I live really close to the salon, so I thought that I would give it a try. I don't mind spending money on a haircut...I have long hair and only get it cut a few times a year. I got an appointment with the owner, Rachael. I have curly hair and she was recommended for curly hair. Since I had never gone to see her before, I assumed that she would want to see what my hair looks like dry. She didn't see me until after I had been washed and didn't really have much of a consultation with me. The cut seemed fine, I guess, but then her next client arrived before she finished. She seemed surprised that I wanted a blowdry...apparently she doesn't really do that. What? So she gave me over to an assistant who had never given a blowdry before. After all the product that was sprayed into my hair, 2 spritzes per tiny section and the not very good blowdry, Rachael used a razor! I have never had a razor used on my hair...a bad idea for curls. So for $80, I got an average haircut and a bad, greasy blowdry. She is the owner so at least I didn't have to tip.
