I understand that the stylists rent chairs here, so I'm sure there are some great colorists, but I just returned home from an appointment and have been in tears for about 30 minutes now. My hair is medium-dark brown. I asked for an almost ombre look (like drew barrymore or giuliana rancic's hair) with dark on the top fading down to blonde at the tips. I look like i walked into a Great Clips at closing time and asked for the pepperoni $5.95 special. my hair is the same brown as before all over, except for STREAKS of "blonde" and orange all the top of my head where i part my hair. I showed my stylist 6 pictures of exactly what I wanted, and she threw around some jargon then started right away with the dying.
my hair is my thing. my THING. I'm absolutely livid. Also, it was the most I've ever spent on a hair appointment in my life at $135. It was a birthday present to myself that I have been saving for. I'm completely disgusted and couldn't feel worse about it.
If you choose to check this place out - PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make sure you're getting a styling/colorist who knows their stuff. I'm sure there are some great ones there...don't be afraid to demand one.
