Arena Eco-Friendly Salon

I was extremely happy with my experience here. Destiny was very nice and while my request was not particularly complicated (I was just looking to brighten up my highlights) I was thrilled with the results. My highlights are bright and vibrant and look very natural. She was a pleasure to work with, as were the other people at Arena, and I felt the half-head highlights for $92 was a good deal. I would definitely return.

My haircut with Destiny was everything I needed. After getting a half head of highlights, she washed my hair and used some great products. She listened to what I wanted and proceeded to cut very professionally. She checked my layer lengths and didn't take too much off the bottom as I had requested. After blow-drying, she went back through and finalized the cut. I will certainly go back to Destiny for my hair cut and highlights in the future.

My experience at Arena was great and Destiny was wonderful. She really paid attention to what I wanted, took her time choosing the right colors and was meticulous in her application. We chatted a lot while she worked and she was very pleasant. I will certainly be going back to Destiny next time I need highlights.

I just came back from a haircut with Destiny, and I am very content with my haircut! She did exactly what I asked, and didn't put a lot of funky products in my hair (which I hate). My hair feels great, and they took excellent care of me, with a bit of peppermint tea. The space was nice and well kept, and the music was great and not too loud or obnoxious - no techno pop stuff. I also really appreciated that they didn't push highlights on me. I feel like so many places urge you to get color jobs, but I really like my hair color! They commented on my natural highlights, and didn't force me into buying a single product. Which made me feel very much at home. The ladies talked with me the entire time, laughing and chatting casually and comfortably while my hair got styled, making it the best hour in a hair salon I've had in a long time.

This salon is great. The decor is funk and low-key and the staff is friendly. I got the formeldahyde-free brazilian keratin treatment with Destiny. I have never had a brazilian keratin treatment before. They had just started using a new, faster product, so from hair wash, to application, to blow-dry and straightening, the whole process probably took about an hour. Much less time than the product they used to use, apparently. There was very little smokiness with this new product as well. Destiny recommended an organic shampoo and conditioner that they salon carried. It was a little pricey, but that was to be expected, and I didn't feel pressured into buying it. I just knew I might not find the time to look for sodium and sulfate free shampoo that week. The new keratin product they used also allowed you to wash your hair after only 24 hours. I was expecting 2-3 days. My hair looked and felt great while I was waiting the 24 hours. After I washed it, it had a strange and unpleasant smell to it, but only when it was wet. Once I blew it out, the smell was gone. After about two to three more shampoos, the smell was pretty much gone even when my hair was wet. I try to wash my hair less often to help the effects of the keratin treatment last longer. It's been about two months, and it is starting to wear off, but my hair is still noticeably softer and less frizzy. It takes practically no time to blow dry or straighten my hair once its already dry. I would definitely go back!

I chose this salon for keratin treatment since the salon is eco-friendly and the treatment is formaldehyde free. Destiny did a wonderful job and was very knowledgeable. The treatment was a 24-hour (not 4 days) and it did not sting or smell - it actually smelled nice. We did not need to wear masks, since the treatment does not have formaldehyde. I was so happy when I washed my hair for the first time! I have very coarse, thick, frizzy, wavy hair and it usually takes hours to dry. I usually pull my hair back everyday because I don't have the time to deal with my hair. After this treatment, my hair is so much more manageable! It is still wavy and is not totally frizz free, but what a difference! Now I let my hair air dry and sometimes will use a flat iron, which is super quick. My hair is soft and does not become frizzy in this humid weather. I will definitely get this treatment done again.

Destiny was very friendly and really listened to what I wanted. She fixed the layers from previous haircut I did not like, without cutting off too much. Very talented. Book an appointment with Destiny and you will not be disappointed!
