Truthfully, I've never been a salon girly. 😂 I can probably count on one hand the number of times I've been to a salon in my entire life—this was probably only my third time ever. I also hadn't had a trim in about three years, so I was definitely overdue and decided it was time to get my hair back together!
I booked with Estacia Beauty for a wash, blow-dry, and trim, and the online booking process was super easy. I did have a question before my appointment, so I reached out through Instagram, and they were very quick and responsive, which I really appreciated.
My appointment was at 7 a.m., and she was on time and ready for me when I arrived. The salon is a small, intimate space, which I actually really liked. It's clean, modern, and has a really nice atmosphere. She also had a good playlist going, which added to the vibe.
I ended up adding a protein treatment to my service, and I'm glad I did. She was very knowledgeable, and whenever I had questions about my hair, she was able to answer them and give me helpful recommendations. She suggested products and brands to use, as well as things I could incorporate into my wash routine and overall hair care between appointments.
While she was blow-drying my hair, she also showed me where my damaged/dead ends were and asked if I was comfortable with how much she needed to trim. I really appreciated that, especially since I hadn't had a trim in years. It made me feel more comfortable knowing what she was cutting and why.
Overall, I really enjoyed the experience. I liked her, I liked the space, and I really enjoyed the atmosphere. Considering I'm definitely not a salon person, I felt really comfortable throughout the appointment, which says a lot!
I actually went ahead and booked my next appointment a few months out because she does stay pretty booked! I'm going back for a silk press and another trim, and I'm excited.
I also love that she has a good range of appointment times, including 7 a.m. appointments and later times, which makes scheduling convenient.
Overall, I'm really happy I found Estacia Beauty. As someone who doesn't normally go to salons, I had a really positive experience and I'm looking forward to going back! 💕
