The basics: My age is 30 and I have naturally brown hair. I have them bleach it to a platinum silver. This is a very difficult color to attain and maintain. My hairdresser, Soteavy, is always happy to see me. I pay her what the job is worth.
I went to this salon after I went to college at Framingham State, as it's within walking distance. Now I drive 45 minutes. Let me caveat, after the other reviews. I'm a serious hair person and don't skimp. Every one of my appointments are over 100 dollars. It is a totally fair price for 2 hours of insane work on an impossible color. If you aren't me and want cheaper, they WILL work with you in all sincerity. I came in wanting white hair, yet was bargained down to a flat silver. This is the sign of a good dresser. Lazy hairdressers will just wreck your hair. My color is still super risky, but they've done it. After so much processing it shines, requires average upkeep, and has not a single split end or rough strand. Not only that, with me in mind, they have been purchasing more innovative ways to get their repeat customer's hair more reliably silver for longer.
My hairdresser is Soteavy. I cannot speak highly enough about her. She is remarkable and works with me. As of this post, whenever I look at my hair in the mirror I mentally thank Soteavy. (In a totally creepy way. It just looks so. Good.) She works with me to get it better and better every time. Sometimes she will debate with me that I do not need my hair styled or cut, so I may save money. When it is cut, it frames my face better than any reference I bring in, making the hairstyle tailored exactly to me and my face shape. I don't know what I'll do if I have to see someone else.
They're a well-earned 5 star.
