| - This review is for a haircut I got two days ago. I will update in two weeks when it has a chance to "settle down". I call this period "judgement day", as I believe a haircut's quality can only truly be judged after I've washed it and styled it myself several times. A lot of mistakes of a haircut can be hidden while styling after the initial cut. Sadly I've learned that the hard way.
I called the day of and asked for an appointment. They scheduled me for a 4pm appointment, which worked out perfectly
Amber was my stylist, and she was super nice and bubbly to have. I simply needed a trim and to update my medium length layers - nothing crazy. The shampoo service was fantastic, and there was even a little neck massage - love it!
The actual cut wasn't very long (since it was just an "update" type of trim), which I appreciated since I had to get going. Amber trimmed the ends while they were wet, then blow dried/straight ironed and did all the texturizing while it was dry. She asked if I wanted to throw some curls in my hair since I was going out later, which I thought was AWESOME.
At the end, she asked me what I thought. I asked for more layering, and she suggested that although it'd be cool, we definitely didn't want to do too much. I appreciate when a stylist is willing to reel me in and tell me what I THINK I want probably isn't recommended.
The total cut was $45, and I tipped $10. A little steep for a trim, but I think it'll be worth it if the 2 week "judgement day" comes around and it looks great.
