I just tried the Corbin salon and I received one of the worst haircuts of my life. I used to go to Edward Amato, which recently closed. My usual stylist went to Corbin but when I requested her I was told she no longer worked there (that should have been a warning sign). I made an appointment with Corbin but when I got there I was handed off to another stylist. I told her what I wanted, which was the same cut I currently had, only a little shorter. I said I wanted it kept 'shaggy' a little long in back (same length as the rest of the hair), and I wanted to keep the front longer because I wear it to the side. The rest I wanted trimmed to about a 3 inch length. Well, she cut it all very short and I told her not to cut the front anymore. She said ok, and then proceeded to buzz the back. I told her I didn't want the back buzzed and she said it would be better for me because 'the back grows faster' and this way ' I wouldn't have to get my hair cut as often.' Now it's buzzed so high and short I have stubble on the back of my neck. Then she returned to the front of my hair and cut another inch off. She also buzzed around the ears and buzzed my sideburns almost to the top of my ears. When I got home I noticed that one side angles up and the other side angles down, but they are already so high I really cant correct them. Aesthetically the salon itself is like any other, nothing 'New York' about it. In fact, it has a slightly dingy strip-mall look to it, with tacky, beat-up, furniture with that mid-90's trying-to-be-chic look. Corbin himself had that euro-trash look going, with an over-sized ""D&G"" beltbuckle to let people know he's 'fashionable.' On the upside, the haircut was cheap ($35), and when I told the receptionist about my experience she relayed it to the manager who refunded my money. However, I am stuck with this generic, poorly chopped, cookie-cutter haircut and the frustration that the salon would employ someone who lacks the ability to execute a basic haircut.
Pros: Relatively Cheap, Polite Manager
Cons: Bad Haircut, Poorly Trained Stylists, Dingy Atmosphere, Outdated Furniture, A VERY BAD EXPERIENCE
