I rarely write reviews, but I do read them when I am looking for a reliable
and trustworthy business to work with. If you do the same, you cannot
go wrong with Chosen Salon, located on the corner of Cedar and Herndon in Fresno. After calling several different places around Fresno and Clovis, requesting to speak with a stylist before I made my decision, Kay at Chosen Salon was the only one who really seemed to take the time to truly care about making sure she could give me the style and color I wanted. It has been about 10 years since I had my hair cut at a salon and even longer since I had any color or highlights. I had an over the phone consultation, where Kay asked many questions about my hair history and what services I wanted. I sent her a couple different photos of possible haircut styles and some with the highlights I wanted, she even asked for a picture of me to see the length and color of my hair. After discussing how much the service would cost, I had to really think about it, but only for about 3 minutes, and decided to make the appointment. I felt like the price was very fair, considering the time it would take to cut, highlight, style my hair AND show me how to get the same look when I do it myself. When I first arrived for my appointment, Kay was waiting and ready for me as soon as I walked through the door. She excitedly welcomed me, we went over the pictures that I had previously sent to her, double and triple checked what I was wanting and expecting. We also discussed what products and tools I would need to do my own hair styling at home, which were things I already had but didn't quite know how to use for the style I was looking for. The salon had a very comfortable and calming vibe. The complete cut, highlights, and styling took about 4 hours, but with having Kay as my stylist, it really didn't feel that long because she was checking in with me, explaining what she was doing and what she would need to do next on my hair, and we were having fun and entertaining conversations. When she finished coloring and styling my hair, she gave me a 360 degree look in the mirror, it turned out better than I could have possibly imagined. The way she made my highlights blend and complement my natural hair color and styled my hair was ab-so-lute-ly amazing to me. I was really in awe of how Kay was able to exactly cut and color my hair the way I wanted. I wasn't sure what to expect, but she was able to create a completely flawless look! read more
