Sharon at Whimsy salon is giftedwhen it comes to color and cuts, people love her!

I've gone to Whimsy for over 3 years now. I've had Sharon and Amanda do my high lights at different times. They are both wonderful women and great stylists! I highly recommend giving this quaint little business a try, you won't be disappointed!

Whimsy was recommended by one of their vendors. I was surprised to get a an appointment right away. I hadn't had a hair cut in several months and my hair had gotten quite long. I was having a hard time finding a stylist I liked, one who gave me the cut I wanted or didn't argue with me. But I explained to Tasha what I wanted, and she gave me just about the best hair cut I've ever gotten. I can't thank her enough and I will definitely be back, I've found my new stylist.

ok. If you know me, you know my hair.
Sharon just did her Sharon magic on it and it is so amazing, you will notice.
My curls are curlier, softer, I do not have to walk into a room and apologize for how much room it is taking up.
mmmmmmmmmm ♥ ♥ ♥

I called Whimsy because they are close to St. Luke's, where I work as a nurse & I walk by their little red house every morning. I had a friend color my hair thinking I would save some money & ended up a horrible mess! Three different colors, one of which was kind of greenish! Lukily I got Sharon on the phone when I called. Not only is she the owner of Whimsy but she has over 20 years of experience and specializes in corrective hair color. She is very confident and knowlegeable about her profession. She took her time in explaining my options as well as the potential cost & walked me through the process, step by step. It was a facinating process & I could tell that Sharon really loves her work! I left with hair that was not only a better color & in better condition than I had hoped for but with a really good feeling that I can't explain! Like I made a new friend! Sharon truly cares for her clients & is a genuine, unpretentious person! I scheduled another appointment in 6 weeks for the first time ever! I love my new stylist & I have to admit, the cost wasn't all that bad either! I'll recommend Sharon to everyone, she's fabulous!

I went into Whimsy because I drive past the "first time 50% off" sign everday. I made an appointment with GiGi (who luckily works evenings and weekends- I promised her I'd throw that in!) to have my hair colored. I'm very phobic about hair stylists because I have long hair that took me forever to grow out and it seems like people really want to cut more than I tell them to. I told this to GiGi before we even started and she said she would be really conservative. She mixed different conditioners into my color and explained everything she was doing like she was teaching a class, which reassured me that she knew what she was doing. My highlights were perfect and, after the color, she conditioned my hair with some kind of fiber-type product that seemed to seal the split ends. She barely trimmed my hair ("reshaping" was what she called it), proving she really listens to what a person wants.
I loved it and I will definitely be back!
For those of you reading this review, please note that it is dated in 2008. The 50% off first time client special that is mentioned is no longer available. We do have coupons listed on YP, however, that I encourage you to print out and use!

I found Whimsy through the Yellow Pages. What I didn't know was that all new clients got half off their first visit! I had Sharon high light my hair with 3 different colors. I like my color to look natural and blended and she did a phenomenal job! I left with my hair in better condition than when I came in the door! For the first time in my life...I booked for my next appointment in 6 weeks! Kudos to Whimsy Salon and Sharon!
