| - I've been to Vanguard a few times - and was really impressed by the great space and the hospitality. They have a great tea!
I had an appointment last Friday at 5 for a cut - not just any cut, my hair was mid-way down my back with an ombre and my ends needed a new beginning.
I showed my stylist all kinds of above shoulder to shoulder length styles with/without bangs - I wanted a change and I wanted my ombre gone, and I needed to be able to get it off my face for yoga. She did a rough cut for me, not too short and washed my hair. So far so good.
As we're getting into the cut, I'm noticing that not a lot of length is coming off and my shape was starting to look like a shorter version of what I already had - which if it wasn't for my ombre, I would consider it boring. I asked her to go shorter, she said are you sure, and still didn't cut what I asked for - she said she liked my length, and if I wanted bangs after all this, I could come back. I didn't feel that I could keep asking her to go shorter so I asked her to take some of the bulk out of my hair, which she eventually agreed to texturize.
My hair has been pixie length and really long - I love changing it up. My cut is pretty and would be enough for some - but I think if my stylist took the time to listen to what I was looking for and realized that I was going for a big change...not boring maybe the outcome would've been more what I was looking for. Definitely not worth the price this time.
She seemed to have a lot of regular customer that really love her work and that was nice to see, unfortunately I don't think she gave me the same attention as a regular.
