| - I bought a living social deal a little while back and decided I should make an afternoon of it and get a hair cut as well. I got there and the place was EMPTY. The stylist and I were the only one's in the salon. I have curly hair, and I get nervous because there seems to be lacking education in dealing with curls. The stylist insisted on washing my hair and cutting it wet, which should have been a larger red flag than it was. During the cut the stylist actually said "It's not so much the cut with curls, as it is the product you use.". I then sat in shock as a stylist tried to curl my curly hair by using handfuls of Bumble and Bumble curl creme, finger curling and pinning it. During this time the stylist told me how the owner was B&B curl certified (but he couldn't as much as read the instructions on the bottle?). He sat me under the dryer for the mess on my skull to harden.
You should have seen this stylist's horrified face when he realized the mess he made, and could not "soften" it. I had enough and asked him to wash my hair, then showed him how to style curls by applying a quarter size amount of product, shaking the curls causing them to clump, scrunch and blot with a towel. They didn't have a diffuser, so I made due when drying my own hair. You would have thought he just watched me turn myself into a rabbit, he was so shocked it was that easy. This is when I got really scared. I know not everyone can be an all-star at curls but shouldn't you know the basics if you do hair for a living? Or how to use the products that your salon features? Putting in the minimum of asking the client how they style their hair and reading the bottle would have showed some promise.
I would have left after this, but I still had a wax and a pedicure to endure.
The wax was the longest, most painful I have ever had. The aesthetician only used hard wax, and I was lucky enough to listen to her complain about another client's yelp review (which oddly enough is no longer on the site). Awesome.
The pedicure was the highlight of the day. The tech was thorough, clean and very sweet. My pedi lasted a good 2 weeks without any chipping.
Overall I was disappointed because I was looking for a relaxing day to spruce myself up, and instead got to pay to teach someone how to do their trade (That's right folks, I got to pay full price to play teacher to their rookie), and be tortured with close to an hour long wax (my regular waxer does the job in about 25 minutes and I don't have to clean up when I get home).
Needless to say, I won't be back.
