I love Local Honey! I remember when I moved here, it was chancy to go there because people said,…read more"everyone walks out with the same funky haircut". I call bullsh*t!! I personally go to Grace or Savana. They're pro's at making sure the makeup stays on during the wash and my hair always turns out just how I like it. The front desk ladies are 10/10 too! I recommend the iced coffee with oatmilk :) I haven't had a bad experience at Local Honey and I've gone almost weekly this year. So, if you need a neighborhood salon or want to try a new one, go to Local Honey East!

Big shoutout to my barber Celina at Local Honey -- hands down the best fade and beard work I've had…read morein Nashville. She's consistent, precise, and somehow always knows exactly what I want even when I don't explain it well. The shop itself is a vibe too -- open-concept, modern, and welcoming the second you walk in. They'll usually offer you a drink (I'm a coffee with oat milk regular ), and the whole staff is super professional and helpful. They'll talk you through products without being pushy and make booking your next appointment easy. And every now and then you might even spot a celebrity popping in for color or styling, which says a lot about the level they operate at. If you want a barber who takes pride in their craft and a shop that delivers the full experience, book with Celina. You won't regret it. Call Local Honey East at 615-915-1354 and be sure to ask for Celina.

My new splurge while traveling for work is to get a blow out the day before going home. It's a good…read morechance to relax and my hair looks great for travel day. After some researching, I wanted somewhere that would do more than just wash and dry my hair. BBC Nashville for the bill. Allison was my stylist. I arrived, was offered coffee/tea and promptly taken to a quiet little room for my service. The lights were dim and relaxing music was playing. Allison came in and looked at my hair under a cool microscope thing. She then picked the right products to wash and nourish. I have a ton of hair and so just having someone wash and dry this mop us a treat. But the scalp massage was an added bonus. I almost fell asleep! Then she blew out my hair and it looked amazing. Such a great service and fair price. I don't know when I'll be back to Nashville but when I do count on me coming here again.

I needed a rescue and Emaline and Betsy gave me that. It was a bit a dye-r situation (see what I…read moredid there? ;)). I posted in a Facebook group about anyone having any openings that day. Pony reached out to me and told me that Emaline had an opening at 1pm. I put out the post around 10:30am. Timing worked out. The location was a couple of minutes from my house, and I had never noticed this salon driving down 8th. Alright, let's do it. Between the time of my arrival and the time we confirmed the appointment via Facebook messenger, someone from the salon reached out to me directly via phone. He explained to me what to expect with their covid guidelines and what to expect with my email and texting system. They send out a confirmation email day of appointment to confirm if you're still able to attend. Since mine was the same day, I still go the text. The waiver that is sent via email is basically you confirming that you do not have covid and you're not putting the salon at liability for the virus. Upon arrival, you call and they let you in. You immediately directed to a sink to wash your hands. A mask is required upon entry and you are mandatory to wear it the duration of your visit. The employees also wear their masks and the booths are spread out to provide social distancing. Earlier this week, I was a hair model for a student apprentice at another salon. She was super nice and I enjoyed my visit with the apprentice, but what I signed up for was not the result I got. Needless to say, a color correction was needed in order to remedy my hair situation. I was not meant to be a red head and I wanted to get something more in the color realm that I was planning to be initially. Emaline was a heaven-sent. Betsy, the owner, was right there with her as well. Emaline is Betsy's apprentice, but has been working at the salon for 3 year and 2 of them as a cosmetologist. Betsy has been doing hair for 20 something years and has owned her salon for about the same amount of time. BBC are her initials. I could not name the list of services that they did, but what I can say is that they did a damn great job and that it took them a better half of 4 hours to get everything done. They took my fire red to a subtle brown with blonde highlights. My hair is a shinier version of my natural color that looks sun kissed. They used a permanent color, foils, and a strong conditioner that helps with split ends that won't damage my hair. It took a lot to get it back to something reasonable that would be more natural looking and less abstract for my taste. I am all about crazy hair colors as I have sported many in my time, but I am graduating in 3 months and I need something natural looking for the sake of my graduation photos. Plus, I want something that is maintainable. This is going to be a hair color I can maintain for quite a while and won't require repeat bi-weekly visits to keep the vibrancy. I think the highlight of my visit aside from Evaline's wonderful head massage in the sink was the conversations had. Everyone is so chill in the establishment. They are genuine in their intentions and they are truly customer oriented to ensure you are getting the service that you want. I was grateful for the consultation we went over before getting my hair done, and it only solidified my happiness with the end result. I look forward to returning and experiencing more services from BBC Salon. For the record, they offer quite a few services including vegan sunless tanning, waxing, eye brow tinting, hair + scalp treatments, and lash lifts. This truly is a go-to for all your needs. Lastly, Betsy sent me away with a goodie bag. She said that new clients get to take home a single product as a 'thank you' for visiting. She also gave me some shampoo samples that would be good for my hair. I like the shampoo a lot! They have some good products that cater to their clients. Check it out!

Yesterday my daughter went in for what was supposed to be a free consultation, and Randi-Rae ended up spending over two hours of her own personal time fixing her extensions, refreshing her color with a gloss and touch-up, and making sure everything looked perfect. She never made us feel rushed or like an inconvenience. We both walked out feeling like a million bucks. Her talent is obvious, but it's her generosity, professionalism, and genuine care for her clients that truly set her apart. Thank you for going above and beyond!

Well, you can do that too at Ardon House so I guess they've got everything covered :) ps - Parking in the lot behind the building can be tight. And I'm still not sure if the alley leading to that parking lot is 1-way or 2-way. Either way, it's a little dicey. I'd suggest leaving a little extra time and maybe trying to find street parking.
