"I have mixed feelings about this salon. I had been a repeat customer for a couple of years, going to a junior stylist (she no longer works there now). In the beginning it was wonderful. I found it a little expensive, but it is Yorkville and I was always happy with the cut & colour I got, so I continued coming back, and I always gave the stylist good tips.\n\nI don't know if it's just my imagination, but the prices seemed to increase until I found the blowdry to be too costly on top of getting my hair coloured and cut. So, on my last visit my usual stylist had finished rinsing my hair, cut it, and then asked if I wanted a blowdry. When she told me how much extra it would cost I politely declined, at which time she handed me the blowdryer and told me to do it myself. I was extremely surprised, this has never happened to me anywhere before. So I stood there and quickly tried to dry my own hair, as it felt extremely uncomfortable to be the only client in the entire salon to be standing alone & drying their own hair. I looked over to see what my stylist was doing, and she was standing at the back and filing her nails. I was so angry that this girl I'd repeatedly come back to, and have repeatedly given tips of 30% of the price of a cut & colour, would rather spend 10 minutes filing her nails, rather than just quickly drying my hair. I had thought that paying for an expensive blowdry included sytling- and that I understand. But to refuse to dry my hair at all seemed incredibly rude and unprofessional, not to mention very uncomfortable for me to have everyone watching as I did it myself. I had no option: if I didn't want to pay for an expensive blowdry & styling, and didn't agree to do it myself, I'd have left with wet hair in the middle of winter. I haven't been back since.\n\nI often consider coming back and giving a different stylist a try, but if their blowdry policy is still \"all or nothing\" I doubt I will be back. I've been to plenty of other places willing to simply dry my hair for free."^^ . . "2014-05-09T00:00:00"^^ . "2"^^ . . "3"^^ . . "26"^^ . "4"^^ .
