There's a long list of things in life I dislike. Paying 230 for highlights and a cut that look, well, bad is on it. I saw Michael. He was nice enough and based on our consultation I was confident he would do a great job. I went over in very specific detail what I wanted and what I didn't want. I pointed out some pictures in magazines and a woman in the salon that had the look I was going for; medium ash blonde, natural looking highlights. The highlights he gave were not even close to the color I originally wanted, but I decided not to make a big stink about it and give it a few days to see if it settled into something I liked since the change was rather dramatic. Three days later I hated it even more. My highlights were uneven and bright unnatural yellow. The positioning was good, so I'll give him credit where it's due, but the color was WAY off. Also, the cut he gave me was average at best and the blowout poor. I hate to say it, but I have never been to a man who can really do hair (they all seem to think they're amazing at it, though...). Anyway, I'm sure I could have returned and had the color corrected, but I probably did a better job at home with my $7.00 box of color. I wouldn't give him one star; I'm picky and he positions the highlights very nicely...but he's just not a 5 star stylist in my book.
