5/23/15 Just got my color corrected at Kenneth's. Finally…read moregot what I wanted. Just wish I had gone there first and not lost all the extra money (and compromised the health of my hair). ***************************************************************** 4 stars for customer service, but about 2 for results. The results were very pretty, and would be perfect for a LOT of people. But it was NOT the ombre/balayage I asked to have done. If you google Balayage you will see a mass of examples of this incredibly popular technique where certain strands are brush painted with a subtly lighter tone than your true root color. It is supposed to mimic when a child goes out into the sun for a summer and has pretty highlights. I thought I would be the perfect candidate because I haven't had color on my hair in 5 years and I already had natural highlights that this technique could play off. In all the examples I found, NO foils were used, just brush painting and possibly saran wrap to separate any layers for thicker hair. I contacted several salons and asked who could do a balayage with a bit of ombre at the bottom. Not all stylist can do balayage/ombre. I was so excited to get a last minute appointment at totally platinum because everywhere else was booking out weeks for this technique. The stylist at TP gave me her personal cell # so i could send a pic of what i wanted, which I loved. I sent her the pic below labeled "what I asked for". She immediately responded with "I can do that". When I came to my appointment I showed her several other pictures of what I wanted for the balayage/ombre. She said she could do it. Basically I wanted something very natural looking. SUBTLE. When she started using foils I was skeptical because everything I read about a balayage said the reason it is so natural looking is because it's painted on and using saran wrap instead of foils (foils over-develop the hair or something) but I was already in the chair and she said "there are lots of ways of doing a "balayage"/"ombre"... so I tried not to worry too much. I could also feel her doing the foils really high onto my crown, which you also DON'T DO color on the crown with a balayage or ombre. You wouldn't naturally have that much highlighting in your crown if you went out into the sun. It was 9pm when she finished and the color seemed incredibly bright/yellow so I just went home and decided to wash it and style it my regular way the next day to see how it goes... But I still couldn't get past it the next day. I had tiger stripes when I tried to pull it back into a ponytail. And the color was far from subtle, and far from what my ash-blonde natural highlights would look like. I called and spoke to the new manager, Jen. She was great and said I could stop by right away. She looked it over and said a toner might get it a bit closer to what I wanted by taking down the bright yellow, but she seemed to imply that nothing could be done to get me to the effect I really wanted now that all those highlights were in there. So she and the stylist gave me a free toner. She even taught me how to style my natural waves which I thought was very nice of her. Because I was so specific in the treatment I wanted, I should have waited and gone to a place that specializes in it. But the stylist should not have assured me she could do a balayage when all I got was a plain old 90's weaved highlight. Actually it's not even a 90's weaved highlight because she didn't do it all the way to my scalp. And it's not a balayage because there was spiradic-to-heavy highlighting in my crown. So it's some weird hybrid. I think the most upsetting is the color. It's way too bleached out to look natural, and the toner helped but I still have chunky stripes in places. My husband says it looks awesome and it's close (after the toner) to the picture I used as an example. But my friends who are in the know, can tell this is in NO WAY a balayage. Most likely I will be making an expensive color correction trip to another salon to get the effect I wanted. Just stinks because I have already lost most of my natural hair color and natural highlighting. I will have regrowth now which is the whole point of getting a balayage/ombre, so that your regrowth adds to the effect instead of making you run to the salon every 6 weeks. In the end, I bet LOTS of people will like the pic below and want something similar to this because regular weave/highlighting is still incredibly popular and pretty. I have even gotten compliments on it already (from the older crowd)... but it's not what I wanted.

They have ladies in there who offer pedicures, manicures, facials, hair, etc. Definitely a staple in the downtown Grove City area!

But I am the type of gal who will spend a pretty penny to ensure things are done the way I want them to be done as opposed to doing them myself. Okay...I'm lazy. Yep, that's it, the word is lazy. I likely could figure out how to trim my hair myself. There have to be thousands of YouTube tutorials out there. However, in the words of Donna Meagle and Tom Haverford, "treat yo self!". There are a couple things that I would prefer a professional to take care of, and hair treatment and styling is one of them. I noted to a colleague at my old job that I've had trouble finding stylists that specialize in long hair, and she recommended I take a visit to Columbus. That was 5 years ago. I've not gone anywhere since. I remember having my consultation vaguely, only because I thought they were trying to feed me a bunch of BS regarding the caretaking and maintenance of my hair. I was wrong. Everything they've ever told me about my hair, from switching hair ties and brushes to using castor oil on my roots have been spot on. I started off only visiting for 45 minute "dustings" (trims), and worked my way to bi-annual 6 hour treatments that leave my hair feeling silky and smooth. (Do I sound like a shampoo commercial yet?) I'm even starting to do keratin treatments with them, which I haven't done in over 10 years because of long-term concerns. However, I trust Jamie & Dave to take excellent care of my hair. I've been told I'm a tad high-maintenance, but when it comes to locks like mine (33 inches last time it was measured!), I can't trust just anyone to take care of it. It may be a drive, and I'll readily admit I'm lazy, but there's no other salon I'd let touch my hair but Rapunzel's.

The long-hair paradox: How will I ever grow my hair out if I have to keep cutting it?…read more The solution: Don't cut it, dust it! It'd been a long time since I got a haircut that I'd catch myself admiring weeks after leaving the hands of a stylist. Ever since my one and only visit to Rapunzel's thusfar, I've been all, "Hey babay" in the mirror admiring my own locks. Surprising, too, since a "dusting" is actually only trimming about 1/4 inch of hair off so there wasn't all that much gone. Even though they're only snipping a minimal amount of hair, dustings still take about an hour because they twist your hair strand by strand on a seek-and-destroy for damaged ends. For my first time there, they asked me to come in a half hour early to have a consultation about my hair care, how long I'm trying to grow my hair out to be, and a few things I should consider to help better my mane. Did you know that see-through shampoos act more like stripping agents and can be very harmful to color-treated hair? Or that you should brush your hair as soon as you wake up to stimulate the follicles, even before you get in the shower? I feel like I'm bursting with trivia now.... They also measured my hair so we can track how quickly it grows, which I thought was cool. (I have over 2 feet of hair now! when the heck did that happen??) You might never have noticed this place before, but Rapunzel's has been on South High helping ladies care for their long locks since 1994. They've developed an entire philosophy around what it takes to properly manicure hair to best achieve growth, and are very good at what they do. Ladies of Columbus: I never want to hear you crying over a stylist who "accidentally" trimmed 3 inches off instead of 1 ever again. Now you know better.
