| - I'm one of those people who goes way too long in between cuts. And when I do get one, it costs less than $20. But I know that you get what you pay for so I did a Yelp search for nearby salons and was thrilled when I found an organic salon! I read reviews beforehand--all of them, in fact. I was a bit nervous because of the lady who had poor service. So I called and had my questions answered so that there would be no surprises. (The $25 consultation is for dreadlocks and stuff). Anyway, I presented several photos to my stylist, Alicia. She washed and straightened my hair and when we were done (two hours later!!!) my hair looked absolutely nothing like the photos, in fact, I put it in a ponytail immediately because I hated it. I was already there for two hours and realized it wasn't going to get any better any time soon. She then says it's an additional $10 because SHE went over an hour. Um, excuse me? What did I do to make you work painstakingly slow? What was I going to do, argue about the $10? I signed the receipt and reluctantly tipped her but I did leave feeling ripped off. Not because of the $75 I spent but because I didn't walk out of there looking or feeling fabulous.
The three stars are because the salon is cute, they use organic products and I didn't get a lecture about the state of my hair.
Update:
When I got home and properly did my hair I like it and it felt great for days. So in summary, good haircut, good products but takes too long and beware of the hidden fees.
