| - Other than affordability, this place has nothing else going for it.
Not only did the lady do a hack job on my hair, but the place was filthy and the staff was unprofessional. Before I get to that part, let me talk about the hair: I went in, lured by the price and the fact that they were able to schedule me that day. I saw the negative reviews, but I only wanted a trim so I thought, hey, why not? I have shoulder length, straight hair, and I wasn't looking to change up the style or do anything complex, so I thought there was no way anyone could mess that up. I was dead wrong. I had a photo showing a long bob, and I mentioned how I wanted the front to be longer, so there's a subtle slope from the back. I motioned to her where I wanted it-- right at the base of my neck, just touching my shoulder, which she confirmed by motioning herself. The result was a tragically undeniably short cut in the most unflattering way possible-- the front was chin length and the sides were right below my ears. The back was pixie cut length. At first she cut a decent length and asked me if it was okay, so I said okay, then she goes to the other side and chops off a huge amount, so much so that it was visibly uneven. I immediately protested, but she kept saying that it was okay and this was how it was done. She ended up just trimming and trimming until all my hair was gone... This was nothing like what I asked for and I have no choice but to wear a lot of hats and grow it out...
Now the place. When I got there, there was no one in the salon. I sat down, and after a while a woman peered out. She was EXTREMELY unkempt. Her hair was basically a birdsnest, like she hadn't showered for a while and just rolled out of bed. I would later realize she was actually a HAIRSTYLIST. Like really? How could you do hair when your own hair looks like that?! She was also squinting and grumpy, like she had just woken up. Another client came in later to see her, and one of the first things she said was "Are you okay?" Might I add her attitude was just as bad as she looked; the client tried to cheerfully make conversation and she was extremely short with her. Another lady came out later to do my hair, and she at least looked groomed, much to my relief. The place though, has definitely seen better days: there was visible dirt and hair in the corners and along the walls, and there was dust everywhere. There was also a giant fly that buzzed around my head that the lady would just attempt to swat off every few minutes.
When I came in the salon was empty, so I don't see why the two stylists couldn't have spent some time to clean the place. Also, while I was getting my hair done, the lady with the messy hair would just wander in and out of the salon aimlessly, which was strange. Moreover, it seems like they don't have a receptionist because my stylist kept leaving to answer calls for the salon, and at several times she would stop just to answer personal texts and calls on her cell. How unprofessional!
This turned out to be lengthy, but oh my goodness... Avoid avoid avoid! Not worth the $.
