Really great cut!

by Ingred at Citysearch

I'm the original Nervous Nellie when it comes to getting my hair cut by a new stylist and I've cried many tears over a bad cut. So you can imagine I wasn't the easiest client to be sitting in her chair. Jen did a fantastic job of putting me at ease, talked over what I wanted and delivered a perfect cut. I really couldn't be more pleased!

  • Pros: Spent time talking about what I wanted

professional yet fun, talented stylist

by michelle10686 at Citysearch

I had a great experience because of my stylist, Stacy South. She brought a great energy to the place, and I loved my hair cut and color. She made great suggestions and I trusted her, and, in the end, I was very happy I did. Usually I'm hesitant to try new things.

I could tell she's been doing it awhile. I found her on facebook bc I had a hair question, and she answered it thoroughly. Thanks Stacy.

I think the salon maybe could use some renovations, but I liked the location.

The best hair I've ever had

by omsk99 at Citysearch

I have been going to The Cut Salon for a few years now, after having read great reviews on Citysearch. I have never received so many compliments on my hair (on both color & style) as after I started going there, and I can honestly say that this is the best color & cut I have ever had - thanks to Sarah, she's the best!! I wouldn't go anywhere else now (and I've tried very expensive salons in the past, and was often very dissatisfied and disappointed). The prices here are very reasonable, service is great and atmosphere is very friendly and relaxed, not to mention the skills of the stylists! I very, very highly recommend it.

  • Pros: friendly relaxed atmosphere, great prices and great results
  • Cons: None
