I never cut my hair. I finally went in for a cut/trim after 8 months of avoiding it. I hate going because I've never found a salon where they know how to give me what I want. But this was the first time I went to a salon where I got exactly what I wanted and was more than happy with the results.
I went in for a walk in on a Thursday afternoon. There was one other person waiting to go before me and she was getting her hair colored. Once that client was started, Lisa started on me, so I didn't have to wait long (5 minutes).
Lisa did a great job with my hair. I've never been happier with someone working with it. When I walked in I wanted to clean up my hair with a 2 inch trim, get rid of the split ends, and fix my bangs. Even though we didn't speak too much to each other, she still understood what I wanted.
I also learned how much I don't know about my own hair when I went in for my cut. She did do a couple things that we didn't discuss. BUT it's crazy because those were the things that I LOVE the most about my visit. She made my bangs shorter than I originally planned, and she thinned out my hair a little. I originally wanted my bangs to be on the longer side and I didn't even think about thinning it out in the moment.
With the bangs, I've gotten used to people just cutting it quickly and leaving me with a chunk of shorter hairs that feel clumpy and ungraceful. But when Lisa was working with my bangs, she gave it more life. My bangs look much more light, feathered, and graceful than before. She spent time on it to make sure it was just right, which I love.
And with thinning my hair, it has crossed my mind once or twice but I never verbalized that I wanted it. Now I can see how that's a problem for some people, but for me, I was okay with it. My hair is thick, and usually feels suffocating because of it. I noticed after she thinned it out a little, I felt like I could breathe more, because the extra weight was taken out.
You can really see that she is a perfectionist in her work. She took so much time with my hair and finally stopped trimming it after she realized she was going to take too long on it. I've never felt like I had so much attention for a 2 inch trim! (Granted this could be because her other client was still waiting for the color to set in, so I was the only other client there at the time)
Regardless, this is definitely my go-to place for now on. My hair has never felt more amazing from a haircut before. I paid $35 for my wash and cut, and she also styled it a little for me. Amazing and will definitely come back before 8 months for this experience again! read more
