Never underestimate the joys of having someone else do your hair but it is even more joyful if it's a good, relaxing environment along with being at an affordable price.
I was looking for a place to get my hair done because 1) my previous place is too far away (like 40 miles) 2) the place doesn't have an inviting environment and 3) when I go there the stylist is always working on more than two people so my last haircut (just shampoo and cut) took 3 and a half hours. I watched ALL of Sex and the City on my iPod while I was there and that is not a "short" movie. That's a bit ridiculous for $60.
Anyway, decided I to check the "beauty services" section of Craigslist for a new place. I found a place called Papillion Salon. Automatic three bonuses: 1) It is near my house, 2) "Salon" is in the name (so it's probably a nicer environment, and 3) what I need done is on special this week for $40. I then googled them and they had a website, bonus again on the "legitimate" scale.
(EDIT: Ok so I checked again and I goofed: They didn't have a website but I found them here: http://www.carynews.com/ads/8141888/1475162/752396.html so I knew what kind of people to expect when I walked in. Maybe they should hire us at Raleighwood to take care of that...)
So I went there this morning and I loved it. Here's why:
The stylist, Aleishia, did my hair exactly how I told her I wanted it done
- They offered me water, coffee, and tea and kept it coming my entire visit.
- Everyone who worked there was so nice and friendly, exactly what I expect in the South.
- They apologized repeatedly for anything they thought wasn't making my visit perfect.
- They gave me more coupons for the next couple of trips.
- It's a local business.
So in exchange for their good customer service I'm recommending them to all of you.
Papillion Salon and Spa in Cary. :-)
