Once
every four months I feel the urge to change my hair color, and every time I
look for a new salon. This week, Tulsa
Hair Co on Riverside had its chance.

Nothing
on the outside of it truly distinguished it from a generic hair salon outside
of the word Tulsa. Inside there was a
mix of sleek modern decor, children’s video games, and canvases of Tulsa landmarks
to make it unique. The fashionable
stylists were also dressed completely in black to round out the atmosphere with
a professional vibe.
Before
the session could begin, we had a five-minute consultation. My stylist was
hesitant because the color combination of bright red and denim blue was
uncommon. To help, she pulled out a two-inch-thick
book of hair samples and dyes to choose from.

As
the session proceeded, and the bleach stung my eyes, I heard the hairstylists casually
chat about their plans that week. There
were schedule changes to pick up birthday supplies for a coworker’s 20th
birthday that week, gossip about if a certain coworker was ever going to
apologize for some unknown scandal, and casual insider jokes that confused the
consumer but made the stylist giggle.
The
four-hour session finally ended on a discussion of hurricanes and my new “mermaid”
hair. As one stylist put it, “her hair looks exactly like Ariel! See? It’s the
red of her hair and the dark color of her fins in the water.” My hairstylist, pleased
with her work and photography of the hair, handed me her business card with the
instructions to take care of my hair or else we will have to dye it again next
week.
When
you dye your hair, it’s never cheap, and this place was no exception; however,
the customer service and light-hearted conversations made it worth the price
and drive.
