The Right Place For Finding The Right Pros Near You!
It really proves how wonderful Elevation Studio is when a non-morning person sets her alarm, wakes up early, and attends multiple morning classes while on vacation.
So, I initially was seeking a hairstylist on Block Island to do an updo for me for a wedding I was attending over the weekend. There was only a limited number of salons and stylists since the island is so small. I came across Clayhead Spa and a few others but ultimately choose to contact Clayhead due to the great reviews online. There were 9 weddings on the island that weekend and it worked out that since I was going early, I was lucky to get an appointment with Michael on Friday, at this point abandoning the idea of an updo. (No stylists were available on Saturday as they were all doing work for the weddings.) At this point, I was going for broke-cut and color, I would worry about the frizz tomorrow. The spa is beautiful and I cannot even begin to describe the view from the chair. Michael introduced himself and I was immediately putty, I gave him carte blanche…..do what you think is going to make me look like me look my best. And he did not disappoint!! I got a great cut and the color is amazing, I got a ton of compliments when I got to wedding and especially when I got home. The cut is versatile and so easy to manage. I am typically completely inept when it comes to styling my own hair, but this I can do easily (in spite of the fact that I told Michael I was going to kidnap him and have him do my hair every day.) You know that just out of the salon feeling, girls, I was walking down Water Street like a celebrity. And then there was Michael’s French bulldog, Dorothy Pickles, who hangs around the salon. She was the cutest damn dog (and I am a cat person), maybe it was because she was so small and cuddly and definitely loved sitting on your lap. She sat with me the whole time my color was processing; it was like pet therapy. I thoroughly recommend seeking Michael out whenever you are on Block Island. And in the winter, he heads to NYC and lucky for me, I live in CT, so I will be making the trips down to see him there. P.S. Since Michael also did an extra process of glazing my hair following the color, the frizz never came!!
Kinga is kind, sweet, and the BEST at her job. She gave me the best haircut I have ever had in my life (no exaggeration). It’s amazing to leave a hair salon feeling beautiful and satisfied. I will go back for dying my hair there as well. Thank you Kinga, you are a genius! ❤️
Johnny was super personable and we really appreciated all the pictures he took for us. I think a helpful FYI is that the beach ride was done entirely at a walk due to the terrain; apparently the nature preserve trail ride is more for trotting/cantering.
My wife and I had pedicures before our wedding, the staff were wonderful and the office space / view is beautiful.
