I'm conflicted about this review.
I had two services done - haircut and brow wax. I've fallen out of love with my old stylist thanks to a wonky color job. I went back once to get it fixed, but alas, still not happy. So the search for a new salon began. I stumbled upon Hudson E Hudson thanks to yelp.
The ambiance is excellent. I also love that you can book online.
Where things went sideways was my brow wax. Jen did both my wax and my cut. She did the wax while shampooing my hair. She didn't give me a mirror after the wax so when I went back to her station for the cut the brows appeared to look good (based on review from two feet away from the mirror). She proceeded to do the cut and I'm loving it. It's the inverted bob that my old stylist struggled to get past that first magical cut (see my review of Carmen Carmen). Anywho, the cut is awesome. I was pleased.
I even booked a hair color apt on my way out. All was right with the world....until I got into my car and actually got a chance to look up close at my brows. They seriously didn't look touched. They were the same as when I walked in. They weren't clean and neat at.all. I was very bummed. So bummed that I debated going back in t complain, but I did not.
Brow wax = 2 stars, at least I didn't get burned or otherwise injured
Hair cut = 4 stars
Average = 3 stars. I'm really debating if I am going to keep going back the brows were that bad. She didn't mess them up, but I paid 15 bucks and look as bushy as when I went in. I guess that was my fault for not insist on a mirror to check out the brows - but when I got into my car, wooh baby. Back to Benefit Brow Bar at Ulta. Boo, they are very pricey, but you can't argue with the shaping they do.
