(CitySearch thinks the term for the hair that lies across your forehead is a bad word so we'll call it b*ngs)
My requests were simple and straightforward. I simply wanted a wash, cut, and blow-dry. The cut: long side-swept b*ngs and the rest trimmed to just pass my shoulders. I went to this place strictly based off the reviews on Citysearch - big mistake! My experience was horrible. The mother cut my hair and we discussed everything beforehand. I had a collage of pictures and she seemed to understand what I wanted. We even discussed what I did NOT want for sure. Wouldn't you know it - my hair ended up exactly how I DIDN'T want it. She cut the majority of my hair too short (above the shoulders when I had specifically said I wanted it PAST my shoulders). She didn't cut it straight either - I had long pieces hanging down past the rest and they made a feeble attempt to fix this as I walked out of the door. The WORST part is the b*ngs - she had asked, "So do you want an obvious b*ng or b*ngs that blend with the rest of your hair?" I told her I did NOT like obvious b*ngs and wanted the blended, side-swept, long b*ngs. Guess what I ended up with -- thick b*ngs cut straight across my forehead! They're terrible! I've had to pin them back every day. You can't fix something that's TOO short. To make it even worse, she burned my forehead TWICE with the curling iron. TWICE. Not tiny, oopsy marks; I ended up with large, brown, burnt-flesh splotches on 1/2 of my forehead. Good thing I have these nasty b*ngs to cover up the burn marks if I so chose! Her demeanor kind of sucked too - she'd ask questions to seem sociable but would then eavesdrop on the other conversation in the room without listening to my response. I will NEVER recommend this place to anyone; in fact, I'm doing my best to warn everybody so they don't have to go through what I went through (something I'm still suffering from while I wait for my hair to grow back so somebody skilled can cut it.)
Pros: Great parking...since there was only 1 other customer...I wonder why...
Cons: I forgot to mention - they didn't even wash my hair because they were in a hurry to close.
