointments was making for some mighty long days, and Saturdays are coveted and sometimes unpredictable. So I knew I wanted to find someone in the Boro if nothing else.
I learned about Studio L through a friend of mine...but we weren't friends yet. In fact, it was the first time I had ever met her and instead of saying the usual "Hi." or "Nice to meet you..." I just excitedly exclaimed, "Oh. My. GOSH! I love your hair!", then asked, "Where do you go?"
Who knew almost a year later I'd need a new stylist?
Bam.
When I called Leanne (owner of Studio L), we discussed all the details about my "move", my hair, and set up an appointment for the following month.
I learned that while it's not posted, she does have rather flexible hours. So when I said I'd prefer weeknight evening appointments over Saturdays, she said she is happy to work with me on scheduling.
The studio is in a beautiful space just off of the Sqaure. There are two street parking spots directly in front of the salon with more street parking nearby.
I maintain my hair color through root touch-ups about every 4-5 weeks. Since Salon L is a Paul Mitchell salon, and previous color applications were from Davines, I wasn't sure how it'd go with color matching. I'm happy to report it appears to be flawless thus far.
Leanne finished my first appointment by styling my hair with a curling wand manufactured by Paul Mitchell. It gave my strands a nice beach wave. She even took the time to give me some instruction on how to use any wand to create the look, then allowed me to try it myself with her there to instruct/assist as needed. It was very helpful and much appreciated. (I'm a tomboy at heart, so I'm a little late to the hair and makeup party in a woman's life.)
I feel as though the service and the pricing I received today were fair, and I look forward to going back for my next appointment. read more
