I moved here from the NYC area back in June 2011 and was dreading finding a new place for my hair. I tried another salon in Brighton in Nov. and told the stylist EXACTLY how I wanted my highlights done (with 40 volume peroxide) and she proceeded to do what SHE wanted and used 30 volume plus a toner. End result was that yes, it looked ""natural""; however, it also looked like nothing was done to my hair. I was extremely unhappy and vowed never to return there. My hair looked ""dull"" for the entire holiday season.
Needless to say, I have been reticent to explore yet another new place again, but I could not plan a visit back to my previous stylist back home, so I visited the Michael Spitale salon prior to making an appointment. I wanted to be assured that whoever worked on my hair would do what I wanted.
I was greeted by a lovely receptionist who offered me refreshments while I waited for her to bring the colorist up to meet me. I met with Brittany, told her my story and she assured me that she was a hair colour specialist and completely understood my desire. She then introduced me to her brother, Michael, who would be cutting my hair. He reviewed the style I was seeking and I felt very comfortable with his expertise. (I had been spoiled by using celebrity stylist Max Pinnell in NYC for a number of years)
Bottom line is this...I made my appointment for the following week and I HAVE FOUND A NEW HOME FOR MY HAIR!!!!! Brittany made my highlights SPECTACULAR and my hair looks shiny and healthy. Michael is an ARTIST with the scissors and this is hands-down one of the finest cuts I've had in years! He also is a master with the blow dryer and gave me a stunning style that was so beautiful, my boyfriend couldn't stop telling me how great I looked!
If I could give you 10 stars, I would. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!! I will definitely be back.
