Mariko is very nice and I really wanted to like her work. Cute shop, friendly. I'm sorry to leave this review but I was steered completely wrong on both yelp and vagaro.
My haircut was not good at all. I wouldn't recommend her for shorter hair (or hair in a bob sort of shape and cut to the hairline in the back). When it started to grow out it was an utter mess. When I left I still felt like it needed to be cut a bit more but then I needed a haircut quickly after seeing her, total mess.The grow out was awful. After I left I realized it was completely uneven. The next stylist I saw said this haircut is terrible, it's not blended at all. Yes I realize the haircut is bad. I wish stylists wouldn't embark on a haircut they can't do. It's frustrating to get a haircut and have the next person go, yikes. The best thing would have been for her to tell me, I don't do shorter hair or I can't cut your hair but don't say I do precision haircuts because there wasn't anything precise about my cut.
I feel bad leaving this because she was very sweet and she definitely tried, but I expect someone with 30 years of experience to do a great job or to tell me they can't cut my hair. I typically will let my hair grow out for several months... and in 5 weeks I was in desperate need of a haircut. It's great she has loyal clientele. Her layering was completely off.I don't know. But a total waste of time & money. One star haircut. read more
