I don't usually write reviews. My hair cut here was so blah that I have decided that I must write a review on Yelp to save all the expats and tourists from visiting here.
I wanted to get my hair colored and cut. I specifically said that I'm looking to get balayage. They told me that they do that here. Okay, cool. Let's make the appointment.
On the day of the appointment, I came in with pictures of the color and cut that I want. As the other reviewer mentioned, the people are nice here. They asked me about my hobbies and what I do for a living. That was great. It was all rainbow and sunshine up until that very point.
After seeing the pictures, my hairstylist recommended another type of hair coloring for me. I said that's fine so long as it looks natural. I just want some more color added to my hair (my previous hair color treatment was growing out).
I don't think she's ever experienced coloring naturally dark hair before. I sat there for 4 hours. By the 3rd hour of coloring my hair, she put this heating thing over my hair so that my hair would take in the color. Ummm, okay. Needless to say, nothing changed. No color was added to my hair. After 3.5 hours of "coloring" my hair, my hair color remains exactly the same.
Now, onto my hair. After washing and drying my hair, my hair stylist spent around 15 minutes cutting my hair. When she was finally "done," I looked at it and was speechless. She asked me if I liked it. I'm usually not the type of person to say I don't like something. When something goes wrong, I just suck it up and move on with life. If it's a bad haircut, fine. It's only hair, it'll grow out one day. At least you've tried so I'm not gonna make things here. Let's not make any waves.
However, this is worse than a bad haircut, because my hair was exactly the same as before except for a bang trim. And that was exactly what I said. I told her that it looks like there was no difference. Also, I was pretty sure the back of my hair was uneven. When I had examined it, I pointed that out to her, and she said it's the angle that I was standing at that made it look uneven. Shen then nipped a few pieces and asked me how I like it now. What was I suppose to say. I gritted my teeth and said I liked it (because my hair was exactly the same as I came in. I like my hair before, I just wanted it to be better). After that, I paid and left immediately.
Perhaps it's communication issue. However, I came in with pictures, so I was expecting SOME change. To walk out of the hair salon as if I never went in was a waste of 150 euros. Never again. read more
