| - OK, Yelpers! Please read this warning!!!!
I'm 27, so it's safe to say I've had lots of haircuts in my life. This was, without ANY exaggeration, the worst. Worst. It was also in the running for the quickest -- and that's not a good thing here.
My stylist was Jody (or Jodi). She was nice, polite, chipper.....but clueless. Before asking me ANYTHING about how I wanted my hair done, she started chopping away. That really didn't bother me, though. I assumed she knew what she was doing. I'm used to having my hair washed or at least sprayed down so that it's easier for the stylist to cut. Not here.
Jody cut for a few minutes.....8 to be exact.....and then said she was done. 8. Literally. I don't have a buzz cut or a military do. Full head of hair here.
I asked if she'd clean up my sideburns and neckline. She said she'd already done so. Ummmmm.........
Sometimes, I spike my hair in front, which Jody and I discussed for the entire 8 minutes. I kept asking if she'd make sure the top was cut straight. Nope, it wasn't.
The hair on each side of my head was different lengths -- not on purposes. The back looked unkept. Front was uneven. Sideburns left untouched. Hair not washed. No spray, gel, or product afterward.
8 minutes, folks.
When I paid, I asked the cashier if there were other 'lead' stylists or a manager. He said only "new talent" was left on site. Sorry...but my stylist was "no talent." He said that Robert Cromeans had another salon downstairs in the Mandalay with more senior stylists. He said they'd be open for another hour. I paid, expressed my disappointment, then walked down to the other salon. Except....they were closed.
Worst haircut ever.
Even after expressing disappointment....nobody apologized.
I hope this doesn't come across as too dramatic. It was literally the worst haircut I've ever had.
