| - I found an ad on Craigslist for a free haircut from a junior stylist named Ivy and went in on July 4th. I am very pleased with the results. I have long, red, curly hair and so most stylists don't know what to do with it. Ivy understood exactly what I wanted and was not afraid to make that first cut (I'm telling you, a lot of people are afraid to cut red and/or curly hair. Weirdos. haha)
Anyway, my hair is long, so I always expect about 2 hours when I'm at the salon, and it ended up only taking about an hour and a half. She washed my hair very thoroughly and I loved the scalp massage. It had been over a year since my last cut, so my hair feels great now. It has body, shine, and perfect layers again. She didn't take off too much or too little. She took great care with me, yet didn't go too slow. (She even offered me a drink, which NO ONE ELSE DID. I thought that was the receptionist's job, but maybe they thought I didn't deserve it because it was a free cut? I mean, there were 2 front counter girls, and it was about 112° outside so I was thirsty and wanted water.)
The supervisor walked by a couple times but did not give any pointers or advice, just kept nonchalantly saying, "beautiful, beautiful." Ivy was very thorough, so when he wouldn't actually stop and double check her work, she specifially went to him and told him he needed to check her work, which he finally did. Even though she had been cutting hair for a few years, part of the free haircut deal is that they check the work just to make sure and make her the best stylist she can be. I applaud her for going the extra mile with that. I like having a second opinion when I'm at work, too. You never know if someone else will catch something for you. I also completed the survey afterward, which was part of the learning experience.
The only thing I can say negatively (and it's more neutral really) is that I think she blow dried it just a little too much in a couple little places, not a big deal so I didn't mention it to her. And it was probably just because of the curl. Great volume at the roots, though. And I got lots of compliments anyway! haha.
Outside the salon, towards the food court, there was a kiosk so I took a picture and posted it on Facebook so everyone could see my great new haircut! If you go to Cristophe, be sure to take a picture afterward and spread the word.
(And to "Alisa" who complained about getting a terrible cut but then filled out the survey saying that everything was PERFECT: What probably happened is that you were totally pumped about your new hair, absolutely loved it, then when one rude person decided to tell you THEY didn't like it, you decided to change your whole tune. I work in customer service, I see that everyday. If you didn't like the cut, you should have said something during the whole process, don't just sit and wait for the end results. Getting your hair cut is an interactive process. If you didn't think she was doing it right, you should have ASKED for the master stylist and POINTED OUT the picture you were going by. The squeaky wheel gets the grease, dear.)
