Decent Cut, Casual Atmosphere, No pressure, good value haircut - Beauty on a budget

by lindathanh

This place is located in Belmont Shore and I was just a walk-in. I didn't even have an appointment. They took me in about 5 minutes. I recieved a fairly good haircut for a really good price. I wanted bangs, but the stylist/ owner advised me against it, which in the end was a really good idea.

They charge everything separately here. So my shampoo and cut was only $15 (and blow-dry and styling would have been extra). I have pretty long hair too so it was a really good value. She gave me a good trim and cleaned up my layers. I usually pay about $60 for the same cut elsewhere. I like the honesty of the salon since they don't pressure you into any services. I even asked about color suggestions. She said I didn't need any color and if I wanted I could come back for a color consultation with their color specilaist.

Everyone was very friendly. I would definitely go back. It's a really good deal if you want beauty on a budget.

• Pros: casual atmosphere, no pressure sales, sweet staff

I left the salon in tears- TERRIBLE

by foxxygnome

Service was HORRIBLE. My stylist was working on three clients at once, barely spoke to me before pouring dye on my hair. She charged me $95 for a simple all over color that was listed in their brochure as $55-$60. She gave no reason why my color (darker, not lighter on average, shoulder length hair) would be priced almost double what they have posted. The stylist proceeded to comb out my curly hair, then put gel in my hair which made it have that '80s crunchy look. This is the worst salon I have ever been to. They take on to many clients, provide no customer service and overcharge their customers. DON'T GO HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!

• Pros: none
• Cons: no customer service, incompetent staff, overcharging clients
