I was referred to this place by a couple of people at my old job. They recommended a bunch of different people so i decided to just take my luck, and take whoever was available. I walked in one morning and was greeted by some Caucasian woman. (I apologize that I have to go by their ethnicity since I can't remember names too well =X). I told her that I needed a cut and full color, and she was able to take me in that second -- cool. So we sat down and got started. She was very nice and easy to talk to the entire time, but I began feeling a bit queezy about her doing my hair since she kept asking all the other stylists there for advice =/. Not to mention that when I asked her to cut my layers a little shorter she said she didn't want to do it, and no matter how much I insisted that it was the style I wanted, she wouldn't do it. Anyways, in the end my hair came out decent ... but I paid ~$150 w/tip.
I decided to come back another time with my co-worker/friend Maria, who recommended Cindi (I think that's how you spell her name). We did a double appt, where she worked on both of us at the same time, both of us getting a full color/cut. Oh, and BW, the woman I went to for my first visit was no longer working there when I went back for my 2nd one. But moving on, Maria's hair ended up a bit multi-colored that day ... with some red/pink/purple streaks mixed into ther brown/blonde/black hair -- BUT it all did wash out, leaving her with some amazing looking highlights that kept its color till our next visit. My hair came out great as well, and so did my cut. I also got a set of hair supplies bringing my grand total to ~$210 w/tip.
On my most recent visit I went back with Maria to do another double appointment, but I guess Cindi couldn't do it this time. I realized at this point that they're pretty good at getting people fitted in the day of for their services, which is a huge plus. I arrived first and she asked me to go with another stylist, which was a Latina woman. My 3rd stylist trying there. She was super nice and I liked talking to her. Not to mention that she did an AMAZING job. I LOVE my hair ... LOVE! I only got a color this time since I'm letting my hair grow long, but the color turned out great, and EXACTLY what I wanted. Not to mention that she also fixed my bangs up for me =P. Oh, and my friend Maria's hair turned out FAB as well. My total for this last visit was ~$130 w/tip.
Sadly I don't think I'll be able to make it back into the area in time for my touch up ... but maybe I'll come here every other visit, and attempt to find a spot in NYC that can just make it bearable till I can get back. Till then I'll give this place 4 stars, and when I make my next visit back I'll update my review, hopefully to 5 -- since consistency is key ;). read more
