| - My mom received a fantastic haircut here back when they were more recently opened from someone here, and I couldn't wait to go back for mine.
Well 3 months after that the woman who gave my mom her haircut left, and I got a haircut with no shape or body when I specifically picked one out from a picture - looked nothing like it. Chalked it up to a fluke, went back again a year or so later, and she ruined an amazing haircut I got in China a few months before that really just needed a little maintenance. It was then that I found out the stylist my mom had simply came from NY to lend a helping hand or something and isn't coming back, and I had been getting the owner.
Came here a third time an final time since I saw somebody else in here who claimed to have a lot of experience. I got a nice shaped haircut that looked just like I imagined... when she styled it in the salon. I asked specifically for something that doesn't make my hair flip outwards with little maintainance (something I have trouble with with most stylists) and she promised it would be fine, and it wasn't the next day. Turns out she didn't really work there all the time anyway and was, once again, just helping out.
So... in conclusion, I will never come here again, as much as I want to like this place. My mom, liking the lack of a language barrier and the convenience of being right next to a Chinese grocer, still comes here occasionally but will go to Chinatown in a bigger city at every opportunity her haircuts instead (and they complain about her hair being poorly cut, no surprise there).
