Bought a Groupon for ~$70 for a hair cut and partial highlights on a Saturday. Arrived to this Salon and it was just the owner along with one other guy. There was plenty of street parking right in front of the building. The salon itself looks older building but overall clean. All of the combs and hair tools were in a sanitation solution before use. Overall he did a decent job since my SO loved the highlights! It was my first time getting them so he put the foil on with the smelly bleach for awhile until it was light enough to remove. I don't have anything else to compare this experience to.
However, his bedside manners left much to be desired... Age is a sensitive topic for a lot of women and I usually don't mind but in his attempt to make conversation he really severely overestimated my age. It's actually quite comical to recall now. While working on my hair he tried to ask me the typical questions about what I do and where I'm from. He talked about coming straight from Italy and the brutal winters here. Then he stumbled to the topic of asking me, "Do you remember the Blizzard of '78?" Excuse me sir... but I was not even ALIVE then! I can't believe he thought I'm probably in my mid-40s to 50s HAHAHA! I'm glad at least I got a discount on the highlights and a memorable story to remember the place. read more
