| - I've always loved the products at Ulta and I decided to try the salon because I just moved here and was shopping around for a new place, plus a friend gave me a $20 off coupon so why the hell not? I would just like to preface this review by mentioning that I do not just want a "haircut," I want an experience. If I'm dropping $50 on a haircut and style I want someone to massage my head and tell me how fabulous I am. At the very least I would like the person who is hovering 4 inches away from my face to at least attempt conversation.
I walked into the store and up to the salon where I was greeted with a blank stare and a half-interested inquiry of how I may be helped. After a few minutes I realized this person would be cutting my hair. Not a "How are you?" or "What is your name?" not even a "Hi." Mostly orders to "Sit here," followed by a "Sit there." When I finally got to the chair I was a little worried and attempted to explain how I would like my hair cut. Then she informed me that she would be cutting my hair "dry" i.e. without washing it, no water, no shampoo, nothing. I'm sorry, what? If I wanted my hair cut dry I would go to SuperCuts or a dog groomer. When I asked why, she quickly replied, "Well, I was going to explain why..." Surprisingly, her answer was NOT "Well, because I don't feel like it," because that's pretty much what she meant. I almost left, and I probably should have. She hustled me over to the dirty sink to wash my hair (and it was just soooo inconvenient for her), which lasted about 3 minutes.
What followed was about 20 minutes of complete silence while I prayed she didn't completely botch my hair. I mean, Jesus, she's not changing my oil she's a hairstylist, she could've at least attempted conversation. The accountant at H&R Block with a missing eyeglass lens had more personality. A good starting point would have been, "Hi, My name is (blank), what is yours?" But I guess they don't teach manners at the Hair Cuttery.
To my relief she didn't screw it up, but I'm still not happy with the results. My bangs are too long, which will grow out in a week, and the ends are too blunt, but I would rather live with that than spend another minute in that salon. The place was dirty, uncomfortable, and the highlight of the experience is when I left. A good alternative to the Ulta Salon is a decent weed-whacker or your little sister.
