I went here for a haircut throught their hair model program. I figured I would be in good hands as this is one of the most expensive salons in the city...unfortunately I had a horrible experience.
The trainee I got decided she wanted to do a classic bob on me, even though I explicitly told her I wanted layers and only a couple inches cut off. She ignored me completely and went ahead with the bob. She cut off at least 5 inches of hair so my hair was shorter than chin length, no layers whatsover, and horribly thick and heavy at the bottom. Too short bangs topped off the disaster. Worse was that I was in the salon for SIX hours. She messed up and had a stylist come over and help her out at the end, and the woman was quite rough with my hair and kept saying over and over how the trainee shouldn't have picked a girl with asian hair. okay...
So 6 hours and $15 down the drain and I was left with a cut that totally did not fit my face and was the opposite of what I wanted. Thanks a lot Di Pietro. They obviously don't care a bit about their clients when it comes to the hair modelling program. I went to Oxenrose the next day and paid another $50 just to look decent again.
The stylists, reception, and manager of the training program all seemed very full of themselves.
