I've been coming here for a few months now to get a blow out for special events or just when I am feeling lazy. At $10 you can see why I call it my guilty pleasure!
The salon is a bit noisy and the music does change daily depending on who picked the station so if you are looking for relaxation you may want to look elsewhere. BUT if you are looking for a quick 'do, mani/pedi or a cheap cut then this is your place. The bad news is you have to get there early because they take their last appointments at 2 PM and I don't believe they are open on the weekends.
I have not had a hair cut there but all the stylists I have had so far have been knowledgeable, personable and listened to what I asked for. Many of the student stylists are close to graduating so you shouldn't feel worried that they are fresh out of haircutting 101.
My only gripe, as with any salon I go to is smokers. Nothing ruins my style experience worse than a stylist whose hands smell like cigarettes. It is a bit of a younger crowd that works in the salon but you can't fault them for having a trendy or punk look as long as they deliver the style you are looking for.
