| - Great haircut experience! To be honest, I picked the place based on, yup, yelp reviews, but I still didn't know if I would like the pampering experience vs my normal: wait for 30min for a 5min haircuit routine. I made an appointment through their website (for the next day) and they responded back fairly quickly with confirmation. You can also try to fit yourself in if you call and see if there are openings, but I like the fact that there is an appointment system and that you don't spend a lot of down time in a waiting chair.
I came in about 8min ahead of my scheduled appointment and had to fill out some more paperwork since it was my first visit. I was offered a beverage, which I took full advantage of... the hostess/greeter.... (what do you call the person that greets you at the desk at a hair place?) ran and got me a beer, with a koozie.... nice touch! I went and sat in one of the four super comfortable leather chairs at the front of the salon.
Looking around from the waiting room, the place really caters to guys... tvs around, wood finishes, and just an overall relaxed vibe to the place. The hair products aren't really in-your-face here and I did notice that each station had a full-length mirror tilted at an angle so you can really have a great view of yourself. The other thing I noticed that the guys that were getting their haircuts seemed really relaxed.
Sara, my stylist, came over and introduced me and lead me to her station. I talked to her about how I normally cut my hair while she took everything in. My hair had gotten pretty long so I left it up to her and she did a great job. Super professional and we chatted a little bit. She was super quiet and did acknowledge that that's her personality, but I can tell she is really good at her craft. I just sat back and enjoyed my haircut, shampoo, neck/back massage, and beer. I left with a new look and super relaxed. Would I come back? The answer is YES - gotta treat yo'self every once in a while. Luckily I have fast growing hair. ;)
