SpaGirl Review

I'll get right to the point here: Very funky. Very cool. Awesome location. Best hair cut ever.

I was introduced to Steven Paul Salon by a friend who I ran into one fateful day at a local card shop. I actually didn't recognize her at first because she had gone from a brunette to a glamorous red-head with a stunning haircut. I remember not being able to take my eyes off her goddess-like hair, and I demanded that she tell me where she had undergone this amazing transformation. The answer: Steven Paul Salon.

On my first trip, I was slightly apprehensive because I had recently gotten a so-so haircut that I had made into a disastrous haircut by cutting it myself. But from my first steps into the salon, the friendly front-end staff and the warm, funky atmosphere of the decor put me at ease right away. And the hair cut! Oh my gosh -- what talent lies within the walls of this charming and lively salon! I've been back since for an equally impressive highlight and conditioning treatment. And from the looks of the happy folks I've seen leave the salon, any one the truly talented professionals at Steven Paul Salon will bring out the best in you. A definite SpaGirl two thumbs-up!
