I moved to Lexington in 2005 and needed to highlight my hair again. I would stop random people with good highlights and ask where they got their hair done. Most of them said they went home (somewhere other that Lexington) to get their hair done. Finally, I found someone who got her hair done here. She said she went to Tom at Planet Salon. I called and asked about pricing, which was a little more than I could afford being on a grad student stipend, but I made the appointment anyway...and I am sooooo glad I did. Tom did the best job anyone has ever done on my highlights, but that wasn't the thing that amazed me the most. I have wavy/curly hair that I straighten and, although I've had some good colorists before, they would always try to do some 80s hot-rolled curly mess. (If I came in with straight hair, what makes you think I want to leave any other way?) I was used to leaving the salon with pretty good highlights but a less than stellar hairstyle, and then going home to style it myself...until Tom. The color was perfect (looked like the blonde highlights grew right out of my scalp) and the style was amazing!!!!!! It was so straight and so smooth; it was better than when I style it. So, about a month ago, this poor grad student couldn't afford Planet Salon at the moment, but I wanted highlights anyway. I decided to go somewhere else because it was cheaper. Well, let's just say I'll never "cheat" on Tom again. My hair looked awful!! She left about 1/2" of roots showing and she did the 80s hot-rolled thing even though I came in with straight hair. So, after saving a little money, I went back to Tom. And, of course, my hair looks FABULOUS!!! Some people think Planet Salon is overpriced, but I think you get what you pay for. It may be considered "expensive" to someone like a grad student, but overpriced?? No way!! Tom is worth EVERY cent!! I'll never stray again.....
Pros: You'll never leave dissatisfied.
Cons: A little expensive but totally worth it!!
