I was happy to be able to go to white plains for a Deva cut from Sophie who had done a great job a year ago. This time was good too, she did both my cutting and the no pooing since it was at end of day. The salon is a bit hard to find and the street-signage is low key. The place was just about empty at 5:15, which is a big change from NYC. Sophie spent lots of time on each curl and my hair curls up really well now, much more bouncy than it was after not having been cut for over 11 months. I will go back again.
For many years I have been a client of Carlos of Devachan in NYC and I couldn't wait for the new salon in White Plains NY to open up so I could set up an appointment. Well, I finally went yesterday (9/2/09) and it was fabulous. The experience was just like the one I had in the city. The set up of the salon is gorgeous, with the long tables you lay on to have your hair "no pooed" and massaged. It felt so good I almost fell asleep on the table. The stylist that cut my hair yesterday was Thelma (pronounced with a silent H). She was incredible and spent so much time explaining what she was going to do before she did it with me. I was highly impressed. I HIGHLY recommend Devachan Salon in White Plains NY for people who can't get to the salon in NYC or don't want to go into the city. The cut is a little pricey but if I end up going less (I am growing it out) than I would going to a regular stylist, because the cut lasts longer, then its worth every penny! Also, the staff were very friendly and couldn't do enough to make my stay enjoyable. One other highlight of my visit to Devachan was the Strawberry/Kiwi/fruit ice tea drink they serve in champagne glasses. Thanks Lorraine for a wonderful salon in Westchester County!
I had my first haircut a year after my big chop with Lorraine at the new White Plains Devachan location. She treated my hair like it was a prize and actually saved the "fallen curls" to bring home with her. She went through my tight coils and cut curl by curl. I'm obsessed with my haircut and would trust no one but a Deva stylist to cut my hair. Lorraine is the best!
