So I'm warning you, this is a long one. I wondered for a long time whether or not I should post…read more(especially seeing as she has so many outstanding reviews), and whether I was taking my experience too personally. Here goes.. I went in over the summer for a balayage and cut, I had just finished my first semester of grad school here and it was meant to be somewhat of a treat to myself. I had Melissa do my hair and she seemed friendly and considerate at first. Positives: The cut was fine and the dye job wasn't awful. Negatives: I had barely been sat down in the chair for 10 min when Melissa exclaimed 'wow your hair is soooo thin!' ok so this threw me off guard a little bit.. For one, my hair isn't exactly super thick, but it also isn't super thin either and besides that, I would think a hairdresser would know better than to make those kinds of comments. But ok, moving on, I chalked it up to insensitivity. Strike 2, we were chatting and she asked me 'where are you from', 'England!', 'oh but ethnically?' 'ahh my dad is iranian' 'ahhh! so thats where the thin hair comes from'. I kid you not, her words exactly. Who says that??? Way to make me feel like shit about myself. Third strike comes in the form of 'you have grad student hair, what happens is grad students don't eat properly, and they're stresses and then their hair starts to fall out'. Ok cool. At this point I have no choice but to put on a smile because I'm stuck in this chair for a good 2 hours or so. So the fourth strike comes when shes washing my hair and exclaims 'your hair feels nasty!' I'm literally gobsmacked and mumble something about 'It's probably product buildup..' she starts going on about how its from dying my hair too much and how hair dye strips the hair - guys, I haven't dyed my hair in 4 years and I say so, instead of accepting that I would know if I'd dyed my hair she replies with 'hmmmm are you sure, because hair dye causes damage like this..'.................................... Honestly at this point I'm on the verge of tears but holding it together. I've lost count of the strikes. Then comes the so called balayage. It wasn't what I wanted - didn't look faded in, she did such fine layers that it ended up looking like a weird blob of colour. Perhaps this was my fault and I should have been more clear, well at one point I said to her 'I know you know what you're doing but could you do the layers a little bit thicker but less of them' she gave me this look as if to say 'I know what I'm doing' and just said nothing. I've attached a picture of my hair that I took immediately after getting it done. This is just my personal experience but I would not recommend this place. There are much more talented hairdressers in town.

Melissa listened to what I wanted and gave me advice on how best to wash and style my hair. If you have curly hair I would highly recommend Eden's Rain. I felt safe the entire time I was in the salon. Everything was clean, masks are worn at all times. It was such a great experience.

Not only is she incredibly experienced and talented at what she does, but she pays close attention to every detail. You can genuinely tell that she cares about her work, her clients, and the end result. One of the things I appreciate most is that she takes her time. I never felt like she was rushing through my appointment. I've been getting my hair done for many years, and she is the first hairstylist I've had who I feel has such a genuine passion for what she does. It really shows in her work. On top of being extremely talented, she is also kind, personable, and so easy to talk to, which makes the entire experience that much better. If anyone is looking for a hairstylist who truly cares about her craft and her clients, she is hands-down the person I would recommend. She is a true artist when it comes to hair and an absolute gem--truly one of a kind.

So, the last hairdresser that knew how to cut my hair was in Latham NY. 6 years ago I moved to…read moreAlbuquerque NM, and since then I've been "testing" my way through hairdressers (too many to speak of). I usually like a bob or A-line cut. Over time, I've learned that although these cuts look simple, they are difficult to master by many people who call themselves hairdressers. In the case of my hair, if the layers are done incorrectly, I end up with little wings at each level, and as a professional, it's not a look I'm going for. I also don't have time to futz with my hair on a daily basis, so a haircut that I can comb and fluff with my hand, and allow to air dry, and yet still look good, is critical! Marissa LISTENED TO ME and started cutting. She made the job look easy. The results were great day-of, and after a few hair washes, I'd say the cut looks even better than it did on the day of cut. I have found my new hairdresser, and it only took 6 years :) I'm trilled. And I can't wait to go back :) :)

The woman who was working with me said she would leave the color on for 15 minutes. She never checked my hair, and came back in 25 minutes. It was definitely over processed.
