| - This salon would not normally be in my budget, but sometimes you just have to splurge a little.
It was my first time in the Hard Rock, but the salon was easy to find, right near the entrance to the parking garage. It has a beautiful entrance and is about what you would expect in decor for a top salon.
I was the first appointment of the morning and was sent up the salon elevator with Brannon (though I wasn't sure it was him until I got there).
I had decided to be a little daring and let him cut my hair however he wanted. He asked me questions about how I styled it and spent a bit of time playing with my hair, having me stand up, sit down and such before he started. The only other person in the salon at the time was his assistant. After the initial consultation, I felt a little invisible. He and his assistant were busy discussing sports and talking about a restaurant one had eaten at the night before. It made me feel like I was eavesdropping a little. While his assistant was styling my hair, a new customer came in and Brannon proceeded to fuss all over her. What, does my breath smell? Or can you tell I am not made of money?
Whatever.
The haircut itself was fantastic. Truly the type of haircut that LOOKS expensive. It was cut so that it just sort of fell into a nice style without me having to work at it, which is a good thing as I can be a little style-challenged at times. He suggested that I play with it for a few weeks, then once I returned, I could give him feedback and he would make adjustments or try something more daring if I liked. At first, I had every intention of returning to see what else he would come up with. But I haven't gone back. The haircut was so good that even as it grew out a little, it has still looked great.
When I left the salon, I was directed downstairs to the receptionist. She provided me with the type of bill that requires me to fill in the total, presumably after filling in the tip line. This threw me off a bit. I have always known salon owners to charge more, but in return, not accept tips. In fact my cut was $100 ($10 more for Brannon over the other stylists). Of course, I don't want to be cheap if the policy has changed, so I did leave him a nice tip.
Though I would recommend this salon for a very good cut, I am tempted to try something new next time around to see if I can find a place that gives a great cut AND where I feel more comfortable. There seems to be enough competition here that I am optimistic, however he does deserve the 4 stars for quality work.
