No one to babysit your kid while to get your hair done, bring her or him along, they're welcome.  Last Saturday I watched as a little girl, 4 or 5 years old, very intently, styled hair on a practice head in a space that appeared to be set aside for very junior Stylist-In-Training.  Other kids were working on their hand held game devices while waiting for their moms or dads.

Shelton will begin to administer the SalonVoices Customer Satisfaction Survey this Fall.  His clients responses will award him with a crown signature that reflects the level of services consistently received.
