my hair is typically in a ponytail - why? because its gone grey (i'm under 30), it grows like a weed and with the grey my once soft, straight hair became coarse, kinky and a pain in my you-know-what. i started going to SALON TWO NINE after it changed ownership a couple of years ago. I get my roots touched up every 3 weeks or less and would never stay at a salon i didn't like considering the expense my hair has become. last fall the salon began offering a ""KERATIN HAIR TREATMENT"" that i wanted to try. don't let the price intimidate you - its beyond worth it (and the process lasted 6 months+ which comes out to about $50 a month)!!! my hair is straight, soft and, as my sister remarked, ""your high school hair"" - aka when it still had its original color. i dont have to use any product, i dont currently know where my blow dryer is (and havent since completing the treatment) and yet my hair is straight, has body, shine and actually does what i want it to. it is a must for anyone who feels their hair has developed a mind of its own.
since last fall i only pull my hair back when its windy. i should also mention that my hair reaches well past the middle of my back and is quite thick. if it could tame my mane then anyone can.
i also take advantage of their skin care services and LOVE the recent switch to DERMALOGICA products. my skin can be almost as unruly as my hair, but the team at SALON TWO NINE has managed to work magic there as well. plus the recent remodel is beautiful.
one more MUST for SUMMER - AXXIUM polish on the toes. I used to get a pedicure every two weeks (although i could have gone every week if my wallet allowed), but now get one every 4-6 weeks. toe nail polish that doesn't chip and dries before the chair massage runs out?!?! no more messing up my polish before walking out the door. well worth the price and actually figured to be cheaper than my old routine given the longer time period between visits.
plus - oberweis dairy is just up the street so i can reward myself with a milkshake after all their hard work!
a great place with a wonderful staff, reasonable prices, all the latest treatments and on-line booking (great for anyone who, like myself, has a job with unconventional hours). try it out - you wont be disappointed!!!
