Mandy has been my stylist for over 8 years. I am very particular about great stylists and tried several in the Uptown area and surrounding Concord locations before finding Mandy. She has always been helpful in style choices and ideas for me. I have developed a friendship with her through the years and who doesn't want free therapy during their salon visit! HA! I love the Aveda products and advice that Mandy provides. Mandy is positive, funny, truthful and not full of drama as I've witnessed in others. There is not a time left from Calista that I didn't smile or need to give her a hug for a great salon visit. Go see rockin' Mandy! She's got skills!
Calista has moved locations but I do not feel like the salon service or atmosphere has failed because of this logistical change. Some complaints are expected as people don't like change but a good stylist is hard to find along with great client service. The color of the walls has changed which I can't understand how that is a complaint. The AC also worked perfectly when I was there during my last several visits. The parking can be tricky to maneuver when it is crowded but that has nothing to do with the salon itself.
Sherry is the salon manager. She never has missed calling me to remind me of an upcoming visit even though she schedules appointments for a year for me. Sherry is also great at working to change a time slot if needed. She is always very sweet at greeting and departures from my visit and even if it's a quick drop-in for products. I dislike going to local businesses and they do not acknowledge that you are even in the building. I have never been treated that way by Sherry.
Thanks for the great job at Calista ladies and I look forward to 80 more years!
