Kristin Maze Salon, Sonoma CA

Two trips, same result, not remotely the style in my photo (of me!). Both blow outs were the vertical curl bridesmaid style that everyone seems to like. Not possible to do at home and not much other style in the cut. Owner had recommended this stylist so I went to her asking for a person who could produce the style I have had. I was told I’d have to pay a consult fee. My guess is that the consult would result in “I can’t achieve your desired style, find a new salon”. It’s a pretty straightforward shoulder length cut. Not much confidence in her stylists. So moved on. This is an attractive salon but skill set and vision seem lacking (unless u r a bridesmaid and want to look like all the other bridesmaids). Also their pricey product line (Oribe) has the absolute worst packaging in the industry. Impossible to use with wet slippery hands and leaves a lot you can’t squeeze out.
