Canopy Aveda Salon

This review is long over due. I just wanted to say that I love Canopy and I love the experience every time. I also love the color that I got the last time, it never turned orange! I wish I could afford going more often! Michael knows what he is doing and he spends time with his clients to make sure they get the end result they are looking for. He also always has great advice! If you care about your hair and how it looks go there!!!! ♥

Michael knows what he's doing! He listens carefully, but isn't afraid to share his opinions. Each time he cuts my hair, I get lots of compliments. Better yet, I always like the results.

The first time I had my hair done here, I loved it. It was this beautiful brown/sandy blonde balayage that took quite a bit of time because my hair is about 11-12 inches long and while it isn't thick, the strands are very fine. So many people complimented my hair and it felt great! Five months later, I returned to have my hair re-done the same way. On the second trip I also purchased the near $40 five-minute hair cut (it was a fantastic cut but still less than 10 minutes was spent on it because the cut was very simple) making this round more expensive but I did it anyway because of how great the first one turned out. Michael seemed excited about the way my hair turned out while I was in the salon. He was seemed so proud of his work that even though I didn't like it, I decided he was probably right and that I needed to give it time to grow on me (pun intended). I didn't say what I felt when I left the salon, because I didn't want to be a burden. It was a Saturday and Michael made it clear he had plans and I am not a confrontational person. The first thing I did when I got home from the salon, was spend over two hours attempting to style my new hair. I kept looking at it and trying to like it, but it was all wrong. There were several pieces of hair that had splotches of bleach that did not blend in and the colors just weren't what I expected. The most upsetting part was a 1in wide segment in my bangs that started dark brown and abruptly became bleached blonde with a pretty distinct line between the two colors. The whole thing just looked rushed and wasn't what I expected. Especially for the money that I had spent on it. I almost never treat myself. Therefore, spending over $320 to return home with a hair that I absolutely hated, but I felt I couldn't do anything to fix, is why I am giving this salon a 3/5. I didn't feel as though I could tell Michael that I thought he had made a couple mistakes without feeling really bad about it, not a feeling I want from my hairdresser. It has been 5 months since that experience and I still find myself daydreaming about cutting all my hair off. (Since I spent all my cash on this hair, I haven't had the time or money to get it fixed, I am just happy I look pretty good in hats!) I thought I had found a permanent hairdresser, but every time I see my hair I am disappointed. (A testament to how long the dye lasts).

The salon has a wonderful atmosphere and my hair always looks amazing after Michael works his magic.

I've only been there once (during UI moms weekend) I was calling all around town to see if I could get. I wasn't expecting to because of how that weekend was. But I was able get it here and I plan on going again. I got my eyebrows done. I was nervous because I have never had anyone else touch my eyebrows before. But the lady (I can't remember her name) that did them was nice and made me feel comfortable from the start and did a great job. I really recommend this place to people.
