what the heck????

by columbiant at Citysearch

really really AWFUL experience....had my hair cut by a perfectly sweet girl who seemed to put it a lot of care and effort into a haircut that looked, when finished, like i had pulled it into a ponytail and hacked it straight across. seriously, my friends though that i had spontaneously just hacked it all off myself. i left with it wet and couldn't tell the full measure of how bad it was till it was dry, so i called back and said i was unhappy with it. the girl who cut it for me was a total sweetheart and offered to redo it and get this...THE OWNER WOULD NOT LET HER. can you believe that? do not get your hair cut here.

HORRIFYINGLY BAD HAIRCUT

by beanmez at Citysearch

Not everybody knows how to cut curly hair. IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW, DON'T PRETEND YOU DO TO KEEP MY BUSINESS, DON'T DO IT!!!!! my stylist put a great amount of time and effort and care into a hair cut that looks essentially as if somebody chopped my hair straight across a few inches below the shoulders, giving me the embodiment of the bad stereotype of curly hair cut in a TRIANGLE. Straight lines out and across. All this while assuring me that she was taking only a few inches off (she took 6, 8 with shrinkage) and taking great care and using techniques to avoid the triangle effect. I am not a demanding client. I was trying to help her out with her trial cut and said "use your artistic license with the layers and angles, just please do not cut more than 3 inches and PLEASE DO NOT GIVE ME TRIANGLE HEAD which is EXACTLY WHAT SHE DID.

DO NOT GO TO THIS SALON.

• Pros: perfectly friendly
• Cons: while giving me a haircut whose first response by peers was "oh gosh, can they fix it?"

shockingly bad haircut

by shemerlist at Citysearch

I went to Salon Luna to the "short haircut" guy because I wanted to have my long hair cut very short. The cut I got did not suit me at all, and was not what we had talked about. I tried styling it different ways, but eventually went back to have it fixed. It looked a little better, but the cut is noticeably uneven. I didn't feel that the stylist was really focussing on what he was doing. I would like to find a hairdresser who treats this job as an art and who is confident in his or her ablilities.

• Pros: lovely salon, free tea/coffee and snacks
• Cons: the haircut
