Should have just bought a $130 of Sun In..
It really bums me out to write a negative review. I was hoping to get my hair done here of my wedding in a few months. This experience is making me question that :(
This was my second time at Mousey Brown. The first visit was great. Kristy gave me a great cut and style. But my second visit was a huge disappointment. I was having my hair lightened by way of baylayage, which is just a fancy french word for highlighting using a brush. She was fine with the technique but I should have just bought a $130 bottle of Sun In.
Everything was okay till she rinsed out my hair. The she went to the color station and brought back some bleach. She "lightened up my base" without telling me in attempt to fix something she had done. She didn't say a word about having any problem with my hair. I gave her until my hair was dry to say something. I told her it looked orange. She took me outside. It was still very orange. She added some toner that didn't do much. I'm happy with the blondness of my actual highlights, but my orange base is unforgivable. I'm sorry Kristy. I love Mousey Brown but I'm going to have to go with someone else next time.…
Do not see Jen.. Bottom line - I could have a done a better job bleaching and cutting my hair with a pair of horse hooves and a bottle of grape juice.
Citysearch Editorial Review. Homey, cozy Mousey Brown is the mom-and-pop of hair salons. Within the narrow, vaguely vintage space, customers peer out the window at McCarren Park while awaiting service. The staff, as relaxed as the clientele, includes one receptionist and a handful of deft stylists who double as colorists. There are no junior staffers or assistants on-hand, which means you get the full attention of senior hair care professionals from wash to blow dry. Committed to providing clients with exactly what they want, stylists encourage customers to show up with magazine cutouts and to describe in detail the type of cut (texture, length, celebrity look alike) they desire. So whether you crave a chic new do or a classic cut, be prepared to be specific.…
Great cut, great color, great service!. I had a bad experience at the last salon and was nervous to try another. A friend recommended Mousey Brown and I've been twice now. I e-mailed Meredith for a consultation and she recommended Rita. Rita is down-to-earth, thoughtful, and understood what I wanted right away. When I got home, my boyfriend was all about my new style- he called me his 'new girlfriend'. This time I felt brave enough to get a some color done. I'm totally in love with the depth of color and the easy style. She made my hairstyle & color match my personality. I can't wait until my boyfriend sees me tonight!…
Meredith is an alchemist of corrective color. Meredith took my medium reddish-brown hair, with its layers and layers of dye in various shades of brown, red, and lame attempts at blonde, from several years of do-it-myself home coloring, and fixed it all up so that it is now a gorgeous shade of creamy, sandy, shiny blonde - the exact shade it was when I was a little girl. There are these super-shiny highlights just from the color she used! I didn't think it was possible. I had these persistent red highlights cropping up again and again, no matter what I did, and the thought of bleaching it out had always terrified me. But I finally got up the guts to do it, and Meredith was the only one I trusted with it. She's been cutting my hair for quite some time and she's always been very honest with me when it comes to what my hair will and won't do, and any maintenance involved in something. So I knew she'd advise me against this if it wasn't a good idea for me. Well, she did it. And I was surprised at how really well it all went... she got the color to come up beautifully in only 2 steps, and in just under 3 hours. I am THRILLED!!…
