I am sitting here trying to think of how not to drag this out, but there is def a story here!…read moreI make an "impulsive" appt. telling the owner exactly what I want done, and that my hair was waist length. She tells me there are 2 girls, and she chose the one I should have. So I show up, and this girl reeks of cigarette smoke...not a terrible thing, I can deal with that. We proceed to look at photos of cuts and finally decide on one. The girl was acting all excited to be cutting my hair, and kept saying she was going to have so much fun. I asked for my "pony tail".
She began cutting away...I chose a very short cut. Part way thru she decided to use her razor. All of a sudden she cuts her thumb! Blood everywhere! Now she is sucking on her thumb like a vampire...the bleeding won't stop! She is trying to work on my hair, and I am getting nervous about her blood getting in my hair. She laughs, and tells me she had her HIV shot...seriously, there is NO such thing! Now she tries to find a bandaid...to no avail. She continues to suck blood, and cut my hair, sigh*!
I notice there is Kleenex overhead, and suggest she wrap her finger and apply pressure. At first she hesitated, then grabbed a Kleenex to humor me, I think. I also saw rubber gloves, and suggested she put one on until the bleeding stops, she declined.
Finally that fiasco is over, and she is cutting closer, and getting to where we are almost finished. I told her several times to get rid of my side burns! Needless to say, I had to get rid of them myself when I got home.
The hair around my ears would be pushed back, and I noticed that she cut into my hair wrong, leaving a blunt chopped look. I brought this to her attention, and actually had to tell her what way to hold my hair in order not to get this affect. By now, I wanted to leave! I was actually scared!
I wanted the top of my hair spiked, but she didn't cut it short enuff to spike, so it just lays flat.....I will have to fix that myself also. I even told her what scissors to use to get the "effect" I was looking for..the thinning shears. Seriously, this girl had no clue about cutting hair.
I forgot to mention that the 1st 45 minutes of being there, I had to listen to her "Life Story". Not impressed!
Ok, all done, now I want gel. Well, she can't find any!
So far since I been there, this is a salon with no elastics, no bandaids, and no gel...except for sale. She finally finds some, and proceeds to put it on "dry" hair...again, I told her to wet my hair, then apply the gel.
I am sure I have forgotten other details, but this will do for now.
I paid this girl $50.00 for a horrible experience!
I want to add, that the reason I wanted to go to this place is because I had gone there over 30 yrs ago, and was very pleased. The owners have changed.
I will Never go back there!
