Great Salons

by TG4LYFE at Citysearch

I won't say I do or do not work at a Toni&Guy Salon, for obvious reasons, but I will say I have great insider information about this salon. First of all for those of you who complained about the service at Barton Creek, I will agree with you because I may or may not have worked there at one point and even as an employee or non-employee I was not treated very nicely. For the person that complained about the blonde gay male at Lakeline, he is no longer working there. If you go to a Toni&Guy salon presently, I would recommend getting your stylist or color technician's cell phone numbers in case they leave T&G. Otherwise you will never find out where they moved to, because yes the Toni&Guy staff is not allowed to tell anyone where previous employess have gone, and they are required to recommend a new stylist at Toni&Guy for you to go to. If you would like recommendations for stylists and color technicians I am going to list their names and reasons to go to them right here, and I will also name any cons of each. STYLISTS!!!!!!!!

April- Awesome personality as well as great stylist. She is not one of the few product pushers at the salon. I would definitely recommend her for your whole family although she is a higher range stylist, and is therefore a little pricey.

Ramses-One of the most rad dudes in the salon as well as being amazing with curly hair especially since he has SUPER curly hair himself. He's so down to earth and will talk your head off, but also listen to your requests. He is a middle of the range price.

Ruby-Store manager and has a great personality. She has tattoos and that obviousy makes her cool =] She is super nice and knows what she's doing. She used to manage in Arizona where a ton of the corporate salons are located, so she knows what she's doing for sure. Antonio- AWESOME AWESOME personality. I've told him multiple times and also told other people this as well. HE IS THE MOST MARKETABLE STYLIST AT THE SALON RIGHT NOW. He has been doing hair since he was 19 in New York, but when you start at Toni&Guy, you automatically start out at the bottom. SO!!! That means that Antonio is basically giving upper level cuts for a lower level price. DO IT.

Christopher-Awesome guy. Knows what he's doing. Down to earth. Great with the ladies haha because he's in good shape and has long hair...kinda like Faubio.

Ashley-Great girl who also knows what she's doing. She gets grouchy if she doesn't havea lunch though.

COLOR TECHNICIANS!!!

Levi-He's fast, professional, listen's to what you want which is very very important when dealing with color. He's also got a great personality and what people would call a beautiful soul.

Adolf-He's about the same level of experience as Levi and also very good, but not as strikingly as fast as Levi. He's also really nice and good at listening.

There are a TON of new color technicians at LAKELINE, and Alondra is an up and coming amazing color tech. Some of them are transfers from other salons out of state, and some are brand new, just out of school, but they still know what they are doing. Toni&Guy DOES have a very high standard for ALL of it's employees.

I HOPE ALL OF THIS OR SOME OF THIS WAS HELPFUL! ...OH! and Clayton is AMAZING! He's not a stylist or color tech yet, but he's great to talk to!!!

NONE OF THE STYLISTS I NAMED WILL PUSH PRODUCTS ON YOU. THERE IS ONLY ONE PRODUCT PUSHER AT THE LAKELINE SALON AND I WILL NOT NAME HIM/HER. IF A STYLIST EVER DOES THIS TO YOU, YOU SHOULD TALK TO THE STORE MANAGER OR CORPORATE ABOUT IT BECAUSE THEY ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT CAN DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. TO BE HONEST MOST OF THE STYLISTS AND COLOR TECHNICIANS HAVE REBELLED AGAINST THIS TECHNIQUE BECAUSE THEY CARE ABOUT THEIR CLIENTS AND DO NOT WANT TO LOSE THEIR BUSINESS. CORPORATE AND THE STORE MANAGERS ARE THE ONES PUTTING THE PRESSURE ON THE STYLISTS TO DO THIS. MANY OF THE EMPLOYEES HATE IT BUT ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SAY ANYTHING....KEEP THESE DETAILS IN MIND

• Pros: Great staff, friendly, Professional
• Cons: Certain stylists are pushy with products

where's christina?

by jsf2009 at Citysearch

Does anyone know where Christina went? She did a great job cutting fine hair. I believe she was a manager there, too. All of sudden she's gone and no one can give me a follow up as to where she went to now.

• Pros: latest techniques/styles
• Cons: price/poor customer service

Cig is at Salon Aqua Blue

by monicah1979 at Citysearch

He rocks! Toni and Guy are at a total loss without him! He started cutting my hair when he worked at Toni & Guys and when he left, I settled on getting haircuts from other places, not going back to Toni and guys. Nobody cuts hair like Cig. He is pro, ninja, and incredible at what he does. I have not had one bad hair cut from him. He is so patient, precise, and makes you feel completely comfortable and unlike Toni and Guy, the staff, including receptionist, are friendly, do not have attitudes, and are not stuck up. I will follow Cig to the ends of the earth for his hair cuts and everyone else should too. Go see him at Salon Aqua Blue instead.

• Pros: Ninja Level Haircut
• Cons: I can't afford to have him do my hair everyday
