So, I love Eric and this new (for me) salon…read more I was looking for a new stylist closer to home, and had tried a different stylist (not Eric!). Let us just say I received a very unflattering cut, and couldn't even figure out what went wrong. I just knew every morning, I would try to make it presentable, struggle with flat irons, curling irons, round brushes and blow dryers just to have it poof out at odd angles and look frizzy and unhealthy. I was so frustrated, so I once again turned to yelp, and discovered all the rave reviews for Eric and booked an appointment online. Wow...what a difference! His salon is clean, well-designed, and has that high-end look. Eric himself is stylish and friendly. I tried to explain that the haircut I had just gotten was wrong, but I had trouble articulating what was wrong, or what I needed. Never fear, Eric totally seemed to know what was wrong and what was needed to make my hair beautiful again. He gave me a precision, fantastic cut, that has movement that I haven't had in years. I consider him a miracle worker. I have not been as happy and satisfied with a stylist in many, many years. I have had many, many compliments on my new haircut, and even referred one of my co-workers. Thank you Eric!

I saw Jessica for color today. I wanted to color the gray in my hair. There wasn't too much gray…read morebut I figured it would be nice for the new year. Jessica helped me choose a very natural black brown instead of the dark black that I was leaning towards. I was pleased that the black brown was so natural on me and it feels nice starting the new year with a more vibrant hair color. This salon always plays pleasant music and offers tea or cold drinks. It's a cozy salon and I love that their clientele is extremely diverse. I started coming here many years ago and I couldn't really get away for long but hopefully, I will be staying with Jessica for the coming years for more color and cuts. Jessica is a sweet person with a kind smile. That definitely makes this salon an even better place. The only thing I would change are the chairs/wash basins they use to wash hair, it would be more comfortable if they could update those because it's a bit uncomfortable.

If you're looking for a hairstylist who takes the time to gets you, check out Sara at Grove Salon!…read moreShe may be newer to the game, but don't let that fool you--Sara has talent and a natural instinct for hair. I've been toying with the idea of getting a balayage or baby lights forever, and I finally decided to take the plunge. Sara took the time to really listen to what I wanted, asked all the right questions, and eased my concerns about how the color would grow out. I didn't want any harsh lines or brassy tones, and Sara nailed it. She recommended a gorgeous balayage with a cool toner, and let me tell you--it's perfection. My hair feels healthier than ever, and the color is better than I could have hoped. Sara has this calm, laid-back vibe that made the whole experience feel like hanging out with a friend. She took the time to understand exactly what I was after, brought me tea, and was super fun to chat with. Bonus points for giving me a blow dry that stayed smooth and frizz-free--even though my hair has a mind of its own and loves to get fluffy! If you want a stylist who's skilled, fun, and has a fresh approach, Sara is your girl. Run, don't walk, to Grove Salon!

It was my first time coming to this salon. I called ahead of time for a walk-in the day of. Demi…read morewas able to squeeze me into a 45 minute appointment. I asked for acrylic dip removal and a gel manicure + regular varnish pedicure. She was SO gentle with the pedicure! I was extremely relieved and impressed when I saw how meticulous she was when cleaning and trimming my toe nails. I don't have crazy hang nails but I've been experiencing discomfort while walking from previous pedicures. The other times, the nail tech would be aggressive when digging into the nail beds and pumicing my feet. Demi was very gentle while pumicing and gave me very clean french tip. It's been a few weeks now and I definitely feel better walking! My gel manicure was very simple due to the time constraint. Demi did her best to remove as much as the acrylic dip powder while reshaping my natural nail. The full set came out pretty but I did noticed a few of my nails veer to the left or right instead of them being straight. It's a small oversight but it is something I can't unsee. (see attached pictures)

Camilla requested that I send her a photo of what her hair looks like now and what the desired look was. Once she reviewed, she was able to fit my daughter in quickly. We were in awe with what a amazing job Camilla did on my daughters hair. She really took to time to get the desired look and didn't rush through it. Once she was done with the highlights, she applied toner, blow dried and straighten her hair. I can honestly say, I have never seen my daughter as pleased after leaving a salon as she did today. She ever referred for Camilla as a G and Fire, (all good things!) Camilla has great prices, her shop is in a good location with easy to find street parking and she really takes the time to give you what you are looking for. We will keep coming back to her.
