Today was my third visit to Antoine's and I finally found a salon after trying places all over LA. Landy colored my roots (very stubborn grey) for the second time and once again a great job with no banding! She cut my hair during the first visit, where she actually took the time to really consult with me, look at my hair, give her opinion and come up with a solid plan. She remembered, had my color ready, commented on how quickly my bangs were growing (which she promptly trimmed once my hair was dry) and really took care of me. From sitting down and being offered tea (Aveda blend of course), coffee or a soda or cucumber infused water (very posh for a smaller salon!). It's just the litte things that are really telling. I mentioned I was going on a business trip and she quietly place some travel shampoo and conditioner by my handbag. I also found out that one of the other stylists does threading! My second trip was to defuzz the eyebrows. Once I found that she was doing a great job, I included the cheeks and upper lip (since it can really SMART if someone isn't experienced). The prices are reasonable (important for those with high maintence color, like trying to keep the white stripe to a minimum. If they can tackle Emmy Lou Harris grey, then they can handle anything!
