when you go in there are many women working there walking around everywhere, they all dress in black but in whatever style they want. it's a very airy, open environment. you can smell the Aveda products right away, very refreshing. you might feel a little intimidated since there are so many female workers there but also because they of course all have great hairstyles and so their appearance is more "upscale."
pretty much don't walk in dressed like a slob.
this place was recommended by my mom, who absolutely loved a hairstylist named Brandy. apparently she just always did a great job of cutting my mom's hair. so my mom set up an appointment for me and i went. i think i got lucky because Brandy seemed like the friendliest, most talkative and just really positive person in there. not everyone was like that in there, though i don't blame them. she really did do a great job cutting my hair too, but i have short hair and didn't really care what it looked like and i wasn't there to get it bleached or colored.
so....i think it really just all depends on who your stylist is and whether or not you're going in there with a specific goal in mind. i went in pretty carefree and open-minded. i'm sure if i had gone in with a very detailed, picky picture of what i wanted done with my hair, it may have been a different story. the simple basic cut was $36. it's also good to tip.
overall, i had a good experience but it all depends on the stylist, the day, and your mission.
Pros: haircut
Cons: you feel very self-conscious
