I wish they carried some of the online brands like Outre, Freetress, Mo-Town Tress, or Naturli, but they do actually have a good selection of items. The workers here are not pushy and I appreciate that. At some stores like this, they follow you around or are aggressive with their suggestions. Here, they let you walk around freely and unbothered, but will offer assistance when you need it. They have a decent makeup selection. I get my LA Girl concealers from here. I love LA Girl products because they are brown girl friendly. They also carry NYX products so if Ulta doesn't have what I need, I try here and they is usually will have for a comparable price. Overall, I recommend their store.

They made sure I was aware of all of the services they offered without being pushy about any of them and they made sure up front that I knew what my final price would be for the services I chose. Sometimes being a guy in a salon can be a little off putting but I felt well taken care of from the moment I walked in. The shampoo and neck massage was a nice way to start off and the precision to detail by Brooke was excellent. She showed me the products at the end and helped me find the ones I wanted and explained well the differences between them I definitely look forward to coming back!

I didn't know exactly what I was looking for, but she was so sweet and helpful. She walked me through everything I needed to dye my hair pink and my sister's hair 'dirty mermaid' color. She was able to give me all the information I needed to know to successfully do the coloring. She was so informative. I never caught her name, but I told her I wasn't having the best day and she made sure to make my time there enjoyable. I went in about an hour prior to close and she greeted me so nicely and we just talked. I was really grateful that she was able to help me. I wish I got her name. She was such an angel. The store was very clean and I was able to get in and out rather quickly, with product and everything I needed to know.

Went to a beauty store with my parents and son too. My mom as usual with her tone of voice being…read morelouder and louder lol.... it draws attention to her even more when it's in Spanish (Puertorrican trait I suppose)! The employee (older white blonde female) says to me " it's that papaaa out there with your baby". "He is so handsome and his features are going to be so beautiful does he look like his father?" In my mind I wanted to reply differently. But I say instead to her "he is handsome and beautiful like my other kids and The Puertorrican in him makes him even more gorgeous!" The woman then says really I am German. " well my son is awesome because he also German and Polish but he is just handsome all rolled into one thing my son"! So we just go up to counter to pay and then mom approached the counter but with her loud voice talking fast because she was excited with something she was going to buy. The lady again says "WHAT LANGUAGE ARE YOU SPEAKING. YOU KNOW YOU SHOULD SPEAK ENGLISH..." and hen smirks. I say HELL NO AND SHE IS SPEAKING SPANISH and!!!!! The woman says with a nervous laugh " well I am here and she should speak English". I said to her with a sarcastic laugh " well she wasn't speaking to you no matter what language she chooses to speak to me let me be clear it wasn't a conversation including you! And she finished the transaction and i just left counting to ten in my mind!!!! If she would had given me any more of this ignorance I would have recorded the rest just in case I go to jail!!!! Many years I have gone here and not received the best help in advice product search or any form of interest in helping out. So I go there get what I want and mind my business. But really this was beyond stupid

Airbrush tans are where it's at, Studio A! One of my fellow Yelpies told me about Studio A and how…read moreamazing their airbrush tans were. Both she and another one of our friends got it done for their wedding and they looked fabulous. I knew I had to book an appointment for my next event! I made a reservation online and it was extremely easy. Studio A is kind of hard to find if you've never been. Definitely look it up online before heading that way with your Google Maps. I got lost! It's nestled in Cahaba Heights across the street from Starbucks and Dairy Queen. You also need to remember to wear dark and loose fitting clothing. It's a small salon but is tidy and cute! There's pictures of Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe everywhere. Everyone I came in contact with there was very nice. When I got my airbrush tan done, you could tell they took their time with extreme precision. They assessed my body and where to spray - whether it be more or less. I think my whole session was about 10-15 minutes. It was dry nearly immediately. They even walked me to the front door, as it was raining earlier on in the day, to make sure my feet and legs wouldn't get wet. The tan was dark, but not over powering. There was orangey/oompa-loompa coloring either. My tan lasted around 10 days. Amazing! Studio A has a new forever client in me! Love, love, love it!

It was easy to find and right near downtown Homewood. Desiree did my hair, she suggested a cut that would be good for my face shape. She spent a lot of time cutting and shaping my hair. I am very pleased with the end result. The color and cut both look great and I have been able to style it to look the way it did in the salon. It was very nice to get my hair washed in a chair that reclined and I was able to put my feet up. No neck strain! The chair had a massager and I got a nice massage of my head as well.

I will follow her to the ends of the earth…read more No, really, I will - and I have. She is creative. She is witty. She is charming. She is fun. She is honest. She is my hair stylist. And, she is amazing at hiding my true hair color (shhhhh) She is so fabulous that some very special people (my 2 favorite cousins) actually come "all the way over from Atlanta" to get their hair done :-) SHE'S. THAT. GOOD. Let me first start by saying that when I moved here 16 years ago, I did NOT have high hopes of finding a stylist and I would be making that every-six-week trip back to Atlanta to have my hair done. For gawd's sake, I was moving to Birmingham ... How on earth would I ever find a stylist as good as mine at Jamison Shaw? However, after a year and a half, it seemed that I was destined to stay in this town, and I needed to quell my frequent trips to the ATL, or I'd be soon driving a SmartCar instead of my beloved German automobile. Try as I did to fight that ... It was time. Of course, with my (ahem - snotty) "I moved HERE from ATLANTA" attitude, I wanted the BEST hair stylist this town had to offer, and while I didn't really need it so much back then, I wanted a good colorist (back then I chose to color my hair not out of necessity, as I do now). I lived in Homewood and there was a charming little salon on the corner. It looked cool and it was an Aveda Salon. I asked for a consultation with the best stylist they had. A week later I had my frist appointment with Tori Watkins-Cantavespre. And, thus starts our relationship. Over the years, Tori has moved salons a few times, but I have followed her everywhere she goes (she just can't shake me!) - And for good reason. When I've had a need for "up-hair" - Tori at my rescue ... When I was bored with my "do", having NO idea what to do with it - Tori at my rescue ... When I wanted to lop it all off - Tori at my rescue ... When I wanted it to be long, thick and beautiful - Tori at my rescue & with complete honesty, told me "you want that, I can give you extensions - otherwise, I'm cutting it. NOW." HA! But that's what you get when you get Tori - Complete, and utterly unabashed honesty - I think a few more people could use this type of honesty in a hair colorist / stylist. Tori is, by far, the best colorist around. She's been touted as the best in the SE, even! And I agree, whole-heartedly with this assessment. She is innovative and clever, always on the lookout for new things to try on certain clients who would allow it (I would be one of those. I have never trusted my head to anyone but Tori and she has never failed me.) Tori's got clients of all ages and is able to expertly accomodate her mature clients as well as the youngest, hippest of teens, men and women alike - and she makes each one of them feel as if they are her ONLY client - special. She's a pretty darned good make up artist as well! This review is more about my stylist than the salon she's chosen to do business in at this point. But I'll give the salon the stage for a moment. Blonde is located in a small house, on a side street off the main drag in Homewood. The proprietor, Desiree, is quite possibly the sweetest gal ever, and she has created a warm, comfortable, relaxed environment for her staff and clients. While some might find it a bit "kitschy" with its glittered walls, it's a fun place! So, if you're looking for a new colorist and stylist 'cause your current one just isn't doing the trick, give Tori a call. I know it's a hard step to take - breaking up with your colorist / stylist is like a true divorce - you never know the backlash of that kind of action - but you will not be disappointed. I promise!
