In my search for a hair salon, not owned by a chain, not in a mall, has led me to the Image salon, a short distance from my house. I figured that I would try the closest to the house and see what they had to offer. I called for an appointment, and was scheduled with Carol. It was the best hair cut in a while, a price at the top end of my budget(but hey, I am worth it), a great experience and Carol is a very talented stylist. She took the time to talk with me about what I wanted, about how I took care of my hair, what tools I wanted to use(um, hair dryer and fingers?), and gave me a look I love, the ease that I wanted, and is funny. There are salons out there that when you walk in, you feel as if you are intruding into a private party — Image by Devin isn’t that place. I felt welcomed, I was included in conversations and enjoyed the whole visit. Searching for a new salon is challenging and sometimes scarey. I think I lucked into it being so close to home.
