| - I have curly hair, short (pixie) cut, and I wear it naturally curly.
The short of it: I had a really bad haircut with Jenny.
I'm writing this review months after the fact because my hair is still growing out the "bad cut". I was genuinely surprised at how poor the quality was, so I feel I need to make a note of it for other curly girls out there.
I just moved to the city and needed a new stylist. I came here because they had great pictures of their work and raving reviews, including one about short curly hair (a guy's). So I figured I'd give it a shot and support a small business.
Having curly hair, if you cut a bit, it'll look like you cut a LOT. So, usually stylists (from my experience) take it easy with how much they cut. The good ones also pay attention to the curl pattern and cut accordingly. So, I was surprised at how quickly she chopped away at it.
It was way too short. Which is fine, hair grows. However, it felt heavy and blocky because she just cut it straight. She didn't add layers either. I understand curly hair is difficult, but I imagined layering was a normal thing - whether you have curly hair or not - so I'm surprised I had to ask for it. So, I asked for a bit of layering. It seemed to me she was struggling to make that happen well, so I just let it go.
I way overpaid. For this quality, I'd expect to pay a fraction of the price.
I give two stars because the salon was cute and Jenny was friendly. I also take some blame for this as I could have been more diligent about my research because I know curly hair - especially short - is tricky.
It seems clear that this is a great place to go for color or blow-outs - the pictures and reviews say it all! I just can't recommend it for cuts, and especially not for anyone who has curly hair.
