I too decided on this salon based on rave reviews. I had a marginal experience. When I arrived I was on time exactly. I let the girl at the front counter know who I was there to see and what time my appt was. She advised I move to the back waiting area and make myself comfortable as my stylist was still on her previous appt. Ok so long story short. My hair washing was one of the most painful experiences I have ever received in a salon. It was if the guy washing it was being punished and made to wash my hair and took it out on me. The stylist was more than 45 min late getting to me. And as I later found out it was because her daughters friend came in unannounced and wanted her hair styled for something she was going to that evening. My stylist seemed rushed and uninterested in my cut. I did not get a bad cut, I will say that. But at $60 a cut and another $10 tip (usually expexcted) my super high hopes were not fulfilled.
Pros: Did received a good haircut
Cons: Late, painful washing, felt as though I was being rushed

I decided to give Sanctuary a try after reading the other reviews. Over the years I've had my hair done at some of the more high-end salons on the island such as Chop, JSalon, Heaven on Earth, etc. None of them come close to Sanctuary salon. I make this claim for several reasons. First, the stylists are wonderful. They are all extremely friendly, talented, and unpretentious. They actually listen to what you want, and make suggestions without being being overly obtrusive. There is a very positive energy between the staff and clientele that can be sensed immediately as you walk through the door. Second, the prices are extremely reasonable. I used to think that to get a good cut, you had to be wiling to pay a hundred dollars or more. I paid around half that amount at Sanctuary and received a better cut than I did at the othe salons I've mentioned in this review, while also having the opportunity to interact with some really great personalities. Highly recommended.
Pros: incredible stylists, reasonable prices
