I was provided complimentary services to review this salon. All opinions are my own.
Fall is always a time where I go spruce up my locks. I think it dates back to my school days, where every fall I’d get a new haircut to prepare for the school year! Well this year, I got to try out a new place in town – it’s Camille Albane Paris Salon in Maple Grove, MN. This salon is only one of two in the U.S. (the other in Boston) as it originated in, you guessed it, Paris, France.
The salon has an upscale feel with some pretty remarkable features. For one, the shampoo bowls have massage chairs… I had to stop and think, is this real life? I just about fell asleep. In fact, I told Tami (my stylist) that if I fell asleep to just wake me up when we were done.
Another thing I loved about the salon is their gorgeous, posh pink chairs. And they were comfy at that! Everything else was white. The counters, the walls, etc. This comes from the Paris founders, and helps to portray their large mission with is cleanliness.
I had decided on a cut and color. My roots were definitely getting bad, and they needed some freshening up. My cut was out-grown and in definite need of a clean-up! Tami took on the challenge as a grain of salt and hit it out of the park. She did a truly Parisian treatment on me, which is called a balayage. This term in French translates to the phrase ‘to paint’, which in this circumstance is painting my hair! It didn’t require any foils or any hot heaters on my head. Instead it only took a little bowl of color and a little brush to paint on the color. Easy peasy and pain-free!
I made sure to take a little before and after photo to share with you guys…
After my hair was done, she even touched up my makeup which was looking a little rough as it was after a long day at work! Doesn’t it look so much better?
I wish I could have a personal hair and makeup stylist everyday, I think that would really make my life easier 🙂
