There are two women who cut and style hair here. They also happen to be the owners. I'm only familiar with one of their names just because I specifically ask for her to cut my hair - Allison. FABULOUS. Seriously. I happened to come here the first time because one of Allison's former co-workers who is an aesthetician suggested I try her out. Thank God for this referral. I have NEVER been upset with a cut, though I was a bit skeptical the first time just because I don't expect much from Erie, PA's style department. What can I say? You have high expectations when you come from the metropolitan NYC area.
ANYWAY - I made the mistake of getting my hair cut elsewhere when I moved away, and I had to return to Allison as soon as I visited Erie again. I don't know how she did it, but she fixed the disaster that was on my head. And they offer student discounts! I paid $25 for my cut here when I originally used to pay $65 when in NJ and $34 for the terrible cut in upstate NY. Allison is a phenomenal hairdresser - really. I wish every hairstylist was like her. She listens to what your concerns are as well as to what you want to achieve with your hair. She cuts based on texture and knows how to work with different cultural textures. My hair is thicker and coarser than most, and she creates perfection every time she cuts my hair.
One thing to know: If you call, there's a good chance that no one may answer the phone. Since there are only two stylists, they often act as their own secretary, too. Leave a message and they're sure to get back to you. read more
