I am a Hairstylist myself, and although I work in the area, I like to visit other salons. I went to Jane on a referral from my yoga instructor at the Y in Ballantyne. I was skeptical about Modern Salon at first because I've heard that their color line isn't the greatest. I went to her for a hilite/lolite and the lolite is a red RED! Not only did it look great (not fake) from the get go, but I have never had a red that held this long...in my hair or my clients hair! I went in telling her it was up to her to do whatever she wanted. From the moment we met, I knew I met the stylist I have been looking for! She is sooooo friendly, attentive, conscientious and enthuiastic about hair! It was very refreshing to see all of those qualities in one stylist. Then to have great results on top of everything! I left it all in her hands (I also told her to cut whatever she thought I needed)and I have had more compliments on my hair since the first visit (I've been to her twice now) than ever in my career in the salon. The only downside is when I'm somewhere and someone asks where I get my hair done, I have to tell them to go to her and not me!!!! ;-) I need to have her teach me how to give an awesome scalp massage and shampoo! It's sooo relaxing and calming! I would spend $$$ just to go there and have her wash my hair!!! The front desk is also very well run.(This is the Ballantyle location-Jane works at several locations)The receptionists actually look up from their computer screens and make eye contact while they talk to you!! Very well run salon! Very educated and professional atmosphere, but not stuffy! Price point is high, but you get what you pay for when it comes to hair!
