Jennifer, my hair SAVIOR, is back in action!

I have to applaud her choice of new salon.  It doesn't feel pretentious at all.  The staff are all very welcoming.  I really like the space.  It's bright and open.  They feature local artist's work on the walls and rotate it every so often.  The music is groovy, but not so loud that you can't hear what your stylist is saying to you.

Jennifer has such a keen sense of what kind of cut and color are appropriate for you.  See will be honest in her suggestions and opinions.  As always - I left feeling great and 10000 times more beautiful than I did walking in.  Michael is a terrific assistant and his positive attitude in infectious.

They also have nail services here.  I think they may also have waxing services.

Macdaddy in Forest Park is my new salon of choice.

The Mac Dad will make you. Jump! Jump! The Daddy Mac will make you. Jump! Jump!

Ah, the infamous words of the beloved Kris Kross circa 1992
Unfortunately my experience with this MacDaddy did not make me feel like jumping.

I came in and knew it was going to be bad news when I saw two stylists working on a total of three people and two people waiting. I guess I just don't like making an appointment if it's not going to be honored. If you're behind then call me and I will come later. Overbooking isn't cool in my opinion.

Although I described my particular hair type to the stylist she seemed unprepared and not very knowledgeable. I was shocked when she was brushing my tight curls and yanking my head all over like I was a doll "does that hurt"?Umm, Ya think? She had to stop in the midst of doing my hair to go and cut someone else while I sat their looking like a freaking scarecrow browsing US Weekly.
The best part of my experience here was the receptionist/shampoo-ist/intern Michael. He was really nice, talkative, friendly and seemed to know his stuff though still in hair school (he flat ironed part of my hair)

The finished product is just ok and honestly at the level I'd expect from a student. I got home and had to do a few additional things to add a bit of shine and control some frizz. I think this salon could be perfect for someone who has average/normal hair. I don't plan to go back.

Consistently good hair salon.  I like the cuts and color I see around me.  The store features a rotating art display of different contemporary artists.
