| - I cannot say enough about how great my experience was here. I have very curly, very thick hair that has been massacred many a time in the past. I had a guy in Chicago who had cut my hair for the last ten years and the only stylist I had ever come to trust with it. Commuting to Chicago for a haircut was becoming silly, so I began asking around: friends recommended Ippatsu, my mom recommended anyone certified with DevaCurl. Jake was these two things combined.
Jake is great for a number of reasons. Not only did he know exactly what he was doing with my hair (understood how curl shape and size changes when drying, did a dry cut, understood product combinations, etc.), but he listened to what is wanted to get out of my hair. He was conservative with the length and took encouragement to go shorter, and gave me perhaps the best overall shape and texture I have ever had with a style (no Cleopatra bobs here!).
In response to some of the other reviews I must say that the ambiance and professionalism of the new location is excellent: efficiently indie. Also, tis place is absolutely not at all whatsoever overpriced. I was charged $40 and tipped an extra $10 for an excellent first attempt with difficult hair. In Chicago I was paying nearly $90 for that kind of consistency (which in the city can run you upwards of $150 a cut). I was in and out in less than an hour with a style that I didn't want to wash out as soon as I got home. It's your hair, you live in it every day, so it should cost more than a date lunch. Can't say a bad word about the folks at Ippatsu.
