Update/Review from June 2nd 2022. First, this is not a reflection on Antonio Cremona, or his salon,…read moreas Halima works independently.
At my first visit with Halima, she agreed to do the same Highlights and cut as was done with my prior hairstylist, for 30% increase in $, and all was good (I told her she didn't have to blow dry, but she insisted to do so).
Both times Halima was 15min+ late and not ready, despite I had texted info and photos prior to appointment (since we were new to each other), Debra G was always ready with the mix/solution, when I walked through the door.
June 2nd, Halima was a totally different person, and told me she preferred me to be quiet. I asked if she was ok, and she said not really, personal problems. Almost an hour later (I have really short hair) she walked away, and I wondered why there was no foil in the back of my hair. I found her in the backroom, and asked why, and she said that was what I was due for + not to worry, after the haircut everything would be fine.
She did half the haircut with wet hair, the other with dry, and I felt most uncomfortable with hair flying everywhere.
She also very unprofessionally told me, that my former hairdresser must have really, really loved me, since she would do my hair for the price I used to pay. (Debra G worked fast and efficiently, and managed to do a haircut for another client, while my hair processed, Halima said she couldn't do that).
When Halima showed me the finished result, I said I guess I have to live with that, paid and left.... my hair totally dark in the back= Half Highlights, I was totally in shock.
Texted her next day, asked if she could fix it, she said that would be $50 extra, not to mention my 45 min drive on top of it.
Her childish excuses made me angry, disappointed and feeling ripped off, as she changed our agreement, when I was in the chair!!!
For some people $220 may not be a lot, for me on limited retirement it is.
It also took me 3 weeks, for my hair to look "normal" again, after that strange haircut.
Still puzzled how one person can change so much in less than two month, but one thing for sure... I will NEVER see Halima again.
