| - I have been wanting to change my hair drastically from the Mom Bob I've been sporting to something a little more chic and short. After moving to Matthews, I found very few of the local salons were thoroughly reviewed. Attitudes had a thorough website with descriptions of the stylists and a service menu, etc., so I decided to give them a try.
I called them on a Thursday afternoon and they were able to fit me in within a few hours with April Crooke. I got there a few minutes early and was greeted immediately by a genuinely friendly receptionist who got offered me a drink. April came out immediately and escorted me back to my hair. I told her what I wanted, she washed my hair and got to work immediately. She was confident and decisive with her shears, which made me feel very comfortable this was a stylist who knew what she was doing (it always makes me nervous when I get a stylist who has to stand back and decide what to do next). She was also very laid-back and easy to talk to. I'm a jeans, t-shirt and tattoos kind of woman, so I've gotten a few snobby stylists over the years who haven't had much to say to me, but April was super easy to get along with.
Secondly, I have very fine, straight hair, but a LOT of it. I have had many cuts in the past that were mediocre because of this (most stylists don't know how to thin it out so it doesn't look blocky, so a style that looks great in the salon ends up looking kind of chunky and bleh once I get home and wash it out, rather than soft and pretty). April knew how to handle it, thinning it out with a razor.
But you don't need to know every detail of my hair cut. What you do need to know is I walked out of there absolutely glowing, with the awesome pixie cut I'd dreamed of, and she even showed me how to style it easily so I can keep it looking fantastic. I don't feel like a shlumpy mom anymore, I feel like a freaking movie star. I mean, this hair cut might actually have been a bad idea, because I might just stop taking care of my kids and stare in the mirror all the time. I have never had a better salon experience and I absolutely will be back to Attitudes to see April.
