I wanted to find a new place so after reading the Yelp reviews and others I took a chance. I'm SO glad I did. I called and was lucky to get a last minute appointment. I was greeted on the way in by Claire, a smiling, hip, attractive young lady with beautiful hair. On the way to shampoo, I passed Bart (owner) cutting someone's hair, who also made a point to give a cheery hello. He, too, was also well groomed. (I think that says something when the staff is ""well kept"")
Claire sat with me before shampooing to discuss what I wanted to have done. Although I brought a photo, there were little things about the hairstyle I wanted tweaked. She listened intently, asked questions to make sure we were on the same page and offered suggestions. Not only did she make it a point to ask what I liked, she wanted to make sure she was clear on what I didn't like. How refreshing!
Claire offered a robe (smock), noting that my sweater may catch the little hairs and that perhaps I'd be more comfortable (very thoughtful). The entire place was very clean; including the restroom, area where they keep the robes and the waiting area.
Around half-way through my hairstyle I see that Bart was done with the woman who he'd been in the process of cutting when I arrived. She looked fantastic.
I came in with a boring haircut - I left with a hairstyle that turned out to be EXACTLY what I asked for. It's also cut so well that I hardly have to do anything with it to make it fall the way it's supposed to. I really can't say enough about the whole experience.
BTW-They don't take plastic.
