I cannot express how ecstatically happy I am that I found this place on yelp.... I was so fed up with my hair & ending up with the same disappointment in a haircut for the past few years (cutting it too short, then spending 6 months growing it back out to a length I like, then needing a hair cut desperately) that I was tempted to go to that school salon on new dorp lane just because no matter how bad they'd have messed it up, it would've been cheap & manageable into a ponytail at least.
Well Thank whatever higher power that Literally last minute I thought to myself - let me call that place I have bookmarked & see if they have anything open for today.... & they did, I was seen not even an hour later. I have more than a hunch I wouldn't be having a good day had I gone with my alternate plan.
So, Walking into the salon, it's GORGEOUS! The decor is seriously so tasteful. Not tacky & over glitzy, but definitely glam, but tasteful with earthy relaxing tones & textures.
Second thing I notice - beautiful hair.... Not one person (customer nor employee) has bad hair - that's a great sign! I immediately felt the anxiety I had going to get my hair cut in a new place, melt away. Whew!
I had an appointment with Lisa - she was so pleasant, polite, & seemed effortlessly confident with my hair. Also a good sign, most people panic when they see thick, naturally wavy hair... That was also waist length. I didn't even wash it that day, straighten it, I'm lucky I brushed it I've been so sick of my hair. I sat down, took the clip out & let down my mess of hair, she looked at it, we discussed what I wanted, showed a couple photos off Pinterest, & went for my shampoo. She didn't even have any hesitation about the photos I showed her, o was shocked & relived at the same time. Yay, this is good!
The shampoo was wonderful, not too hot or cold, no pulling or clunking my head in the sink scrubbing or soap or water on my face. 2 thumbs up for that! Not always a relaxing experience, this was good! No complaints.
Back to the chair, Lisa combed through my hair & started her magic. As soon as she started cutting, I could see that it was exactly what I wanted, she was so graceful with my massive amount of long hair & didn't seem to struggle with it at all. My hair looked & felt a ton better before she even started blow drying, so much lighter! Once she started drying, I was impressed - most people wind up with a lot of frizz when starting to dry my hair, it was an amazing blow out - it looks sleek & shiny as if I flat ironed it, curled & voluminous as if I used hot rollers & curled it to perfection...... With just a blow dryer & 1 round brush. I'd totally come back just for a blow out even!
So pleased with my hair, I didn't lose much length, as I wanted, but added a ton of layers & my hair is so gorgeous & bouncy & perfect. This hair cut seriously made my entire year so far - no joke! I feel like a whole new person finally after being a first time mom & slacking on my appearance for a year (maybe 2?). My hair looks amazing. I wish I took a before & after photo because it's amazing that 'This' even came from what I had. I went from looking like the cowardly lion to a Victoria's Secret model (hair wise, lol). I went out to lunch with my husband & son after & had 2 compliments at lunch! Super awesome - I can't even stop touching my hair, it's so light & silky. I love it. I will definitely be back - I'm sooo happy!!
Thanks so much Zoe Salon & Lisa!!! read more
