Positive: QualityOn a whim, I decided that I wanted to get my hair cut. It was the Saturday after Thanksgiving and while I wasn’t expecting to get into a salon on the same day, I was hoping to find a Sunday appointment. I usually just do my hair at home, so I don’t have a regular stylist that I see anymore. After seeing reviews and photos of Ms. V’s work at Dawns of Essence …and noting that she took Sunday appointments, I decided to reach out to her. I fully expected her to let me know that she was fully booked for Sunday, but instead she let me know that she could get me scheduled for 12:30pm on Sunday. The morning of my appointment, she texted me to ask me to come in at 1:30pm. No problem, since she was graciously making room for me at the last minute. I arrived at 1:30pm and Ms. V met me at the door to take my temperature and spray sanitizer on my hands. She then asked me to sit in a certain seat in the waiting area. I didn’t have a problem with any of this – actually, I appreciated her commitment to keeping a clean and safe environment during this pandemic. Speaking of safety precautions, Ms. V also spaced her clients out during services, repeated cleaned sinks and work areas and wore a mask and face shield (clients were also required to wear masks at all times). Ms. V was wrapping up a long service on another client when I arrived, had another client in the chair that she was finishing and another client and I were in the waiting area – she was extremely busy, so I had to wait, but again, I didn’t mind since she fit me into her schedule at the last minute. As Ms. V rotated between me and her other clients, she began to express to us all that she was experiencing a lot of pain from a prior medical procedure (non-COVID related). The pain became very excruciating for her, so she apologized for taking several quick breaks. Despite her pain, Ms. V continued to service her clients and me and the quality of her work with superb. She colored and cut my hair with such precision – I LOVE IT. On my way out, Ms. V apologized for not feeling well, for my appointment taking so long to complete and for making this type of first impression. None of us can help getting ill, so I don’t fault her. She was even kind enough to loan me her umbrella to get to my car in the rain and let me drive up to the door to drop it off so my hair wouldn’t get wet – what a kind gesture when you’re not feeling well. Thank you, Ms. V for making my hair look beautiful and for treating me with kindness even in the midst of your pain.Service: HairstylingOn a whim, I decided that I wanted to get my hair cut.
