If I had only one hair left on my head, I would go to Blades feeling certain that I would come out looking like a princess. The entire staff - from stylists to students - is intimately involved in making clients feel pampered and cared for. I consider the hair stylists, particularly Jay, nothing short of gifted professionally, but it is even more important to mention how warm and welcoming they are to all clients, Jay and his "people" opened the salon to my daughter and her bridesmaids on a beautiful summer Sunday and made everyone feel that they had no desire to be anywhere else. I had used another stylist for 20 years, and was afraid to change for fear of having someone butcher my already less than perfect hair. When I finally worked up the courage to visit Jay at Blades four years ago, I got not only the best haircut of my life, but also the most relaxing and rewarding salon visit. It's no accident that the decor is Victorian, because the people at Blades treat their customers like royalty. Cancel your appointments anywhere else and try Blades for color, cuts, makeup, skin care and hair enhancement. After years of feeling like a follicular failure, I now consider myself a triumph of the tresses.
Pros: Creative and talented stylists, warm, welcoming ambience, total professionalism
