Hi, I went to the salon in Claremont today for a hair cut. I was greeted very politely and was squeezed in, even without an appointment. My appointment was going quite well until I was offered something to drink. I chose a coffee, which never arrived... The girl who cut my hair was lovely and sweet and continued to offer me extra treatments which I kindly declined. Upon the completion of the main part of my haircut (i was trimming my hair and also my fringe, which she had not yet started), she began blow-drying my hair. I got a bit worried because as a student I know anything extra like a blow-dry is usually an additional cost so I asked her whether it was included in the price or I would be paying extra (bear in mind I stated multiple times I want NOTHING MORE THAN A HAIRCUT). She said it was included and continued to blow dry my hair before continuing to cut my fringe which was strange to me, but I went along with it. When I went to pay and was told the bill I felt my heart stop. $150... for a haircut. A simple haircut with a shortening of my already there fringe. I understand the salon has a reputation but $150!?!?!?! With no student discounts?? This must be a joke. On top of that, my haircut was crooked. Everyone I had asked that day (family & friends) had told me that the right side of my hair was VISIBLY longer than the left. Now, if I'm paying $150 for a haircut it at least better be even!!
The girl who cut my hair isn't on the choices of stylists to review on this site, however, I would rather not publicly embarrass her online. She was a sweet girl but obviously had bad lighting or a bad angle, or possibly is not qualified enough.
I don't understand how you can charge $150 for a haircut and justify it... especially with poor results. While the girls were polite and kind, I wouldn't go back to the salon because of the price tag and the quality of the end product.
