I found it very interesting that so many people have left negative reviews about Panache because all of my experiences here have been positive. However, I have gone to the same hair stylist for the past five years and she has yet to fail me! So, I suppose this review is more-so about my specific stylist here than it is the salon as a whole. But with that in mind, I've never experienced any of the issues mentioned in other reviews regarding scheduling, staff, or their front desk employees.Hair: I've been going to Aimee Katsma for the past 5 years, and as I mentioned in the paragraph prior, she has yet to let me down. I have had her give me bangs, cut my hair into a bob, take me blonde, dye my bangs brown and the rest of my hair blonde (sounds crazy, but look at the picture--it was COOL), and do balayage on my hair. Each time she has ever put scissors or color to my hair, I have left giddy and feeling beautiful! (Side note: Aimee is known for being a ninja with blonde hair! A ton of my friends go to her and I've only ever heard positive things about how their hair has turned out. I've also seen her take ethnic hair to platinum. Given, this is a process that takes place over months--but still, she can do it!)Price: (This is where my rating drops 1 star) I will agree with this point in other people's reviews. Panache is a bit on the spendy side. For cut and color, I've spent between $80 and $160, depending on how crazy I'm getting. My recommendation would be that if you have a budget you want to stay within, explicitly state it to your stylist before they start mixing that color!Atmosphere: This salon is super cozy and beautifully kept inside. They also serve you coffee or tea when you arrive and wait in the reception area. Score! Read Less
