| - I had such a great experience at Parlour, with my stylist Sam!
My hair grows at a snail's pace, and I hadn't had a cut in almost a year. I was feeling especially impatient with the lack of shape in my hair, and didn't want to wait the 2-3 weeks that I normally have to to get an appointment where I usually go. I saw all the good reviews for Parlour, was on board with the affordable price point, and decided to give it a shot.
I was super nervous going in, as I've had some snarky stylists make comments about my hair and even my clothes before (I run a dog daycare, so I dress pretty casual since I'm always covered in hair and slobber - and I usually run my errands immediately after leaving work; so I don't tend to be wearing a waist trainer and a full face of contoured make-up when I hit a salon). My ends are bleached from an at-home ombre, and that tends to trigger stylists to try to convince me to cut all the bleach out, even when I explain how slow my hair grows, and that despite it being dry I put that color in there for a reason. So right off the bat, I asked Sam to not judge me too hard, that I'm well aware of my sins - and he just laughed and said everything was fine and really not that bad. (SEE! I knew it!)
He really listened to what I had to say, and looked through the pictures I'd brought of what I wanted. My hair was pretty much all one length, except for a way grown out fringe, and I wanted a modern shag. He said that would suit my hair type really well, and we discussed how much length I was comfortable with him taking off. We compromised, and he was very mindful to not cut more off than we had discussed.
I really liked how he kept checking in with me as to how I was liking it. He was really open to incorporating any little details about how I know I like my hair, making those adjustments happily. It was a really good looking haircut!
Not only was the cut meticulous, but Sam was a delight to talk to! The conversation flowed really naturally, which was a relief as often it can feel really forced and awkward in these kinds of situations. Topics ranged from dogs, to Tinder, to Star Wars, to RuPaul, to cosmetic dermatology, ridiculous photo apps, and social media management...it was great!
I'm looking forward to actually maintaining this haircut with Sam, and the fact that's it's actually affordable to do so is fantastic! I would absolutely recommend Parlour to anyone looking for a place that will provide quality, modern cuts, at a price-point that's not outrageous.
