content: I'm not really a fan of reviewing 'non-eateries', but I have to say something about Altered Ego Salon.  \n\nI have an immensely awesome daughter; she's artsy, fancy, bohemian and often wears mismatched clothing (rainbow socks, converse boots, purple beret...getting the picture?)  During what can only be described as an 'epiphanial' night of  snooty beer drinking, I asked myself  'would my daughter let me put a giant streak of neon pink in her hair??' \n\nThe answer was:  'Goddamn right Bob'\n\n... I know what you're going to say... What kind of a-hole lets their kid get their hair colored?  Well, me.  If my review upsets you or you disagree with any choice I've made, please decide on a farm animal, of your choosing of course, and endeavor to fornicate with it.  \n\nAfter a much regretted post in 'Talk', I took the only 2 rational salon recommendations I received and gave em' each a jingle-jangle.  I will say, after yammering with a number of fancy sounding peoples at each salon, I decided AE was the place for me; the date was set for a man named Topher to change my spawns life fo-eva.\n\nSo guys - FYI - a cut and color an a girl's hair can take a long time - like 3 god damn hours.  Bring a book or fondue pot, something.  It helped that AE is really nice inside, with comfy butt-trays and TV's in the 'this thing is switching my brain with a monkey's' machine area... You know what I mean. \n\nThe details:\n\nPrice was beyond rational,  service prompt and efficient.  The experience as a whole was quite honestly enjoyable.  My daughter sat and chatted with Topher, who took the time to listen about what she wanted to do with her hair (treating her like a person and not a little kid)  \n\nThe crux was the look on my daughters face when Topher (the Bruce Lee of stylin') revealed her new pink locks to her; like an emaciated Somalian child receiving a big piece of choco' cake.\n\nI'll be honest; I don't like children.  (Yeah yeah, I know.. ah-hole) That being said, AE took the time to treat my child not only as a valued customer, but as a person - the results of which were beyond anything I could have imagined.  It's always a joy to get much much more than you expected.  \n\n\nI'll be back - this place is the cats mer-wow.
