Hi. I went to Neil's hoping to get a decent hairstyle, and was very dissatisfied. I took about 8 different pictures of what type of style i wanted. I also, to my despair, i mentioned i might be willing to try bangs. He tossed aside the pictures i brought. He said he could do it and make it look wonderful, He knew some tricks that would work great. I told him as long as it did not include a ""magic marker"". \r

Ok, im a woman slightly past my mid forties and yes, I have fine hair with some hair loss. I went and got my hair washed, sat back down and he cut my hair. Never once did i notice him trim my split ends, even anything out or give me much of a style. He preceded to volatize my hair, and use a hot roller on my hair. He also gave me tips on how to do this at home. During which time he asked me if i would wear a wig ? I told him definitively no. The other stylist there agreed with me in saying, she would want to wear her own hair too. I should have jumped out of his chair right then. Even if i do wear wigs, Im in the chair trying to getting a hair style/cut ? Is he capable of styling some ones hair or wanting to style wigs ? \r

He then took me the front and wanted to apply makeup to my head for cover up. When i told him earlier no magic marker. Yes, i do know and understand they make products for just such a thing. I also know my hair can be styled in a way to help hide my flaws. Any decent stylist should be able to handle such a task. I would not allow him to apply face make up to my head. \r

He asked me if i liked the style. I asked him if he was done. He led me back to his chair. Brushed my hair twice to the side, realizing he only had a bang to work with. Took off my apron and showed me to the front to pay. \r
\r
I called him the next day and told him i was very dissatisfied with his service. Yes, i am upset and very displeased. He offered to to add some layers ? Why would he ask to add layers after he styled my hair ? Because my hair has no style. I told him i did not feel comfortable sitting in his chair. He responded by telling me good bye and hung up. \r

My over all experience. In the 30 minutes i spent in his shop, getting a wash and style. For the same 30 minutes hair style/cut experience, go to Hair Cuttery. If this is how he deals with unsatisfied customers. My best advice is not to be a customer of his at all. \r
