Rachel Shanks review for MAE Organic Beauty

I saw Maggie today and was totally thrilled with the whole experience. Starting at the beginning—booking was easy. Policies are clearly stated on their website so I had no confusion there when I had to reschedule for later in the day at sort of the last minute. Reminder texts were sent as well which is always helpful! Building is easy to find, clearly marked—and also has some pretty unique features that made it easy to identify where to go (cute pink steps and door!!) I was greeted immediately by Maggie, which was great because this was my first time and she is who I was seeing. The place is so super cute inside which is of course a bonus! Maggie was so sweet and friendly. I sat down and we chatted about what I wanted and I felt I clearly communicated my preferences, lifestyle, etc, and that everything was understood and supported. Maggie was very easy to talk to, as were the other women in the salon. This was the most care and attention I’ve had put into a haircut in a long time. I had a long-standing relationship with a former stylist who unfortunately moved, and ever since then I have had sub-par or downright bad experiences at other salons. I feel like some people write you off when they know you “only getting a haircut” and not doing color. Maggie took so much time to really give me a good wash/scalp massage and fantastic blowout and style. She gave me exactly what I asked for in terms of the cut and I’m very happy with it! She really could have easily rushed the job to get out of there (I was her last app of the day) but instead, she gave me a full hour of her time and attention. These days I’m just really grateful for a quality, thoughtful service or experience, so as silly as it may sound, that really did mean a lot to me and I felt like I got my money’s worth.
