I went here because it was recommended by a couple people, and my husband got a good hair cut here. They seem good at doing trims.
If you don't know what you want to do with your hair, then it's a fine place to go. It's clean,quiet (at least when I went), and the stylists are generally nice. But if you know what you want, then I'd suggest finding somewhere else.
Worst salon experience of my life. I get bored with my hair and like to try new, unique styles and always bring pictures. I wanted a pixie and left with a trim of the style I'd had for months and was tired of.
My stylist barely glanced at the picture and then asked me what I wanted. I replied, "exactly like the picture," and she still didn't even take a second look.
She was inexperienced and had to call for help. The "better" stylist instructed her to always use water when cutting hair--she hasn't heard of dry cuts?! I've gotten the best cuts of my life with dry cuts and swear by them.
I offered to show her the picture, and she completely ignored me. When they were done and it was NOWHERE near what I wanted, I asked for more layers and for the asymmetrical side to be cut off (that's in large part why I wanted to cut my hair; it had been cut before by a stylist who was doing her best but left too much bulk and put in too much layering so it would never lay right), and she said "Oh, but I like it. You should leave it!" I told her it didn't lay right, and she asked me if I had a flat iron. Of course I do! She said I should leave half of it behind my glasses, and that would help; I do that already. She wouldn't add any more layers because "my hair is too fine." I've had a layered pixie before and it looked darn good too! I don't mind making changes to a cut according to what my hair will do, but the time to tell me is before the cutting starts, and I should have input since it's my hair!
I have never felt so belittled and ignored by a stylist in my life. It was as if I knew nothing about hair, my opinion didn't matter, and she knew better. I felt bullied to go along with whatever she wanted which is ridiculous; I have dealt with lots of stylists over the years, and I have never been made to feel that way. She liked my current style so decided to trim it. They all said "it looks so good!" but honestly, it's hard for me to have a short cut that doesn't look good.
The original stylist was very sweet and I don't fault her, but the one who "helped" was terrible. My first stylist could tell I didn't like it and offered to do it over or fix it however I wanted, but I declined because I knew she couldn't do it; if neither she nor the other stylist didn't have the sense to look at what I wanted or the skill to do it the first time, they wouldn't be able to do it the second time. read more
