Urban Style is my hair mecca. Christopher, the owner and my stylist, has created a peaceful oasis for relaxing while getting what I believe to be the best hair cuts around. My mom gets her hair highlighted here and it always looks good- natural but noticeable, if that makes sense.
There are always fresh flowers and delicious candles in the fabulously decorated three chair salon. They even have iPads for customers to use- pretty nice! I also happen to appreciate their "leave the kids at home" policy- getting my hair done is a luxury for me, as it is for many women, and I don't want to hear a screaming child (or two) while I'm trying to catch up with Christopher and soak in the atmosphere.
Essentially, the service is top-notch, and the Urban Style stylists can make you as conservative or avant-garde as you are willing to go. The chairs are comfortable, as are the recliners that ease you into an excellent shampoo session before your cut. They use mostly Moroccan Oil products (and have for years- before they became trendy!) and also do Brazilian blowouts, glazes, hair coloring and highlights, basically the works.
Call ahead for an appointment as they are quite popular- but I promise it is more than worth the wait.
ps- I have naturally curly, red hair, which Christopher handles with ease (I like to wear it straightened most of the time so he always makes sure to give me a style that will work if my hair is straightened, dried naturally (curly), or wavy. read more
