| - Cool ambience, awesome music, beautiful people... all they need to do now is learn how to cut hair and they will really be on to something.
My experience:
I called on a Monday to make a Tuesday appointment. I asked for a "senior stylist" as they have on their menu. The other choices being the "creative stylist" or "new talent". There is a $15 difference here, for men's cuts. I was told I'd get Katie, who had been working there for three years.
Everyone was nice and friendly when I arrived and there is no doubt to the vibe of this place, there's an energy there. I asked for a trim on the sides and short on the top but enough to be able to play around and keep it messy. I was told my hair wasn't long enough to do that. I haven't had a haircut in nearly three months...!
We settled on trimming the sides and just cleaning up the top. Using scissors only (as I requested) she managed to cut my hair on the side to almost the skin... on one side. The other side was trimmed actually not too bad save for the raised patches here and there. She barely touched the top so the end result was a very 90's looking hairstyle. When she showed me the back, my hairline at the bottom looked totally crooked so I figured it must be me seeing it wrong. She blow dried it and styled it a bit and in the lights and mirrors there, it looked okay.
When I got home and showered, upon further investigation, there was no fade from the side of my head to the top, just clumps and indeed the bottom line at the back was on an angle. I basically had a crooked bad bowl cut.
The part that really gets me is that this woman is 22 years old. How does that qualify her to be a senior stylist? I guess the "new talent" come in to see their clients during recess!
They really have a lot of nerve charging the money they do for such inexperienced stylists who clearly have no idea what they are doing. I guess she earns that for dressing up like Betti Page?
I ended up getting my hair fixed elsewhere for half the price, I didn't trust them enough to ever touch my ungrateful head ever again.
