| - Despite the good reviews, I was very very disappointed, and I must also mention, I had my hair fixed 2 days later in San Francisco where I had my wedding ceremony.
I made my appointment the same morning. They double booked Carina for the 1230h slot but since I arrived on time, she started cutting my hair. I explained to her what I wanted, and also told her that I was getting married that weekend and I wanted my hair to look nice. The unlucky lady arrived 15 minutes behind the appointment, and then we had a clearly unhappy client, a receptionist trying to have off-duty hairdresser help the situation, and Carina doing her job in silence while a male hairdresser just kept talking to walk-in customers as if he wanted to draw their attention away from the bad atmosphere. I shouldn't have had to feel bad about the whole situation, but I did anyway.
Carina, I guess, did not think it was good idea to apply my preferences to my hair and did her own thing, which was not to my liking. I wish she had listened to and understood my explanations as to how I wanted my hair done, or she should have focused on what she was getting paid to do instead of juggling between babysitting 2 of her kids and my hair. When I saw myself in the mirror, looking like a babybella mashroom, I hoped it was just the way she blow-dried it, and it should look better if I did it myself. But I was wrong. Her job "wow"ed my hairdresser in SF in a very negative way. The day before the wedding I looked like I was wearing a helmet.
I am glad Michael Lucich Hair Salon in Palo Alto fixed my hair. But otherwise, my husband would have ended up standing next to a very unhappy mashroom at our wedding.
Oh, I must also mention, I asked Carina that I wanted straight-across bangs just below my eyebrows. She paraphrased my request saying "Oh, so you don't want rainbow bangs?" yet I ended up having rainbow arched bangs above my eyebrows...
