Nico cut and colored my hair beautifully. I have had very long hair for years and have had it colored a few times before. My hair is naturally medium to dark brown neutral. I had a vague idea that I wanted to go a little lighter, much shorter, and have a classic or romantic-looking cut.
Nico described to me what proposed to do, in detail, and also pointed out a color mistake that a previous salon had made about six months ago. Color choice, application, and cut were all perfect.
I am not a fan of highlights, especially on me; I dislike the stripey look and think they give a harsh and kitschy feel to one's style. Leda, though, gave me these precise highlights made up of individual strands of hair here and there. She took her time and was great conversation, so the three or so hours went by quickly. I am thrilled with the results; it's like getting a present every time I look in the mirror or go out. Also, she seemed to use the right tone for my skin color. I always worry that my hair will look too coppery, even when neutral. I have checked out my hair in all lighting situations now. There is just enough warm in the hair for it to be vibrant, and it is not coppery. There seem to be cool and mostly neutral tones, all are shiny and pretty and completely natural-looking. The cut is lots and lots of fun, neither boring nor tendentiously coiffed.
Patricia hair extensions salon has no silly pretensions, just real professionalism. It is basically expensive but not overly so. It is well worth it. They are upfront and conscientious about the cost as well. I definitely recommend this salon and specifically Nico, Leda to anyone wanting a color, natural-looking highlights, or a cut.
