This is a LONG review so brace yourself!!
So my husband and I were desperate to get a hair cut and I googled places near where we are staying and came across this place. My hubby was first in line to get a hair cut and his came out pretty cool.
Now... comes the one star review... My hair cut...
This salon only got the one star because of how nice and attentive the receptionist was and was really nice to converse with. And also I was attended quickly and was there no more than 45 minutes.
There was this french guy who came up to me and greeted me and the receptionist receptionist washed my hair went on about how we were in good hands and how she would never trust anyone else touch her hair... I should've smelled the white lie!
The products she used to washed my hair smelled just like head and shoulders or pert plus... WHAT?
She sat me next to my hubby and towel dried my hair and complemented my hair 5-6 more times. She then applied this leave in called 10 in 1... Its a little blue bottle with a pink and white circle in the front... I personally used that stuff and it sucks! Makes your hair feel like straw... I grew even more nervous! I just simply thought... Ok... maybe they will know how this stuff works? I patiently waited until the french guy finished my hubbies hair...
Finally my turn!!
He was nice and gentle with my hair and complemented my hair before cutting(I normally get complemented because I have very light weight straight/wavy hair?). He seemed a little confused at the term "side swept bangs." Hmmm... Nervousness boosted 40%...
Here's the problem with me and salons... The thing that sucks about me is my vision, I have horrible eyesight and I cannot see what is going on until it's too late! Hah, you know where this is headed...
So now onwards to the cut!!
He works on my hair flipping and tossing my hair as he cut as if he was making a pizza pie or some fancy salad... I guess he tried to make it look like he's such a professional... pfft to say the least...
Before even drying my hair he boasts... "So vat du ju think about this a French man cutting ju hair?" (you have to read it with a French accent). I just laughed nervously and murmured... ok...
He takes the blow dryer and asked me how I normally style my hair... I told him I normally let it air try naturally. He then says, "ok then natural it is!"
He puts this weird black sock like thing over the blow dryer tip... IDK what it was (remember I'm blind!) and starts tossing my hair again like a salad to dry it... He only used the brush on my bangs... Since the bangs were laying in front of my eyes I can tell it was not looking good... Nervousness 80%... I just kept say... "he's not done... he's not done!!"
Finally he finishes and from what I can tell from the blurry reflection that my hair looks HORRIBLE!!!
I gulped and sighed and placed my glasses on... WTHF!!!!
MY HAIR LOOKED LIKE A LIONS MANE! BRAIN EXPLOSION!
It was dry and so thirsty looking! My hair reminded me of those horrible 80s pooffy poodle hair styles where the hair looked burned! I thought... IMMA PUERTO RICAN POODLE!!! I was soooo desperate to get out!
The french guy saw that I tried sooo hard to keep a smile on my face and asked..."Don't you like it?"
I didn't answer for a few seconds and asked him,,, "Um... WHY does my ends look DRY?"
"OH! it's the humidity... um.. it makes your hair look dry... but your hair looks BEAUTIFUL," He replied.
I said,"Is it because it is still wet??"
"Oh it is because of the humidity!... um I can put a serum?" Really? Humidity in their cool salon? I understand my hair suffering in the scorching hot sun as I walk home but in the salon... c'mon now...
Any way, he scurried off to get some random product and fluffed it into my hair making it WORSE. I can feel the vein under my eye twitch.
"You see better! only at the ends!" He goes to their product wall and shows me the product... L'oreal? REALLY?!?! That brand sucks!
"No it's ok thank you..." I said...
Sigh... I would tell you how much I paid at this place who uses pert plus shampoo and L'oreal but,,, Im too ashamed...
The price was outrageously expensive, maybe because it said "Paris" and sell L'oreal professional LE SUCK products...
So there you have it kiddies! If you want to look like a french poodle feel free and pay too much :D
If you will excuse me... Imma wash this crap out my hair in hopes of better results and try to keep my eyes from welling up with tears...
So to answer his previous question... You sir are pepe Le SUCK! read more
