I go to one & I love it! The hair color seems less damaging than conventional salons. It always smells great there, and the salon is so serene. I def recommend "waxing" there; they actually use sugar. I find that sugaring is kinder to my face than normal wax. Also, at the salon I go to (not sure about others), no one gets commission on product sales, so its more mellow & product recs are more honest.
