Sometimes I wait a long time to get a cut so I can save up $$$$ and treat myself. And it had been awhile since I saved up for a good cut. While visiting family in St. Louis, I decided to find a salon to tame my mangy locks. At Salon Dacota, I found the $$$$ range service at $$ prices, and I was super pleased. (Thanks, mom!)
First off, the very attractive and stylish woman at the front desk told me I could not schedule an appointment for the day, as they were booked and I was a walk in at 11am on a Friday morning. But wait! While I was waiting, there was cancelation with Terry, and I get an immediate appointment! And a very delicious cup of spicy herbal tea. It was meant to be.
Next I was treated to a special hand soak, gloves and an incredibly relaxing hair wash in a small room with night blue walls and Chinese lanterns. A relaxing look for a small space that I mentally made note to incorporate into my apartment.
My stylist, Terry, was gorgeous and proved to be an artist with hair. I am growing out my mine- and it grows very slowly- so I am always wanting the cut to be a good shaper with minimal length removed that will last me another 5 months. I am also a product snob but unfortunately have champagne taste with a cheap beer budget. But I like my products to be of superior, organic quality because these products are being absorbed into my scalp. Salon Dacota uses superior, high quality products- Eufora and Davines- which are out of my price range, but last fall I splurged on some Davines. These products last and my next spurlge will be on Eufora (or both, because I saved on my cut?)
Might just start getting my haircut every time I come back to The Lou on a family weekend. Thanks Terry, and Salon Dacota!
