In Short – The affordable yet stylish younger sibling to Soon Beauty Lab East is as unpretentious and neighborhoody as the original, with the same girly, '50s-inspired and slightly edgy appeal. The salon's pink- and orange-painted walls set off the otherwise white space, while pearlescent concrete floors add a touch of glamour. A young crowd and contemporary rock fill the room with energy. On offer: cuts, highlights, double and single processes, perms, straightening, deep conditioning and texturizing.

ambiance

  1. My one negative is that the salon is a little depressing - it could use some more decoration/personality overall.
  2. The atmosphere is awesome, my favorite stylist is incredible (although all of them are amazing), and the prices are low comparatively to the service you get.

Worst highlights of my life!!

by Sarita880 at Citysearch

Do I have to give a star?

I created a city search account just to tell everyone AVOID this place at all costs for hair color.

I received a haircut that resulted in inches more than I asked for being chopped off. However, the unfortunate trim was overshadowed by the disastrous YELLOW highlights.

The color "specialist" claimed blonde highlights are "easy" for him but he ruined my hair. I was embarrassed to go outside until I went back to my hometown and had the color corrected.

Bad experience

by sallysadie at Citysearch

I was able to get an appointment here at the last minute, but the stylist (Annie) didn't cut my the way I asked her to before she started cutting, and when I tried to intervene during she just got defensive. I thought i was being specific when I explained that I wanted to keep my long layers and lose some length, but she gave me a pretty different style: shaggy, almost feathered. She asked at the end what I thought, but when I told her I was disappointed she just blew it off as the product and not the cut itself.

Great Service, Great People, Fun/Low-Key Salon

by lchitnis at Citysearch

I met with Allison for a consultation that lasted easily over a half hour, where she patiently listened to me while I rambled nebulously over what sort of cut I wanted. She presented a book of short haircuts to me and we both settled on the best look. I really enjoyed the service there from the awesome massage shampoo to the conversation I had with Allison while she cut my hair. Total service time: 1.5 hours. Although a bit out of my price range I realized that you get what you pay for. The in-between $15 touch-ups are awesome too, so that made my cut worth it. I will definitely go back and see Allison.

  • Pros: Amazing, professional, patient and cheerful service
  • Cons: For the price they should offer an array of refreshments
