I am not one to leave poor reviews, but yikes!
This review is for stylist Brendan.
I just got a cut and blow out from him today. When I got in the chair he asked me what I wanted. I explained that I have been growing out my bangs(they are about an inch or two past my chin) and that they are disconnected from the rest of hair and that I would like to have them blended in to the rest of my hair or thinned out so that they are not so blunt. I also explained that I wanted more layers. I have very long hair.
When we went to wash my hair, he shampooed my scalp, rinsed it off, squeezed it dry and then we went back to his booth. YOU GUYS, HE DID NOT CONDITION MY HAIR. You can imagine what the combing out process felt like.
I LEFT WITH LESS LAYERS THAN I CAME WITH.
For the first time in my life I had what seemed like a stylist just chopping at my hair without a method. He did not really section off my hair and work at a section at a time. He just kept going in circles with my hair and cutting it over and over over again. It was the strangest thing ever. He barely touched my bangs, if anything I think he made them more blunt.
When he was done cutting he was showing me what he did before he dried my hair. I told him that my right side looked like it had way less layers than the left and that I just wanted more layers in general. He first blamed it on the lighting. He went through my hair once more and said it was fine and that all the layers were there and that once he blew dry it I would see more. So after blowing out my hair we moved to a different chair with "better lighting", he then said I cant see the layers because of the color of my hair!!!!!!!! WHAT?!? My hair is my natural brown color. I don't care if my hair was all the colors of the rainbow or jet black, I should be able to see my layers. I HAVE HAD LAYERS MY ENTIRE LIFE.
He could tell that I was unhappy with my haircut and just kept telling me not to worry and that I look sexy.... What the hell. Instead of giving me empty compliments, fix my hair!!!!!!
I did not want to be in the awkward situation of continuing to tell him that I did not like the "layers" he put into my hair so I just paid and left.
It's really a shame, I was excited to find a salon up here that also offered other services like facials and body massages. But if this is what service is like I think I will pass.
I originally left 1 star but because I feel it's unfair to leave a 1 star because of one stylists actions I've updated it to 3 stars do to the following:
Overall, the place seemed clean and the other girls around me seemed to be happy with their hair. Maybe I just got a bad apple. read more
