Salon Da’Voe

Never a bad experience… Amanda and Kristin are tops. If you are looking for a new home… Salon Da’Voe is it.

I was looking for a salon to have a single process color and blow dry done. Since we were from out of town, we took the suggestion from a salon nearby our hotel who raved over Salon Da“Voe. I think she knew the owner personally. So when I called to get an idea of what the price would be we were told $ 50 – 60. Then when I called to confirm they said the «new» girl didn’t know the prices so iit would be $ 70. When they finished they charged me $ 90! Plus I was suppose to have the owner (who I believe charges more) but he gave me to another girl – someone new perhaps? For awhile I thought they had forgotten about me as no one came over and offered me anything or asked how I was doing. They clearly figured out I was from out of town and took advantage of that. Lesson learned — don’t let on that your are from out of town and get some recommendations from the hotel or local businesses. But shame on them for treating me like that!

Followed my James to salon DaVoe. I wouldn’t let anyone else touch my hair! James Hickey is the master! Thanks for always making me look beautiful:)

I went to Salon DaVoe for the first time last week. What a fabulous experience! From the moment I walked in the door I was so comfortable. I was walked over to a beautiful seating area with comfortable couches and was offered a mimosa! The shop is beautiful, very bright, spacious and smells wonderful! They also carry wonderful hair products The reason I switched to DaVoe was because I heard that my former stylist, Shawn Smith is now working there. I have to say that Shawn is the BEST! He takes the time to listen to my hair concerns, he is very personable and attentive. He colored my hair a very deep «cofffee» brown and gave me a fabulous haircut that I have been able to maintain. I can’t believe how shiny my usually dull brown hair is! I went to work today and received many complements on my «rich and shiny «hair color. I suggest you become a client Shawn’s… sooo, book your appointment… get to the salon, …sit back and enjoy. You will not leave dissatisfied. I truly can’t wait to go back in 6 weeks!

First off. I’m only doing 4 stars because this is the 1^st and only time I’ve been to a Salon. so I feel like I need another experience to move it up to 5 on my list…
That being said, this review is done from the point of view of a former military man, former chef, and barber shop junkie. it really was MORE than a haircut however.
I’m used to going in to a shop, making some small talk, and coming out with less hair than I went in with. here, that all changes.
I made an appointment with James, who recently had a write up in the Buffalo Spree. I saw his hair, and wanted to copy him. so I figured I’d start at the source.
He took care of me from the moment I walked in, offered to take my jacket, offered me a drink, and then asked me what I wanted to do. he is obviously very experienced and gifted at this particular art form, as he was telling me things about my own hair that I’d never even known.
After some talk, a relaxing wash, he began to change the way my hair looked. Keep in mind, I’ve got the same guy’s haircut for over 12 years. this was the first time I ever remember getting a haircut that wasn’t 80% clippers and a little scissor work at the end… James was meticulous and really sweat the details. he finished with a straight razor in the back and a warm towel. used a little bit of product to show me a desired effect and how to do it on my own.
All in all, I walked in looking for a haircut, and walked out with a whole new view on my hair. I’m very much looking forward to going back and continuing this trend.
–Yes it was a few dollars more than a barbershop cut. but I’ve got no problem paying for a service that is worth it, and I walked out of this Salon almost thinking I got a deal. though if you too feel this way, I’m sure tips are appreciated.

I’ve been back twice since this first review, and I’m happy to report that everything is still just as wonderful as it was the first time I ventured in here. Now I couldn’t imagine going someplace else.

This is a beautiful new salon on Main Street. The staff is very friendly. James Hickey is my stylist & I wouldn’t go to anyone else. He is extremely talented & I highly recommend the salon & James!

Beautiful salon! I had such a great experience at this new salon. My hairdresser moved here and I would follow her anywhere (Elyse), With that being said, I also need to point out the service of the other personnel was exemplary. The entertaining hair dressers, delicious coffee, great fashions to look at on the personnel, etc. I didn’t want to leave. Off street parking in the back is a huge plus as the salon is on Main Street in the Village of Williamsville.
