I started going to Dabbles after I had an at-home-hair-coloring catastrophe. I got in that same day, and several stylists gathered 'round to determine the best course of action for accidentally orange hair. My stylist did a wonderful job, and I (and my friends now) have been going to her ever since. I agree that she actually listens to what I want and gives me advice. As for the payment options ... it would seem that once they run the card, the sale is final so no tip can be added. This is the case with lots of businesses. I mean, it isn't a restaurant! Actually, I wrote a check once and added the tip in on that. Another time, I just came back with the cash. The minor inconvenience of having to remember to bring enough cash for a tip really doesn't matter, because the service is wonderful (they usually run on time and often offer you something to drink while you wait), the stylists are good at what they do, and the atmosphere is fun. I highly recommend Dabbles!
