To give some honest feedback and hopefully help a future client-- While I really liked that this…read morelocation offers training opportunities for stylists in development, my recent appointment involving trainees had been challenging. There were 3 trainees involved the first did my hair wash and she absolutely killed it. Her scalp massage was on point and she was so friendly. Her name was Esmeralda I believe. As for the other two trainees, the manager or trainer had them do one side of my hair each. They both were super nervous and I can understand why but so was the girl who washed my hair and I am thinking they are a little bit intimidated by their manager? I will say the manager did seem like she wanted to be doing something other than training them. Anyway... Each time, they used the curling brushing, it caused noticeable pain, as though multiple strands of hair were being pulled out with every pass of the brush. This occurred consistently and left my head feeling so uncomfortable. I shed hair and I told the trainer and trainees this before they started in order to hopefully get them to know I don't want to lose more hair than I already do. I understand that trainees are still learning and that not every issue is their fault, but it might be worth reviewing the brushing techniques or adding more hands-on guidance during training to prevent this level of discomfort. The end result was fine but I wish there was a little more volume. The manager did give this one to me for free just because I was the only one who signed up for the new stylists promo but I would have had a real issue if I did end up getting charged for this. As a result, I'll probably only return if I can book directly with an experienced stylist. That said, I enjoy the salon atmosphere and services overall.

I've never received as many compliments as I have since I started seeing Kristy - well over a year…read moreago. I will never change and I will ALWAYS book in advance. First off, when I moved here from the midwest my hair underwent disaster after disaster as I tried to save a couple bucks and go to Chain-Hair salons. I finally saw this place with excellent reviews and decided that if Kristy could see me - I would give it a shot. I never imagined that I would recommend her services to all my friends and even the people I meet out and about. What's so great about the Shear Shack. Well Kristy for one, but as you've seen on other reviews, Chelsea now for reason number 2. They often overlap with each other so I feel confident in Chelsea's abilities/training and customer service since Kristy is there teaching her how she runs the Shack. So reason number 3 is all the compliments I get on my hair. Which translates into expertise and skill. These compliments range from the color (usually something in the reds but her crafty color skills are dazzling), the healthy shine, the bounce and volume, the realistic look...I could just keep going. Kristy takes the time to consider more than just what a client wants, but what is realistic. She discusses the pros and cons, and helps guide the client through the process. Kristy will advise the client on how to achieve the end result and maintain the integrity of the hair. #4 Cost - SUPER REASONABLE. You get what you pay for. So if you want a $15 haircut - your hair will probably look like you got a $15 hair cut. Kristy's prices sometimes surprise me in how reasonable they are. I like to touch up my roots (again, red is not the easiest color to maintain when your hair grows super fast) every three-four weeks. This would cost me a fortune at other salons, but Kristy keeps it super reasonable. In fact, her prices were one of the reasons I chose her. I've had whole color applications, high lights, low lights, cuts, styles, and loved what I paid every time. #5 Time and Respect. I've never waited more than ~10 minutes before for an appointment. Kristy books responsibly and holds her appointments. She is always there when she says she is. I know I can count on her keeping to our time so I don't miss a hot date later that night. Once, I even missed my appointment and she called and was able to reschedule me. I loved that she understood I had forgotten (one and time - I'm a woman of my word too) but still really needed my hair fixed up. Other stylists don't bother calling you but I love the text reminders/email reminders I get. I love that I can book online too. From my experience - she is great with kid cuts, weekly hair maintenance, men's cuts, women's everything. I could just keep going on and on but will let you find out for yourself!

Fade with a part to the side, little pomp in the front, and comb over. oh and LOTS OF GREASE!!!! This is barber shop stuff that local barber shops don't know how to do anymore! Kristy does it all.......... Instead of waiting forever to get butchered at some barbershop in the mall, swing by Kristy's place and get a cut that's quick, cheap, and high quality!! You can even book on the phone, email, or Facebook and not have to wait! She even sends email reminders for those forgetful soles (Me!).
