I recently moved here from DC, and since the gas prices are now so high, I finally decided to give up my salon in Georgetown and find one closer to my new home. What a mistake!! I went on Friday evening, and the hairstylists were much more interested in doing each others' hair and glowering at the customers than they were at being welcoming or helpful. I usually could care less if I get a bad cut, since I know it is only hair and it will grow out, but the stylist's utter lack of regard for my simple request was just so unbelievable that I had to write about it. I told my stylist THREE TIMES that I wanted my hair all one length with no layers. What did I come out with??? An old lady hair cut that is all layered! I asked her to cut 4 inches of hair, and indicated to her where I wanted her to cut, and she cut off at least 8 inches while in the process of layering. When I asked her at the end why she gave me layers when I expressly asked her not to, she said ""because, otherwise, your hair will flip up at the ends."" Excuse Me??? What kind of BS explanation is that? I have beautiful thick straight hair, and the only time it ""flips"" or is wavy is when there are layers. I feel so embarrassed, wore a hat all weekend, and am trying to figure out how to cover my hair at work for the next 6 months while it grows out. I hope she never gets the pink highlighter our of her hair that her colleague was dying her hair with when I first arrived. Even then she will only be half as humiliated as I am right now. Oh, and she dyed my hair, and it looks horrible. Not even close to the correct shade. I look like a clown. Thanks, Bubbles!! I would put her name in here, but I can' t remember what it was. I think I blocked it out. The horror!!!
Pros: Open late into the evening.
Cons: That they are in business at all. Please close and do us all a favor.
