I made an appointment for a second level hair cut ($65) as I was really bored with my hair style. Upon going into the salon, the stylist asked me what I had in mind. I told her that I was unsure but I knew that I wanted to grow it out. I asked her if she could make some suggestions. She proceeded to do so and they sounded good. Their system is to give you a dry hair cut. They shampoo & condition your hair and then dry all your hair towards your face. The stylist then heavily sprays your hair with some Aveda product, dry irons the hair and cuts your hair. By the time she was done, my hair was a mess of styling product and blown towards my face. They do not style your hair, you are left to do that on your own just leave you with wadded gross hair blown towards your face. I had this curtain of hair on both sides of my face. I asked her about it and she told me that when I style my hair myself at home, it'll look better.
Upon going home to style my hair, the two curtains I had at side of my face did not suddenly form a style. I called the salon back and they gave an appointment for 3 days later. On my return appointment, I brought the same stylist a picture of exactly what I wanted. She proceeded to layer my hair into strings and give me a mullet. I could not believe my eyes. I specifically told her that I parted my hair on the side and I wanted longish bangs on one side and none on the other. The proceeded to cut short bangs on both sides of my head.
I have been crying my eyes out since the hair cut. I now have to live with a mullet until my hair grows out. I definitely will not return to this place and I don't recommend it. If you are paying $65 for a hair cut, go somewhere where they know how to 1) listen to what you want 2) are conservative 3) will style your hair after the cut so that you can see what you are getting.
