    Eyebrow threading
    Leah M.

    Came here to get my eyebrows threaded (I usualy don't get them threaded because I feel they come out thinner than waxing) Despite the fact, they came out absolutely beautiful! I keep getting compliments on them. This will definitely be my go to place now.

    I liked Anita, the owner, and I wanted to like this salon. That said, I am very unhappy with my hair experience. I think this spa is probably best for other treatments or very simple/straightforward hair changes. I was platinum blonde earlier in the year and I have been trying to blend my natural color to the ends and blend the blonde up towards the root. So, think highlights and lowlights. I have been coming to this salon for hair services since earlier this year. Their services are cheaper than most of the Aveda salons in the area, and they are right nearby my house so I thought this would be a good, convenient solution. In July I had a service with Anita (low lights) but my hair was still not blended enough (still very visible difference between the top and the bottom of my hair) after she finished so I came back for more low lights. The way she did this though (density of lowlights) my hair then became much too dark. I didn't say anything because I liked Anita, and I didn't want to trouble her. And I thought my hair would lighten up over time, which it did. Not the best hair experience, but not the worst either. It was okay. Early November I came in for more highlights. I probably should have gone somewhere else since my first experience was only okay but I was hopeful this time would be better. My hair was still too dark from July and a fair amount of new growth had happened. I wanted to be highlighted blonde throughout. This time, she lifted my hair naturally through the root because she didn't want to damage my hair but it didn't lift very much and I couldn't see much of a change in my hair color after she finished. It still looked very dark through the top and sides and I continued to have what looked like an ombre not a full blonde highlight. I let it go. I tried to like it. But over the course of the month it bothered me more and more. This was not what I wanted. So, I came back a month later (first week in December) for more highlights throughout. I had tried to come the week earlier but had had a scheduling issue. I decided to get a mini partial highlight this time so I could increase the blonde highlights not knowing really knowing what that service was, but feeling like the $220 I spent the first time and $70 this time was plenty enough money to spend, not including tipping. I am sorry I left the salon without seeing my hair fully dry. Anita took pictures and a video of the top of my hair while it was still somewhat wet. It looked good on top/damp. But, then I went home and dried my hair and pulled it back and realized that when my hair looked like a blonde toupee because all of the blonde was right down the center of my head at a high density (and more highlights were put on one side of hair than the other). In addition there was a thick patch of blonde right in the front that was not blended in with a harsh line above the root. Also, the blondes were not toned to match each other. The blonde was warm at the top but the blonde at the bottom was still cool. I wanted a warm blonde highlight throughout. In general, Anita puts too many high/low lights in your hair so that you are either very light or too dark, and I think this is a technique problem. Also, Anita may do what you ask, but don't expect that she will be able to provide advice or direction about your hair. She didn't explain to me what a mini partial was, warn me that this was what it was going to look like (stripe of blonde down the middle), or explain that my hair was going to have two different blondes in it if I wanted to be warmer blonde. She should have said if you want to be blonde throughout (and we did look at a couple pictures) you need a pay for a full highlight, which would have been a repeat of the service I had earlier in the month. Had she said that, honestly, I probably would have walked out, and I think she knew that, so she took the money for the mini partial because it was an opportunity for her to make more money. I think instinctively she must have known the mini partial was not going to achieve the look I wanted, which is why I am angry and why I feel cheated and why I am writing this review now. Although Anita offered to add in a few more highlights for free and to put low lights where there is a patch of blonde at the top, instead, I asked for my money back on the recent service so that I could go somewhere else. She would not agree to do that, even though I now have to go get my hair fixed at another salon. When I add up the services as this other salon and Anita's salon I will have spent about $500 on my hair in about a month, not to mention, expending a fair amount of my personal time. As they say, you get what you pay for. Why can't I learn this simple lesson?

    I told Anita that I wanted a wash and wear haircut -- no styling.

    Thazar is located in Inman Square and are the perfect place to get a haircut. My go-to hairstylist…read moreis George, who I believe is also the owner. He does a great job bringing my vision for my hair to life. During the haircut, he's so affirming friendly, and great to talk to. The price of a haircut here is super reasonable, which is one of the reasons I love this place. The interior is very cute, and they're always playing great music. One thing to note: if you make an appointment online, you'll need to put your card down. Check them out if you find yourself in the Inman Square area!

    Kills me to write this review since I really want to support local businesses but I got the worst…read morehaircut of my life here. I booked a haircut with George and for whatever reason he decided that he didn't want to cut my hair. He asked Frankie to do it. There was literally no one there. I said sure whatever. I just had a baby. All I want is a haircut and get out of there. First of all it took 2 hours instead of the 1 he quoted. He blew dry my hair and he was super rough and he burnt my scalp. I asked for bangs and he literally grabbed a chunk of my hair and cut it short: At that point I was really annoyed since I told the babysitter an hour and I was an hour late already. George had to come in a fix his shitty bangs. Finally done and I left. I was so tired that I didn't really check but when I got home I realized that it was superrrr uneven. I tie my hair up and you can visibly see how uneven it was. I had to grow my hair out to get it fixed. I had to wear it up for a few months just to hide how bad my haircut was. Went to another place yesterday and the stylist confirmed it how uneven it was. I think the worst thing was George (believe he's the owner) checked my hair to make sure it was even and he said it was!! Very disappointed in this place since I wanted this to be my go-to place.
