Let me just start by saying that it took me a while to finally find a place I trusted for my hair b/c I'm what you can call a salon virgin. I've never been in a ""real salon"" before other than the corner ones that claim to be a salon. My hair was VERY LONG (thigh length almost to my knees) and I was very scared of letting anyone cut my hair b/c of some cuts/trims that weren't so good in the past. It took me about 2 mths before I finally settled on a place. It was worth the wait. I called this location after having no luck with the location in Gastonia (very rude attitudes over the phone, never returned my phone call) and am so glad it happened that way! Even though it was New Years Eve I made my appt on the same day!! She scheduled me with Amber which I was nervous about considering she was a level 1 stylist. I was so nervous about the whole thing that I almost turned around and changed my mind several times during the drive...lol. I was shaking when I walked in..terrible, I know!! When I got there Amber was very friendly and greeted me at the door and asked if I wanted anything to drink (wine, beer, sweet tea, or water). She was also very sweet to my girls which is a big deal b/c I thought that since it was a kindof an upscale place, they would be very picky about kids, but not at all! She offered to have them come back and sit with us while she was working with me. Nice touch!! She shampooed my hair and gave me a scalp massage which I never had done before in a salon b/c my hair was too long and thick and no one wanted to shampoo it. I loved it!! I'm spoiled now! Then she sat me at the chair and started her majic. I got my hair cut to my waist and she put some layers in and frame my face with some layers as well which was kind of nerve wrecking since it seemed that more and more was being cut off. She styled it afterwards, again I never had that done and she made sure I left happy!! I have no complaints about this place at all. Amber was wonderful and she did a fantastic job on my hair. I may be going back for some highlights (never had this done before either). I'll have to work my way up little bly little! I'm so glad I found this place and will always come back! I've even referred my family and friends and will be taking my daughters in for their hair as well. If you decide to go there tell them April Oxendine referred you!! Definately consider using Amber as she is great!!
Pros: friendly, great price, very helpful
Cons: none at this location so far!
