late, late, late,...and inattentive
went there 3 times; they're always running late and in chaos. had one stylist who knew what she was doing, was assigned to another who didn't have a clue nor was she interested. but i saw she was much more attentive to her male clients. wanted to give them a chance, but after the 3rd, it's not worth the time and energy.
I love their prices. They have an variety of lotion and shampoo designed specifically for a type of hair. They also have cheap hair accessories. Whenever my clips break at work, I can just come down here and pay a few dollars for a clip and go back to work. They carrying a lot of the salon brand merchandise, this place is pretty reasonably price. The service is nice and friendly. I like it...
I have gotten my hair cut here a few times in the past and they always do a great job on my haircut. It is a small salon/barber shop. Only 2 stylist so it's a good idea to call for an appointment. This is also a beauty supply store.
I also shop here when I am in need of higher end salon items, like Biolage, Pureology, or even Redken products. They are always going on sale and you can get great deals here. They also now sell a lot of great skin care products, such as Dermalogica, which can be difficult to find elsewhere. Get their frequent buyer card for even better deals.
I tried to get a haircut but it took some effort. When I called, the hair stylist was pretty booked and the scheduler had no interest and made no effort to offer me alternate dates or times. That should have been my first clue. I made an appointment several weeks out, which at least gave me the confidence that the stylist was in demand. The stylist, well, what can you say a bad haircut is...
I got highlights in this saloon. Even though the price I paid was not low, my highlights are terrible. Also, the quality of service was very dissapointing. I could have done a better job if I did the highlights myself at home.
