Josephine's Salon has a wonderful atmosphere, and the front-desk staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. Unfortunately, this is not the only reason why I go to hair salons.
My experience with Michelle was a nightmare. I had long, thick hair and wanted more style. We agreed that adding texture would be the best idea. She spent a lot of time chatting about herself rather than focusing on the haircut at hand: she continued razoring away at my hair until it was time for styling.
She round brushed my hair and then curled my hair forward with a flat-iron. I didn't really understand why she did this, since I didn't ask for it - but I figured she was just trying to be nice/add some little extra touches.
I always re-style my hair once I get home from any hair appointment. After washing and blowdrying my hair I wondered where my hair went. I was left with a modern day MULLET. ALL of the hair in front of my ear was chin length while ALL of the hair behind my ear was down my back. I was absolutely mortified but tried to keep a positive attitude about it. I tried curling my hair forward like Michelle did in an attempt to camouflage the damage done (as she did)...but it was too obvious.
While I realize that Josephine's would have probably been more than happy to re-do my hair, the damage had already been done. There is really no way to redeem a haircut like that. I truly do not trust Michelle as a stylist, despite all of the training credentials on the Josephine's website. She may have gone to the classes, but maybe she didn't pay attention.
Fortunately, a lovely stylist at a salon in Katy was more than happy to transform my mullet into a stacked bob. I am happy with my hair now, but I will never return to Michelle for my haircuts!
