I had called and asked the receptionist for a recommendation of a colorist for highlights and someone to trim my hair. She recommended Joyce for my highlights. She said that since it was my first time at the salon, I should have Adriana cut my hair because it's an ""amazing experience."" Then, I arrived and they told me Joyce was too busy, so they gave me Gina. That was the first indication that I should have left.\r

My highlights were a streaky mess. On some pieces of my hair, there was an inch or more of a brown low light at the root followed by bright blonde on the rest of the pieces. The right side of my head is mostly brown while the left side of my head is mostly blonde. The pieces of hair around my ears weren't even highlighted - I can't even begin to tell you what a horrible job Gina did.\r

Next came my ""amazing"" experience with Adriana. I told her that I was in a wedding in September and I wanted to keep my hair long so I could curl it for the wedding. I told her I wanted just a trim. She told me my hair was very dry and I needed to cut of more than an inch. I said, ""ok,"" but not much more. I kid you not - her ""trim"" was a huge cut of at least 3 1/2-4 inches. I couldn't believe it. My hair was up to my shoulders! I also have very thick, wavy hair and I HAVE to have long layers in the back otherwise my hair puffs out and looks to heavy. I stressed this to her. Well, she cut all of the layers out of the back so it was blunt and she just layered the front. I literally looked like I had a helmet on my head - it was awful. She blew out my hair and said, ""oh, I don't know where my flat iron is. I guess you are done,"" and sent me on my way. I was charged $75 for my helmet haircut and was furious. $75!?!?\r

My hair looked SO bad that I wore it in a pony tail every day until I got it fixed at another salon 4 days later. I also spoke with a colorist at the salon (for when I go back to get my color fixed) and he said there was a ton of color bleeding in the back of my head and the highlight were very uneven. THANKS, Spa Adriana!!!\r
