I LOVED THIS PLACE!! I couldn't believe how nice everyone was, especially for a high-end salon. The desk staff were sweet and honestly seemed to care that I was there, offered me tea and a hand massage while I waited! My stylist was professional but fun-- she went into detail about what she was going to do with my hair, and helped me to decide what I really wanted. All the employees there seemed like they were having fun, like they loved their job, but remained on task (taking care of ME!). I don't like to talk much while I'm getting my hair done, and my stylist seemed to catch on to that and let me be. She was a darling gal from Nebraska-- I think her name was Jessica? The prices were really reasonable for the level of service and follow up that I received-- I'm from the DC area, and any woman in her right mind who takes good care of herself knows that you can't get this high quality Aveda treatment and not pay a lot. (Lets face it, if you want a $14 haircut, go to Supercuts, and get what you pay for!) When my hair service was finished, my stylist (tactfully) recommended a brow wax and tint to match my luscious new color, and the aesthetician got me right in! When I got back to DC, my girlfriends were jealous of the hot new cut and color and the fact that I paid so much less than I usually do! HA!
Keep up the good work, Mood Swingers..... You definitely sent my mood on an upward turn! BTW: Ever think of an East Coast franchise? :)
Pros: Great staff, awesome communication, Aveda!
Cons: Parking... but it IS downtown!!
