I got my haircut by Kenya Renee at this salon on New Years Eve. I have never written a negative…read morereview about a haircut however I am so upset about how it turned out. I booked a regular cut and the stylist pressured me into a curly cut ($85 vs $135) despite me saying that I didn't think that would work well for my hair as my hair texture is waves/loose curls. I wouldn't have minded paying more if it was a good cut but the cut is nothing like what I requested and is an uneven mess. My hair is way shorter than I wanted and is so stressful to style. When my initial reaction to the cut was that it was very short, the stylist got upset and said I asked for a short cut (if you look at the inspiration photo you can see how much shorter mine turned out). I pointed out the uneveness and she said it was because of my hair being tighter curls on one side, which I told her wasn't the case. She also told me that I don't need products with hold after I shared that I'm struggling with finding products that give me enough hold, and said how she styled my hair was proof- as is obvious in the picture my hair was completely flat and a mess. I'm not a confrontational person so at that point I just wanted to get out of the salon. The stylist had positive reviews so my only guess is that she wasn't experienced with my hair type. I have since tried styling multiple ways including blowing out my hair and it is obvious how uneven it is; it's so embarrassing that I had to trim some of the most noticeable pieces myself. I work in a school and have had kids saying all day long "why did you cut off all your hair!" and I have to smile and pretend I chose this. I'm pretty easy going about my hair, but this has been so upsetting and stressful.

The guy talks the whole time instead of paying attention to what he is doing. 0/10. Update: The owner of the shop has reached out to me and advised the haircut was uneven because my hair is thin/ I am balding. Regardless if this is true or not, he believes that cutting the hairs shorter would help me in this situation? I think we can all agree that is not how to help hide a balding head, you would leave them longer and style them to cover the spot. The truth is that he messed up the haircut and won't own up to it. I won't go back and I recommend you don't either.
