I'm usually twiddling my thumbs at the House of Hair while Girlfriend gets her hair done. But I've…read morehad my hair cut a few times by one of the girls there (Nedra) and she's always done a great job. I do wish they'd convert the pedicure/manicure/massage room into a "boyfriend waiting room" with an xbox or something, but I guess they'd lose money that way :). As for it being a "house of gossip," girls like to talk. If one of them said something that upset you, speak with the proprietress. There are several stylists there to choose from if one of them rubs you the wrong way. Nedra's really good. UPDATE 11/19/2011: It is my understanding that Nedra no longer works here. But it's still a fine place.

Personally i would not recommend coming here if u want layers. I'm not sure if the stylist i got just wasnt comfortable doing layers but they came out very choppy. It's definitely not the worst haircut ever it's just not great so i wouldn't go back to the same lady. The blow out she gave me was also not very good, it left my hair tangled and i had some pieces that were just sticking out weird after. Overall it's a nice salon and well priced ($48 for women's wash and cut) but i would not recommend if you want a layered haircut or a blow out.

I went into this salon with the intention of getting some dark brown on top and a few lower…read moreombre/balayage pieces of blonde on the lower 1/4 part of my mid back length hair. My hair color was a light brown with golden/red undertones. I had spoken with my sister who is a cosmetologist as well as two other friends who work at hair salons and they all told me that what I wanted would be easy to have done and not be that expensive. I went into InStyle for the first time for my appointment with Jesse. I let her know what I wanted thinking there would be no issue and she immediately took on a very argumentative tone with me regardless of the polite tone that I speak to everyone in. She has no respect for her clients or their wishes whatsoever. I ended up getting a drab basic dark brown all-over color which costed my $125. Back in Jan. I had the same exact service done, an all-over color and cut, at Younique (which I suggest you go to instead) and it was only $95 and the service was infinitely better. I don't enjoy being yelled at by someone who I am paying - she honestly created a scene. I wish I had the guts to grab my bag and walk out the door the first time she started raising her voice and and talking to me so fast and aggressive. Also, I asked for an inch or two off my ends and she only dusted them with a minimal trim. I have never had this problem anywhere as most stylists cut off too much but I barely felt or saw the scissors touch my hair. She said this was because my hair was healthy, however part of her reasoning in not wanting to do the blonde pieces was that it would leave my hair damaged. I told her I had tried blondes in my hair before and it took the process well but she likely wasn't listening to me. Unbelievable. The other ladies that work there seemed like they would have given me equally unsatisfying service. This is honestly a horrible salon. The pictures on Google make it look ritzy and inviting but it is absolute trash I tell you.
