| - Like Craig K, below, I really want to like this place, but (as Craig says) it's impossible. What gets me is the wait and the attitude.
The store opens at 10. You'll go in and, hey, no line-up. Great! But wait. Two of the hair stylists are eating lunch, at noon. Fair enough--people need to eat. But it's like they've been working only two hours. Can't they drop lunch for the moment and go back to it once they're done with the client? I mean, it's not as though they've been working for hours and hours. One guy is in the back, done eating, and is now relaxing or something. The other guy comes in with his lunch and proceeds to eat it, sitting on the windowsill. A client of his is there, waiting. He says hello, and he doesn't even explain to the client what's going on. I guess we're meant to intuit that since he's got lunch in his hands, then lunch is the priority. The client smiles and goes back to reading--what else can you do? But you'd think he'd put aside his lunch for now and attend to his client? Not on your life. Just like the hair stylist I was waiting for, this one decides too that he's too cool for work. Hey, we're chill man, you know? We eat lunch, you know, we come first, you sit and wait. .... And wait..... And wait.
The impression is that the store runs according to their whims, and that customers are second to things like hangin' and eating lunch or whatever. And if you don't like it, heck, leave! There's always another unsuspecting walk-in coming along College, right?
So I left. 30 minutes of my life gone. I was a repeat client but no more. Not going back.
