I went here yesterday to get my hair done for a wedding. The whole wedding party went. The bride looked wonderful but my hair was a complete and total DISASTER. (So bad that I plan on writing them for a refund). It took the stylist TWO HOURS to curl my hair (I have normal shoulder-length, thin hair). I wanted a simple side ponytail with a bit of height around the face (so the hair wouldnt lay flat on my head) and a bit of interest in the back where it would be tied with some natural looking curls. I brought two photos with me to show what I wanted. After the hours of curling and having to correct the stylist's poor technique - which left creases all along my head where the iron started - she attempted to pin my hair into a ponytail. It immediately began falling apart. She retried the ponytail and attempted to make it look 'natural' which ended up looking like an awkward mess. She used so much hair spray that my hair was literally wet - when it dried, it was gummy and white. I told her it wouldn't hold and that she should have teased the underside of the hair near my face to give it volume. She argued with me saying I had requested 'no height'. I never said that. She then teased it slightly and retried the ponytail which looked awful at this point. I just took it down and said to do something else (like pin the top of my hair back in a half-up half-down style). She argued with me again saying I didn't let her curl the hair right and that I said I didn't want any height, even though I JUST told her to add height or it would look bad. She then argued with me several more times trying to convince me to pick a new hairstyle out of a book or 'trust her' to do something nice and wouldn't just pin my hair where I held it. She finally did and put a haphazard 'curl' (flat loop of hair) over the pins, which didn't even cover them. At this point it had been 2.5 hours and we were late to the ceremony site. She then charged me $65 for awfully curled hair that was barely pinned right. At the same time, another bridesmaid had asked for a small trim of her bangs and although she specifically said she did not want a dry trim, they convinced her to let them do it. Sure enough, they completely messed up her bangs and she was an additional 30 minutes late to the church. (We had to leave her at the salon because they were taking so long.). I would recommend running as fast and as far as possible from this place and finding people who actually offer the service of 'updo' (and at that rate, a 'good haircut'). Stay away if you value good technique and fair prices.
I am posting this review in as many places as possible so that no one has to experience what I did!
