BEWARE BED BUGS!!!
The location is great but they have BED BUGS there!!! We spent 2 nights there at the end of February.
On our first night in the hotel, we were waken up at about 2am scratching all over. We turned on the light to see what was going on and were horrified to see our arms covered in multiple bites, with a few on the faces as well. We had a close look at the linen and discovered a number of small crawling insects – mostly on the pillows (both outside and inside pillow cases), on
the bed sheets, in the folds of bed sheets around the mattress. There were also blood smudges, apparently from bugs we accidentally squashed in our sleep. A quick internet search gave us the answer what we were dealing with – bed bugs... We spent the rest of the night in the sitting room, scratching and trying to sleep in the chairs. After talking to a receptionist in the
morning, we were moved to a different apartment for the rest of our stay (with no bugs found there, thankfully). The receptionist and other hotel staff inspecting the infested room expressed surprise – but had a fumigation service number on speed dial and knew the names of people working there...
After that stay, we had to wash and dry, freeze or throw away everything we had on or with us (which was time-consuming and expensive), not to bring any 'guests' home, and we are till covered in multiple ugly bite spots...

Troy is fantastic! He transferred my quite ordinary, color damaged hay-like hair into shiny healthy looking modern hairstyle! When I went out that night I could see people were looking at my hair - they looked great!
Troy advised the style and the color that suits best for my face type and skin tint and that allows frequent roots coloring without any damage to already fragile hair.
Troy is the best! My hair looks amazing since Troy styled them. I am very glad I found Troy's salon and I highly recommend it.

Approximate cost: $120
