Ok, I am here in PA visiting with family for a few months about to move to VA so I can welcome home my b/f of 6 months that is currently in Iraq. I haven't seen him in 3 years so I wanted to look good, just be blown away! Getting the hair done was one of the top things on my list but I didn't want just anyone to touch my hair. Since I'm not from the area I searched the internet and came across European Flair as being the #1 hair salon in the Pitt area. Cool, awesome, so many good reviews, I'll check it out. I schedule an appointment for my hair to get permed, they ask what kind of hair, I say long, completely straight and hard to curl. They say ""OK, see you then"". I drive almost 2 hours to get to this place, one way. I wait a little past my scheduled appt., no biggie. Walk me into the hair salon section and say ""the only type of perm you can get is a spiral"", after explaining a little why that was my ONLY choice she asked what I had in mind, so coming prepared I pull out pictures of ladies with curly hair from a magazine and say something like this and nothing like that. She looks at me and says ""You KNOW thats not permed, right?"" I was shocked she thought I was that ignorant to ask that question but I replied ""yea I do know that I was just showing you the look I was going for"" I had in mind a body wave of sorts so I could actually use a curling iron and hopefully the curls would stay. Then she continued on to say ""I know this girl in California that does famous peoples hair and to get hair like that they spend like 5 hours on it"", well thank you for that tid bit of information that I already knew, atleast now I can say it's 5 as opposed to 4 or 6! Then I don't know how many times she told me that ""it would just be a waste of your money"". So since the perm seemed to be out of question I asked about a hair color , highlights and trim/cut. I'm sorry I'm running out of room so this is to be continue...it gets better...
Pros: Don't know of any...their work might actually be pretty good
Cons: Worst customer interaction I have EVER dealt with!
