STYLISH/EDGY HAIR SALON

by LBJ1

I went to Shine b/c of the rave reviews I had read. I needed a change from my previous stylist who was in a total rut w/my hair. I decided I wanted to go short--a "stylish bob" was what I had in mind. I made an appt w/Sarah, (she has a rave review in the Nashville Scene) and she did an amazing job. It's such a fresh cut. It looks better than I could have imagined. Sarah also has an amazing personality--very enjoyable to talk to. The other stylists were friendly and complimentary of my new "do" as well. I would highly recommend this salon. The only downfall is location--Green Hills traffic is so awful, especially on Sat, and right after work. The parking is limited as well. Otherwise, no complaints! I plan to send my husband to Sarah as well. :)

• Pros: talented stylists
• Cons: parking/traffic, a little expensive, DIFFICULT TO GET APPT

I love the salon Shine, the atmosphere is friendly and fun. It's very relaxing, and I love the fact that they don't juggle clients, yet they always seem to find a way to fit me in. I always love my cut and color and Melanie ROCKS!!!

• Pros: Great service, ambience, and friendly service.

Being new in town, I decided to try Shine based on the excellent reviews. Suzanne was booked for months, however, so I let them pick a stylist for me.

The salon was nice, but the area around my stylist's chair was not cleaned before I arrived, nor was it cleaned at any point during my visit. There was a LOT of hair. This may have been because my stylist was sick and didn't feel like cleaning up. She said she felt like she had the flu. I wish she would've just postponed our appt.

My haircut was fine. She offered no suggestions on anything new, so I just went with a very basic cut. I then had a single-process color that, again, was fine. Definitely not the best I've had. I spent nearly $200 and it was not worth that. I won't be going back.

• Pros: good location; prompt service; no pressure to purchase products
• Cons: not clean; haircut and color weren't great; expensive
