I went into Coastal Salon yesterday to get the works before driving to upstate New York to see my family. Michelle, my stylists had a pile of these sections she had knitted and will piece together to make a blanket for one of her customers who has cancer. When I asked about the color (since it isn't pink), she informed me that pink is for Breast cancer. There are different colors for different cancers. Huh! Who knew? I'm not surprised that Michelle took the time to find this out (you can look the colors up here http://www.choosehope.com/category/by-cancer-color-cancer-type )or that she spends her few available minutes knitting a gift for a customer. That is just the way she is. Her shop isn't large and she doesn't have a bevy of beauticians working for her, but it is full of caring. You couldn't even call it customer service, that would be demeaning. Caring. Yup that's the right word. If you are looking for a new stylist, stop by! Even if you aren't, stop by and say "Hello!" You may not end up with her (I and a few other customers are in her books for the next three years...literally). But, you will be treated like family by daughter, Joyce, or Jaison.
They are colloquial, friendly, occasionally loud, but they always care.
