this is the first review I have ever bothered to write in my life, and I wish negative-five-stars was an option,... that this place is still in business is appalling:
i first went there when they opened a few years ago because it was cheap and around the corner- the owner irene gave me two ok haircuts, but after the 2nd haircut she told me, "it takes too long to cut your hair, so next time you have to see one of my assistants". When i came back and saw said assistant, it was as though my 1yo toddler had cut my hair. After he had so grotesquely destroyed my hair beyond repair, he somewhat acknowledged his debaucle and said, "maybe my colleague can fix it up a bit"- needless to say that just made it even shorter, and i walked out looking more frightful than you can imagine. 4 years later i thought I `d give Irene another try since it`s so conveniently located and i`m so short on time. She asked what I wanted and i explained very simply in about 10 words. She responded, "i don`t understand. i can`t do that". So i explained again using even fewer words, "layers, and inch off the bottom, shorter layers in the back"- again she responded, "what? i don`t understand. I can`t do that". she persisted for a while that she "couldn`t do that", because she wasn`t "feeling it", that she "only gives traditional hair cuts", and finally she suggested again, "you should let my assistant do it"!!. At this point she was the last person I trusted to cut my hair, so I got my jacket to leave. She again tried, "you should let my assistant cut your hair", at which point I finally recounted to her the debaucle from 4 years ago, and explained I wanted my hair cut by her and had an appointment with her, and that I was quite surprised she`d push away business like that (the place was completely empty)- she continued, "she gives great haircuts," so I asked, "you`re the owner of the salon, but you`re telling me she gives better haircuts than you do??....", and finally I walked out. This business is clearly a hobby for her, as there`s no possibility that it`s financially sustainable with their limited abilities and Irene`s consistently obnoxious behavior,...
