A Grownup, Sophisticated Salon
Posted by Roadsterbay on 10/29/2008
When I first went to Angelo Mesisco Salon, I was a worn out new mom with a frazzled French braid. Angelo gave me a sleek, beautiful bob and I came out of the salon looking like someone who suddenly remembered the meaning of the word "style." Later Karen became my regular stylist. She not only knows what my hair will and won't do, she knows I need a haircut that requires no more than two minutes of my attention to look great. An avowed bargain hunter, I have realized that an amazing haircut at Angelo Mesisco Salon is a good value because it lasts 8 full weeks and makes me look and feel like a million bucks! As for the salon itself, it is spotless, sleek and modern. Fresh flowers are everywhere, excellent coffee and lemonade are available for clients in the comfortable, light-filled waiting area. Angelo's cool paintings grace the entrance and hallway, and there is a tempting array of beauty products besides. I don't understand why a couple of people think the shampoo area is dated - what do they want - Lazy Boy recliners? As for the "cast of thousands" alluded to by one reviewer, you have one person shampoo and dry your hair and another cut it. If you get color, that's a third person who specializes in that area. So you have two or three people pampering you! And the result is that even strangers will compliment you on your hair! I love the place!
Best Salon in Norfolk

I have been coming to Angelo Mesisco Salon for years, and I always leave there with a good feeling. I honestly cannot think of a haircut I got there that I didn't like. The staff is very friendly, and they always have good suggestions. The facility is modern and conveniently located in downtown Norfolk. Also, unlike many salons, there is not a lot of turnover, so it is never a gamble whether you will receive a good haircut or not.
The best in town

I recently had a fabulous experience at this salon. The space is very attractive and clean, and I received a warm greeting upon arriving. I had an appointment for single-process color and haircut. I waited no more than 3 or so minutes before someone came to the lobby to whisk me up to the color area. The colorist was knowledgeable and friendly, and the products used are top of the line. My experience with the stylist was also great, and right on time. The salon uses (as well as sells) Kerastase products, which are wonderful. In addition to a terrific hair and skin care product line, the salon has a fun, eclectic selection of retail products for sale. I made my next appointment for services as I checked out, and have become a regular based on one visit alone. It was just a great visit from start to finish.
Great Colorist, expensive, poor followup customer service

Jessica colored my hair, she was great, very friendly and did a great job which lasted for months. (I get highlights which on alternate months need to have a lot done.) My beef is that I told Jessica I was possibly leaving the area and she suggested that if I did leave, that I should simply telephone her and she would provide me with tips on what was required at a future salon to ensure that they tried to maintain my color without over doing it. I made 4 different long distance telephone calls to speak wth Jessica but was never successful in reaching her. I was told on each occasion by the receptionist that Jessica was with a client but would definitely ring me back immediately after finishing with that client. I never received a return call. When I mentioned this to the receptionist on my 4th call she became belligerent and rude stating some rubbish that they were not permitted to provide details of work carried out because of possible litigation that could be made against them. This is totally preposterous and in all honesty I think falls under terrible customer service. The salon itself is pretty old fashioned (I've had my hair done in beautiful salons around the world), it needs modernising, particularly the washing station, and especially for the prices they charge. The girl that washed my hair put so much water in my ears that it took days for it to fully come out, and she was quite rough and perfunctory. Have they never heard of giving a client a head massage as a touch of luxury and to help the conditioner through your hair?? I also think it's a very strange practice to have one person do part of your hair and then be shunted off to a cast of thousands to complete the service. I think tipping is ridiculous at these prices anyway, but how do you know who to tip on these occasions because it seems as though almost everyone at the salon has touched your head in some way - weird. So in short, expensive, & hope u never need them to call you!
Very unhappy

After wearing my hair in the same basic style for the past 20 years, I was looking for a new style. I brought a page from GQ to show the stylist what I was looking for - I normally get my hair cut every 2 weeks and had let it grow for 6. My new wife works in Norfolk and had heard great things about mens cuts at this salon - she made the appt and reluctantly I agreed and left the beach for my appt. I was not facing the mirror as she cut and when she turned me around I was shocked to see my "military" type haircut! I couldn't believe it - it was nothing like I asked for or that we discussed. It was so short that I had to let it grow for 6 more weeks before I had enough hair to go back to my old place and return to my same tired style. It was a hugh disappointment for my wife and I and I would never even consider going back!
