This is an interesting concept. My sister gave me a style for Christmas and scheduled an appointment for us the day after. I don't usually do my hair aside from pulling it back. I had the Manhattan (the straightest style they offer), and I added on the 10min scalp massage for $10. The scalp massage was great. Usually when I get my hair cut, the massage lasts 1 minute, and it's done -- that always makes me sad since they feel so good. This one felt great and was worth the extra $10. My stylist had rather forced conversation throughout the entire visit, and she was apologetic for using product in my hair. There was a big screen TV with movies being shown, and they had the closed captioning on which was nice. I may be back if I have a reason to go. It was an interesting experience.
