That is amazing customer service. The building is really cool with a well done interior. You can tell that it is a well oiled machine and it has been functioning successfully for a while. I gave this place 4 stars because while everything else is a 5, the eyebrow wax I received was a 2 and I don't want to bring down the yelp rating for this place based on a wax given to me by one person. This was the most money I had spent on an eyebrow wax, for the worst-looking eyebrows I have ever had. I should have spoken up before i left so she could fix it. The girl was young and it seems like maybe she doesn't have much experience based on the comments she made about my eyebrows and the poor quality of the job. This will be my last time at that salon (or any salon) for a while. I have absolutely no luck with pampering-related services ;(

I have been seeing Angela for my cuts and coloring ever since. I went to her for coloring right after summer started. I haven't had any color in my hair since 2001. I absolutely love it. I love the results of the cut, the coloring, the experience when in session. Angela understands the complexity of hair, people, personalities, and the human condition. She also loves my dog Hachi which is great :) The ambience and energy of the space is welcoming and inviting, yet intimate and personal.
