I am a college-age male with a very astute taste of what looks good, and I went to Urban Gypsy for the first time. Due to its artsy location in Broad Ripple, I went in with high hopes, and left extremely disappointed to the point of almost being angry. I had spent my entire first semester growing out my hair from a very short hair cut, and the length was finally right. I showed a picture to the stylist of how I had gotten it cut back home (in rural southern Indiana) just before Thanksgiving. I wanted to return to that length because lately it had gotten unruly. After several sizable chunks of hair fell to the floor, I knew something was wrong. By the end of my haircut, I had lost all of the length I had spent all of the semester growing, and the top remained untouched by her scissors. The damage had far surpassed what could be salvaged, so I left with bitter taste in my mouth. Being from southern Indiana, I had never spent so much on a haircut. Not only did I feel it was overpriced, I also believe it was the worst haircut I've ever received in my life. I have been cutting my own hair to fix the new surprise damages that seem to pop up daily. It is looking better, but the French poodle 'do I received at Urban Gypsy is still noticeable. Needless to say I will not be going back, and I am starting the process of growing my hair out...yet again. I warn you if you are male--stay away!!
