This place is my go-to! The salon is fabulous and everyone js so sweet. I’ve had blow outs done by most of the girls and they’re all great. Eleni is my absolutely favorite. She does a fantastic job and she’s also so fast I feel like I am in and out of there in no time. Not to mention she’s a pleasure to talk to. I highly recommend booking an appointment.

A few weeks ago, I made appointments for a blowout and full face makeup on the afternoon of Sep 30 (was attending a wedding that day). The appointments were 1pm-1:45pm for the hair and 1:45-2:30pm for the makeup. Around noon they called to inform me they were running 15 min late. I arrived around 1pm anyway just in case they had perhaps made up the time but was prepared not to start until 1:15pm. I was concerned from the start though because it was clear upon arrival that the prior client was more than 15 min away from being done. At 1:20pm I inquired with the front desk about how much longer it would take; both they and the stylist (Nae?) told me 10 more minutes. I asked if we would still finish on time (2:30–2:40pm) and was told yes. They finally started on my shampoo at 1:40pm. Around 2:20pm she was about wrapping up my blow dry (though hadn't started any of the styling) and remarked "we'll definitely still finish on time". This seemed inconceivable to me because there was no way it would be possible to do the hair styling and a full face of makeup in 25 minutes. I said that I would have to skip the makeup and do it myself back at home because doing it here would take too long. At that point it became clear that my stylist had no idea I had booked a makeup service at all; finishing on time to her had meant just finishing the blowout / hair styling. She said "oh we won't make you pay for that" as though it was a real goodwill gesture for me not to be expected to pay for a service I did not receive due to an error on their end regarding scheduling forecasting / planning. I did like the blowout quality and got a number of compliments on it from fellow wedding guests, but that did not compensate for the stress caused from having to do my own makeup on late notice (I am not local and did not bring all the right supplies on this trip, since I had expected to be outsourcing my makeup). Additionally there was a pattern of comments that may have been meant with helpful intent but felt fairly naggy and in my opinion are things that a stylist should be able to read the room and roll with the punches / not mention. For example: commenting multiple times that my hair was dry, admonishing me for touching my bangs because my oily hands would get on the bangs, needing to sit up straight so it would be easier for her to do her job, keeping my neck when she was combing out my hair. Lastly I noticed a few misc. hygiene issues like used hair clips and brushes that gave me pause. Overall I would not recommend this place, especially if you are under any sort of time constraint before an event.

I had a blowout done by Eleni on a Friday morning that lasted until Monday. It was done with precision and care and looked AMAZING (even after the insane winds). The store was clean and felt very safe. Staff was amazing. This is my new favorite blow out bar. Five star service!
