| - I was already nervous coming to this place, becuase it was not my typical Mexican $20 a hair cut place I'm used to stopping at. PLUS I'm horrible at getting regular cuttings.
First, the parking SUCKS! I'm sure the hair stylists take up what little parking there is on the street. Than there's 4 spaces in the back of the building. I snagged a spot next door in the rocks. The inside was mordern and new looking. I recognized some of the paintings on the wall that I've seen at First Fridays downtown. It was a nice small shop, pretty landscaping out front.
I walked in and there was no one at the front desk. I stood there for about 30 seconds, nothing. So I figured, I'm 20mins early, I'll just sit down. A male stylist walked right by me, looked at me, and dismissed me. LoL Yea, thanks. A couple more female stylists did the same thing. Wow! Did I make a turn into Snotsville, this is my hood, so WTH? Guess I my Ross outfit and heavier look was pretty evident - AWKWARD! Lmao. Finally a blonde smiled and asked if I had been helped. I shoke my head No and she quickly checked me in. SHE atleast was super nice. She walked over and told my stylist I was here, Leona.
Leona finished helping the guy stylist braid his clients hair and she greeted me warmly and escorted me to her chair. At first I thought they were going to just treat me to the cheap special and dry cut to get me out of there place faster, seriously uncomfortable first impression. But no, she asked what I wanted (long layers), verified the length by showing where she was going to start and than walked me to the back to wash my hair.
I have only got my hair washed once before and this was super nice. Leona shampooed and conditioned my hair with a little scalp massage thrown in. Very relaxing. Taking me back she did her thing and we chatted the entire time...I'm short, but she was shorter and we were laughing because she had to tip toe and reach high up to trim my long hair.
When she was done, she blow dried my hair so she can check the lengths again. She told me some great tips on how I can do my hair at home and get the same look that she was doing. A couple more trimming with my hair dry and viola! I had silky soft STRAIGHT hair! She did a great job and she was super nice.
$55.00 Women's Cut
$40.00 Women's Style
That was all I noticed on the huge chaulkboard menu next to the front desk. Would I go back? Definently. Those dismissed looks of only a few won't deter me, I know their poop smells too. LoL I enjoyed Leona's time, its hard to trust someone with my long hair and she was perfect.
