I went to the Oleg Kaz Salon because of its high rating on CitySearch. While I enjoyed the atmosphere and reception, I can't say the same about my haircut and stylist. For starters, my stylist spoke broken, incomprehensible english and could not understand a thing I said. I asked to have the back of my hair shortened 1-2 inches and the rest cleaned up. She proceeded to shorten the sides and not touch the back - she insisted that it shouldn't be any shorter after I asked her to go shorter 3 times (which totaled less than a half inch). The stylist cut my hair in about 10 minutes, constantly telling her coworkers how I was her last cut of the day and she couldn't wait to get off. Two days later, not one person has noticed that I got a haircut - not even my girlfriend. She did ask why the left side of my hair is suddenly shorter than my right. There was no cleanup done - there are hairs of all different lengths throughout. She also did a terrible job cutting my sideburns, which are also not even. Basically, she messed up my hair while hardly cutting it - a different kind of bad haircut. I should add that I'm a male with long hair (shoulder length). $35 down the drain; I will need another cut in a week.
Pros: Atmosphere, Reception
Cons: The Haircut!
