I have never been so disappointed with a haircut and color in my life! I just moved from LA so I needed to find a good salon. I went to this salon after reading the reviews on here, they must have gone to a different salon, or the other stylists are so much better then the one I had.
My appointment was with David for highlights and a cut. I'm 26 and have started to go grey just a little bit in one spot on my head. I told him that I get highlights to mask the grey in that one area. He told me that I need to color my whole head. I told him I did not want to, that I've been doing my hair this way for years, I don't have a lot of grey, just a little and it can be hidden with highlights, I just need a few extra highlights in the spot that I am grey. It's like he totally avoided my grey patch, because, it's still grey!
The cut, this was the ultimate disaster. I told him I wanted a trim, same look, just clean it up a little bit. My hair is to the middle of my back, it's not like anyone can screw this up that bad, well, I'm wrong with that assumption. I had bangs a little while back and have been growing them out, they were to my chin and then I had a little face frame to blend the bangs into the length of my hair. David picks up my bangs and says, so you want your first layer to start here? I said not around my whole head, those are just bangs that I'm growing out, they need to be blended in my hair, but my layers don't start until much lower. Guess what, now they don't, now I have a chunky layer that is very visible (it's like a step in my hair) that starts at my chin.
When he was doing my face frame, he had my hair parted in the middle. I stopped him and told him that I don't part my hair in the middle, I part my hair on the side. He said, that's okay, I'm just going to cut it in the middle so then you can wear your hair on whatever side you want. I said no, it doesn't work like that I don't want to part my hair on whatever side I want, I want to part my hair like this and I want my haircut to be cut for me wearing my hair with a side part. He gave me the comb to part my hair, I did, then he brushed all my hair forward and cut it in the middle anyway.
Now I have never complained about a haircut and I know a lot of people that complain afterwards but never say anything while they see their hair being massacred. I DID! I stopped him twice and he still continued to do what he wanted. And it's not like it was cheap either, it cost me $200!!!
I will NEVER go back to this salon and would NEVER recommend it to anyone else.
