| rev:text | 	So after many months of growing out my hair (again), I decided to treat myself to a salon experience in getting a real haircut.  At one point I was going to Angles, however my hairdresser could not deliver in giving me the desired style.  In the end I went back to cutting my own hair since I had to fix it anyways if I got it done at Angles.  After a vicious search on yelp and other review websites, I decided to try out Redbloom due to its stellar reviews.  I'm definitely glad I did as I had a fantastic experience...and hairdo to go with that!
I scheduled an appointment over the phone where my hair stylist was Gordon.  Upon the day of the appointment, I stepped into a neo-vintage but hip salon where I was warmly greeted by the receptionist and promptly seated into Gordon's chair.  As I mentioned before, I had many stylists not be able to deliver in giving me that desired style I wanted, which is choppy, edgy, and messy haircut because they blend the layers which annoys to me to no end of the world.  For this very appointment, I armed myself with a little speech and pictures on my phone to show exactly what I wanted.  I probably put pressure on Gordon in being very specific, but all the while he listened patiently to my little speel of a rant and promised that he would give me that wanted haircut.  After appraising my hair, Gordon gave me feedback on what he was going to do while making sure I was game for the same thing.
During the duration of my appointment, Gordon made my first experience at Redbloom a great one.  Apart from making great conversation, Gordon was very knowledgeable where he would show me during the process of what he was doing, as well as giving me a few tips and tricks on how to style my hair.  At first I thought he did not achieve the look I wanted until I got home to wash and restyle it did I see the look he created.  My hair had layers that were (gasp!!!) edgy, choppy, messy, un-blended, and totally completely awesome...a look that I felt I could rock in.  Not to mention the fact that my haircut cost $30 dollars - I got a $10 discount because it was my first time there where I felt my money was definitely worth spent.
Because of such a great experience at Redbloom I definitely would not hesitate in returning and have Gordon cut my hair again.  Even though he is titled as a student stylist (which some people take as a red-flag for inexperience) I would definitely recommend him to anyone as he treats his customers well and is quite knowledgeable with hair.  Plus he charges less so you save money!  Overall, I give 5 stars to Redbloom and recommend it to other reviews for awesome customer service and having awesome hairstylists, reasonable pricing compared to other places....oh and not being a snooty downtown salon! |
