I needed a hair cut and decided to search out a small "mom & pop" local shop to get a haircut. I'm a firm believer in "supporting local." That's exactly what I received at Shea's. Uhngi is a one person operation. Excellent customer service and a fantastic haircut at a reasonable price. I was very pleased and extremely satisfied. Highly recommended. I will defiantly return for a haircut the next time I'm in the neighborhood. Mahalo Uhngi!

Uhngi Shea is the owner and operator of Shea's Beauty Parlor. Uhngi has been open for about 3-4…read moreyears now, maybe longer (I forget). She used to work at a large Westerly establishment and then took off to start her own gig. One day she called me up to tell me to come on over and become a customer. I really can't judge hair cut quality. I'm a middle aged male who wears his hair short and gets it cut every 4-5 weeks. It can't be too hard to cut my hair. But this is what I like about Uhngi...she complains about the places that charge $30 to cut men's hair. In her own way, she is implying that the client is getting ripped off, i.e., it's an easy hair cut, not too much skill required, not too much hair to cut, etc. And for these reasons, $30 is overpriced for the work performed. For $18 at Uhngi Shea's, I get a great cut...care and attention to detail, good advice about my hair. I always tip her, and why shouldn't I? With a tip, my cost is still about 30% lower than the rest of the local salons. Overall, I've been very satisfied with Uhngi since I first became a client. I don't always get my hair cut in Westerly, but when I do, I get it cut at Uhngi Shea's.

The girl who was doing my hair is graduating college with me tomorrow and was nowhere near a professional. This is something I could've easily done at home in my own time and instead had to pay $40. Another more experienced hairdresser had to step in and take over at a point because it was so bad. She had another client so she wasn't able to finish it, However, if she did, I think it would've looked 100 times better. The cherry on top was one of the other workers in this establishment SHUSHED me while i was getting my hair done. It is a hair salon and there is 100 Dryers everywhere and I obviously cannot hear my own voice. If I was being loud, he could've asked me respectfully to lower my voice was rude and obnoxious.

She knows her product and the way of the curl, and confidently talks to you about how to treat your hair. Her price for the cut is fair as well, unlike one place I went to. Not only do they show their knowledge, they also are rather hospitable, and will serve you tea or coffee during your stay. I only have two issues with Amici. 1) They need a clone of Julie, because it takes a bit of time to get an appointment with her. :( 2) You can't write tips on your credit card/ATM/Debit card. That makes me sad, I had to go into a nearby convinced store to get cash, and I came out smelling like fried chicken and incense sticks-- AND I JUST HAD MY HAIR WASHED, AND STYLED. That makes me extra sad. Yes, I love this place!
