After losing 90 pounds this year -- my hair started to fall out :( AND it is thin/fine to start with....my regular stylist referred me to Sheleen because I was exploring the option of extensions....and WOW! What an incredible experience.

For starters, A Visionary Salon is VERY welcoming and acommodating. Everyone there has been awesome. The consultation was informative and personalized. My hair was ordered immediately. Sheleen and Mikelle were efficient and attentive...best of all...you won't believe how great my hair looks...the match is uncanny! From beginning to end I have had a wonderful experience with Sheleen -- I started out well-informed, the application process was smooth as could be, and I left armed with all the info I needed to take care of and style my hair!

I highly recommend this salon!

AMAZING RESULTS!!!

Styling thin, fine hair is something most stylists never understand, much less can ever become skillful with. They don't advertise that, but swipe at the attempt and often leave you a mess in their wake.

After swearing off salons for many years, I was finally convinced that there were stylists out there who listened and had the expertise to "get it." My sister found a stylist who seemed ***gifted***. Ah, if only it could be true.

I know it seems so soon, but two visits later, I've fully put my trust in Sheleen A Visionary Salon. Sheleen's experience shows in so many ways: she listens closely to client's hair concerns (their lifestyle, expectations, etc.), she's connected to the latest trends in her field, her understanding and depth of skill in her professionion--she's a colorist and extensionist -- she really knows what she's doing. Her and Mikelle are great.

My hair shines like when I was in my teens, and the color is fabulous.
I can't believe how many compliments I've had on my hair, and the same is true for my sister's and her daughter's hair as well.

I am totally hair-phobic.  I don't like getting it cut (no idea why) or dyed and I don't fuss much with it.  Before I visited A Visionary Salon two days ago I had gone at least two years - possibly longer, I don't really keep track - without so much as a trim.  My hair was long enough to sit on and split-ending like crazy, so I knew I had to do something.  

A Visionary Salon is currently undergoing renovations, so I'm not going to comment much on the layout.  It's operated out of the home of the owner, Sheleen, but was pretty easy to find.  

My hair was cut by Mikelle, and she is a fabulous stylist.  She made me feel very at ease, and listened to my concerns.  (I didn't know specifically what I wanted to do with my hair, but I wanted to keep it long, give it definition to make it more "interesting," and I wanted a low maintenance style because I'm lazy.  Oh so very lazy.)  She told me what she was doing every step of the way, so I was never left wondering whether I was going to end up with something I hated.  If I expressed a concern she was quick to adjust.  She was chatty and fun to talk to, but when I started zoning out (sitting still always puts me to sleep) she just let me space out and think about nothing and that was fabulous, too.  I've never had a hair stylist who was that sensitive to a customer's worries and needs.

Another thing I really appreciated about both Sheleen and Mikelle is they told me exactly what products they were putting in my hair and how to use it, but they didn't pressure me to buy anything that day.  That's great, and I wish more places would lay off the high-pressure sales tactics.  

Both women were quite knowledgeable, and just by listening to them talk with each other and Sheleen's client I learned a lot about hair extensions and styling techniques.  If I ever feel the need to add extensions I would feel fully confident that they know what they're doing!

When I left that day I had lost eight inches of hair and my fear of hair salons.  I have absolutely no complaints - I would recommend these fine ladies to EVERYONE!  (I'm actually looking forward to my next appointment - amazing!)

I LOVE This place!! Sheleen and Mikaela are so awesome. I was in a total funk with my current hair style and just felt lousy about myself. I really wanted extensions and started researching and came across a Visionary Salon. I had a really great consultation with Sheleen and what I wanted and what she actually thought might work the best for me the greatest thing was she herself wears what she promotes and sells and you would never know it. I started with the hair tabs, which are pieces of hair that actually stick into your hair we decided this because my hair was so short. After letting my hair grow out for awhile I told her I really wanted my hair long and I really wanted to go into the individual strands, so she 100% accommodated me and put me into 14in long shrink links and I feel like a beautiful goddess.  I have wonderful long blond hair that looks completely natural. No one knows unless I tell them that I am wearing extensions. I would recommend them to anyone who needs them or that just wants a change, its a great experience..

.. I have also used her for make-up services, I needed some new tips and ideas and she did a wonderful job. She showed me how to make myself pretty without making me look like a hoochie momma :)

I recommend them 100%.. I have never felt like I overpaid for anything...

I LOVE YOU GUYS!!
