I chose Patricia salon based on the recommendation of my friend about 6 years ago...that friend always seems to know the right people, the inner professionals, but in previous visits to some of her rec's I've had varying degrees of satisfaction. I'm not super young, skinny or hip (well, the hipness factor probably outweighs the others for me, luckily-I've got at least a trace of that), and frankly I was trepidations that I might get some less-than-cozy vibes at such a chic, celebrity-driven salon.
Not so. First, the space is gorgeous, but so pretty and relaxing just to hang in and when you're getting color here, you will be waiting around, so that's a huge plus. The stylists and receptionists have always been unfailingly gracious, sweet, attentive.
That's one of two things that have kept me coming back year after year. the other and the most important, naturally, is the high quality of the cuts and color I receive here. Every Single visit has resulted in many compliments. Add to that that the prices are in my opinion quite reasonable.
I do dread the drive across Hollywood to get there, but it's worth it in the end. I believe everyone they employ is superb; whichever is available is going to give you a cut or shade worth every penny. Go, be confident you'll look gorgeous and enjoy.
