I had been traveling a bit and visiting various other salons around the city. All advised that I needed a cut. I had long fine curly hair and usually a cut meant that someone would simply cut if all off. On my first visit to Free Spirit Salon while I was getting a shampoo and style with another stylist ( who was also wonderful), I notice a stylist on my left that appeared to be working on a masterpiece...in a world all of his own. He was cutting a woman's hair but it was so much more than that. I detected that he was a true artist and perfectionist of his profession. I asked about him as I was intrigued and found out he was the Artistic Director of the Salon, Adrian. After watching intently, I knew this was the person I would trust to cut and give me a ""look"". I was not disappointed. He spent at least 45 minutes cutting my hair very precisely. It seemed every strand he cut had a specific purpose. I stood up, sat down, turned upside down all in silence as he was creating his masterpiece. I was afraid I might be left with no hair but in the end I had a beautiful long cut. My husband's ( of 30 years ) first comment when he saw me was, ""that's the best haircut you have ever had"". Enough said. A month later he changed my color. This was a great experience too. He did not darken my hair but made it richer and deeper. When I left my hair looked like a hair color swatch. Adrian takes special time with each client making them feel very special. He styles my hair as if I am about to have a photo shoot after each appointment. What a lucky find for me. I love Adrian!! Forgot to mention that you get Ritz Carlton service too!
