After reading several reviews about different salons/barbers I chose to make my appointment at Thorps.
I first went to their website to see what they were about and noticed they had the option to make appointments online. LOVE this. Online ordering/appointment setting is where it's at and I wish everyone did it.
Anyway, I got there a bit early and hung out for awhile and read some magazines. A beverage was offered several times, which I didn't have, but the offer was much appreciated.
When Stephen was ready I showed him a picture of what I wanted and he an I discussed how to make that happen with my hair and he set to work. I have a ton of ear piercings and I've had haircuts where I thought I might get an earring ripped out. Fortunately this was not the case here. Stephan was very careful and all went well.
The actual hair cut turned out great! Exactly what I wanted and more. I don't think I've ever gotten a haircut where every little detail was touched upon.
I've gotten so many compliments and I've only had the cut for 2 hours.
I'm beyond satisfied and will definitely be going back here for as long as I'm in Madison.
