I went to the Eva Salon today as they were one of the few places open. Although my hair came out okay, I'm very frustrated over the way their staff (other than the woman working on my hair treated us as CUSTOMERS. I am looking to find if there is anyone else who has been there who may have also been treated VERY UNPROFESSIONALLY, not to mention having to change Station Three Times w/one being a direct attack from Alise who appeared to have arrived late to inform (in not so kind of a manner and right in front of me) the ONLY NICE ONE THERE(THE NICE ONE'S NAME WAS INGRID - SHE WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL AND VERY NICE AND I REALLY HOPE SHE MOVES TO A DIFFERENT SALON BEFORE I COME BACK TO BELLINGHAM) that she was in "HER STATION." My daughter mentioned how rude we thought that of her and then she got into it with my daughter, REMEMBER WE WERE THE CUSTOMERS THERE and told her "she didn't need her attitude so she could get out" when my daughter had a approached her in a very peaceful and civil manner when she just said "you have a hair on your nose," and continued to YELL BLATLANTLY at the same time. As my hair was already being processed (and that didn't come out as I had requested either and ended up costing a small fortune) I couldn't actually get up and walk out or I DEFINITELY WOULD HAVE. As it is, fortunately they didn't get to my daughter at the appointment time requested so she simply DIDN'T CONTRIBUTE ANY MORE $ to this very rude and unprofessional establishment. I just thought I would both seek advice and place a fair warning - last time I visited my daughter here in Bellingham, we went to the Cat & Fiddle in Fairhaven and they did a TERRIFIC JOB, it didn't appear they were open or we would have definitely made that choice but I fly out tomorrow so wanted to get it done today....fortunately the day now seems to have turned around for us both.
Hope all made it through the ice/snow of the last few days here - it's been great seeing snow, my it falls fast and melts fast here - alas, memories of Texas Winters growing up to say the least... & Beautiful - man the snow is beautiful 4 sure.
Thanks for your comments/recommendations on other salons, etc.

Re: Salon Stories - Just Say No to Eva Salon.
Wed, March 5, 2008 - 3:32 PMOh my!! So sorry you had a bad experience!! Nothing worse than a bad hair experience. next time you are in Bellingham I urge you to try Aveda-'Sandalwood' Salon & Spa. Our stylists all have over 15 years experience and are very kind and professinal. I myself am a stylist there currently on maternity leave until July 08'. I'd be more than happy to accomodate you & your daughter anytime. I suggest booking appointments in advance though. In general, last minute appointments often result in getting an inexperienced stylist. not always but mostly. It's worth planning in advance. so, consider giving us a try. you will be relaxed, listened to, and made to feel like a guest. Haircuts come with a complimentary aroma scalp massage. :) treat yourself to a chair massage w/ service for 15.00!
hope to see you sometime.

Tue, May 27, 2008 - 9:30 AMThanks Juels, we'll def. keep you guys in mind, we love having our hair done together when we visit, I'm currently planning a trip up your way in the next month or two so I'll let you know how it looks and we'll give a call in advance 4 sure.
I'm so thrilled w/your kind message, I'm going to forward a copy to my daughter so she can see how nice and kind you are = I'm not sure if she's ever been to your salon or not but I'm sure the Chair Massages and Hair Styling are both top knotch ;).
Cheers.
