I have been a regular client for almost two years. I received a text from Sarah stating that she would have to cancel my mani/pedi that same day since her husband was having surgery. She asked if I wanted to change to an appointment on Saturday. I told her that I couldn't accept that appointment since I am leaving to go out of town tomorrow and I would find someone else for today. I was about to wish her best wishes on her husbands surgery when she texts me that she does not want to do my nails anymore. This seems so out of the blue. I am not sure if there was a misunderstanding over text. I was in no way rude about her needing to cancel. To my knowledge, we have had zero issues in the past and I have only had to cancel on her once in the past, due to an emergency situation. I have been a very loyal and reliable client. I honestly do not know what has happened, but this is highly unprofessional. I was only seeking a new tech for today since I am leaving tomorrow and will not be in town on Saturday.

From the work I've seen and saw while I was there, I'd say this salon does not specialize in…read morenatural nails. They do more work on dips and acrylics. I had an appointment for a spa pedi and regular manicure. The pedi was advertised as 60 minutes, mine was done in 30 and I will be doing my own exfoliating today because my feet are still rough. The manicure did not include cuticle oil or lotion nor massage. You can see from the pictures the polish did not go on well. I believe it was an old bottle. She tried to thin it with acetone but it still was thick and she struggled. I'd prefer she'd had just asked me to pick a different color. Even after a night of sleep the polish is still soft. On the upside the space was clean and inviting. They offer online booking which is nice. If you are looking for overlays, dips or Acrylics I might go here. But as for natural nails, I'd pick another spot.

She was very clear and understand understanding what I asked, and we had great communication. She went on maternity leave so I had to figure out other options within the salon. I found Tammy who did a very detailed job. But suddenly refused to do anything outside the basic color "box". We got into a disagreement over this, and she got a little bit extra overdone, so to speak. And the nail service for that time was not good. In fact, I absolutely hated my nails. I decided not to go to her. So I tried the male technician. I believe they're married, but I could be wrong. He does a very detailed and specific job as well. But the communication of what I asked for he was not able to deliver. I believe the issue that they are having in the salon is a communication gap. I think if they listened to what their clients actually want the service and relationship would be far superior than it is. Sadly, I do not plan on coming back. I'm very disappointed with how they view service.

What drew…read moreme in were the relatively inexpensive mani/pedis, and the cute 50s and 60s decor, but what keeps me coming back is Dora Lee and how she cuts, colors and styles my hair. On our first visit, she introduced my sister to the Brazilian Blowout that completely transformed her extremely curly hair to smooth and lustrous hair. Though I like her hair both ways, the transformation was amazing and offered a new level of sophistication. My sister lives in Maryland, but she liked this style so much, she has continued this process in her town ever since. She also gave my somewhat nervous niece her first salon haircut at age 11 and worked with her very well. She was sensitive to her and didn't talk down to her. The cut was good and my niece was happy. :) I was impressed with Dora Lee's expertise and technique (makes sense, she used to teach students a vast array of hair and aesthetician services), and asked to cut and color my hair later that week. She did, I love it and have been going back on a regular basis now. It's by far my favorite cut in a long time. I am not someone who spends a tremendous amount of time on my hair- I have no patience and I'm never that happy with it. But Dora Lee has made it easier for me to style my own, and feel more confident about it, and just inspired me to care more about it in general. I think that's an impressive feat! And speaking of feet (see what I did there? Ha), she does a great pedicure but I do have another favorite place for my mani/pedis. The prices are more than I was used to paying for hair, but the technique is better as well, so you get what you pay for-- and the prices are actually quite moderate. The salon itself is surprisingly small compared to my expectations from photos posted, just two seats for hair, and maybe 2 for mani/pedis with slightly limited, albeit beautiful, color choices? I would definitely make an appointment rather than drop in but the appointments are easily scheduled. And although the exterior is quite outdated and unimpressive, the interior is cute and the services are great! I would definitely recommend Studio Blonde to anyone but if you have a large party, it might not be ideal, though they may do off-site business as well, not sure. But I'd definitely recommend Dora Lee if you are looking for a new or just different stylist. She's extremely knowledgable and delivers fantastic results! If this was just a review for Dora Lee, it would be a full five stars! Plus, it's just fun saying "Dora Lee". ;)
