| - This place is actually ratchet, and I would rather not have a haircut than to get it done here.
When I was in high school, I used to come here a lot to cut my hair (since I was on a budget.. hello, student here!) I'd say I've come here probably 4-5 times for haircuts and twice for hair dying. This place is really disorganized and there's always SO many people waiting at the door. I've never been satisfied with a haircut here- it's always off, too choppy when I asked for layered or just plain messy. You know how usually when you leave a salon, it looks so good from the blowout that you spend the rest of the week trying to replicate it? Not here.. I spend the rest of my week trying to hide behind a hat or putting it in a pony tail. Once I asked for side swept bangs (they were the thing back then) and it looked absolutely disgusting, the bangs in the front were too short and I looked like spock from star trek. You know your haircut sucks when people at school asks you "did you try to cut your own hair?" The pictures on the wall, with all the pretty models with nice hair.. is that stolen off the internet? I don't think these hair stylists can pull that off..
Also, the service is always inconsistent and they always act differently, depending on the day. I think once they didn't have any spots and shoved one of their interns or newbies towards me and told her to go use me as practice. Me, being the non-confrontational 15 year old I once was, I slowly accepted her 'hair styling' and 'tips'. The one time I dyed my hair there, I got red highlights and they barely bleached it before applying red. It was so dark and unnoticeable, while they all stood around in awe and said it was 'gorgeous on an oriental girl' (Excuse me, what century are we in?)
The prices are obviously cheap for haircuts and even for dye. But would you risk humiliation and sadness for it? Nah. Also this girl offered to cornrow my hair for $30 for 5 rows.. lol bye.
Bleh. Bad experiences here, and I would not recommend it.
