Okay, the pros - it's a beautiful salon. The staff do a great job keeping everything clean and hair is swept up immediately. And the girls at the front desk are great - one seemed a bit new and stressed but was otherwise quite lovely.
It's been ages since I got my haircut and it's been even longer since I have walked out thinking I've wasted my money on a cut.
I called ahead of time and got lucky that they had a time slot open on a busy day.
My stylist was a bit rude and a bit too pushy of the Aveda products in store for my taste. I'm already there getting my hair done, please ask me if I want to hear about it. Don't demand I need to purchase this product in order to have great hair. No offence but I can't afford to spend $50+ a month on shampoo or conditioner (hi I'm a student). After being told by my stylist that they didn't want to cut my hair any shorter than I had asked because "it takes time to shorten it up (whatever the hell that means)", I was pretty damn irritated. Next the stylist curls the bottom end of my hair (because it's what their other client likes) and I can safely say I hate it. During the entire hair cutting process, I keep talking to the stylist about my ideas and keep getting shot down. Great. Thanks a lot!
So in short, if you like pushy overbearing stylists that will do what they think is best for you - this is your spot! read more
