Salon on Crescent (Homewood)

I have had so many rave reviews from my last haircut and new salon...that I am flabergasted. I have given out seven cards just to family members...(not to mention friends and others) who could not wait to meet my hair artist. Every one of my aunts (4- big Sicilian family)whom were HUGE Salon 280 mavens..quickly ran over to Salon on Crescent where Kristen Buckelew works her magic !!!! She is amazing. Kristen believes in personal service all the way!! i have had my hair cut at Oak Street and all the other "it" salons....I was even offered free hair care by Angel Hair....no way would I cheat on Kristen !!!! I followed her from A&W.....trust me it is serious...dare I say love and adoration?!

She is the best kept secret in Birmingham. I hope I have not messed up my ability to get an appointment!!

Blue Velvet Salon (Mountain Brook)

Some stylists just know. They know you really don't have any idea what you hair "should" look like - and they know that what you're used to is all wrong.

Unfortunately, most of the time your stylist says "trust me", you're headed for big trouble. But, if you're lucky, you might be sitting in the chair of a stylist who actually does know better. If this happens, hang on to that stylist like your life depended on it. Because it does - bad hair leads to premature death (seriously, I read that somewhere...on the Internet).

Cherie at Blue Velvet Salon is one of those in "the know".

Triple Platinum Salon (Lakeview area)

A few reasons to visit Triple Platinum Salon:

1) Cool name

2) The owner has a sweet car (which we've since learned is a Lotus Elise)

3) It's close to your home / work (salon is on Clairmont within a few miles of UAB)

4) Mike Hale gives a solid cut (at least men's cut) in less than 20 minutes

Logan's Village Salon on SoHo (Homewood)

Who in the heck is Lamar? Today, I (Jason) met with Logan Greene at his salon (Logan's Village Salon on SoHo) to discuss getting listed with salonfly. Unfortunately, when he answered the door, I cheerfully greeted him with "Hey, Lamar".

No, that's not his name (and no, he didn't think it was funny). Sorry, Amy, I think I blew that sales call.

So who is Lamar? And what's he doing in my head? I don't have a bloody clue. At first, I thought it might be the PBS Reading Rainbow guy - turns out his name is actually "LeVar" (and that he's also the Star Trek guy with the weird sunglasses). So I'm stumped. Lamar, if you're out there, post a comment so I can move on with life.

And oh yeah, Logan's salon was a funky little place. And the owner is definitely an interesting dude. If you've been, please post a comment - I'd love to hear about your experience.
