I got an appointment with Deanna and I was kind of nervous because my previous haircut was a disaster. But she was amazing!

She explained what she was doing while doing so... Ten minutes into my haircut I knew I was in great hands. The thing is this place might not look like much. But the atmosphere, the talent and the people make this place awesome!

If you go, ask for Deanna! She is amazing! She listened to everything I had to say, she walked me through what she was doing and why, and she gave me the best haircut I've had in a long time! She told me that she's had clients follow her all over town, from salon to salon, and now I know why. Before I went to Deanna, I had an awful haircut. I have long, thick, blonde hair. When another stylist screwed it up, it was like you could see step or shelves it my hair. It was so ugly that it made me cry. But on a whim, I walked into Hair We Are and it was Deanna who fixed my hair and restored my confidence. I'm going to continue seeing her for haircuts, and I will follow her to whatever salon she decides to work for. If you're looking for a new, affordable, and skilled hairstylist, book your next appointment with Deanna! You won't regret it!

Disappointing experience…read more. Came in excited after seeing great curly cut results on my mom and niece. I paid $130 and left with barely a trim..no real shape or noticeable difference. I didn't speak up during the cut, as the stylist's tone made it very uncomfortable to do so. When I asked questions or suggested changes.. she went from using her very animated customer service voice (which was also uncomfortable....) to using a sarcastic and condescending voice with an irritated look on her face.. (Noya was my stylist) After going home and styling my hair myself.. I was really dissatisfied and decided to reach back out.. the receptionist was kind and helpful, I was told I'd get a phone call THAT DAY as well as a follow up text to rebook with the same stylist. well.. I didn't get the call but did get the text the NEXT DAY.. so i decided to just go elsewhere. Paid $25 at another salon and got exactly what I wanted. I'm sure it works for some, but for me, $130 for a trim vs. $25 for a great cut says everything. Culture club is a no for me.. they're #1 to pop up on google when you search "curly cut abq" but someone who cares about their clients satisfaction is much more fulfilling of an experience vs going somewhere simply for the hype.

So I'm warning you, this is a long one. I wondered for a long time whether or not I should post…read more(especially seeing as she has so many outstanding reviews), and whether I was taking my experience too personally. Here goes.. I went in over the summer for a balayage and cut, I had just finished my first semester of grad school here and it was meant to be somewhat of a treat to myself. I had Melissa do my hair and she seemed friendly and considerate at first. Positives: The cut was fine and the dye job wasn't awful. Negatives: I had barely been sat down in the chair for 10 min when Melissa exclaimed 'wow your hair is soooo thin!' ok so this threw me off guard a little bit.. For one, my hair isn't exactly super thick, but it also isn't super thin either and besides that, I would think a hairdresser would know better than to make those kinds of comments. But ok, moving on, I chalked it up to insensitivity. Strike 2, we were chatting and she asked me 'where are you from', 'England!', 'oh but ethnically?' 'ahh my dad is iranian' 'ahhh! so thats where the thin hair comes from'. I kid you not, her words exactly. Who says that??? Way to make me feel like shit about myself. Third strike comes in the form of 'you have grad student hair, what happens is grad students don't eat properly, and they're stresses and then their hair starts to fall out'. Ok cool. At this point I have no choice but to put on a smile because I'm stuck in this chair for a good 2 hours or so. So the fourth strike comes when shes washing my hair and exclaims 'your hair feels nasty!' I'm literally gobsmacked and mumble something about 'It's probably product buildup..' she starts going on about how its from dying my hair too much and how hair dye strips the hair - guys, I haven't dyed my hair in 4 years and I say so, instead of accepting that I would know if I'd dyed my hair she replies with 'hmmmm are you sure, because hair dye causes damage like this..'.................................... Honestly at this point I'm on the verge of tears but holding it together. I've lost count of the strikes. Then comes the so called balayage. It wasn't what I wanted - didn't look faded in, she did such fine layers that it ended up looking like a weird blob of colour. Perhaps this was my fault and I should have been more clear, well at one point I said to her 'I know you know what you're doing but could you do the layers a little bit thicker but less of them' she gave me this look as if to say 'I know what I'm doing' and just said nothing. I've attached a picture of my hair that I took immediately after getting it done. This is just my personal experience but I would not recommend this place. There are much more talented hairdressers in town.

And I kept stopping her during the cut to make sure she wasn't taking too much off the back (she took off 4 inches off the overall length when I asked for an undercut ).
