I have long hair and am always worried about a new stylist cutting too much off - Lauran did a wonderful job of leaving my length while adding in face framing layers. She also provided very helpful suggestions! Additionally, the studio was very warm and welcoming. Prices were fantastic - $32 for a top notch haircut! I will definitely be back.

My first experience at Kristin's was thanks to a groupon purchased by my wonderful fiance (then,…read moreboyfriend) for a massage, facial, and manicure. The time came where the groupon had nearly expired -- given that I am a terrible procrastinator -- and Kristin worked VERY hard with me to find a time where I could come in. All of the services that I received were exceptional, and although I haven't had my hair done by Kristin yet, she is a kind and welcoming individual who always seems glad to see me. Since that first time, I have been in every couple of months for one person in particular: Amy, the aesthetician of my dreams. Amy is my guru, my hero, my Yoda. When I first came in, I had (with all of the best of intentions) completely destroyed my skin. I had been using various products I knew very little about in an attempt to treat my acne which had actually happened as a result of the astringent products I was using making my face extremely sensitive! To hide this from others I was piling foundation and concealer onto my face, which prevented any kind of healing. Amy knew instantly what was wrong and had all sorts of recommendations to make. Every day my skin looks better, and each time I go to Kristin's her smile shows me how drastic the change has been. In fact, with the exception of a tinted SPF I have been using, I have almost completely ceased to use make-up. I don't need it! My skin is incredible! Although everyone at Kristin's will make your day and make you feel fabulous, I cannot recommend Amy's services highly enough. My sister (also an aesthetician) had been telling me for months to find a professional and get real advice about my skin, and her advice led me to this person who made a HUGE difference in my self-image and confidence. Go to Kristin's! As soon and as often as possible!!! You will not regret this decision!

I visited Bloom for the first time to have my hair and makeup done prior to a friend's wedding. I…read morehad just had my hair and make up done a few weeks prior at a different salon -- with great results -- but that other salon was very pricy. Bloom was a little cheaper and the reviews, although few in number, were glowing, so I decided to give this new-to-me place a try My makeup artist (Sarah) was young (like college-age), but was very friendly. When she asked if I had a certain style I wanted, I told her that she should do what she felt would look best. I had to have my makeup appointment before my hair appointment due to their schedule limitations, but she washed my hair first (after I mentioned my concern) so that the makeup wouldn't be messed up. The makeup appointment took surprisingly long. I would say a full 40-45 minutes, but I was not in much of a rush so I didn't mind. I brought my own makeup with me because I have certain products that I know work well for my problem areas. I told the makeup artist about my product, but made clear that she could use her products if she thought they'd do the trick. She told me she had the right kind of product to cover my under eye circles, so I told her to use what she had. I did note that she did not curl my eye lashes, which disappointed me somewhat since I told her I did not want the false eyelash application (extra $10). After a long while, I get to check myself out in the mirror (the mirror behind the makeup counter, no individual hand-held mirror). I could still see my under eye circles a little (it got me wishing that I insisted she use my coverup) but over all, the makeup looked pretty nice and fairly natural. I was surprised how light the foundation looked because it felt like she was putting on a bajillion layers. I appreciated not looking clown-like, but I did want to look more even-toned than it appeared. When I returned home and could look up close at a mirror, I felt a pang of disappointment. The makeup she used under my eyes had settled, resulting in noticeable creases under my eyes. It did not look like any concealer was applied to the bottom third of my face (tip of nose, mouth area, chin, jaw) and imperfections were visible. Finally, several of my eyelashes were stuck together, which I attribute to not being separated when the lashes were wet from the mascara. After I spent some time cleaning up under my eyes, evening out the foundation, and curling and separating my eyelashes, I felt the makeup looked nice and I then felt satisfied. Yet, I had just spent $50 (plus 20% tip) and wish I didn't have to perform the fixes. Overall, I didn't feel like I had felt a few weeks before when I had my makeup done at a different salon, or like or was something drastically different from what I could have done on my own. Interestingly, none of my friends at the wedding noticed I had my makeup done. They all assumed I had done it myself. As for my hair, I have no complaints. The blow out was $25, and I felt the stylist did what I asked, was polite, asked me whether or not I wanted certain products in my hair, and my hair looked nice all day. In summation: Bloom is a small, but clean and stylish salon. It provides a little less in the "frills" department than other places (no drink was offered when I arrived, for instance), but you do save a few bucks. One minor thing: it was super cold at the back of the salon where they do the makeup (though it was a snowy and blustery winter morning) and the chair on which the makeup is done (a director's chair) was a touch uncomfortable (I felt I had to perch on the edge so she could so the makeup). The professionals I worked with were polite and very friendly. Nobody pushed products on me, which I appreciated. I don't think I'll return for a makeup application, but I'd consider it again for a blow out.

I recently stopped by Jenna's Salon during a work trip to the area…read more I booked online and somehow ended up navigating to this location when in fact my appointment was at their other location. They could not have been more kind about it. Truly. Absolute gems of humans working in here. Due to scheduling constraints (mine), I didn't have the time to drive to their other location and still get my hair done in time for upcoming meetings I had. Again, this was not their fault nor the fault of the other location--and still they so incredibly kindly fit me in with a stylist (Sidney) here. I'm so glad they did! Sidney was lovely. She does impeccable work and is so thoughtful in her approach. She was thorough in her questions so that she could be sure to get me the color and cut I was looking for. She also had Lilly assisting her throughout my experience (since they were squeezing me in, it needed to be a group effort) and Lilly was equally lovely. The head massage she gave me during my shampoo was exactly what I needed after a couple stressful days of travel. Their prices are reasonable. Everyone I met here (from the owner to the stylists helping me to other stylists working the morning I was in) were warm and welcoming. The shop itself is chic and clean. And, the best part? A beautiful cut and exactly the color I was hoping for. And, even better? I didn't have to restyle my hair when I left (this never happens!). Sidney styled it beautifully and left me feeling refreshed and confident. Thank you, thank you!
