| - Claire by far surpassed my expectations - she was phenomenal.
I have unique & hard to manage irish hair, (soft, but curly wavy, but frizzy, but huge sometimes & flat other times, easily greasy, but sort of dry,) and left feeling elated that I wouldn't have to grow out yet another unfortunate haircut.
She listened to my neurotic & choppy instructions ("I want to keep my length, but maybe cut off some; and I don't want it heavy down here, but I want to make sure theres body here; I want it to look smashing when I wear it naturally curly so I need layers here, but the layers must blend perfectly as I need it to be cohesive when I wear it straight...") and finally replied, "Ok, I think we have a plan here."
She cut for nearly an hour - and within that hour I geeked out over our mutual love of The Smiths, The Cure & the impending tour of swedish punk band Refused.
Claire also answered all of my hair related questions, and we troubleshot for a while on my problem areas (hard water or soft water? no poo or shampoo daily? what kind of conditioner? would I benefit from a hair mask? which oil would repair my dry ends but not leave it greasy? so forth.)
Positives of Thorps to not overlook :
-great vibe, clean & not snooty.
-online booking!
-they offer you a beer when you walk in. how perfect is that?
