Absolute Perfection!

by GBA

You are greeted with a smile (unusual these days) offered something to drink, do not wait long and leave with an incredible haircut and color at a reasonable price, even better on Tuesday $10 off or Wednesday $20 off, and hey, every penny counts these days. Better than Newport or Corona Del Mar at much higher price!

• Pros: Warm atmosphere and easy to get to
• Cons: none

Bonnie is a genius! Perfect experience!

by AshlyAutumn

Before last Monday I hadn't had a haircut in almost 8 years. My hair was all the way down my back, very very thick and very very curly. I was super attached to it, but I knew it was time to get rid of all the dead weight and make it look less like some kind of frizzy, pyramid-shaped cape. I had Cher hair. Vintage, giant, out of control curly Cher hair. So I spoke to Shannon, the receptionist, prior to going in. I made it clear that I had very difficult hair to work with, and I said about ten times that I needed someone who really knew what to do with curly hair. I was insistent, and full of fear, and I'm pretty sure I sounded completely neurotic. She patiently listened to my rambling plea for someone who could take on the challenge of my wild hair & booked me with Bonnie. I said thank you, hung up the phone, and proceeded to drive myself crazy for the next week thinking about all the horrific things that could happen to my hair. I was petrified walking into the salon. But Shannon and Bonnie immediately welcomed me and made me feel at ease. It was exactly the kind of atmosphere I had hoped for, and as Bonnie talked with me about my hair it became clear to me that she knew exactly what I wanted. She understood my hair, which had been my biggest concern. And when I saw the pictures of her adorable kids I saw that they had curly hair too! I finally stopped freaking out and just trusted her. Bonnie took off at least 8 to 10 inches and cut lots of long layers. I avoided looking at the massive amounts of hair on the floor and instead focused on how AMAZING my hair looked! It was beautiful! My hair now frames my face perfectly, has just the right amount of volume, is still long enough to be versatile, and actually has a style to it. I LOVE IT! SO MUCH!!! All that freaking out was for nothing. Bonnie is a GENIUS with curly hair, and anyone with curly hair knows that it's really not easy to work with. I'm so happy! Best haircut I've EVER had. THANK YOU BONNIE!!

• Pros: Great stylists, awesome receptionist
• Cons: No cons!
