Overpriced, poor quality

by lkn4perfectcut at Citysearch

Read all the reviews and thought this would be the final stop on my journey for the perfect hairdresser. Boy was I wrong. As was stated in another review, Ed sure does have his spiel down perfectly. You can tell he give the same exact line to every client. I'm sure he tests everyone's skin and not a single person has ever passed. I'm used to the hard sell of products, but this was rediculous. I purchased about $300.00 worth of products and found the only thing that was different from any other product I ever purchased was the moisture mist . You need about 1/4 cup of shampoo to work up a lather. He also sold me on the special hairbrush that looks like a crimper but dries hair smoothly. This was a great product, however I paid 14.99 and have seen in at Nordstrom and CVS for $6.00. Oh yea there is that special facial chamois for 14.99, I have also seen that for $6.00. I would not have been motivated to write this review had I not listened to Ed bolster himself up to the status of a "haircutting God", so as you might think I was expecting the best haircut of my life.....For me, that was not the case. Maybe he was just having a bad day but it was by far the worst haircut I ever had. My hair was so uneven my husband noticed ! The cut was a super precision cut which made all the mistakes much more noticeable. The next day I was with friends and they also noticed. Fortunately they were able to trim it so that it looked okay.

Granted, I had to leave town for two weeks the afternoon of my cut, so I did not give Ed a chance to correct his mistake. I'm sure had I gone back, he would have fixed it. However, at the price of $280.00 for cut and highlights, I was not willing to try again.

• Pros: Friendly, Quick Appointment
• Cons: Two person Salon, Poor Parking,

They took care of all my beauty concerns

by gingermclark at Citysearch

I first went to Savioe based on all the positive comments I found on this site. I saw only a few negative comments and now that I've been there a couple times I can tell you they're all false. I have nothing bad to say about Savoie because they went above and beyond any other place I've ever been. Edward was very knowledgeable about any and all questions I asked and everyone was very friendly and were interested in getting to know me. Not only that but Edward gave me a look each time that best flattered my facial features.

• Pros: everything
• Cons: nothing

• Pros: Best Salon in Town
• Cons: You get what you pay for!

NOT a good experience

by gobluecatsblue at Citysearch

My experience was much like one that was posted in November of '08. I read all of the reviews and thought this must be a great place for a cut and color. Boy was I wrong! Ed talked the entire appointment and there wasn't a moment where he wasn't trying to sell something to me, even if I didn't need it. I don't think he even paid attention while he was cutting my hair because when I got home one side was about an inch longer than the other. He also gave me highlights in my hair, but did not bother to touch up the grays. So, two weeks after getting a cut and color and paying close to $200, I had to find another hairdresser to get rid of my grays and to fix my cut. I ended up paying a lot of money to get my hair done that month! Luckily, I was able to leave Savoie without purchasing any additional products.

I've known Edward for 30+ years from NYC, I am so thankful that I found him again in Dallas since 2000. Cheryl is astonishing!!! Irreplaceable !!! Robin is incredible -- I trust no one outside of Savoie -- once you give them the opportunity, you will never, never go anywhere else!!!

The Best in Dallas

by BFaulkner at Citysearch

I will never forget my first visit to Savoie Salon. I went in with fire orange/red/yellow hair. It was horrific. After talking with me to get an idea of what I wanted, Ed developed a color and highlights for me that was wonderful. When I left there, my hair was beautiful, and I felt like a million dollars. I feel that way every time I leave the salon. This is the only salon for me. Ed, Cheryl and Cora are wonderful, and the products are amazing. Thank you Savoie!

• Pros: Excellent hair color, style, products, atmosphere, people

Ten years of wonderful hair and skin care

by Bethmelton at Citysearch

I first visited the salon for an Computer Imaging session and consultation with Cora, to determine the most flattering hair style for me. That began a 10 year relationship highlighted by exceptional hair care, hair styling for both long and short hair, individual skin care analysis, and product suggestions. As I have changed, Ed, my stylist, has made suggestions to correspond with my life style changes and with current styles. His make up sessions are fabulous---he did my make up for my daughter's wedding and he has continued to offer suggestions as I have "gracefully" aged.

The entire staff is friendly, yet professional. The salon is spotless. And Cheryl has the hands of an angel. I confess that color has always been tricky for me. Cheryl and Ed have the problem solved. My friends frequently ask for the name of the salon I use because they find my hair style so perfect for me. I would not dream of letting anyone touch my hair, except the personnel at Salon Savoie. They make sure my life does not include high maintenance or unhealthy hair. I don't have time for that - but I always look forward to my appointment at the salon.

• Pros: Professional,cutting edge styling; best skin care products
• Cons: I can't take Ed with me whenever I travel.

I am very happy and have finally found the perfect place for me and my Hair.

Robin to the Rescue

by lisamoreau at Citysearch

I had the pleasure of meeting Robin in April with a real challenge. I had colored my own hair( don't ask) and had a school cut my hair. Well neither of us (me nor the school) new what we were doing. I needed help! Robin helped me out alot. She was great and very patient. Everyone at Savoie Salon was great and very nice. I would recommend this salon to everyone.

• Pros: Price
• Cons: ???

Hair that is mom friendly

by tuff2please at Citysearch

I came to Kaivan as a new mom and had a picture of what I wanted. Many times before, I had asked stylists to cut my hair short. Between being pregnant and then having the baby it just seemed the logical thing to do. Over and over again each stylist told me that if I cut my hair short it would exaggerate my round face. So I was put off it. So once again, I went to a new stylist, Kaivan, and told him my situation. I had brought a picture with me. He told me that it would be no problem and he could customize the look that I wanted. So, nervously, I went under the scissors. He also broke up some of the blonde that I had become really bored with. By the time he was done, not only was I completely relaxed but I was also in a great mood. Man, what a character he is! He showed me exactly how to style my hair and gave me some tips. When he was done, I was thrilled. My hair looked great. I walked out of the salon with a great sense of confidence. When I got home I still loved it but I was worried that it wouldn't look as great when I washed it and did it myself. Man was I wrong! My hair is too short to put it in a pony tail so I have no excuses. It takes me 20 minutes to do my hair which it used to take an hour and I love it. I always have it done now. I can't thank Kaivan enough for what he did. He has a client for life!

• Pros: Customized hair that looks great for each individual.
• Cons: Are there any?
