| - I guess this is sort of a dual review because I've only been to two salons in the Cleveland area, so I view them comparatively.
First, I went to Crazy Mullets two or three times when I lived near Coventry for a year. I was dissatisfied with them, but their prices were so reasonable that I thought I'd be stuck with them (I'm a graduate student living on a stipend, so I don't splurge much, really, but at the same time I want to treat myself rather than go to SuperCuts.)
Then I discovered Abstract! First, I had to visit because they were running a promotion for 50% off! My stylist, Ryan, was very helpful with my general questions about hair-care and she didn't pressure me into buying their products, but told me what she was using and said I should wait and see how I liked it. If I could afford it, I definitely would buy their products, just because she was so nice and understanding.
Of the two, Abstract is a little more expensive. But, they have a 15% student discount, which helps even things out, plus their regular cut includes a shampoo (which you should expect from any salon). Finally, the couple extra dollars is worth it due to the great feeling of being pampered and having good conversation with friendly people. It feels like a salon from a movie, as we were all chatting together and having a great time.
Finally finally, they get five stars because they have mascots: Two little doggies keep the customers' company in the waiting area! Love them!
