I have been looking for a stylist who can slay a Short cut to no avail. Yes they all start off…read morepretty ok with the color (I said just ok), I finally have a better grasp of my hair color and just needed a stylist who can cut. My haircut is a very short pixie and in my opinion fairly easy to manage, but haircuts that are done incorrectly can make or break a style.
I have had the worst cuts by the so called best, and others that I wonder why they're still open. Don't get me started, just read my reviews, lol I need to update a few since the services have deteriorated. At any rate, I was getting desperate I began to experiment with barber shops, and unconventional establishments in pursuit of the Nirvana of cuts, lol. I got closer to the perfect haircut at the unconventional establishments than I did in the Boujee hundreds of dollars for walking through the door places. (Yes I did that)
I recently visited Pamper Salon and Day Spa for the first time, and initially I didn't think I would return, (there was a blue gel incident that left me feeling mehh) but that cut. I had to confirm that it wasn't a fluke.
I walked in and was greeted, and immediately seated in Anne the stylist chair. The place appeared to be more like a nail salon than a total beauty experience. Nevertheless I requested a trim, and shape up (in order to maintain healthy hair and growth you must cut off dead ends, and toxic relationships lol). Anywho, Anne washed my hair (BTW heavenly scalp massage), and immediately began cutting my hair. I could tell she was good and a perfectionist, because she's only the second person who didn't have to keep checking the front of my face to gage whether the sideburns are even or not. I was really impressed, however there was this blue gel situation that had me kind of funky.
Upon completion of the haircut I requested styling mousse or gel for hold, and Anne didn't have any hair products. I wasn't requesting any specific or special products, whatever they had if appropriate was fine. I'm not very particular about styling gel/mousse as long as it doesn't turn my hair a different color, no alcohol, toxins or animal testing. Let me tell you resourceful Anne located a gel for me and commenced to apply. It appeared blue and I questioned it, and she assured me that it would dissolve upon rubbing in, (I have purchased products like that so I thought ok) well it didn't. I was very disturbed, however went home and washed my hair again and had a hell of a time getting it out, that's a whole nother story. I'm really surprised at how I handled that, lol. I assure you that the review wasn't going to be as nice. When I finally got my color corrected, that haircut was fly as s**t!
A month later it was time for my routine cut, and as hesitant as I was, I loved the cut. I gave Anne another shot, and I'm absolutely ecstatic with the results! The best part of my experience was that Anne paid attention and actually listened to me. She felt badly about the blue incident. She was so knowledgeable and asked me exactly what I wanted. She took her time to make sure everything was perfect. She was eager to style my hair to my satisfaction without my interference and even purchased better styling products, I was blown away at her attention to detail. She made me feel so special. I've never had such an amazing haircut before!
They offer other services at Pamper Salon and Day Spa. I will be trying out some of the other services really soon. The spa also offers facials, waxing, and massage services. I highly recommend Pamper Salon and Day Spa to anyone looking for a cost effective relaxing and luxurious experience, and amazing cut. The staff is friendly, and they have a good variety of services. I'm definitely going back for my monthly designer cut by Anne!
