After 22 years as a client, this salon has once again exceeded my every expectation.
Since 1996 when I first frequented DJW in Newtown , I have received the benefits of cutting edge craftsmanship in haircare and exemplary salon and spa services.
I have sat with many stylists in that timeframe and have never been disappointed. The fear of having your stylist booked or going on vacation is non-existent as David and his Senior staff ensure that every stylist receive extensive in salon training before they do anything more than wash your hair. With that being said, I have noticed that even the shampoo experience is one which is consistent among technicians. My daughter and I have had the priviliege of serving as models for various new stylist classes as well as continuing education for the team. My appreciation for the skill, geometry, chemistry and attention to detail which goes into something as seemingly routine as a simple cut and color is beyond measure.
Since I am not much of a planner and often make appointments on the fly, the stylists I have sat with over the years are too numerous to name. However, over the past 10 years, senior stylist Kristy has been there for me, providing her expertise and support through long and short of my hair and life and everything in between.
When I recently moved out of the area and had to find s local salon for color touch ups, I often returned to DJW for my cuts and unfortunately for me, at times necessary color correction.
After my challenges in finding a salon within the state, I had an even greater concern trying to find one when I relocated to rural Western NC.
Simply put, the bar has been set quite high. I jokingly say that David and his staff have ruined me. After a short time in NC, I was able to find a job, a home, favorite restaurants, entertainment and shopping, but the search for the elusive quality salon and stylist has continued on.
This month, after two extremely bad experiences with stylists in NC and quite a few tears shed, I actually flew back to DJW for a much needed color correction and a cut.
Stylist Ellie did her magic with David himself offeriing some advice and guidance regarding a new product which gently lifted out some of the unwanted color. Did I mention this place is always bringing in the latest and greatest cutting edge products and processes?
To make a long story even longer, not only did I leave with restored confidence and a great cut and color, David is assisting me in finding someone in NC. In the meantime, I'll fly back to visit DJW for cuts and corrections.
One final note, I am not a women of great means and carefully budget my personal care,
I always keep this thought in mind... you can change a bad outfit, but you wear your hair every day! Invest in yourself and experience the excellence of DJW. read more
