On Sunday my husband and I were going to have professional photos taken and I decided at the last minute that I'd like to get my hair done. I looked online at a couple of blowout bars and was able to get an appointment within three hours at Sam Villa's. Honestly I was not TOO enthused that it was at Town Square (as a local I avoid that mall like the plague) but figured oh well. \n\nThe location is actually pretty great, it is on the outskirts of the mall, in an area without a lot of traffic by the Brazilian restaurant. Parking was a breeze, I was able to park right in front and not worry about sweating and ruining my hair. \n\nI was greeted at the entrance and my stylist Gabriella brought me in immediately. I told her what the occasion was and described the look I wanted, soft, bouncy curls. Well, she got to work on my hair. I am usually not very impressed with hair stylists in this town and can tell from the way they dry your hair if they are up to my standards. Usually when blow drying my thick, coarse and curly hair, the person does not use enough strength to do it and leaves it frizzy-ish. Not Gabriella, girl is strong but gentle. Anyway, after the blow drying she got to work on my hair and actually gave me tips to replicate it at home. Yeah right. My hair ended up looking fabulous, even better than I had hoped, really. Despite using more product than I would at home, it did not feel weighed down or greasy at all. Score!\n\nWhile they do your hair you can be entertained by the fashion show runaways playing on the screen as well as these crazy hair demos by (presumably) Sam Villa. \n\nAll in all a great experience. Although I kind of thought it was expensive at first, I can totally justify going there at least every couple of months for a special occasion.
