A friend recently said she needed a change and was looking for a new hair dresser. I told her the best place she could go was the Mane Event. First of all, I told her, the owner is an artist with hair. She will figure out what cut and color is going to be good on you. Secondly, it's Aveda, so all the products are cruelty free and most of them smell divine. (Every now and then what I think is divine and what the noses at Aveda do differ). The products last forever. There is no tipping. For an extra $50 you can add on a massage or a facial to your hair service, and that's a real bargain. The staff are wonderful - cutting that fine line between being at your beck and call and being your best friend in the world. And all the other stylists are ALMOST as gifted as the owner, Pam. So you really can't go wrong. The atmosphere is relaxed, laid back, but not so Zen that you feel like you have to whisper. And that little drive - worth it, darling!
