Ok, so I had been coloring my own hair for ages (black) and ended up with really bad color build up and very damaged hair. I decided I would stop coloring my hair and let it grow out. I naturally have dark, ashy brown hair... so when it grew out I had two toned hair. I waited about a year til I finally decided enough was enough and I needed to have my hair professionally ""fixed""... I walked into the salon and the first thing I noticed was that it was very clean, all of the staff members looked happy, and more importantly they all looked good!
I was greeted warmly by Olga, who offered me water, coffee, tea...etc. I declined and sat comfortably on the couch while Chris finished up with the girl before me. Watching him finish with her only got me more excited about getting my hair done. As soon as he was done he greeted me by name, and with a great big hug... which was actually really nice and not creepy in any way shape or form, I felt like I had known him forever as soon as he hugged me.
I sat down and we spoke about what I wanted, I showed him a picture and he immediately began calculating. (You could see the gears turning in his head). As he was doing a ""soap cap"" he took the time to explain what exactly was going on with my hair, and what he was doing... and why. (That was to break up the old color from the bottoms of my hair).. after that was done I got washed, then he applied the color (765 colortouch) (my hair is naturally a 7) (totally just repeating what he said...lol) Anyways... after that was all said and done and I could see the color I couldn't have been happier... or so I thought.
Chris started cutting my hair and it was so obvious that he absolutely loves what he does.... as I watched him working on the cut he was so deep in thought, and was paying such close attention to my hair it was honestly fascinating. It was like watching an artist work on a masterpiece.
I was already getting the feeling that I had found my new hair stylist... but when the cut was done my hair looked so incredibly beautiful that I finalized my decision that no one else will ever touch my hair again.
Chris is just AMAZING, there is no other way to put it... his personality and his skill make him the diamond in the rough that Newton has needed for a long time!
I also spoke with Igor (the owner) a bit, and he was equally as pleasant and kind... all in all I would give this salon more stars if I could because five just isn't enough!
I 100% wholeheartedly recommend this salon!
