I went in to get a haircut 6 days before my wedding with Derek. I had never been in before, and he treated me very well. Not only was his advice on what length/style I should have for my hair, he also started talking to me about my wedding updo. I was getting married in NH and had given up on finding a stylist to do my hair the way I wanted it. Derek actually described the exact look I was going for without even asking, and then miraculously offered to come up to NH to do my hair the next weekend. When I went in for the trial, he stayed extra late to make sure it was the way I wanted it. My hair turned out absolutely gorgeous for the wedding. I haven't had much experience with the other stylists there, but Derek definitely went well above and beyond! When we were running out of time to get to the ceremony, his work didn't suffer, either. He is an exceptional stylist, and the salon itself is a great environment with many other friendly faces to greet you.
Pros: great haircut for a bargain price, service above what's expected
Cons: parking is difficult

I had read a number of great reviews for Darlene, and she came highly recommended for curly hair (although I straighten mine), so when I scheduled my appointment I was excited to try a new hairstylist. Well, I must say that I was very disappointed--right from the start, Darlene made a few semi-rude comments about my hair (ie, I came in with my hair straight, and after it was shampooed and she saw how thick and wavy my hair is, she said "this should be fun," followed by "just joking." I don't think she was joking). Also because I chemically straighten my hair, she said as she was drying it, "oh, I expected it to be like horse hair, but it isn't." A compliment? Maybe. I also explained to her that although I know my ends are damaged (I had also just chemically straightened it a few days before which always leaves my ends REALLY dry, which is why I was getting my hair cut) that I am growing out my hair and only wanted a trim. She made her own decision about the length and told me AFTER she cut my hair that she cut an inch and a half off. This is not what I asked for. I found Darlene to be moderately friendly, but kind of harsh and a bit rude, and I'm happy that I didn't make any stops on my way home because I hadn't looked closely in a mirror before I left the salon--my face was covered in hair, as she hadn't bothered to brush it off. Maybe she was having a bad day, because so many of her other reviews are great, but I will not go back to her because I am really disappointed in my haircut, and did not like her customer service.
