1 /5 Christina Dewey: I was looking for a new hair stylist, it has literally been over a year since I had done anything with my hair. Pregnancy and a new baby have been really hard. So, to treat myself for mothers day I decided to get my hair done, and decided to try this salon based on the amazing reviews. Apparently reviews are not accurate these days. I was scheduled to see Alissa. They got me in quickly, they were so nice over the phone, I was so excited. The first picture was the one I showed Alissa, the curled one is what I left the salon with, then the others are the full effect after I straightened it.
I went in to have a color assessment, and a cut. I am super low maintenance, so I wanted something I could pull up into a ponytail but also change the color so it was not so mousy brown. The stylist talked with me about washes, but not much about color. But I had a lovely head massage while my hair got washed, showed the stylist a picture of what I wanted, and she started cutting.
When she was done my hair felt heavy from all the product on it, and it looked worse than what I walked in with. I did not want to be rude, so said nothing, my mistake. But was it a mistake because how would the.person who ruined your hair "fix" it? Trying to be positive I thought oh well, at least the dead ends are gone. Little did I know. I tipped well, the total came to $70, because that is just what I believe in doing, period. In reality maybe this deserved no tip, or no charge as my hair is now what it is.
I went home, my husbands face said it all. I started laughing, because if I didnt I would cry. And I went and looked in the mirror. The ends are not even at all, it actually is at downward angle in the back. It looked like she started giving me layers then gave up part way through. I straightened it to see if that helped, it looked even worse, and by the end of the night it was a grease pit from all the product. I have fine, thin hair. I know it is not going to look like the picture, and I know I would need to get it colored for it to not be mouse brown, but having uneven hair, that does not have any resemblance to the picture is very strange.
Everyone has had a bad haircut, we all laugh about them. To date, this is the worst cut I have ever had. Thank goodness I did not try color, who knows what I would have ended up with. The only good thing is she left it long so I can leave it in a ponytail until I can go get it fixed somewhere else. At the end of the day, if I handed my 3 yr old some scissors, I think he could have done a better job. Happy mothers day to me.
