Decided to come here even though the reviews on Yelp were so bad
I thought "they r so busy so it must not be the bad"... but I was wrong... so so soooo wrong
I'll never doubt you again yelp
I made an appt on Saturday, got there a bit early and it wasn't too busy (probably because it was raining)
I showed the girl a picture of what I wanted and she said "sure" and she would do it with the brushes.... so far, so good
she washes my hair... also fine
*i did find it a bit weird that the place is SO small there's no where to wait or hang your jacket but that's ok
So i sit in the chair and the girl now tells me she's gonna use a curly iron since my hair is so "fine"... I was ok with that thinking she'd blow dry it with some wave and then use the curling iron to enhance.... while she's drying my hair, all the girls are just gossiping.. about the owner, about other clients, about employees, etc
While she's drying my hair, I also mention "oh i like what that girl has or that girl" since there were 2 others in the "salon" that were getting something similar to what i wanted.
She ends up just drying my hair and curling it... which I could easily do at home
I was expecting something more ... I've had my hair blow dried before.. it holds the style well and it's definitely not "too fine"
TBH it seems like she wanted to finish up because they were closing soon.
I didn't really see the finished style while I was there because she told me she didn't want to "seperate the curls" so it stays better for when I get home ... but I wasn't expecting it to look just curled.. especially since that's not the picture I showed her
By the time I got home and started getting dressed (probably no more than 15-30 minutes after), I loosen the curls and realize the right side of my hair is totally flat
like BARELY a wave (and I have naturally wavy hair)
I tried to re curl but it kept falling flat because of the product already in it
Needless to say, it looked ridiculous
So i had the pleasure of paying $45 (including tax, tip) for someone to dry my hair with a blowdryer and curl it and then have the curl not even stay in my hair
Really disappointed as the place is super close to where I live and i was looking forward to coming by regularly
One note - one of the girls, Kristen (I think), was doing someone else's hair and it looked very nice - she did a good blow dry, added some curls, and seemed to be more interested in her customer than chatting with the other employees. If you decide to go here (although you shouldn't), request her
