She did an amazing job on my daughter's hair. Box braids, cornrows, and weaves all turned out great.

Last week McKenna gave me the best haircut of my life. There's some magical technique she used that…read morehas made my curls look perfect every day, no matter the weather or what I've been doing. Everyone's noticed, and I've been getting a lot of compliments on it. I couldn't be happier.

This is one of the worst experiences I have had with a wax service. After my wax, I experienced…read morebruising and severe redness, which I've never had when going to other salons. I reached out to the salon directly to let them know what happened so it could be addressed and other's wouldn't have the same experience. The management blamed me the first time, and after I posted the review, she texted my private number and stated again that it was all because of the length of the hair. As you can see in the article screenshot, bruising is caused by poor technique. I've also had dozens of waxes at this point so I am well aware of how my skin reacts. Unfortunately, the service took 40 minutes and was also the most painful waxing I have experienced. The wax seemed like it was very difficult for the esthetician to remove. At one point, the esthetician used hard wax to remove more hard wax. Multiple times the stick got unstuck and she had to place another one on, or she just pulled too early. While the esthetician herself was a truly lovely person and a pleasure to talk to, I strongly advise not getting this service.

So, I needed a haircut as I was a god damned hippy. After several months, I finally decided to get…read morethe top cut off. I had been having Jen widen it as it was too narrow before, and now it's all one length, which is nice. Got in, got cut, got out. Went to the house to go shower and get all the little hairs off, and for the first time in months, put some product in my hair. So, I needed to stop and get some smokes for outside things, and I stop at the gas station right across the street. The girls working say something to the effect of "I love your hair, my son would love to have a cut like that". So, I reply "thanks, I just got it cut", and they are like "ohhh,fresh!" and I say, "yep, right across the street" and point to your place. Then they discuss wanting to go watch duck dynasty... for some reason.

I'm the sort of person that typically goes to a discount chain hair salon for his haircut: Borics,…read moreSupercuts, cost cutters, etc. I decided to give this local shop a try this time, and I'm not disappointed. The stylists that own and operate this place used to work at the Boric's in Urbana (next to the county market), and they are pretty good at what they do. I was surprised to see them in this place, since I knew they are both good at what they do. The difference, of course, is that here they don't have to pay the franchise fee, which could be as high as 60%! The result was that my stylist (Jenny, which I highly recommend her work) took her time and paid lots of attention to what she was doing to my hair, while I always felt rushed when going to Borics, super cuts, etc. with lots of machine cutting. They make a point to keep their prices the same as national chains, so an adult haircut is $13, which is very reasonable. They run coupons in local magazines and ads, and Jenny told me that they would even accept competitor coupons as long as it brings them business. One small point: It's better if you call and make an appointment. You can walk in of-course, but they give preference to people with appointments. I'll call in next time before I go there.
