When I made my appointment, I only had the information from this site and the printable coupon in hand. We were greeted after a moment by a really nice young lady, who stuck me as pretty new to the whole ""salon"" atmosphere. I had made an appointment for both myself and my [teenage] daughter, and I went first. My stylist was a gentleman named Senj, who was really friendly, but very quiet. I wasn't able to describe the cut I wanted very well, and he did give me a very precise version of what I tried to explain. It's a bit shorter than I care for, but it's entirely my fault for being so vague. My daughter went next, and they chatted about what she wanted. She asked for purple highlights, but the settled on a red/light blonde combination that ended up looking AMAZING on my daughter. He said with her skin & eyes it was what he thought would be most flattering. It did take quite a while - we were there 4.5 hours all together - but the cut and color she received was well worth it! She looks stunning, and I am happy with my cut, in that it's well-done, and hey, hair grows, right? I will probably go back - even though they are opening a salon closer to my home, I really liked Senj, and will make the drive from SouthEnd to Gastonia to be his client.
Pros: Very skilled stylist
Cons: Very little ""atmosphere"" for a salon/pretty generic setting
