A Salon a Curly Girl Can Trust

by MWillard at Citysearch

I have frequented Scissors for about seven years now. My husband and I found the salon when we lived in the Fan and now that we have moved out of the city I still go to Scissors. As a woman with thick hair that is very curly it is hard to find a stylist that I trust to work with my hair type. Simone has always listened to what I wanted and given me just that. She never pushed me to make any type of change but will make recommendations from time to time. After some time I did take the chance and decided to have bangs cut. I really was worried how it would turn out with having such curly hair, but she did a brilliant job and I have kept the style for the last few months now. I have also had my hair colored by Simone before and loved it. Simone has also always done a great job of waxing my eyebrows.

In my most recent visit to Scissors I talked to Simone about a Keratin hair treatment. I have recently become bored with my hair and figured it would either be a color change or straightening. I have done some research on the treatment, and while expensive, have seen it to be worth it based on my findings. I wanted to talk to Simone about it first before I made any decisions. Simone could have easily scheduled the appointment for the treatment but shared her honest opinion as well as some flattering remarks about my curls. Since I was on the fence regarding this drastic change in the first place, I have decided to hold off and stick with a flat iron of which she recommended a very good one.

I have read some of the other reviews regarding prices and I can say that Scissors' prices are on par with that of other high quality salons in the Richmond and Southside area. However, Scissors does offer an eclectic Richmond feel that these salons do not. I also love the White Sands shampoo that Simone recommended. While I have dabbled in purchasing salon grade products in the past, I often doubted their performance was better than a cheaper store brand. I would often skip shampooing in the past because it dried out my hair and caused major frizz. The White Sands moisturizing shampoo leaves my hair super soft with little to no frizz. I also LOVE the White Sands Porosity The Fix spritz. It also keeps the frizz down and makes my hair really shiny. I know I have now risked sounding like a commercial, but when you have hair like mine it is truly awesome to find products that work with your hair like these do.

Scissors provides a true Richmond view of a high quality full service salon.

Love this Salon!

I love my cut, I love my color, and I love this salon! I first found Siccors Hair Studio when I lived in the Fan and Siccors was a small salon on Strawberry Street. After searching many other hair salons in Richmond, I finally found the one salon that could do my hair to perfection. I have had many hair color mishaps, but Siccors Hair Studion finally got my color right. Thank you Simone!!! After many good hair experiences at Siccors, I got spoiled and expected no less from a salon. Along the way, I was offered a great opprounity in North Carolina and moved to the Durham/Chapel Hill area. And once again had to shop for the hair salon that could cut and color my hair well. It was quite a search and never really found the salon that could cut and color my hair as well as Simone at Siccors in Richmond. As life would have it, after six years in living in NC, I found myself making plans to move back to the city that I love, and the place that I call home. With moving back to Richmond I had much to figure out, but the one thing I was sure of was where I was going to get my hair styled. Once I moved back and got settled in, I had called Simone to make an appointment and expected to find her once again on Strawberry Street. To my surprise Simone, and Siccors Hair Studio had moved to a new location, and wow has Siccors grown. The new studio is awesome, and the atmosophere is exquisite. Simone has done an excellent job expanding Siccors Hair Studio to a top rated salon and spa, complete with all the bells and whistles. And happy to say, the quality and professionalism has remained top notch! I just recently visited Simone, and her staff at Siccors for a cut and color, and to no surprise, hair perfection! Once again I found my way home! Thanks Simone, and staff, you are the best!

• Pros: Great Talent and Nice People

If you want to be pampered...

by A Bishop at Citysearch

I have been going to Simone for about ten years and it has continued to be a great experience. Last week, I had time for a facial with Drina. I must say that was the best decision I made all week. I don't know what she used, but there was a noticeable difference in my skin once she was finished. I have been priviledged to have enjoyed many facials over the years and believe this was the best one to date!
