"After the fantastic experience I had the last time at Get Banged, I just had to go back for more.\n\nThe long and short of it (pun intended) is, I had been relaxing my naturally curly hair for three years, and decided to go natural after my last round of crazy chemical straightening in April. I finally had enough re-growth to even consider a big chop. So I called Get Banged.\n\nMy last haircut was with Lindsay, but she has since moved on. I booked in with Gillian, but she was sick on the day of my appointment. For fear of losing the nerve, I rebooked that same evening with Jill, who was the biggest rockstar to ever touch my scalp. Everyone in this place is unassuming and friendly. So if you're looking for a salon where every person under the roof is going to be genuinely friendly and comforting, you should probably get your bum on over to Inglewood.\n\nI explained the situation to Jill: I had 12 inches of straight hair and just 4 inches of curly regrowth. I wanted all the straight crap gone. Even though it was going to be pixie short, the end goal is to grow it back out. I detest blow dryers and curling irons and straightening irons, and I wanted a haircut that is as low maintenance as I am. Jill was down for this. Jill was excited for this. Jill took a good long time to look at my head and devise a plan. Jill's confidence made me confident, and prevented me from crying like a baby as all of my hair fell to the floor.\n\nJill gave me one wicked ass haircut.\n\nI get compliments every. single. day. From people I know, from strangers, from passers by. Most importantly, I love the cut I got at Get Banged. I feel more confident, independent of what anyone else has to say about it. I save tons of time getting ready in the morning, because Jill really gave me a wash-and-go kind of cut.\n\nI cannot say enough times how pleased I am with my Get Banged experience. If you have hair, you should go there. If you have curly hair, you especially should go there. \n\nI should also mention, I brought a friend because, well, she just wanted to watch. I recommend bringing some type of support person if you're about to chop off all of your hair. Anyway, everyone was totally cool with my friend sitting in the chair next to me (no waiting room for her!) which ended up really saving some of my sanity. I was delighted that they were so welcoming!\n\nJust great human beings giving great haircuts!"^^ .
