| - I struggled between a 3 and 4 star for this review. If I had my choice, it would be more like a 3.5, but let's round up today, shall we?
After a disaster of a trim yesterday at a cheap cut place, I called Backstage Beauty Salon this morning when they opened, asking if they could fit me in for a trim to even out my jacked up hemline. The lady, Heather, on the phone was SO nice and sweet and let me know that someone would contact me in an hour to confirm. Sweet! I was so relieved that my initial contact was with someone friendly. You know how sometimes you call a business and you get a bitchy receptionist? Yeah, no one needs that shit. I did not get that here.
Jessica called me back just around an hour later and asked me what I needed, so I explained my dilemma to her. She was very nice as well and she said she would see me at my appointment time(I made it for my lunch hour so I could zip on over and get my hair fixed).
When I arrived, the ladies at the front were attentive and they went to get Jessica right away. The whole hand shaking, nice to meet ya dance took place and we were off to her little room. I like that this place has private rooms. It feels a lot more comfortable for chatting and I don`t know about y'all, but I feel some kind of ugly in those haircut capes and I don`t want people looking at me. *look away!*. Just sayin'. So, Jessica and I talked for a hot minute and I told her my sad haircut story and said I just needed even ends and she was cool with that.
She washed my hair with some fancy salon shampoo and conditioner, which admittedly smelled amazing, but later on when I was home made my scalp itchy(I`m glad I did not go crazy and buy a bunch of stuff before giving it some time). Anyway, she massaged my scalp and I was totally ready to take a nap. Then that part was over and we went back to her room so she could fix my Frankenstein-esque hair. She sectioned my hair and began cutting. She really took her time to make sure it was all even, or so I thought(more on that towards the end). Then she put some stuff on my hair that smelled good but also made me cringe. I`m admittedly one of those people who hates all the stuff they put in my hair at a haircut place. I don`t know why. I`m weird. So, anyway, she asked if I just wanted it straight or round brushed, and I asked for round brushed. Jessica took her time drying section by section and I felt slightly bad because I have a lot of hair and it takes a lot of time, but also I am paying for a service, so ya know?
My hair looked and smelled and felt AH-mazing after Jessica was done with it. I checked the back and it had some nice bouncy fluff from the blow drying with the round brush. Much better! I paid for my cut(she charges $45)AND I tipped because I`m vowing not to go cheap with my haircuts anymore and I was out. She walked me to the door and wished me a good day after giving me her card.
So, this is where I'll explain why this experience only gets 3.5 stars from me. After I got off work and worked out, I needed a shower(obviously. I hope people shower after working out), and I decided to wash my hair. I`m telling you, I hate product in my hair. The stuff she massaged my scalp with was making me itch, like I mentioned earlier. NOT her fault, my scalp just did not like it, so I was like "bye" and I washed my hair with some non salon approved shampoo and conditioner. So, wash wash wash. I like to also see how my hair air dries after a cut, to see how it "lays" if that makes sense. Well, I noticed pretty immediately a long piece that was missed and it was noticeable. I was like "Really, Satan? You're going to play me like this?" After some minor irate sighs, I got out my little pair of hair cutting shears that I keep for emergencies, and I shortened that part, but I was like "damn it all".
Finding a stylist since I moved to Las Vegas has been difficult, y'all. I am not playing. It's hard to find decent pricing, someone who cuts and colors well, and a nice atmosphere. I am giving up for a while and just letting my hair go until I`m at the breaking point, because these last two days have traumatized me.
I wasn't even mad about the little piece that was missed, but I was just done with the hair situation already. Jessica is very cool, nice, and is good at what she does. I would actually totally go back to her, but she did miss that little piece. I kept thinking it was me, looking at my hair from all angles, hoping I was just being nutty, but nope, that damn little piece of hair WAS longer than the rest.
What can you do? It's hair. It grows, you cut it, it grows, you cut it, and then you give up and eat a doughnut.
