My experience at ANiU didn't come under the best of circumstances - I had gotten my hair cut the day before at another salon and the best description for what I was left with is "hack job." Since I was leaving for vacation the next day, I was desperate to have it fixed and called ANiU since I've heard their ads on the radio forever.
The woman who booked my appointment was very nice, and after I explained the situation and that I needed a stylist very experienced with working with short hair she recommended an appointment with Amy, a level three stylist ($40).
When I arrived for my appointment I was checked in and took a seat in the waiting area, which is set up with coffee and hot tea. Amy came out to get me right on time and took a few minutes to listen to my preferences. She then told me what she could do to help salvage the cut and got to work.
She was able to even out much of the choppiness of the first cut and give my hair a better shape, while keeping within my initial preferences. She then showed me how to easily style it and suggested a product to keep it from flying away on me. Some people have mentioned that the staff really pushes product, but she didn't push me to buy anything, she just asked if I needed anything and when I said no, that was that.
The salon is HUGE - I was really surprised by how many stylist chairs they have. Amy told me they have upwards of 50 stylists who work at the salon, which explains how easy it was to get an appointment on such short notice just before Labor Day.
I would definitely recommend both the salon and Amy.
