I was just about to post about my great experience a couple weeks back at Saloon. This was my first time getting my hair cut in Astoria because I've had so many bad haircuts that I just kept going back to the salon I like back at home in Connecticut. Anyway, so I called Saloon in desperation because it was a really hot day and my hair had gotten really long, and they scheduled me that afternoon with Alyssa. I love the cut she gave me. She frowned upon my self-dyed hair and told me I should get my hair cut more often (which I agree with, but that doesn't mean I will), but I've never gotten so many compliments on my hair as I have since getting this cut. My hair is very fine, curly and wavy, and it's just hard to get it to look good. With this cut I can just put some of my usual hair crap in it and it air dries with a nice shape. And it only cost $36. I was told over the phone that it would cost $45 and up for a cut and blow dry, but I opted for no blow dry, and so yeah. Very happy and will go back. Thanks Marlena/MFells for the recommendation!
