Cool salon but after too many bad haircuts I called it quits
by slopetc at Citysearch
I have medium length curly/wavy hair and usually go in just asking for a trim. I saw Mari for my first cut and it was OK. Then I saw Jessica who gave me a great haircut the first time I saw her. The 2nd one, was another OK, but the first one was good enough that I went back; to get one of the worst haircuts ever. I walked out of there feeling like I looked like a homeless woman that didn't know how to comb her hair. I could not believe a stylist would let someone walk out of your salon as your 'advertisement' looking like that. I pulled my hoodie up and went home to see if i could make it look better. The verdict - not really. And it was cut in such a way that a corrective cut probably would've been worse. I had to buy new product to get my hair to look anything presentable. I had given her license on that cut - wanting to shorten my hair a bit. What a mess that turned out to be. When I finally could not take it anymore, I cut my hair myself, something I have NEVER done before and felt so much better immediately. If you can believe it, even after that I went back again - to Jessica - and got a good cut! So, I went back what would end up being my final time. The haircut seemed to be going well when she pulled out the thinning shears (I have extremely fine hair - it is not thick & I'm pretty sure it does not need thinned) and then she twisted my hair into locks and cut up the shafts - totally wrecking any chance for my curls to keep their shape. Furthermore - she cut one layer really short & left the other one long - so I had this two-tiered cut that I couldn't pull back and would not look good unless I was straight out of the shower, if I was lucky. So yeah, that was it! I like the place and the vibe but I guess unless you can really speak up and tell your stylist exactly what you want or don't want (I'm not great at that obviously), I wouldn't recommend this spot. Plus the cash only pay is burdensome.
- Pros: cool vibe, easy to get an appointment
- Cons: stylists didn't work out for me

DEDICATED TO NATASHA
by chloeloves at Citysearch
First time to citysearch here, but I felt compelled to review my hair cut & color, it is absolutely amazing! I'm a customer who comes regularly from from another state just to get my hair done at this salon. Natasha does an AMAZING job with my color and cut. I've been many shades of blonde for many years, and a lot of times I haven't been too happy. Natasha has managed to give me such a wonderful natural color, with lots of beautiful highlights! I'm often asked who does my hair. I owe it all to Natasha! Give her a try you won't be disappointed, but good luck getting an appointment she only works the weekends!
- Pros: SHE IS ALWAYS ON TIME
- Cons: HARD TO FIND PARKING

Bad Cut-Good Color
by radzis at Citysearch
The star rating applies to the hair cut, not the salon in general. I had my hair cut a week or so ago by Jessica Rose. I wanted a trim, but I ended up with a badly layered, choppy cut which will take a good 3-6 months to grow out. For some reason, she also used thinning shears on my hair, which only made things worse. Maybe she was having a bad day, but I was left with one of the worst cuts I've had in years.
- Pros: Decent price
- Cons: Badly layered cut
