| - I'm not so much of a salon guy but I took a chance after seeing this school on Facebook. The prices looked affordable and I'm all about helping someone learn their trade. Being a canvas for an artist to work on really pulled me into this shop and it was right down the street so I decided to make an appointment. Boy am I glad I did.
As soon as I entered, the receptionist was attentive and inviting and made sure I that I was taken care of. This put me at ease of being in a salon and kept my mind off the fact that I was at a salon in comparison to a Great Clips (gasp! Yeah, I know, I usually get my hair cut at Great Clips, I really need to treat myself haha.)
As soon as I sat down, I knew this wasn't going to be a regular hair cut as I was treated to a luxurious shampoo and condition in a lavish, spa-like room. The lights were low and the music was tranquil, extremely relaxing.
After the shampoo, I was treated to a haircut unlike any other. You see, when I get my haircut normally, I am shoved into a chair, given a military-like experience and pushed out the door. There's minimal conversation and the cut is impersonal and forgettable. Quite the contrary here at the Paul Mitchell School, I was engaged the entire time I was in my chair talking about The Beatles, hair, Sex Pistols, Las Vegas; you name it and we talked about it. Not only was the conversation extremely free-flowing, but the knowledge I gained about my own hair was completely insightful. I was informed of my hair growing patterns, different styles I could do with it and more which I never knew about my own head wig. Very cool.
If you're going here to get a cut, make sure you request Andrew Hanson, the dude is a master with the shears already and you'll want to get a cut from him before he's charging hundreds of dollars at a top salon. The dude is going places.
10 stars if I could.
