I knew not to expect much and that's what i got. I went in for highlights or color and a cut.. the bigest thing that i needed was a cut. I requested a phase II because i read reviews that it was worth the money. I ended up getting a phase I without my knowledge.. because when i requested the same person for my next apt and requested the phase ii person they said that he was actually a phase I but he apparently steps in for phase II if someone doesn't show up.. whatever.. so- we started before 1pm and he talked so much about how hair is his thing and can do color with his eyes closed, he rated his skills with highlights and color #1 then weaves then cuts .. so i tried to be optimistic. I was thankful that the highlights came out okay and that my hair was not damaged. I was not so happy that he ran out of time we started at 1pm ended almost at 5pm- he said i could come back for the cut ( i went in on Saturday with an appointment of course). Maybe he would of been quicker if he had not been talking to his friend next door the entire time. Even three people asked if he needed help since it was almost 4:30pm and he had not finished my right side of the highlights. His friend and my hairstylist both bragged about how great of a blow out he gave-- but i wouldn't know until next time.
So, i decided to go back since i did get some compliments. So i requested the same person to see if he actually would be done before they closed (the apt was at 9am) and to see if his blow out was sooo fantastic as he and his friend said it was. First i went back for a touch up- i wanted to keep my highlights but it was growing out already-so it should have been less time.. he did not do all of the highlights roots, he used some other color but put in some new highlights i guess to make it blend- he probably wasn't sure what color he had used before and tried to match it. He also gave this huge presentation in trying to sell me their products that which i wasn't interested in and told him that more than once- but still bugged me about it alot- when it was time to leave-. So now I have been looking for a new place to go to while having my roots REALLY grown out.. so that sucks. I ran into this lady that asked me what i had done in the bathroom and i told what i came in for a highlight touch up and she basically said i should complain- my thought what for.. if the teacher didn't ask what did you come in for and do you like the end product.. than why? the teacher did ask do you like it - i said yes- of course i liked the color already, but that was not why i was there.. i was there for a touch up... oh and the blow out- it was descent... though much better than the other students.. i went in another time to do the hair conditioning treatment because it was cheap- the girl they gave me seemed to be scared to touch me-- and well i could have done a better job myself- mind you i almost never do blowouts myself- But you just have to try it yourself. For me- i'm still looking for a hairstylist... so I guess i'll just keep looking - i'm two steps away from doing my own hair... because basically if Paul mitchel's is the cream of the crop students, no wonder there are so many horrible hair dressers out there.. that's why i wanted to try it as well because i've been getting the whatever results for over a $100-200..i have short but alot of hair. so this i guess you could try it -- i did... hopefully you're experience is better, but like i say it's better to have you're own experience -- after all they are students! we all were (i'm an adult) at one point and so i thought might as well...
