High Style offers both laser and hair salon services. I first learned about it through a Living Social deal, and after a couple of laser sessions decided to become a regular customer. I have gone to Meli for over a dozen laser treatments, and I am extremely pleased with the results. Meli is a warm, knowledgeable, and professional person with years of experience in the field. She has a medical background and clearly explains what will help you and what to expect with each session. I have gone to her to treat leg veins, remove leg and bikini hair, and now most recently, for laser facials. I am more confident than I have ever been in years during the spring and summer now since I don’t have to worry about dark hair growing in on my legs. I am also happier now that my leg veins are not nearly as noticeable anymore. In addition to the cosmetic benefits of laser hair removal, there is also the perk of time and water being saved by not having to shave often. I highly recommend Meli’s services and plan on being a customer for years to come. I had my first hair appointment with Xan a couple of weeks ago, and she gave me a really nice haircut and blow dry. I asked if I could get the cut done within my lunch hour, and she got the wash, cut and dry done in time as asked. Xan is friendly and professional and I will definitely be going back for future hair appointments.

I went to High Style yesterday with a Living Social Coupon for a keratin treatment. I’ve never had keratin done before so I wasn’t sure what to expect but, my stylist Xan was wonderful at making sure I understood the procedure and what would happen during, after, and how I would need to maintain it. I could tell she actually cared about my hair because she ended up explaining that my hair type wouldn’t really benefit much from just keratin. She recommended a Brazilian Blowout. I went with her suggestion and she did a great job, and my hair is soft, shiny and easily manageable. The salon itself is pretty small in the front with just two stylist stations but, this does help with privacy. I felt like I had the salon all to myself, like I was V.I.P. All in all, I had a good experience.

Kathi is A-MAZING! I’ve been going to her for almost two years now and always leave feeling like a million bucks — whether it’s my usual color, cut & blow dry or my semi-annual keratin treatment. We swap stories about our nephews and nieces and always have lots of laughs, so the time goes by much too quickly. Kathi says«I change lives», and I must say SHEDOES!

I just discovered this place and I have to tell you, I’m really picky about who I trust with my hair, but I LOVE Xan work and I am so happy to show off my hair cut each time I get it. I was looking for a place close to work who really understand the subtleties of how to cut men’s hair. I wanted something more stylish, edgier, but still professional. She really listens to what you want and does it perfect! She’s more of a visual person, so if you have a picture of a haircut you want, bring it and show it to her and she’ll do her talent! Highly recommended. Thanks XAN!

Got a voucher from Living Social for a $ 45 cut and color. While I was there I decided to get an eyebrow wax as well, so I could put the tip on my card. Here is the 411: The place is small and awkward. The hairdresser was pleasant but a bit scattered and didn’t seem to be entirely sure what she was doing. She seemed very new. She didn’t add much shape to my hair(and I couldn’t tell until it was dry, which she wasn’t able to do b/c she couldn’t find a diffuser that fit her blow drier). She put me under the full head drier which just made my hair poofy. The cream she put in it made it flat when I indicted that I like to keep my curl. The color was several shades lighter than I asked for(and had selected). She kept remarking how much she loved it– too bad it isn’t her hair! The wax was disappointing as well. It was done by Melly herself who noticed that my eyebrows need to grow in more in a few places. I have heard this before. But she did a very poor job getting the hairs. I had to pluck myself within 24 hours. My hair is light and I warn folks that they will need to do some plucking. Couldn’t imagine paying the«full» price of $ 90 for that service. Don’t even feel like I got my moneys worth at $ 45. Meh indeed!
