| - In the past I've always gotten my hair cut at places like Great Clips or Cost Cutters. I'd always leave with my $12 haircut feeling unsatisfied and even more embarrassed with my hair than when I went in.
When I'd finally had the last straw with crappy haircuts, I decided it was time to suck it up and actually pay for some quality. Upon recommendation, I went to HAIR.
HAIR is located on Monroe St. right across the street from Trader Joe's. If you turn down any of the side streets you will usually find ample two hour parking.
On the outside the shop looks small, but inside you will find it is quite big and contains the usual - 8 or so salon chairs, a few sinks, and a wall of hair products and cosmetics.
When you first walk in you will be promptly greeted and offered a drink and magazine. Hospitality and comfort are certainly NOT lacking at HAIR.
As for the haircuts, you will receive nothing less than top notch quality. My hair is thick, slightly frizzy and has a bit of a wave to it and Melissa was able to cut my hair the way it was meant to be cut. The layers were TRULY layers and not just some botched attempt by some new hire at Cost Cutters. I left HAIR feeling good about my hair and myself. This is something I can say for no other place I've ever been.
I've only gotten haircuts at HAIR, but they offer the usual services (color, perm, styling, etc...).
While they are more expensive than Great Clips, I'd say they are pretty reasonable. A haircut usually runs about $35 (not including tip). It's important to remember though, you really do get what you pay for.
