| - I just stopped in Thorps this evening for another haircut, this time with Quinley. Totally pleased! In fact, I scheduled my next cut with Quinley before I left.
Even though I was mostly in for a trim, we talked about the heaviness of my thick hair and she made a big difference in lightening up the layers in my near-shoulder length bob.
My last cut at Thorps was with Tara and she really cleaned up a grown out, trendier cut into a clean bob. She understood how to smooth the layers in my straight, yet thick hair so everything looked polished for the next couple of months. A stylist who works well with thick hair is a special find and now I've found two at Thorps! After blowing it out she carefully went back over bits that might be prone to flipping outward. We talked a bit about her preferences and I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a beachy/boho hairstyle - this woman definitely has a passion for voluminous waves, sea salt spray, and highlights.
All in all, I love Thorps for these reasons:
1. Great vibe - it's classy but laid back and the space is so roomy, I find it much more relaxing than your average salon.
2. Price - it varies by stylist of course but I can get a reasonable price on a great haircut. I certainly believe in paying for quality but, as a woman paying for upkeep cuts on a fairly simple hairstyle, I appreciate that Thorps has some stylists who aren't so veteran as to be out of my price range. My haircut today was $30 and I left my last salon when prices creeped above $45 per cut.
3. Product - they're obviously very choosey about the product they carry, use, and recommend. It all smells amazing, always a perk.
4. Hours - in my book it's a huge plus to schedule a later cut, and enjoy a PBR with it.
5. Service - the people here are always helpful and generally friendly although sometimes a little cold. What's that about anyway?
P.S. They do Bike Benefits and there's plenty of bike parking on the block. So pedal there and save a few bucks!
