    The photos I showed Rick of what I wanted, which make the outcome even more laughable.
    Laura G.

    ** EDIT: Got a response as expected. I appreciate him posting our email thread, it just confirms what I've already said including his rude reply. We didn't discuss finer highlights, I never would have agreed to that (which you can see in one of the emails). By the way, thanks for sharing my full name and email address on Yelp, Rick. Professional as always! ** This is going to be long but after paying over $300 to get my hair done by Plan B and then fixed by another salon, I REALLY want to talk about it. Went to see Rick for Balayage highlights on Saturday after reading the rave reviews here. The salon experience itself was great. I showed Rick the pictures of what I wanted and after discussing the best way to achieve the look, I felt like we were on the same page. He was super friendly and easy to talk to, the appointment went by pretty quickly. Once my hair was washed and dried, it didn't look anything like the pictures I showed him, but it still looked good. The lighting in the salon warmed up my otherwise corpse-like complexion and all of the colors matched up really well. He offered to glaze my hair for an additional charge to remove any unwanted tones but I turned him down and went on my merry way. Fast forward to my walk home where I catch a glimpse of my hair in a window. It's yellow. Like, REALLY yellow. I got home, stared at it for about an hour unsuccessfully trying to convince myself that I liked it, and finally gave up and emailed Rick to let him know it needed to be fixed. He responded quickly and let me know it's no problem, he can just glaze it down, and reminds me again that it's another $35 dollars (the charge was mentioned multiple times throughout our exchange. I get it. You want more money). In my panicked anxiety to get it fixed ASAP I agreed to come back on Tuesday for the glaze. I was still pretty upset about how terrible my hair looked and after doing some research on glazes since I was unfamiliar, I emailed Rick again (at 6 in the morning, which is admittedly insane but I'd been up since 4 googling ways to fix my hair so why the hell not). The correspondence was as follows, these are direct copy/pastes: "Hi Rick, Sorry to bother you again, but I've been reading up on hair glazes (stressing about your hair color leads to lots of googling at 4am) and it looks like their effects only last a week or two? I would like the yellow hair permanently toned down closer to my natural color, is glazing the best option? Even if it looks great, it sounds like it'll fade quickly and then I'll be right back to where I am now. I would prefer not to spend $35 every two weeks getting this reglazed until it grows out. Is there another option or will glazing still be my best bet? Thanks, Laura" Rick responded: "Laura, let me do my job.....ps glaze after a Balayage is $35, a stand alone glaze appointment is $70. Now, just take it easy...." I was shocked. It's not unreasonable for a client who's dissatisfied with a service to ask questions about the best way to resolve the problem, especially since it's been made explicitly clear that more money will need to be spent to do so. All he needed to say was "yes, the glaze is temporary so we can do XYZ instead" or "no, the glaze lasts so and so amount of time and should give you the results you want." I responded with basically a summary of my previous paragraph as well as pictures of what my hair looked like, considering he hadn't seen it outside of the salon and in the real world. He replied by blaming the color in one picture on my bathroom lighting ("No wonder! Get rid of that bulb!!"), saying the other picture is the color I "left the salon with and loved", and saying I should still come in and get the glaze. He had already lost me after telling me to take it easy, but his combative responses and willingness to place the blame literally everywhere else sealed the deal. I had noticed his comments on every single negative review here and now I get it. The "it's not me, it's YOU" way he handles things is so off putting, I will never step foot in that salon again and have already turned off several potential clients just by going out in public with that hair. HAPPY ENDING: I managed to snag an appointment Monday at Salon Luna where the incredible Bryanna brought me back to my almost exact natural color. We all cheered when she washed my hair and announced that the yellow was gone. OH, and I asked her about the glaze Rick kept pushing as the fix. She confirmed it was as temporary as I had read it was which I'm guessing is why he never answered my questions about it. And now I can go back to pretending this never happened.

    Streaky and unnatural looking roots - very dissapointed

    Erin B has cut my hair three times now. To give you a sense of how I feel about these cuts: the…read morethird appointment happened when it did because I used it to motivate myself through an unpleasant project. "If you get through all this horrible work, you get to experience another one of Erin's cuts!" It worked. After many years of hearing that short cuts wouldn't suit me*, Erin took her time listening to my vague hopes and figuring out my concerns. She ended up creating something that not only made me look and feel better--it also grew out better than any other haircut of my life. Short cuts are supposed to need constant upkeep, and my hair in particular is bothersome. There's such an awful lot of it. Erin's cuts somehow make me look like I have a reasonable amount of hair while also growing out into delightful new shapes. It must not be just me who thinks so, because I get compliments not just immediately following the appointment but well after, too. *Note that I have had other short cuts--one from another salon around Boston and two in another country--and none of them garnered the same enthusiasm from myself or others. So it's not just a matter of long hair not suiting me.

    I've been going to Erin for nearly ten years, and I truly wouldn't trust anyone else with my hair…read more When she started working at Evie Salon, I followed her there--and I'm so glad I did. She makes every appointment feel effortless. Booking is always easy, she's incredibly accommodating, and she consistently makes the experience smooth and enjoyable. Evie itself is a beautiful, calming space in Davis Square, with great parking and lots of places nearby to grab a coffee or walk around after. The whole vibe is warm and welcoming. Getting a haircut can sometimes feel awkward or forced, but Erin creates such a relaxed environment that I always feel at ease. Whether we're chatting or I just want to sit quietly, it never feels like I have to "perform" during my appointment. I can't recommend Erin--and Evie Salon--enough. Consistently excellent, every single time.
