Only the owner do listen to and cut according to how you want them to cut and style. No other stylist at this place can deliver as good as the owner. I'm a little biased here but I personally believe there is a higher chance that your hair will turn out great if you choose male hair stylist, of course I've tried male stylist in the past at other places and cut horrible hair. just the higher probability than female hair stylist.
I would highly recommend Etch over the other Asian hair salons
e.g X-treme Hair Salon (Harvest Hills Blvd NE), Shear Synergy Salon (Chinatown) and to name a few. What's wrong with these two salons ?
most notably, their customer service skill is very poor, can not believe how arrogant they can be towards a customer. I would stay away from those places.
