Not so GREAT.
I've gone to this place a few times and have received advice on getting a "micro-trim" to continuously grow out my hair.
I've since attended 2 times 4-6 weeks apart with the advice of Stephanie (she was kind and lovely to work with).
A trim is intended to clean up split ends- that's it.
Well- TODAY WAS MY THIRD time and wow do I regret it. Needless to say- Stephanie was NOT the one who cut my hair, it was Relle. Plot twist- Relle absolutely is terrible at cutting hair, careless, and doesn't give a fuck to keep her job.
Here's my experience and observations:
I specified I wanted a micro trim from the start(like I've done that past 2x). She showed me roughly 2 inches of hair that wouldn't need to be cleaned up.
From previous experiences- I thought naturally- she would wet my hair- start bit by bit since my hair is long, and take her time to use a thin comb to straight out my hair before cutting it.
Taking one inch from the bottom and another inch when putting-in long layers....
NOPE. She started with DRY trimming my hair in 4 inch sections (length). Gives me a round bob-cut- shoulder length and says "that's it..."
Im baffled at this point, because literally it can't get any worse. But wait...
I ask her - "eh what about the long-layers, etc. my hair is curly.
Her response, "Well, you didn't have any, so.."
Me: "Well, I don't want a 'triangle shaped' hair cut."
Her response, "I don't know what you mean...?"
-______-
She proceeds with again, using a wide tooth comb- ripping my hair as she combs through it- and continues to snip snip, as she's evening out her shitty, poorly don't hair cut.
Halfway through the haircut she decides to inquire about my curl pattern( it's really too late by this point, my hair is fucked).
Had she wet me hair like every OTHER STYLIST IVE EVER HAD- she would've seen the curl pattern.
Cutting dry poofy hair- oh yeah- it's uneven and I let her know,
"I don't think it's even..."
Her response, "It's even."
I wasn't going to fight her- I was ready for this night mare to be over.
I was so upset- I went back later that day to get a refund. SURPRISE- they don't give your money back for a shit experience and a shit haircut.
Needless to say- zero experience, extremely poor listening skills, zero professionalism or care for her job.
"Oh weren't you here earlier today?," she says as she's chilling on a chair.
"Yep." I proceeded to tell he all of the above, clearly upset by the situation.
Zero responsibility.
And her response was "well I showed you how much I was going to cut off... and you said yes..." YES TO 6 inches of my hair- homie? Fuck no I did not.
Oh my bad, girl, you got poor listening skills and it's my fault for trusting you to know wtf a micro trim is, or trusting you- the professional- to explain one damn thing you plan on doing, etc!
I left feeling beyond upset. This girl literally butchered my hair like she genuinely didn't give a fuck about her job. Half the time she was staring out into the atmosphere. Clearly didn't see my hair had layers. -____-
My fault in this was I was:
a. too nice to not get up 2 seconds from sitting down
b. giving her a benefit of the doubt
c. Giving her a $3 dollar tip when she deserved none.
Lesson to learn: get the FUCK up if you don't vibe or feel comfortable with your hairstylist. Period. read more
