Short story: I have cut my own hair for years (right now it's very long, so I don't just want someone to chop like crazy behind my head,.. shudders..), it always looks great but I really wanted to go get my hair done by someone else (also loving the idea of someone else washing my hair).. So I googled places in Ottawa, I depend a lot on other peoples reviews and I know there are others like me, the reviews helped me to make up my mind...so here you go.
I went down for my appointment, was stuck in traffic so I called them, they didn't make me feel bad even one bit! I showed up 20 minutes late (sorry!) and I was shaking inside trying to describe to her what I wanted with this service, it's soooo hard to exactly describe hair styles, so I took my time and probably was babbling. Maria was warm, very welcoming and took the time to listen to me before she even picked up the scissors.
I was cautious and told her that I'm nervous and I need her to be descriptive about what and when she's doing something..lol, she never made me feel rushed and was very attentive.
---shampoo, conditioning, massage, blow dry & style---
Maria listened to exactly what I wanted, made great suggestions and took the time to go slow and make me feel at ease during the whole process. My hair looks AMAZING! It's still long & beautiful, soft and I feel great..
Thank you Maria & Thank you Hair Boutique!
I cannot vouch for the others, as some reviewers have, but I def suggest seeing Maria. I know I will be seeing her for sure!
