Since I've moved around a lot over the years, I'm constantly searching for a good salon. I've been to a lot of salons in BG and a few months ago found The Gallery online and decided to give it a try.The upside is that I called and was able to get a same-day appointment - awesome! The salon is well-maintained and the receptionist was very pleasant and friendly.I had Desiree for a haircut and color. She was very bubbly and seemed like a nice person. However, I had asked for my hair to be colored 'golden blonde', and it turned out kind of reddish. Now, fortunately I'm a flexible person when it comes to my hair and up for trying new things, and I happened to think that the red looked kind of cool. But it definitely was not what I asked for - and I think it was because she didn't choose the right color for my hair and didn't realize that the dye would take like it did. Also, I asked for a trim, with some long layers, but she didn't cut the layers properly. She was so nice that I didn't have the heart to tell her that my hair didn't turn out the way that I wanted. Besides, I was kind of afraid, at least where the color was concerned, to have her try to fix it. So, overall, the technical competency of the salon (or at least my particular stylist), was not up to par. However, at least it was very reasonably priced (I think it was around 80 or so for a color, cut and brow wax). But I think I probably won't go back....EDIT:Changed my review from 2 to 5 star. I did end up going back when I was in a pinch and desperately needed a cut & color (they were the only place that could fit me in on short notice). I had a different stylist - Kelly - and she was FANTASTIC! Friendly, sweet, and competent - she did my hair exactly how I wanted! :) I'm so glad I went back...my initial negative experience was totally overridden by this one! Read Less
