"After reading several reviews about different salons/barbers I chose to make my appointment at Thorps.\n\nI first went to their website to see what they were about and noticed they had the option to make appointments online. LOVE this. Online ordering/appointment setting is where it's at and I wish everyone did it.\n\nAnyway, I got there a bit early and hung out for awhile and read some magazines. A beverage was offered several times, which I didn't have, but the offer was much appreciated. \n\nWhen Stephen was ready I showed him a picture of what I wanted and he an I discussed how to make that happen with my hair and he set to work. I have a ton of ear piercings and I've had haircuts where I thought I might get an earring ripped out. Fortunately this was not the case here. Stephan was very careful and all went well.\n\nThe actual hair cut turned out great! Exactly what I wanted and more. I don't think I've ever gotten a haircut where every little detail was touched upon.\n\nI've gotten so many compliments and I've only had the cut for 2 hours. \n\nI'm beyond satisfied and will definitely be going back here for as long as I'm in Madison."^^ .
