I have finally found my home away from home for hair. I currently live in Excelsior but own a home and have lived and worked in Los Angeles for the last 15 years. I worked in Film and T.V. as a Producer and an Assistant Director so I had access to the best Hair colorists and stylists available to humankind. I mention this because I want to stress that I know hair and I know good color. My last colorist was friend Kim Vo who was a celebrity hair stylist often seen on E T.V. After 3 or 4 very bad color Jobs here in the Minneapolis area I decided to try something close to Excelsior. I came in to Lili and I felt that the atmosphere looked good. Still I was skeptical. Then I met William and he sat me down and talked about how I wanted the color to be. He literally spent at least 15 minutes just talking before he mixed any color. Then he tinted my roots and foiled my full head of hair. His color was perfect...real genius. This man has a gift and he works hard at making every client happy. He also controls who the staff are that work with him and they seem to be very competent as well. I had a blow -out by one of his stylists that was as good as any i have had at any Beverly Hills Salon. I could tell that this girl although young was really well trained and talented. I think it is so important to have both. First they have to have the vision then they have to have the training to carry it out. It seems that William makes sure his staff is like him... fabulous.
Also, I wanted to observe that the only negative comments I have read about this salon are about something unrelated to hair. Personally i could care less how the receptionist is or that the blow-outs are not complimentary. As long as i come out looking like a movie star for a price that is much less then many places in Minneapolis or Los Angeles who cares?
