Styles Salon in Hyde Park, NY

I found this salon on NC.com, but it had no reviews. I saw Sue today to get my color fixed. I previously highlighted my hair but stopped a couple of years ago and was tired of the two-toned look. I skipped the trim because I have a Devacut scheduled in a few weeks (I had no desire to pay Devachan prices for a single process color).
Sue gave me the best explanation of single-process color that I've ever heard. She explained that it was going to look a little bit dark today because of the inevitable fading that will occur. She also was very upfront with me about the likelihood that I will need to do this again.
What really got my attention more than anything was that Sue didn't treat me like a hair-obsessed crazy person when we spoke. I compare it to when I see a new doctor for the first time--I have a non-clinical medical background and doctors react in different ways to someone who can comfortably speak their language without an MD at the end of their name. I suspect it's probably the same thing with stylists, but I was pleasantly surprised when Sue not only took my knowledge in stride, but was happy that I had the understanding that I did. The color looks exactly like I wanted, an as I was walking out the door, I heard Sue turn to one of the other stylists and say, "She was very impressive."
