Amanda and her team did my hair and my bridesmaids' hair for my wedding, and I am so glad they did!…read moreFirst, Amanda's prices are very fair, beyond fair. She doesn't upcharge when the word "bridal" is involved like many places do. Second, the initial consult, where she and I met, talked, and tried out a few different updos was great - it was fun, she did multiple looks and REALLY listened to me to make sure that I was happy. The day of the wedding, she and her team were efficient, super nice and friendly and made everyone's hair look lovely! They even did a last minute change for one of my bridesmaids who decided she'd be happier with her hair down - and charged her a lower price since blowouts are cheaper than updos. Can't recommend them enough!

**Late Review** I got my hair done this past December with…read moreKaitlyn. She seemed nice but after I left the salon I was left wondering why she did such a poor job on me, I've seen photos of her work and of the wonderful colors she has done as being the color specialist of the shop. Since December, I've still been a bit disturbed as to why she let me leave the salon with hair that I disliked more than when I came (I actually wish I had my normal hair back, as it was much better before I sat down with her) I had red hair dye all over my forehead.. my ears.. the back of my neck.. my cheeks. I sat in my car and cried like a little girl because why would you do that.... I wished I didn't go in there and just kept my hair how it was. The color itself was not at all what I had wanted, after showing photos, etc. I understand not getting the EXACT shade of course, but this was just incomparable.. after asking how I'd like it styled and saying I would like just a regular blowout, I was disappointed with how she managed to do it.. I've seen blowouts on her portfolio.. I even do my own blowouts.. she could've handed me the styling tools and I could have done it myself if she didn't plan on doing a good job on me.. she left my hair super frizzy, and nowhere near a blowout at all. It was the day before Christmas, even after getting such disappointing service, I still tipped a lot. The only reason I chose this shop is because Tara's family is neighbors with my mother and I wanted to go to a familiar business. I wish the experience could've been better. In the photo, it is my hair just the day before seeing Kaitlyn, and then immediately after. It looks horrible. I only post this review now, because I think about this every day and wonder why she did such a poor job on me ? I am not a resident of the area anymore i live in NC for military and easily could've just waited to go back home after the holidays to get my hair how I wanted it. Her portfolio all had great styles.. that's the only reason I booked with her. But not on me unfortunately.

She was really nice even though I chatted her ear off (I talk a lot when I'm nervous) and the salon overall was really nice too. It was a nice, calm experienced compared to larger salons with 10 hair dryers going at once or places with kids running around everywhere. The prices were also very reasonable. I'll definitely go back.

To whom it may concern (curly haired people might be most interested):…read more I moved to this area 20 years ago. For most of my adult life, I kept a very long hair style mostly due to my natural curl (need to have length for weight for "control" and "stretch" of the curl). It is not easy to find people who know how to cut naturally, quite curly, hair; so when a mistake is made, it is one that must be "lived with" longer than anyone wants to. This is a critical factor. Seeing a nurse for a doctor treating a dear senior friend I'm primary caregiver for, I could see instantly the attention to detail, the talent and creativity, and SKILL on one head of hair. I had to know who did it! It wasn't a style right for me, but it was perfect for this young woman. I have naturally curly but very fine hair and am in my mid-fifties now...so, gray is coming in - some little "shocks" and peppering definitely there, even if hidden under dark brown longer covering the silver bits. My hair was down to my waist when wet before I had enough and wacked it off a few years ago on my own in an emotional need for FREEDOM from the work and time involved in managing all that. Somewhat isolated, and super busy with caregiving, I just cut it myself (with the help in the back of my senior male care-recipient) for years. It was time for balance, evening out, true management and real care for ME. Meeting Crystal, and then THERESA whom Crystal referred me to, was a God-send. Anyone can chop and pop a hat on a head, right? I have been a professional hair stylist and a Hollywood and International level professional as a makeup artist to stars, celebrities, models and actors on every level for 25+ years. Living in this small town and rural area for 20 yrs with a change of lifestyle for my health and more took me far away from access to the "best of the best." Finally, I think I've found a place here where I am listened to, my own ideas and thoughts are respected, and a true collaboration can occur... and it did...and at a fair and "happy" price to all. Theresa accomplished exactly what was needed and wanted. Low maintenance, quick "management" (to almost none), and an ENHANCEMENT of my own hair's natural qualities and assets with a graceful and realistic, practical and healthy focus on such an incidental as "hair" should be to life. I told Theresa I wanted the ability to vary the style according to my mood, situation, the weather and more...all while aging gracefully and avoiding artificial coloring, etc. Well, SHE DID IT. I cannot be happier. I've hired and fired some of the "best hair people" internationally, and so far, with my first experience with Sublime and Theresa there (referred by Crystal, whom I'm so grateful to), I feel I have a safe place to go to for my naturally curly, graying (now) short hair. Hair should not be a "stress" for ANYONE. If it is, the right cut and care has not been applied. My life is complex, and I need a cut and ability to style that will rise to each and every occasion so that I can remain unselfcounscious and stay in true balance. This gives me freedom to focus on what most needs to be focused on, and without having to "check my look in the mirror," which to me equates to vanity - and that is something I abhore. Personal expression should be about an enhancement and honoring of one's natural expressions and gifts - not about artificial, fake and over-done, high-management "styling." Color for FUN, if you will, but not to "cover up" who one is. That's just my sincere feeling. Everyday when I wake up for another day, I'm not readying myself for a presentation or performance - I'm simply presenting an honest expression of who I am for what is needed, and "preening" is NOT MY STYLE. Thank you, Sublime, and Theresa in particular. What will I ever do without you from here on out? LOL! I can write, design, draw it, paint and sculpt, etc., but I have always directed my staffs to impement my directions most specifically where cutting and coloring were concerned (NOT my specialty, as has been design). I could not find people outside of Hollywood or NYC that can meet my expectations and needs, really. Today, I feel differently in Corning, NY with SUBLIME. If you want talent, creativity and and open mind from those who will LISTEN to your needs and listen to and work WITH you to achieve this, Sublime is the place to go. My bet - you will be glad you did. Love, Life and Peace in ALL we do - Wren

I used to go to Sublime some years back when I had a specific stylist. She was great, loved what…read moreshe did with my hair. After she moved out of state, however, I didn't have a great experience. First, it was almost impossible to get an appointment because no one ever answered the phone (it was definitely during business hours). Even though I left messages with my number to call me back I never got a response. One time, when I *did* get through to someone, they told me they didn't know how to schedule my appointment because they weren't the stylist. WTF? I managed to get one last appointment in because I had a gift card and wanted to use it up. The lady I saw was fine but I'll never go back there again because of the previous crap.
