I want to thank Jillian for rescuing me today and correcting my aweful hair color. I tried a different salon having been given a gift certificate and what a mistake! Jillian is a master at color, high lights, low lights and gets it right every time. I am so grateful and relieved to look like myself again. I will not stray again. Many thanks to Lynn too for her kindness and always making me feel welcome! I highly recommend First Impressions Salon! read more

Please fix your parking lot. It's been in horrible condition for longer than I can remember and I'm tired of worrying about what kind of damage the pot holes will do to my car. Very bad first impression. read more

I had a simple manicure. The manicurist did not soak my hands or nails but just started cutting my cuticles. I have 3 fingers bleeding, which she soaked u with a small square piece of cotton without gloves on. Both hands had throbbing bloody fingers when I left. I am a nursing student and I have concerns about the safety of future patrons. read more

Michelle cut and colored my hair. I drove an hour to see her, as she came highly recommended. I'm extremely particular with who I allow to cut my hair, as it is on the fine, thinner side. She cut my and colored my hair just as I wanted and the Aveda products work beautifully on my hair. I highly recommend this salon and Michelle. The staff are very welcoming. read more

Just moved here and needed to find a good hairdresser - and I did! Michelle did an amazing job and the entire staff was incredibly friendly. Will definitely be going back and would highly recommend! read more

My hair looks so terrible i am embarrassed to go out in public and the layers that i specifically did not ask for make it so that i cannot even put it in a low bun or braid it. There is a huge uneven chunk of hair missing in the front. At the beginning of the appointment I specifically requested for my hair to be cut all one length. This is a disaster and will take months to grow back out to merely cut to one length without creating a bob that makes me look like dora the explorer. read more

MY REVIEW FIRST IMPRESSIONS is a Aveda Concept Salon and they provide all 4 services except that they are not designated as an Earth Month Leader Salon. What I am looking for in a salon - 1) friendly, 2) relaxation, 3) warm and welcoming, 4) consistency in the services it provides each time I visit, and 5) professionalism. So based on the Aveda's warm, memorable experiences at this Aveda Concept Salon - -1. I was not asked if I wanted a cup of tea or water. Nothing was offered. I'm not sure if I this salon had anything like that for its customers. My stylist introduced herself and led me to the chair. -2. I did not need a thorough consultation - I just went in for a haircut. I had forgotten the picture of the hairstyle I had wanted and was looking for it on my smartphone. The stylist was patient with me and did want me to take my time in finding it, but I ended up just stating what I wanted and showed a random picture of a haircut I liked. -3. I was not treated to a complimentary Aveda Sensory Ritual that was stress -relieving. My hair was shampooed and conditioned in record time. (I have been going to Aveda salons since 2001, so like 13 years. My last Aveda Salon I was at - I was there for 5 years because they were always consistent and I really appreciated the de-stressing Aveda sensory ritual that was done when my hair was being washed. I would receive a scalp massage and massages on both my arms and hands and that was soooo great and stress relieving. The haircut at this salon is $45 flat for any stylist and my previous salon was in the Chicago Area, $39 for a senior stylist and they always found the time to give me a scalp massage, a custom conditioner with a heated aroma infused towel, an eye mask, and hand/arm massage while my hair was being washed and conditioned before the cut.) -4. This was not applicable to the haircut. -5. Since I have been going to Aveda salons forever I already had in mind the products I wanted, but my stylist did help in picking which specific brilliant product that was best for my hair type. Rated against what I was looking for - 1) friendly - they were nice enough; 2) relaxation - not very relaxing at all; 3) warm and welcoming - I did not feel this; 4) consistency in the services it provides - this was my first time there, but if I get the same service each time I'm not sure if I am willing to pay $45 for a shampoo and cut; 5) professionalism - they were okay. Overall, I could have gone to a Supercut and probably have gotten the same type of customer service experience for $16.95, but I wanted the Aveda experience and products. I will be trying another Aveda salon in the area hopefully I can find one that is very relaxing completes the full "five steps that make every visit to Aveda a warm, memorable experience". I totally miss my Aveda Salon in the Chicago area, but I guess you don't know what you have until it's gone. Please note, that this was my first time here and maybe they were having an off day and if you don't have the same expectations as I do this salon might be the one for you. read more

This Salon was recommended to me by a total stranger! I saw her in the gym and asked her where she got her hair cut. I have been coming here now whenever I can since I moved here. Occaisionally I have to go other places due to the amount I travel, which makes me appreciate this place even more. The staff always makes you feel welcome, as if they truly appreciate your business. Best of all are the services. I have had hair and massage services. Both are excellent. I ALWAYS leave First Impressions feeling as if I've been pampered and well taken care of. I will continue to support this first class establishment as long as I am living in the area, and will recommend it to everyone!!!! read more

This salon is the best you can find in the area. Coming from NYC I tried at least 20 other salons prior to finding First Impressions. The color is spot on and the service goes above an beyond. Lynn the manager is knowledgable and friendly. Nicki does fantastic color and gives a good cut. People ask me everywhere I go "where do you get your hair done"? There is no better compliment than this. read more

Not a real Aveda experience. There were absolutely no rituals as advertised. Haircut short and sweet. No consult or relaxing shampoo

I found First Impressions via the Aveda site when I moved here and wanted to find an Aveda salon for my color. I went in and met the people and picked up a price list before I made an appointment. On appointment day, I gave them my formula, written by my hairdresser were I moved from. The hair dresser sat down in a chair and chit chatted with me for a few minutes. There was only one other customer in the shop, so no one was in a rush. When I checked out I was charged a CONSULTATION FEE! I have never had this experience, even at tony salons like Elizabeth Arden in NYC. The fee was not on the price list and they had never mentioned it beforehand. Furthermore, the color didn't cover the gray, which I noticed as soon as I got home. I am very angry and disgusted. I will never go there again. read more
