User Reviews for Umi Salon

I went to Umi for a haircut model call. I had short hair, bob style, and so the only haircut that they could get from that was a pixie cut. Angela gave me the haircut. She was professional, had gentle hands, and did a great job. My friends say I look younger, but need my hair colored (I guess my natural hair color of dark blond is not that stylish). All stylists were personally supervised by the owner and two more senior stylists, and it looked like they were judging the American Idol contest (not cheesy, just very attentive to minute details). Also, at the reception there was Laura, the person who was responsible for model call (email her if interested, preferably with a picture of current look). She was professional, friendly, attentive and had a killer haircut. I have no problems with Umi, and would go there again, but only for model call, as I cannot afford anything over $50. I guess if the haircut was $400, I would not rate the experience that high, but then again the only thing I would buy for that kind of money would be a plasma TV or a trip to Mexico, so what haircut can compare to that?

Pros: ambience, service

Cons: price list

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Umi Salon was a perfect fit for me. It's ultra clean, the styling is meticulous, and the staff is thorough and perfectly accomodating.
