I don't like to leave bad reviews but I've thought about it for over a month and it needs to be said.
The positives: Heather, my stylist, was very sweet. Great personality. The salon was very clean and it felt lux yet cozy.
The negatives: Heather seemed to have very little experience cutting hair. I told her that I liked the haircut that I had, but it had grown out. Everything needed to be taken about 2-3 inches shorter and add a side sweep bang. My hair was pretty long, about mid back with waterfall layers starting around my shoulder.
After I told her what I wanted she said "oh easy, let's start". She starts with dry cutting my hair and takes about 3 inches of length off. Then takes a small front section, cuts it to my chin...and was satisfied. She then washes my hair and grabs the blow dryer ready to style.
At this point I'm like woah, hold on. I want to see the haircut before it's styled. I tell her the bang looks like a shelf can she please blend it. She struggled with the blending to say the least. 2 other people came over to give advice and she was not able to follow their instruction. Now I have this huge chunk of hair that's cut like a bang, but should be longer. It looks like a mullet.
Then I asked if she shortened my layers. She said she could add more layers in the back. She grabs her texturizing scissors and proceeds to just texturize everything and everywhere. My hair looks and feels so thin now. It looked rough and dirty like I had split ends from top to bottom.
I think she could tell towards the end that this was not a successful haircut. She transferred me to another stylist, but at that point the damage was done. The other stylist offered to fix it for free, which I may still take her up on the offer. However, my hair needs to grow.
I went home and took the scissors into my own hands as I figured I couldn't do worse than what I had. The right side was about 2 inches longer than the left. So I fixed that. I also trimmed down some of my layers just to clean up some of that texturizing. It's a little better...but it's still bad. I wear it up everyday now and am using hair growth oils to help it grow.
I've had bad haircuts before. I used to get my haircut at the Paul Mitchell school so I'm familiar. However, this is a salon charging salon prices. I've had better haircuts done by students charging $20. This haircut makes the list of top 3 worse haircuts I've ever had and I would not go back or recommend Heather to anyone I know. If someone is offering to fix it for free as you walk out of the salon, and they comment that my hair looks nice when I put my beanie on...it probably isn't a good haircut.
Maybe she's good at coloring? If you're looking for a cut...I'd keep looking. read more
