I?ve never written a review on anything before but felt it necessary to express my appreciation towards such an accommodating 2 hours of getting my hair cut and colored in Hermosa Beach at the Tropical Waters spa & salon. I live in Santa Monica but have a lot of friends that live in the south bay. They are always talking about how awesome this salon is which made me curious to see how a simple men?s haircut could be that much better than my regular shop in Santa Monica.
I was lucky enough to get a same day appointment which happened to be with Nora who is a master stylist and the owner of the salon. As soon as I walked in to the salon I was greeted by what seemed to be every stylist in the room. I could sense the not so typical salon vibe of stylists who all seemed to get along which made for a comfortable atmosphere and a great first impression. Nora had greeted me as if I was a VIP client and immediately offered me a glass of champagne. How cool is that? Seriously! Almost like she knew I had just finished from a strenuous day at the office and needed to take the edge off. After a pre-washing of the hair and empty glass of wine it was time to discuss my hair cut. Unlike the routine and boring specifications I usually demand with every hair cut, I asked Nora?s opinion of what would look good. She suggested a completely different hair style than the usual boring trim that I get time after time. Thinning, texturing, and mild highlights. I felt like grabbing a dictionary really quick so I could pretend to know what she was suggesting.
Anyway, to make a long story short, my hair cut looks very stylish and I?ve been receiving many wonderful compliments. I figure writing this review is the least I could do for such an unexpected pleasurable experience at a beauty salon. You should all check this salon out. Great location and it actually wasn?t that expensive compared to the Santa Monica salons. See you soon Nora!
