Unless I can find someone trained from Vidal Sassoon working at a different salon, I'll always be disappointed. \n\nI started getting my hair cut at the Vidal Sassoon Academy in Santa Monica, CA (where they teach stylists how to cut and color). That in and of itself made me a firm believer in the magic they can create. Every time I'd leave the salon I'd get numerous comments on how good my hair looked. I always felt like a million bucks. \n\nWhen I moved to Arizona I tired a couple of well-known salons before settling back with Vidal Sassoon. No other salon compares. It's well worth the money for the cut, and trust me, forking over $80 just for a cut and tip doesn't come easily to me! It took a lot of disappointment with other stylists to come to the conclusion that they're worth the money. \n\nAfter going to the Academy for years (and paying next to nothing) for cuts and colors, I listened to the instructors teach students how to cut. First, the actual way the hair is cut is different than other schools; this is the main reason why their cuts are FAR superior in my opinion. You can tell by the way your hair feels and moves when you leave the salon. This may sound silly but it feels like it's a part of your body and not just an extension of it. That's the best way I can describe it. \n\nIn fact, I've found their cuts look better the less styling you do to them.\n\nPlus, they're long lasting, and don't require you to come back every 2 months. The stylists have said I could wait 3 months to get it re-cut, and possibly make it last 4. They weren't joking. That saves money and when you break it down, the price is comparable to most nicer salons. \n\nI've found one of the truest tests of a good haircut is how well it grows out. Any cut can look good the first month (if styled properly and colored well) but only a FANTASTIC cut comes out looking good 2 months down the road without any styling or blow drying. If you can get it to look great 3 or 4 months down the road? Well that's beyond belief in my opinion. \n\nI'm adventurous with my cuts, and they love that. They're not afraid to cut your hair in an extreme fashion if that's what you want. They're also very good about sticking to your original plan for your hair and not diverting you away from your idea (and thus having it come out being exactly the opposite of what you want). Even if you're not adventuresome, they are good at accommodating \n\nThe staff is excellent, very nice and helpful. I get my hair done by Mark, I highly recommend him!"^^ . "2008-06-24T00:00:00"^^ .
