I don't know how anyone could have a bad experience with Mariana. She is one of the best colorist you'll ever find. Mariana literally saved my hair about three years ago and I wouldn't trust anyone else to touch it now. My hair had been ruined by another salon and was over processed and literally had no color left to. Mariana gradually and cautiously returned my hair back to a real color and a healthy state. I can't imagine her doing anything damaging to anyones hair and she's always cautious and recommends a natural look. She certainly wouldn't make anyone paid for changing something they weren't happy with. Mariana is professional and classy. The receptionist there is always friendly and accommodating and offers you anything from water, to wine and mimosas, who could not love that!? The store itself is a cheeky little shop at the Domaine and though I haven't purchased anything there, I enjoy looking at the cute goodies on my way in and out of the salon. Staff is always friendly. It's true that you wouldn't know this gem of a salon was ever there without being 'in the know' but once you know, you'll have to share your secret with your friends.
Pros: Quality stylists, fun location, friendly atmosphere
Cons: parking can be a challenge but it's a nice walk through the shops.

I asked Mariana to give me a natural partial highlights (no blonde) on my medium brown hair and to touch up my roots. Result: black roots and blonde highlights. She said I looked fabulous! The best part of the experience was the mimosas that I drank while my hair was ruined. I paid $135 for the color work plus more money to have it repaired...she let me know that I could return if I needed any touch up work, generous, but judging from her interpretation of natural I opted for another salon for the repair.
Pros: Nice to do other shopping while you're at the Domain
Cons: The hike up to the Domain is not worth the price I had to pay for my damaged hair
