I struggle with leaving a bad rating, as it's not comfortable for me hide behind my computer and criticize. The only reason I am, is to possibly prepare someone for what "could" happen to them. I did not have a comfortable experience. It felt like I was a number. I explained prior to making the appointment that I had been struggling with finding a place that could cut my hair how I am asking for it to be cut. This was my first time being there. I was not greeted with hi I am "so and so", welcome, nice to meet you, I'll be cutting your hair. I was brought back by an assistant. My hair was washed, then I was brought to the chair. Even at that point I was not greeted by the stylist, no introduction. The stylist stated she had a message from my phone call when I booked, read the notes she had and just started getting to work. Didn't really want to hear in my words, again I felt like I was on an assembly line. She cut, not talking much, which is fine. I can understand someone concentrating while they're working. But she did however talk to people around her, like I wasn't there. She then had her assistant go wash her next client while still cutting me. After my hair was cut, she had not one, but 2 assistants blow drying my hair simultaneously while she cut the next client. When my hair was almost dry, she had one assistant stop drying me to go and get a second clients hair washed. She then came back to do some more cutting to my hair while dry. I had to point out that it still wasn't what I had requested and that she confirmed when my haircut began. I asked her to take more off. I felt like she was rushing through my haircut so that she could get to the second client. And even after cutting more off, it still wasn't as short as I requested. The care didn't feel like it was there, especially after knowing my previous experiences. I also over tipped because I felt the need to tip her what I would normally give a stylist and then both of her assistants on top of that. None of this would have been as big of an issue if I felt like I walked out with a good haircut. It still wasn't what I had asked for and instead of multiple layers, I had two. There was a disconnect with the layering I had asked for. Instead of face framing I got a bowl around my chin and the framing around the face was uneven from side to side. There was a disconnect from the chin layer and the length. She was fluffing it when it was done so I couldn't get a true feel for it until I got to the car and in the natural light that I could see it better. Just disappointing being disappointed yet again, especially after trying to be clear when booking and again not feeling heard in the moment. Another thought is when a new client books, the salon follow up to get this kind of feedback. There might not be as many poor reviews on places if businesses seemed to care about the customer. read more
