Savannah Morse I normally never write reviews but this haircut experience was awful. I asked for an inch off the bottom, face framing pieces and a ton of layering. With extra emphasis on that I really needed a lot of layers for my curly hair.
I fully understand that they’re understaffed and being rushed but I purposefully came in the early afternoon on a weekday to try and avoid it as much as possible and not cause more stress.
I should have left the moment they ran a comb through my dry curly hair. It caused everything to frizz and they cut it that way, they didn’t dampen it to the point it would’ve made sense to even run a comb through it. The person who cut my hair rushed through it so poorly that I had to point out my hair cut was an uneven length in the front when they asked if I wanted anything else. There was little to no layering done, especially in the back. And I had to repeatedly ask for more layers. There was no true layering done anywhere I didn’t specifically point out and instead chunks of my hair were held up to the side and bluntly cut. Nothing was done to try and feather it out to look more natural. This hair cut somehow both makes my hair look like nothing was done and yet also worse? I now have large choppy layers in the front and very flat, with almost no layering, hair in the back.
While they were cutting my hair they were talking to a coworker about how ready they were to leave and while I don’t want to be callous about that, it did feel as though my hair cut was extremely rushed due to that.
When they finished my haircut, they sprayed it down with water and applied a huge gob of curl crème to my slightly damp hair. My hair was crunchy and sticky in patches for the rest of the day until I was able to wash it out. I would not recommend people with curly hair come here until the basics of cutting curly hair are communicated with the staff.
I don’t know if this was their first time or if they were exhausted from a long shift but I’m unemployed and was so happy to be able to afford a hair cut with my coupon just to feel absolutely screwed over with a haircut worse than what I went in with. Please speak with the individual who has a pixie cut, as this seems out of character for a hair stylist.
