My life is rather dull, so after most haircuts I’m typically headed to the grocery store or some other destination where good hair goes to waste. But this time, it’s New Year’s Eve and I’ve got a bona fide reason to get gussied up. My path to pretty starts with a tinter/permer. This itself this [...]
I’ll get right to the point here: Very funky. Very cool. Awesome location. Best hair cut ever. I was introduced to Steven Paul Salon by a friend who I ran into one fateful day at a local card shop. I actually didn’t recognize her at first because she had gone from a brunette to a [...]

Oh dear goddess of nails, please make my tootsies soft, coiffed and pretty. And it shall be done. For low and behold, Applause Salon is home to none other than … are you ready for this … Suzanne, the one and only Nail Goddess. She’s got a gift folks and if you’re ever anywhere near [...]
