so not snooty
by meadowhawk
i'm a bit lazy when it comes to hair maintenance, but i've been to solari over the past few years about a half a dozen times. even though my hair needs vary--from simple trims to color advice to drastic changes in style--i have been so very pleased with the results every time. one striking occurrence has been the honest professionalism of the staff. they aren't afraid to make creative or money-saving suggestions, yet they listen and do EXACTLY what i want. i always emerge from solari feeling beautiful and refreshed. and even though i emerge only sporadically (given my own negligent hair upkeep) the staff make me feel like i belong. they even showed me how to cut my own new bangs. they are so not snooty.

Sooo Nice
by zbrogan
Visiting my parents on summer break and came in for a haircut not expecting to get in but they took me right away and were so nice and pleasant you can tell they all really like what they are doing there because they do it so well. I think they have special training for great shamppoos there because I felt like a new person after just the shamppoo. the lady gave me a great scalp massage and some tips on keeping my hair in good condition. all the people there were really nice and looked like they were having a good time and I got a great haircut. I only wanted a light trim, and that's what I got plus some really bouncy long layers and sidebangs that look awesome. most places take off inches but the lady ''truly'' listened to me and did only do a trim but still gave me a beautiful style I can't say enough about how great this place is and how nice the poeple are. everything smells so good and I left feeling beautiful. Thank you ladies I will be back for more and can't wait to get that new color we talked about!!! no more mall cuts for me I am hooked on the aveda cuts now!

Left there in tears....
by summerbride
I had the worst hair experience of my life at Solari. I went in for a trial updo for my wedding. Upon arrival I confirmed the stylist I was scheduled with was going to be available on my wedding day (I had already confirmed this once, when I made the appt). As it turns out, she was not, and was leaving the salon in the coming weeks. The stylist was standing there when I found this out, and felt terribly that the staff had not informed me, and asked another stylist to do my hair. I was perfectly fine with this----but this is where it went wrong. The stylist who was now doing my hair CLEARLY was either forced into it or did not want to be there. I explained that I wanted a simple, loose updo with a side part---and as I am describing to her what I?d like she interrupted me several times as if I weren?t even talking. After the first time of doing my hair (which was nothing like what I described), I reiterated what I wanted, and she became immediately frustrated, and stated that she ?just can?t do? what I want. She was rude, condescending, and appeared to not care about what she was doing. After doing my hair four times (none of them being even close to what I described, or with a side part) I mentioned the side part again. Her response was ?yes, I heard you the first 5 times?. This woman never listened to a thing I said, let alone hearing something 5 times. She had no idea what my headpiece was (it is a simple head band) and she yanked it out of my hand and said ?uh?so, what are we doing with this?? looking at it like a foreign object. Never in my life have I been treated so poorly in a situation like this. She ended up putting my hair in a ?bun? type style, I paid and left. I was devastated leaving the salon, and was in tears.
