Athena Salon

When I first called someone answered the phone and didn’t say anything. I had to verify I had called the right place since it was not indicated by whomever answered the phone.
I asked if they performed body wave services and the girl who I was speaking with laughed and said «um you want a perm? Let me go ask» She kept putting me on hold and finally came back and told me they performed two different types — own that only lasted for a day or two and a chemical option that was more permanent. I told her I would like the latter service and asked about appointment availability. She put me on hold once again to «go ask» and when she came back she said I’d need to come in the upcoming weekend for a consult to decide which service I wanted (though I had already indicated which I wanted…) and then they could schedule the appointment for the weekend after. No thank you, the lack of customer service lost any chance of my business.

Went to Shelley, who is new here. Best massage of my life, hands down.

This is where I go to get my hair cut. Natalie is my stylist and she does an incredible job. She takes her time and is methodical with the cut and style of your hair (no need to worry about her taking more off than you want). The salon is always clean and the staff are always friendly, polite and professional. Money well spent!

Do I have to give them one star? I set up my appointment for 3:00pm. I got a phone call from them saying the stylist that I had an appointment with quit, so I rescheduled my appointment for 1:15pm as requested, no problem. I got there and waited, then waited, and waited some more. Finally I asked when I would be seen, it was 2:00pm. The receptionist said, «sorry, you’re next, maybe 15 more minutes.» I waited until 2:20 pm and just got tired of kids screaming and grabbing me. I scheduled an appointment with another salon, canceled my appointment and left. I waisted all that time being screamed at by children in a small waiting area. I picked this place because of the good reviews, in hindsight I think Athena Salon either wrote their own reviews, or they got family and friends to do so. I would not recommend this place, well maybe if I wanted you to suffer, then I would.

I’ve been going to this salon since a horrible experience at a different (non-​Aveda) salon in town. The stylists there are truly artists and can work with any type of hairstyle and make you look absolutely fabulous. Sarah is one of the most patient people when it comes to my way, thin, unwilling-​to-​cooperate-​at-​times hair. Casey always provides a unique and relaxing experience in both her massages and facials. Everyone is always friendly, even during their busiest times. Their monthly emails with discounts and news are like clockwork. I highly recommend this salon to anyone who needs a fantastic salon.
