On my first and only visit I had Joseph as a stylist. He is a weirdo. He talked about strange…read morethings and offended me multiple times. He did do a decent color job but he didn't wash all the color out of my hair. There was still color at the base of my neck! How does someone do that!!!! He didn't cut my hair the way I asked him, he cut 4 inches off when I asked for a trim. Go somewhere else!!!

I would give less than a 1 if allowed. I have NEVER had an experience like I had there. I do not…read moreremember her name but she was large, reddish brown hair, 80's style cut and curl, approx. mid 30's. Anyhow --- I told her what I was looking for and being that this was a first visit sometimes it takes a bit more to communicate with a new hairdresser - until you know each other better. So she cut it and I asked her if it could be a bit shorter and told her what I was looking for. She seemed a bit offended, which I tried to diffuse by saying something along the lines of "oh no it looks really good, I just want it a bit shorter and maybe I didn't communicate that very well to you -- sorry." So I assumed responsibility and even gave an apology to try to put her at ease. In hind sight, I see that was not my job. So she just started literally hacking away! I was stunned. When she stopped I saw a HUGE chunk out of the side of my head. It went straight across. I asked her if she could point cut it to blend it in. Instead she went over it with thinning scissors -- that did not hide the chunk. So I again asked her if she could use scissors to break up the line in the chunk. She said that if she did she would just "make a disaster" of my hair. Really - who says that! So I told her not to proceed, since she would make a disaster and I did not want that, but before I could do anything she was in hacking my hair! Again I was stunned and I wanted to stop i,t but I was in disbelief. When she did stop, my hair was so hacked. I just told her that it was fine and I left and had it fixed elsewhere. There was no rhyme or reason to her madness. One side was shorter than the other by more than 1/2 inch. Then the layers just ended and the back was left long. There was another large chunk out of the other side of my head. It was an absolute mess. I have never seen anything like it and I have had a few bad haircuts in my day, but not this bad and at least the hairdresser was nice. The rudeness of this woman was above and beyond what I could have ever imagined. She could have given me the best cut ever and not charged me and I would never, never go to her again. I would cut it myself before that. HORRIBLE CUT, VERY OBNOXIOUS, CRAZY, AVOID THIS RUDE RUDE PLACE!!!!
