Green Room Eco Salon & Spa

"I needed to have my hair styled for my daughter's wedding, being held in the area on a Sunday. I could not find anyone in the Scott's Valley/Felton area that was open on Sunday, so I scheduled with Mara on Saturday afternoon. I explained my predicament of having to get my hair styled a day prior to the wedding and expressed how important it was that the curls held out overnight. We discussed a product to be used; one that had kept my hair impressively curled throughout a day of heavy rainfall (at my son's wedding), and I shared a photo of how it looked. Mara didn't carry that particular product, so I provided it myself. I shared with her what the stylist had told me in regard to how she used the product on that day with such great success. Although I had an enjoyable visit with Mara (she made me feel comfortable and relaxed, and offered me some lovely tea to help me de-stress...), this review is strictly about how my hair turned out... Two weeks earlier, I had my hair curled for a friend's wedding and was charged only $35. Mara charged me $75 for the same service. She was hesitant to use a lot of the product on my hair, for fear that it would "weigh the curls down"... and the curls were not full enough. Two hours later...(rehearsal and dinner following), my hair was mostly flat from the foggy conditions, with just barely a wave to it. Needless to say, on the day of the wedding, my hair looked like it does every day; stringy and flat. I did not have time to use a curling iron prior to the wedding. I will say that this was an unusual situation with unusual circumstances, but Mara never lead me to believe that it wouldn't be possible to preserve some curl overnight, and, especially with the previous experience I had where, despite heavy exposure to wet conditions, my hair remained full and curled, (even overnight!), I was hopeful.... It was a lot of $$ to spend, and come away as if I hadn't styled my hair at all."
