I needed a hair cut and decided to search out a small "mom & pop" local shop to get a haircut. I'm a firm believer in "supporting local." That's exactly what I received at Shea's. Uhngi is a one person operation. Excellent customer service and a fantastic haircut at a reasonable price. I was very pleased and extremely satisfied. Highly recommended. I will defiantly return for a haircut the next time I'm in the neighborhood. Mahalo Uhngi!

She used to work at a large Westerly establishment and then took off to start her own gig. One day she called me up to tell me to come on over and become a customer. I really can't judge hair cut quality. I'm a middle aged male who wears his hair short and gets it cut every 4-5 weeks. It can't be too hard to cut my hair. But this is what I like about Uhngi...she complains about the places that charge $30 to cut men's hair. In her own way, she is implying that the client is getting ripped off, i.e., it's an easy hair cut, not too much skill required, not too much hair to cut, etc. And for these reasons, $30 is overpriced for the work performed. For $18 at Uhngi Shea's, I get a great cut...care and attention to detail, good advice about my hair. I always tip her, and why shouldn't I? With a tip, my cost is still about 30% lower than the rest of the local salons. Overall, I've been very satisfied with Uhngi since I first became a client. I don't always get my hair cut in Westerly, but when I do, I get it cut at Uhngi Shea's.

I am so upset I cannot even look at this ragged, nasty cut in the mirror. She destroyed my hair and I am too old to grow it back. Then she is dishonest and said I came in for layers! My daughter and I were competing to see who could grow their hair the longest! Now I have a lousy shag and literally half the hair that I had when I went into the salon for a trim. I have eight inch BANGS! Half my head is BANGS! The other half is shredded strings. RUN AWAY AS FAST AS YOU CAN! The owner blabbed for an hour about how exahausted she was while my daughter waited for her stylist to massacre my hair. My daughter left without a cut. I am just glad I went first or my poor daighter would have had her gorgeous hair destoryed. Sheer madness is exactly how I feel about this horrible salon.
