Salon Experience at L U X A V E D A

Hello friends!

Today I have exciting news to share to you! I cut all my hair! During the spring/summer time I like to cut my hair shorter because of the weather. I was also getting tired of my hair and needed something new. I don't really have a problem with different people cutting my hair, if something is happening where I'm not happy with it I POINT IT OUT, but honestly, I've never had to. Haircuts can be expensive for a lady, some average 50-60 dollars, and as a student I have to count all my pennies. I've been eyeing this Groupon since last year! It's a 50$ voucher towards any style service at Lux Aveda Salon in Downtown Fullerton. Besides the killer deal on this Groupon, I was elated to find a Salon that was completely cruelty free! Aveda products are certified cruelty free! I made my appointment ahead of time for earlier this afternoon and went in without washing my hair.

H A I R  I N S P O:

I wanted to cut my hair short, like really short in my standards. I used to have super long hair and I cut it short but never this short.

My number one inspiration for my hair cut was Diane Guerrero. I wanted something short but with movement and face framing layers. I didn't want anything blunt and I jokingly told my hair dresser, Julian, I didn't want to end up like Lord Farquaad.

T H E  S A L O N:

I usually get to appointments at least 20 minutes early, I like to take my time and not feel rushed when going to appointments and it gives myself and whoever I'm getting with some wiggle room. As I entered I was greeted by a lovely lady and asked if I wanted any complimentary tea or water, but I kindly declined. (surprisingly) I was a few minutes early and I walked around their store where they had all their products displayed and then I finally met my stylist Julian. Julian knew exactly hat he was doing from the beginning to the end. We started with a consultation and I showed him Diane's photo and gave him an idea of what I wanted. He was honestly the sweetest. We went to the shampoo station and he applied a mask as well. Afterwards we went back to the chair and got a quick complimentary head and neck massage that felt sooooo good. I didn't expect this level of spa treatment at all! Julian was the absolute sweetest, it was like talking to a friend the whole time. I felt comfortable and he knew what he was doing so I let him work his magic with the scissors. I was literally beaming from the inside when he was finishing up my hair. It was exactly what I wanted! I booked an appointment with him again six months from now, because after this experience I was definitely coming back.
