This is not the most glamorous salon, but it gets the job done. It is a chain hair salon that has uniform service. In any other circumstance this wouldn't be a plus, but I kind of like to know what I should expect when it comes to getting my hair cut.
I only go here to get trims, so I can't comment on how they fare with crazy cuts or colors. The main reason I like Palumbo is because they treat you well, listen to what you want and it is the same treatment no matter which salon you go to - very similar to a Great Clips in the states.
The one recommendation I have, is that you tell them very clearly what exactly it is you want - don't leave it up to their creativity. Also, I have learned that in Chile they love using the thinning tool - make sure (from the start) you say you don't want it used on you and if you see them taking something out of their tool belt that doesn't look like scissors, say it again just to be sure.
I like the experience here and the prices are very reasonable. When they wash your hair they give you a massage and they always offer you something to drink. A great salon experience for great prices.
I definitely recommend going to any one of their salons. From my experience, I believe the ones more in the centro (financial district) are more male-focused so if you want some stylists with a bit more flare go to a salon in providencia or in a mall.
Great for simple styles and cuts. read more
