Salon and Spa Directory: Marie Robinson Salon

I'd been wanting to check out Marie Robinson Salon for quite awhile, so I was extremely excited to finally have the opportunity. And let me just put it this way ... I was long overdue for hair color, and I do mean LONG overdue. I hadn't done anything to it since October! In recent months, I'd started to think I might be done with red hair, but I realized I really missed it. So I made an appointment with Meg Sanchez Hartigan to see what she might be able to do for me.

The salon itself is airy, bright and cheerful. Plush chairs and couches are scattered around the reception area, while each salon space is stationed with comfortable armchairs and oversized mirrors. Each space is set far enough from the next that you really feel like you're the only one in the room! I was also struck by the positive attitudes set forth by each and every person working in the salon. From the receptionists and the coat check girls to the stylists, every single person was friendly, positive and accommodating.

From the moment I sat down in Meg's chair, I knew it was a match made in heaven. Meg is super cool -- bold black hair, lots of tattoos -- and she just GETS crazy color. I expressed interest in going for a bold red with some even brighter streaks throughout, and she was instantly on board! Meg decided to color my roots first before matching the rest of my strands to that color. And then she worked on my hair for awhile at the sink, coloring individual pieces with various reds and bright corals for added dimension.


Two hours later? VOILA! Amazing, GORGEOUS color that I can't stop admiring. Not to mention the most FABULOUS blowout that lasted for four days -- a true coup, since wearing my hair curly usually only lasts for one!
