i went to astor place after reading the great reviews on rita. i have probably been to rita less than ten times. she is nice. respectful. professional and you can get an appointment quick.
i went cause of the great reviews and to get my lopsided hair fixed. she did a great job at fixing my hair so i returned. my hair is fine with a slight wave not quite a curl. i wear it straight most of the time. i was please that she was able to fix my hair. i returned for my next appointment and she used a razor to cut it(she did the first time but not as much). i haven't had a hair person use a razor on my hair in 20 years..but i thought what the heck. she used the razor to cut and shape my hair. the hairstyle was a bit dated but in some weird way it also kind worked ( though no one complimented me). BUT becasue she used a razor on my fine hair it left it frayed, thin and damaged looking when it was wet. i was unable to leave it to air dry. the next few times i went back i asked for no razor. this is when i discovered she had NO SKILL or flair with the scissors what so ever. i really felt she had a hard time. in return i got a head full of layers..and a very round shape but too round...again...leaning towards that dated look. i hate to admit it...but it's the sort of look that sean cassidy was rockin in the 70's. layers all over with the back of the hair long and hugging my neck. short by the ears. god.
well i will never go back. not with my fine hair. razors are for people with thick hair that needs to be thinned out. i am not mad. she's a nice lady. surrounded by an insane amount of hype that really is too good to be true!!!
