I first went there three years back because I didn't have the time to go to my stylist. I went to Astor Place because what girl doesn't want to try getting her hair cut at a barbershop?
The first time around, it came horribly! I don't even remember who the woman was but she kept trying to convince me about how I needed treatment and color in my hair. I really didn't come in for a marketing pitch...
She charged me $40 and I left unhappy. Once I got home, I was too furious to let my experience go. I called in and told them that I hated my haircut and I wanted it recut. They said fine and I went in. They sent me to Regina and she recut my hair not expecting a tip at all. And the finished product? I was hooked.
I don't have easy hair and I let my hair grow out long and go to her about once or twice a year to cut it really short. Regina makes the transition flawless. I refuse to go to anyone else ever again.
She is EXTREMELY personable, professional, and just amazing. I refuse to give her any direction. Just leave your hair in her creative hands and you will not regret it.
How good is she? I always give her a 40% tip and I never feel that I gave enough.
