I was very disappointed with my experience at Primp and Blow at the Waterfront. My friends and I went here together to get our hair done for our work party. The problems started when I sat around waiting for my appointment to start as my stylist socialized and styled her own hair before deciding to help me. When she washed my hair the hot water was out in the salon so it was cold.
The biggest issue was when she styled my hair. I have curly and very thick hair. I told her i wanted it straight, pretty basic. She then asked if I wanted any curl to the ends instead of it just being straight. I said that if she thought that would be better I was open to it. When she finished the initial blow out my ends were more than a little curled and everything was going in different directions. My left side flipped under while the right flipped out. I told her I wasn't crazy about it and she immediately got defensive asking what i wanted, which I thought I had clearly explain when I arrived. I told her that I didn't want everything going in different directions, so she tried to fix it. It looked exactly the same after the second attempt. When I said that I still wasn't a fan she told me that as a professional I needed to take her opinion on what looked good. Her patronizing attitude was more than I could handle so I told her it was fine so that I could just get out of there and get on with my day.
She then proceeded to add additional product to my hair which topped everything off by making my hair greasy, something that is very difficult to do. In the end I went home, washed my hair out and did a better job myself. I wouldn't suggest wasting money if you are capable of a basic blow dry at home. Save yourself the money, trip and attitude.
