| - My experience with hair salons over the years has consisted of many, many first dates that went nowhere and much too much time coming home to do my own repair work after a butchered haircut. I was beginning to lament that Charlotte was not home to a single stylist that could cut more than grass when I was recommended to try Cutting Image and all my problems were solved!
Let my start by saying my hair is weird to deal with. It has a natural curl that I actively suppress, it's coarse and busy, it grows thick instead of long, and there's starting to be less and less of it on the front. If it sounds like the stuff stylists' nightmares are made of, that's because it is. I assume it's also why many stylists before didn't know what to do (or didn't care to try).
But Sarah at Cutting Image is a miracle worker who spent the time on my first visit doing a thorough consultation, getting to know me and my hair and what I've liked in the past and what I haven't. She created a cut that worked perfectly for me and I can't imagine seeing anyone else now.
I was very impressed by the professionalism of the entire staff and the kindness they show everyone who comes through the door. During my last visit, when I arrived they were pretty slow - in the mirror I could see another stylist using a mannequin head to practice a style in her downtime, instead of the cellphone/magazine/eating I've seen in every other salon I've tried. No wonder the ladies here are so good - they care about what they do!
And yes, as others have said, it's not the $15 haircut most places offer, but you get every penny's worth that you pay for and I would recommend Cutting Image to anyone.
