Kim Vo Salon at the Mirage

A few months back I was in Las Vegas, and although I usually get my hair done in Beverly Hills at Vidal Sassoon, I decided to give the Kim Vo salon a chance. I only wanted my color done as I never let anybody cut my hair except Etienne in Beverly Hills. I scheduled the appointment the day before and it was scheduled with Alejandro, a Venuzualan with Italian roots (no pun intended.) He was very nice, although his accent made him at times a little difficult to understand. My color did not come out exactly the way I would have wanted it to, but I have to take responsibility for it, since I did not communicate clearly enough how I wanted it done. The color came out a little darker than I would have like it to. My natural color is a dark blond to light brunette. I normally prefer it on the lighter side with lots of natural looking highlights that blend well together with my natural color. Alejandro was very meticulous and exact, and the color definitely looked natural, but not as light as I normally prefer it to be. I always find it difficult to switch salons and have my hair turn out the way I want it during the first visit. I think that this is why I’m willing to drive a long distance to go and see Etienne and Mimi, my colorist in Beverly Hills. This is also the reason I prefer to visit a Vidal Sassoon salon since you can request that a call be made to your usual Vidal Sassoon salon to obtain the color mix they have on file for you. I either visit the salons in Beverly Hills, Costa Mesa or San Francisco. Although, I never have my hair cut by anybody else but Etienne. I have tried different stylists and I’m never satisfied unless I have my hair done by him. That is not to say that I have never been dissatisfied after a cut by Etienne, it is just that 9 out of 10 times I’m really happy with the cut. So, I’ve decided to stop trying different salons. It is worth the drive even with the higher gas prices. So, next week I’m seeing Etienne again and Mimi. Can’t wait!
