I have seen the posts -- a few folks looking for stylists who are good with curly / wavy hair. Anyone have a recommendation for a salon / stylist who is good with straight hair? and color (fun color).
A bad cut shows up really well on very straight hair... and well, my gray is coming in faster than it used to! :-)
I can vouch for Swank...Ian, Bonnie or Ryan, they have taken care of my straight, graying hair for 4 years now. Perfectionists, all of them, whether it is color or cut, and very reasonable with the pricing.
Call me. My name is Cassie. I always take as much time as needed to make sure the client and I are on the same page. Part of getting a great cut is making sure your stylist is listening and makes you feel comfortable. My # is 715-9992. I know you will enjoy the experience.
I went to studio Red, and got the Grey haired lady from Colorado (don't remember her name) she did a wonderful job on my baby fine hair, but she was a bit too chatty for my taste, now I am devoted to Ian of (currently?) Swank.
I would recommend Jennifer at Heart & Soul (if you don't want to wait like 3 months to see Gerhardt) she does really fun and interesting color, and is a pro with straight hair. She has done gorgeous things with my hair (super straight) and my friends hair (also straight). Good Luck!
Call Frank at Element salon. I have been going to him forever and he is fantastic. Everyone at that salon is, actually. They are on Montgomery, east of Wyoming. Call early though, he books up fast.

thanks this discussion, JeSais!
Sarah, could Ian be moving to Chez D'o R Salon & Day Spa at 117 Gold Ave SW? A google search for "chez hair salon abq" listed it. my straight, grey hair will need a good cut when we move to NM. Within walking distance of the HS lofts - all the better. thanks!
ok well either Swank is not open on Mondays (No indication of their hours on their voice mail) Or they don't need the my business. I called at about 10:30 a.m. and no call back.
