| - I was hesitant to write this review because I've been seeing my same stylist, Erica, for a while. So, I really can't speak for a general walk in experience or what it is like to be in someone else's chair. I should probably get that out there right away.
I first started coming simply because they were close to my house, had good prices, and seemed a bit more on trend than the old lady short-white-perm salons nearby. I'm glad I did! I got Erica by chance, I just requested an appointment and she was the first available so I took that. I've been loyal to her ever since. Dear God, if she ever packs up and leaves state I think I'll just have to give up and shave my head because no one comes close to her.
I've never been loyal to a stylist before, just too many overpriced mediocre experiences. I love coming here though because they get what you want and give you exactly what you ask for. They also communicate with you throughout so they make sure they aren't deviating from "the plan". I like wild hair so I was always frustrated when I would bring a picture into a salon and would receive some watered down, tame version of what I asked for. As if I wasn't really aware I had asked for a mohawk, instead I leave with a pixie? No thanks. Erica somehow is a magic head genie and makes your hair look like the photograph, every time. Like a magician pulling a rabbit out of her hat, she can pull your head out of your butt and make it look adorable.
The prices are middle of the road. Way cheaper than a high end, designer salon but don't expect Super Cuts prices either. If you are used to paying more for a tee shirt than you are for your hair cut, you might not like it here. But then again, if you are a connoisseur of $7 hair cut coupons it might explain why your cranial situation is lookin' tragic.
They always have coffee available, which I LOVE! I also get cut and color services done here regularly, both being well priced and well executed. This is also the only salon I have ever purchased product from before, consistently. I do that now because I actually leave with a hair cut I would like to replicate on a daily basis, as opposed to every other salon I have been to.
The couch is comfy to wait on while your color processes and they at least have interesting and current magazines, as in from the last two months. No ten year old issues of Highlights, thank God! They often play movies too which is a good way to kill time while you are waiting, neat movies to like Hook and other nostalgia trips.
I hope to see them expand to a bigger location. I've heard their east side location does nails as well and I would love to see them offer that service at the Lakewood location too! I would also like to see them branch out in to more services like waxing, eye lash extensions, etc. because as of this writing, if I want those services I do have to get them done at a different salon. But I would like Crazy Mullets to be a one stop shop for me.
In short, if you are looking for a cool and relaxed vibe in a place with fair prices, or if you are struggling to find a salon that can give you that really unique cut/color then give them a try!
