I've been to several hair salons in San Antonio, mainly different Aveda salons. I've just had "ok" experiences. The problem with "ok" is when you?re paying a lot to have your hair done; you want to walk out of a salon feeling fresh and beautiful. That is not too much to ask for. My husband started going to SLS and used Gavin. He thought he did an incredible job. He's recommended me going to Gavin for a while now. I've never had a male do highlights or haircutting before and what does my husband really know about hair anyway? So I never took his recommendation. BIG MISTAKE. I finally got fed up with the high price of "ok" haircuts and highlights that I decided to give Gavin a chance. He is so attentive to his craft. He began by taking five minutes to just look at my hair to figure out the layering and texture so that he could assess what would be the best approach. I also showed him pictures of what I like and don't like. He confidently knew exactly what to do with my hair. There were moments I felt like he was Mr. Miyagi and I was his bonsai tree. His highlights were brilliant and his haircut was amazing. All I can say is I walked out feeling hip, fresh, and beautiful. Some people say SLS is on the expensive side. It was less expensive than any Aveda salon I had been to in San Antonio and how can anyone put a price on perfection?
