1 /5 T: DO NOT WALKIN....be catious of the one one with 41 years of experience. she just cut off all my hair without asking how short I wanted it. She was cutting my hair and asked me how long my sides should be. She then went to the top and started trimming my hair which was over 4 inches long in some areas. I closed my eyes after I saw she was trimming the tips on the top and when I reopened my eyes while she was styling my hair with gel and I noticed inches of my hair gone. On her own free will, she decided what length my hair should be, instead of asking me how long the length should be. Nor did she give me the courtesy to ask how I style my hair regularly. She brought my hair from 4 inches to less than an inch scissor-cu across the top. I asked people with no filters what they thought of my hair. Brothers reaction: its not bad, its like dads. Our dad is bald with the colosack haircut . Barista initial reaction: "Omg no......." then she asked me 3 times what the name of the place is so she never goes there. Her eyes and face were in shock when saw my hair. Super cuts reaction: I had to go to super cuts to get the sides fixed because the barber there noticed another spot where she nicked the back of my head and long patches sticking from my sideburns. His response to the cut " You didnt pay for this did you" Dads reaction: " its short and puffy" Im a guy with thinning hair and she devasted my hair line so much that if I didnt know that a good barber can do. I would contemplate biccing my head. Girls be cautious who you work with and how comfortable you get while your there because you might lose more than you can bargain for and you might be waiting longer than the 3 months to have it grow back. Ask for recent pictures of their clients work. Do not take a random person. She literally gave me a 1 inch scissor cut all along the top. She decimated my bangs so bad that its impossible to style because the bangs are so short. *CAUTION. PICTURES BELOW* Seriously the worst haircut of my life. Its sad that her response was that its a short cut and she cant put the hair back. Followed by how her son looks sexy in short hair. Never once did she admit to what happened and how she never asked me how short she was going to cut the top of my head. Be very cautious, seriously just had all my hair cut off without my consent. The sad part is I showed a picture of me 2 months prior and she never asked to see the picture again after an initial 2sec glance....her response to me after reshowing the picture was, "how long ago was that picture?" and " your hair is browner" She messed my hair up so bad that she thinks the picture I showed her wasnt 2 months old. Worst service experience when it comes to hair styling. Before and after pictures of my bangs. The longer bang picture was taken 1 month ago.

5 /5 Heather Fleming: Erin is the BEST stylist ever. I always feel welcome and relaxed in her chair. She collaborates with you on what you want and sets realistic expectations for outcomes on your hair. Never have had a bad time. She always offers coffee when you arrive and that’s just another bonus for me. Wouldn’t trust anyone else with my hair. Thanks Erin!

5 /5 Maria Rios: Erin is the best hair dresser Ive been to! Absolutely love the outcome every time I go to her! I fully trust her with my hair. Never disappoints! Not only does she have the experience and skills with hair, but she is also a beautiful person inside and out! Totally recommend her!!

5 /5 Dynamic Flow Physical Therapy (Owner): I have been seeing Erin for a number of years for cut and color! She is so kind and talented. I was terrified to color my hair after saving it from cold capping after chemo treatment since it’s super fragile at that time and she was creative and supportative to come up with solution so I could feel like myself without damaging my hair as much. Now I’m back to my normal highlights and she does great job blending and allowing me to go months without needing to re-color- my goal! Highly recommend the salon as well which has great stylists and beautiful/clean salon located in midtown.
