Heather at Dolce Vita Hair Salon

I have had more bad haircuts than I can count. One dismal experience after another with stylists who didn't listen to me and cut deep layers in my hair (why do they always do that?!) or cut too much or cut unevenly. You know exactly what I mean when I remind you of that horrible sinking feeling you have when you leave the salon feeling unattractive and ripped off yet again.

So, it's with profound happiness I report that I just had my third appointment at Dolce Vita Hair Salon and I'm pleased, so pleased! My stylist is the salon owner, Heather (in the interest of disclosure she is an advertiser of the magazine). Heather is a sweet as can be, with a personality that is perfect for the job. She's calm, personable and an interesting conversationalist. And, boy can she do her job! 

I have fine, limp hair that needs special care. Heather has been helping me move it along from a short cut to a shoulder length layered one step by step. She's clearly listening to me and it's nice to have "in between" hair that looks good. A huge bonus: Heather is an expert colorist. I have no idea what the term is for how she colors my hair but she blends several rich brown shades to create a weave of color that looks natural and shiny without that highlighted look that seems dated. 

I want to mention that the customer service at the salon is excellent. Doug manages the salon and is very thorough and competent. He calls you the day before to remind you of the appointment, is sure to offer you a cold drink when you're in the chair and generally caters to your needs in a quiet, relaxing way. The salon is simple and comfortable and conveniently located in the KMart shopping center on 41.

You can reach Heather at 659-0600. Tell her Andrea sent you.
