I had one of those days where I was like ""I need a haircut TODAY"" and being relatively new to Charlotte, I had nowhere to go. The last time I followed a friend's advice I had gotten a TOTAL hackjob, so I was wary. Very wary. This salon is down the street from me, and as I was cruising around looking for a place that ""caught me eye"", Orange Olive stood out. I was a walk-in, and I was welcomed warmly, not made to feel like an inconvenience. Jay did a grrreat job on my unruly mop, listening to my past haircut woes, and providing really practical and simple styling advice, showing me what type of brush to use and products too. The cool thing was there was no pushiness to buy their products - and I appreciated that. He was chatty, without being inane, and in moments of amiable silence I was checking out the cool art displays on the wall - this salon features the work of local artists, a different one every month or so. These photos were outstanding. I found the price very reasonable for a salon ($40) plus tip. Plus they bake their own cookies. Hello? Heaven? I'm totally going back.\r
:-)
Pros: smelled fabulous - totally peaceful vibe
