1 /5 Jenni Brown: I cannot speak for the other stylist in the salon, but I can speak of my experience with Tim Brasfield and the salon itself. Do yourself a HUGE favor and do not let Tim do anything with your hair! Prior to Saturday afternoon I had, key word is had, natural curly hair that was almost to my waistline. After a short amount of time in Tim’s chair, I now have chopped, “Rachel from Friends” (his words not mine for describing his trimming technique) short, layered, hideous hair. I get angry every time I look at it and there is nothing worse than hating how you look. It looks as if I took scissors that were not sharp, and without knowing a damn thing about cutting hair, cut my own hair. If I am being honest, it would probably look better!
I’m not sure how a trim went so wrong other than Tim clearly didn’t listen to his client. As a first-time client, I was a little put off that he didn’t remember my name at check in, he commented that he "was so glad I came in like I did". I came in straight from work with a messy bun. Tim claiming to be an expert stylist, used a comb initially on my hair, NEVER have I used a comb on my curls, after shampooing he wasn’t gentle about combing my hair for the second time. Tim raved about his use of European products, after he was sure to tell me that my shampoo and conditioner (Joico) choice is second tier, yet I can purchase his lavish European products on Amazon. Likely counterfeit.
I could go on, but I think you get the idea that this was an AWFUL experience. I must say in hindsight that my anxiety was spot on, and I am beyond REGRETFUL that I allowed this so-called stylist to do anything with my hair. And I use the word stylist very loosely. As for the salon of which he rents space, prepare yourself for the smell when you first walk in. It has a stench of cigarette/cigar smoke. I’m sure this is from the cigar bar next door but at any rate it is unpleasant. The salon decor is not as sophisticated as you might expect given the vibe that is trying to be conveyed. I will go as far as to say that it is somewhat juvenile with a Western Bohemian twist. Bottom line, between Tim Scissorhands and the salon being mediocre, I would definitely go someplace else.
