Salon has been open since May and it speaks to their success that when I went in (in November), they still didn’t have a Web site up. Their business seemed to be doing quite well without one. Many of their clients are walk-ins, referrals, word of mouths, and neighborhood locals. They specialize in blow-outs, which you can get without an appointment. For men they offer a complimentary “clean-up” three weeks after a haircut; for dogs they offer doggie treats.
Salon also has unpretentious prices—cuts starting out at $45.
As for my own hair, my main problem with most haircuts is that my hair ends up looking much like it did when I came in (which, according to a friend of mine, is my fault, not the stylist’s). When I do have time to blow-dry, I can tell my hair has much more layering and form than it used to, so I’m happy with the cut. However, when I leave the house with wet hair … well, that’s what ponytail holders are for, right?
