I don't know why I do this but I can be rather 'impulsive' with my hair and what I do to it. The morning that I decided to go here, I had seen a girl wearing a salon apron picking up a muffin in the grocery store below the salon (its in the Manulife center). Her hair was soooo pretty so I thought 'let me call this salon and see if they have any time for me to get my hair colored'. Well, they did have time for me but not with the stylist whom I had seen in the store.

I showed up and had to wait 20 minutes for my stylist-yikes. This is your standard hair salon-blow dryers going, women in foils and under dryers. Nothing glam, that's for sure. I finally met my stylist and explained to her that I had seen this other stylist this morning and loved her hair and could she do something similar. She said, 'You're in luck-I do her hair'. GREAT!

I don't think I have ever had such a thorough colour consult in my entire life. This girl (her name is Laura by the way) took so much time to explain colour combinations to me. I showed her what I wanted and explained my daily routine and we ended up coming to a compromise about what would look good (and not crazy) in my hair and why. Totally cancelled out the 20 minute wait complaint! She really took time with my hair and did a wonderful job on it. I didn't get a cut but she did shape my bangs!!

Salons are a dime a dozen here and I am really grateful that there are some stylists out there that will sit and take the time to make sure they 'get it right'. I am most definitely going back for a cut and she even told me to come back for touch ups. This girl took me from washed out blonde to a beautiful auburn with copper highlights. I have gotten a ton of compliments and it just warms up my whole face. Beautiful!
