When I first moved to Tuscaloosa, I was worried about finding a local hair salon. As it turns out, a lot of students are skeptical of “trying” a new place and are more than willing to travel back home for a hair cut. Luckily, I went on a limb, took many recommendations from locals and tried the salon, H2O.

H2O is located at 1928 7^th Street in Tuscaloosa. It is the adorable blue house right down the road from Innisfree Irish Pub. From the moment I walked in the door, I knew it was the salon for me! It is the perfect, southern beauty salon experience with a modern feel. The staff is very welcoming and the music they play is awesome! Most importantly, the work has the overall advantage.

I have had TERRIBLE experiences such as broken off hair from bad color, choppy haircuts and spending too much money. If you can imagine, I was extremely nervous to trust another person to do my hair and hesitant of the cost.

After my first hair appointment, I was very pleased with my new look! The color did not damage my fine, thin hair and the cut was done precisely to my expectations. I started recommending H2O to friends that were weird about finding a local salon like me; they were just as pleased with their results as I was. If there is ever a need for a formal look, H2O also creates beautiful styles for any sorority/fraternity party or special occasion.

Doing hair is not their only expertise; the wax center is great and has SPRING BREAK SPECIALS!! With Spring Break right around the corner, you can’t beat a $35 Brazilian with the exact same wax as the European Wax Center. The price is also altered for groups. This is a perfect idea for friends to get together before Spring Break to get a discounted wax before a fun beach trip.

The salon additionally has wonderful retail with brands like Moroccanoil, Milk Shake, TIGI Cosmetics, and many, many more! I buy all of my hair care products during my visits and I am taught how to style my hair appropriately with the products I purchased!

Next time you are in a bind to go home for a haircut, reconsider trying the local salon, H2O. Never be afraid to try new things and enjoy the convenience of the location, relaxation and suitable prices. I hope you enjoy H2O salon and retail center as much as I have the last four years I have been at the University of Alabama!
