Recently I cut my long hair off to doante, and it resulted in another highly recommended Norfolk salon butchering my hair not once, but twice. Losing hope, the next morning I went to Salon Fringe and made an appt with Justin. They have yummy coffee, delightful staff (and an adorable, perfectly behaved doggy) and a very nice atmosphere. He told me exactly what needed to be done the second I walked into the salon. He even told me what the last person did wrong (to the tee!) & what he was going to do to fix it. I asked him how long he had been cutting hair, he said 17 years. When washing my hair I got a nice little scalp massage that pracically put me right back to sleep, the convo was impromptu & naturally easy, he picked up on my personality right away. As he was cutting he would consult me with changes or ideas on styling to suit my personality. He spent a good hour on my hair, layering and texturing into a shorter assymetrical bob (originally, I wanted a sholder length bob) He dried and styled it, then even more layering and texturing, and I still havent found an uneven hair, for the FIRST time ever after getting my hair cut. A good hair cut is all in texturing and detail, that I should be able to wash it & go, whereas before Salon Fringe, I was spending more time on my hair short that when it was 20 inches long. He never pushed me to buy any product when I asked what he was using, just gave me ideas on styling. Its 4 inches shorter than I had origionally planned in the first place, but the new cut he gave me I love so much. The man is magic! I might not even grow it back out like I had planned. I feel alive, sexy & liberated, like I am finally reflecting the real me! It was my third hair cut in a week, but I gladly would pay full price twice than go back to my previous salon for a free trim. I wish I found this place earlier!
