I'm what you might call a ""late bloomer."" I didn't really get in to going to a salon until I had graduated college and was entering graduate school. With a desire to reinvent myself and the help a super-chic friend, I made my way to an Aveda salon. I was spoiled by the treatment I received and how professional all the employees were. When I moved to Knoxville, the first thing I did was find another Aveda salon. I first went to the West Town Mall. Well, I was not impressed with the employees or the services especially at their cost, so I did not return. I went almost two years before I tried another Aveda salon again. I went a few times, but it just never felt right. It seemed that every time I went in, they couldn't find my information or the way it was cut the last time, despite the fact that the same woman cut my hair each time! Needless to say, I was disappointed especially after having had such remarkable Aveda service before. My husband gave me a gift certificate for spa services this Easter, so I set my appointment for a massage with Spa Visage. The massage was great, and I'd recommend Brennan to anyone! I wanted to get my hair done also, and my Aveda stylist was booked, so I went out on a limb and scheduled services with Salon Visage. Let me tell you, the first experience was fantastic. This salon has everything you expect and then some. I went in desperately needing some pampering, and after the massage, I didn't think it could get much better, but it totally did! First, I met with my stylist, Taylor, for a consultation. I brought in a picture of something I liked, and Taylor took those elements and gave me a stylish cut that has done wonders for my appearance. It takes a lot of guts to let someone you just met cut 9 inches off your hair, but Taylor was incredibly professional with her consultation, and the confidence she had in her ability to turn my frumpy locks into a fantastic coif was exactly what I needed to trust her. I also met with Dylan for color, and this was the best color I've ever had, hands down. I've also received many compliments on my color from other colorists. Since my first visit, I've been back a second time over last weekend, and I can definitely see myself becoming a 6-week regular. For those of you who want a stylist you can trust and who will remember you from one visit to the next, I would definitely recommend Salon Visage. For those of you who need pampering to stay looking professional and stylish, I would 100% recommend Salon Visage. For the woman who wants to stay stylish on a budget, I will say that I live VERY frugally, and I can still afford to come in for a cut and color every 6 weeks. You have to make YOU a priority, and Salon Visage will take care of the pampering. The wonderful treatment and services at Salon Visage is matched by the products they sell. At other salons, I've felt like the stylists were part-time car salesmen with how hard they pushed complicated products. As a low-maintenance kind of person, I never saw the benefit of paying an arm and a leg to ADD time to my daily routine. Well, the professionals at Salon Visage only recommend products they are actually using on your hair, and they take the time to show you how to use them. The products at Salon Visage are competitively priced, but they're simple, which is what I love most. As of my last visit, I purchased the entire line of Bare Escentuals makeup that the artists at Salon Visage use for their complimentary make up services, and I love my skin and how simple it is for me to do my makeup now! So, for those of you who've been complementing my haircut and makeup lately, it's all due to the Visage group! Take some time for yourself and pay them a visit at their Downtown West Blvd location.
