I went to City Hair on Capitol Hill when someone I know (who always looks great) recommended this hair salon. In the course of several months I had three haircuts from three different stylists and I was so disappointed – it was like each haircut was worse than the last one. I have gone to a number of hair salons in Seattle and stylists have told me that my hair is easy to cut – I wear it short so cutting it should not be a big deal. I have to say my experience at City Hair was disappointing to say the least. The stylists are friendly and it is not like they aren’t trying to give you a good cut – but what a waste of money! And that reminds me of two other things. The first time I called to make an appointment I asked how much they charged. I was quoted one price on the phone, but after receiving a mediocre trim of my short hair, they charged me a higher price then what I had been quoted. The second time, the stylist rang up my haircut himself. I gave him a large bill and after he made change he held the money in his hand and asked me if he could keep it as a tip! The cut was so poor, so not what I wanted, that I wasn’t planning on tipping him, but I was too embarrassed to ask for my change, so I just said, “sure, keep it.”
