I booked an appointment at the Hair District for a shampoo/blow dry/styling so I could have my hair curled before a wedding. I noticed another reviewer mentioned how well they seem to curl other client's hair and the salon was close to where I was staying so I figured it was a good choice.
My hair was styled by Clement. After the shampoo and while blow drying, there was a small knot in my hair. Instead of grabbing a comb to get it out, he used the round brush already in his hand and ripped the hair right out which I did not totally appreciate.
Other than asking if I wanted my hair curled with a round brush or with a hot curling iron, he didn't bother asking what type of curls I wanted. In addition, he started from the very back of my head so I really had no idea what it was looking like until he got to the front. The curls were very tight which was exactly what I hadn't wanted. I thought about asking to break them up a little but didn't bother in case he didn't know how to do this and made it worse.
I informed him when I first sat down that I was having my hair done for a wedding and asked that he please use lots of hair spray to make sure it would stay in for most of the evening. Well I'm glad I didn't say anything to him about the tight curls because within 2 hours, nearly everything had fallen out.
When I paid at the cash I was told it was $40 + tax, however when I made the appointment (and I told them the length of my hair - it's not very long) they told me it would be $35.
Overall, did not enjoy my experience here. Paid $45 plus tip to have my hair curled for what barely lasted an hour or two.
