New to the Area - You found your salon!!!

by atilk at Citysearch

One of the worst things about moving is finding a new hairstylist - colorist when you had the best in your old home town of Los Angeles. In L.A. my hairstylist was stylist/colorist to Nancy O'Dell - from Access Hollywood etc...etc...etc... many stars and I've been with her for over 10 years. I love her so much that I fly back to L.A. to get my hair done - no joke! Now I'm living in Houma, LA - very small town and I really don't trust anyone to do my hair....however, it's been 7 months since I've gotten my hair colored and it's needed and I don't have time to fly back to L.A......so I started researching New Orleans - read a lot of reviews on line - including the ones you're reading now and after I saw that Dallas won best colorist in 2009 I took the chance - made the appt. and got my hair done TODAY. Can I tell you how AWESOME Dallas is???? Can I tell you how DETAILED he is?????? I told him my I normally have 3 highlights and One Low Light applied to my hair...he looks at it and says "I can match that".....PLUS he went and not only colored the roots - but pulled some strands all the way through - colored the whole strand to get the colors even through the hair....it's BEAUTIFUL....NATURAL...it's perfect! I was hoping for "just don't screw it up" - and got....maybe better than L.A.???? Then the cut is fab.....again exactly what I wanted - he blew it out and I left salon beautiful!!! What a great feeling to have found a new home away from home!!!

• Pros: Color and Cut - Crazy Good
• Cons: Little Pricey - but worth it.

Lovely escape, great services

by bevers at Citysearch

The atmosphere provides a quiet escape from the work day. The salon is not chatty or noisy, but relaxing and calming with soft colors and soft music. D'Shay has cut my hair a couple of times after she was recommended by a friend whose hair style I really liked. D'Shay is gentle with the shears, and does very skilled short haircuts. She also gives good advice as to what style will work with your own hair. If a photo of a hairstyle takes a lot of product to achieve the look, she'll say so so that you know what you are getting into and won't be disappointed the first time you try to style it yourself. I started with too short hair and she has been working with me to grow out the layers so I can get the style I want, but even after the first haircut, I started getting compliments on how good my hair looked.

• Pros: Location in the CBD, expert stylists
• Cons: none, so far

Great Experience

by DReinlieb at Citysearch

This was the haircut before my wedding and my first at this salon so naturally I was a little nervous. I expressed the importance of the haircut to Deshea on the phone and again when I got to the salon. She took the time to see how I styled my hair, discuss products, talked about how I normally get it cut, dry it, my last haircut, etc, etc...It was a full analysis! She gave me great conversation and a fantastic haircut. This is the result of her experience and willingness to take the time; she cared enough to get it right - not rush me out of the salon for her next appointment like so many do. I'll be seeing her for as long as I live in New Orleans.

• Pros: Very friendly staff, non intimidating atmosphere

I love this place!

by Seek Balance at Citysearch

I followed DeShea from another salon a couple of years ago. I hope she doesn't go anywhere else because I would be torn as to whether follow her or stay here!

DeShea is an awesome stylist, but I really like everyone there. Everyone's really friendly and I like the salon itself. Dallas has a really good thing going!

• Pros: Awesome staff
• Cons: Wish it was closer to my house
