I walked in and explained that I didn't really know what I wanted (just not what I had going on!) but here was my criteria: long layers, side bangs, has to be able to go back in a ponytail/updo, has to look professional, but not old. I felt like the stylist really listened, and she checked in with me several times during the process. I ended up with a very cute cut, which met all my criteria and exceeded my expectations. When it was done, she asked if there was anything else she could do to make it better, but I certainly couldn't think of anything.
The best part? The layers are so well done that I hardly have to do anything to style it after I wash it.
I will most definitely go back. The price is very reasonable, especially for the level of attention they gave me. In fact, it was such a pleasant experience, I'm looking forward to it (which is more than I can say for any other haircut experience I've had!).
