Please read this review and steer clear :-(((( !!!!
Honestly - I thought this guy was talented, but he is also so oddly insecure and unprofessional as to be sort of freaky, really frustrating, angering and thoroughly impossible to work with.
Parts of my first haircut were great and I had such good things to say and such high hopes with Edward. Second and third haircuts were progressively less well done, but I know this happens a lot and I tried not to worry about it too much.
Last haircut Edward started cutting someone else's hair after the start of my appointment time. Potentially problematic, but not necessarily, right?
When he gets to me, he sort of argues or dismisses what I am asking for - annoying and not a good setup, but he seemed to understand what I was going for overall, and it wasn't that important this time because I was getting a cut I could then let grow out for a bit in order to later change it up once some shorter parts were long enough.
He spends five, top eight, minutes on the cut, then gets his assistant to blow dry it. I do not suspect at all that he is done, but think next he's going to dry cut it.
My hair is dry and suddenly he and his assistant are rushing me out. I am pretty sure it can't be done, and try to look at it a little and both he and his assistant start telling me it's great, it's cute, is going to look great, blah blah blah - they are rushing me out (and rather than resisting I figure if it really needs more cleanup I can come back when he's not so clearly behind).
I called to get it cleaned up and arrive when asked.
When he comes out of the back of the salon he barely looks at me before telling me it's even, he doesn't see what he could possibly cut, it's fine. He does this all BEFORE he's even gotten within five feet of me and isn't even facing me straight on!!!!! He doesn't have me sit down, doesn't have me look straight at him, doesn't compare side to side visually or tactilely, doesn't do anything at all to check the cut - just launches into bruised-ego type childish protest, interruption, blaming, says I've done this before (maybe I look like someone he thinks has come in for a clean up before??) and he says any cutting he does is going to be my responsibility - literally says it will be my fault - if he cuts anything wrong?!!! He keeps telling me it's even, then asks me to show him, then cuts me off when I start to, then at one point he asks me to explain and gives me a few more seconds before protesting again, he says he can see it, but then puts the scissors inches into my hair where there only needs to be a couple millimeters of trimming and blending done!!! I demure and then he tells me that I can't see it and that I don't want him to cut it - when really I just didn't want him to take a big chunk out of my hair when he's still acting irrational and telling me his hair cut is and is going to be my fault?????!!!!
