FINALLY! with the pandemic I hadn't gotten my haircut in close to two years and had A LOT of reservations about who and where I should go. I had a giftcard someone gave me to try them (again, almost 2 years ago) and decided to finally use it. I have long hair that only got longer and more out of control, dead weight so I knew I needed a cut.
When I called to make an available appointment she asked me when I would like to come in and what I was looking to have done, based on that she suggested JANET. When I got there I told the receptionist how I wanted to add on a hair mask as well. I sat and she told Janet I was there, wanted to add the treatment, and send me to get washed... Janet told her to wait that she wanted to meet me and see what was going on, if I did actually need it... Mind you she was still working with a young lady but took time to walk over and introduce herself and ask me what I was looking to have done, checked my hair and scalp and THEN suggested a hair mask/oil treatment. She even walked me over to the girl who was going to wash my hair to make sure everything was good for me. The owner came over as well, introduced himself, and was kind. He suggested a length that he thought I should cut at bare minimum to restore some health to it and after talking with JANET we even went a little shorter!
The washer took her time, gave me a nice scalp massage, (could have went harder but that's my fault for not saying anything), and did her thing even with my super long hair. When I was done I went back to wait for her to wrap up with the young lady and I couldn't help at staring because the girl was grinning from ear to ear. She was even taking time to show her and her mom, what she was doing so the girl could do it for herself; which I found to be so kind and genuine that my nerves just disappeared...
When I got into Janet's chair, we chatted about how I wear my hair, confirmed expectations, and got started. She was checking in with me for length for the first few cuts, which I appreciated because Ive had people who just flat out do what they want and you have to sit there getting more and more upset... not today! I put my head down, we chatted, and when I picked up my head I felt like a new person, and she wasnt done. She angled the front for me and left it at a the length I wanted to shape my face, in addition to the layers throughout.
She blew it out for me and again, I felt like a whole new person and couldn't stop smiling. She asked if I wanted a little more off in the front and once she saw I was a little hesitant, she told me to think about it and if i want to come back at any time to trim off in the front she'll take me at no additional charge. She told me even if I want it two weeks from now, she'll remember and to stop back in.....
I thanked her, paid and left. By the time I got to my car I had two compliments, looked at my hair and my smile, facetimed my sister and decided 'I trust her'. So I ran back in! She had already started her next client, but it really wasnt a problem at all! She did the things she had to do for her next client, then made a couple of quick cuts and again, I'm so glad I did.
My hair feels and finally looks so much healthier, and my over confidence has been boosted. I'm so glad I finally used this giftcard because I now have a stylist I can trust and return to! read more
