Hello Ladies N Gents! First a little about me: I have frequented 4 to 5 different salons and demand only the best from my stylist. I have a lot of hair, and I mean a lot! It's thick, long, and has a lot of body. A normal cut for me lasts about an hour, and that’s without a blowdry! Now why would a girl want to change her stylist? Well, my stylist just didn't seem interested any more and she helped make up my mind by going on maternity leave. So, off I go in search for someone new. I previously used Salon Dakota and decided to give them another try. But first I made a phone call to probe and see if they had someone with experience cutting long hair. We bounced a couple names off and I decided with Derrick. I had been there before and love the quaint, but modern homey feel of the salon and didn't have to wait but five minutes to meet Derrick. He gave an immediate impression that we could be great friends, which is always a bonus when you’re sitting there for over an hour with this person! We discussed my hair qualities, and how it is usually cut and styled, and he proceeded to educate me as to why the previous cut and style was no longer working for me. This guy knows his stuff! We resumed my appointment with a wash and relaxing scalp massage. He explained each product as he applied it and how it benefited my hair and the environment, a plus since I'm a tree hugger! I then dipped my hands in peach paraffin wax, mmm. The cut: I felt so confident in his knowledge and experience, that I let him go with the flow and, let me tell you, it turned out fabulous!! I have not had my hair look so glamorous and chic in years! And compliments galore! I gave out four referrals in an hour! I am definitely going back for my next cut and style and refer anyone to use Derrick as their stylist! I give Derrick major props and he better stick around so I can keep going to him!
Pros: Friendly people, great atmosphere, quality services at reasonable prices, good referral program
Cons: NONE
