After my less than stellar experience with Union Hair Parlor, I decided to give THORPS the good old college try.
I would have given them 4/5 stars and will likely change the review after my next appointment, but after a small booking issue I was slightly annoyed. But the staff and my experience at THORPS rectified that and I will be going back for sure!
Best advice when it comes to booking, just call!
So I go in with this grow out, fade out mess that was left over from my experience at UHP. I explained to Jesc who is GREAT, AMAZING about my experience there and what was horrible about it and what I was looking to get out of my experience at THORPS.
She was great! I was offered beverages and asked if I need anything at all several times. She and I went over the root touch up and the hair cut that I was looking for. We settled on a mix of colors and she knew exactly what she was talking about because the color came out amazing. The cut was equally fantastic as well. My hair has movement and body and it was just as "short" as I wanted it to be. Even though we just did a root touch up, Jesc made sure to blend the color in with the existing and you cant even tell! It really does look amazing and I am so happy with the work that she did.
Let's address the hipster issues that have been brought up. Y'all know that the Willy Street area is trendy, hippy, and that whole vibe. I expected the salon to be a little stuffy but it really isn't. (I tend to HATE people who just want to toss their hipster ness in your face). Give Thorps a shot. After all the other clients and the reception aren't the ones cutting your hair!
