| - Overall, Vivaldi Salon Suits seems like a pretty nice place aside from making you walk through a store awkwardly to go upstairs and get your hair done, but my review isn't about the place itself.
I've only been to one person there, Bruce Craig. I've always gotten my hair chemically straightened and overall that turned out okay except he never once told me I shouldn't shower after, I always had to ask. Anyways the second to last time I visited him I asked him if he could do my hair for my senior prom which was a few months away at that point. He said he would and I made an appointment for 11o'clock, the morning of April 16th which was the day of my prom.
By making my appointment several months in advance, I assumed that everything would go pretty smoothly. I was wrong. I got there and he wasn't just rude, he was convinced that my mother had some kind of jaw injury last time we were there, which was not the case. That's fine I'm sure he gets a lot of customers and it would be hard to remember them all, fine. Even after we seemed confused and corrected him he wouldn't drop it. I sat in the chair he suggested just straightening it. My hair is already pretty straight so I didn't want anything plain (absolutely not one person at the prom had just straightened hair. Not one.) and I told him I wanted it half up. Since his self given title is 'Stylist to the Stars' I didn't think there would be any complications but this is where the real problem started.
He rudely informed me that he didn't do updo's and he said he would go around and ask other people there but it was /my/ fault because I waited until the last minute. Obviously everyone else there was booked. It was the day of prom, I never expected anything different. I left in tears and was eventually able to find a salon near a nearby grocery store that could get me in, but that ruined my morning.
Bruce Craig is rude, delusional, and apparently all he knows about styling is how to use a straightener like just about every female teenager in the United States. Really, its not that hard. Stylist to the Stars my butt.
I will NEVER go back to him (despite the fact that I don't have a back up person to cut my hair, I'd rather never cut my hair again) and I suggest you don't either.
