I moved here 3 years ago from Tucson, AZ. I tried several salons in my area, and could not find anywhere I felt comfortable. A friend reccommended Hair Color Xperts at Birkdale, and although I live 45 minutes away from the salon, I made an appointment. I met Abbee there, and she is a hair stylist angel sent from heaven. She LISTENS! She is great at what she does... even when I was third trimester hugely pregnant, she was patient and offered suggestions when I couldn't figure out a style that would not make me look frumpy. The manager there will greet you when you walk in, and she has never failed to offer coffee or soda. It is a warm and friendly place where the stylists and clients chat together, comparing notes, lives, etc. I have ALWAYS had a pleasant experience, and I PASS about 20 salons just to get there. Also it is near a Starbucks, and that's a nice bonus.
Pros: Abbee in particular is great, friendly staff. Near Starbucks, & bookstore.
Cons: Toilet flushes twice, and I always worry someone will think I didn't wash my hands.
