3 reviews for Fantastic Sams
I know that alot of people are picky about who cuts their hair and how it is cut. Admittedly I'm not quite as picky. Yeah, I'm your once a month Supercuts customer. Or at least I was. I was in a rush to go somewhere and I wanted to get my hair cut, and someone told me about Fantastic Sams in El Segundo. I had never heard of the place, "yeah, it's like supercuts" is what I was told.
I went down, and my impression is that it's an upscale supercuts. I walked in, paid for a haircut, the lady offered to wash my hair for free, which is something they never offered at supercuts. Then offered suggestions on alternative ways to cut my hair-something supercuts never offered. Then offered suggestions on shampoos and gels etc-something supercuts does once in a while.
So anyway, i think this is an upscale supercuts-and i've since switched to them.
Got my hair cut by Curtis. Probably the best hair cut I got. My hair is very thin and fine, and Curtis gave me some tips on how to make it better. Sure enough, it already looks great and I am never using Gel again. I came to this Fantastic Sams because my other place never cut my hair short enough. Curtis spent more than 15 seconds washing my hair which is something the other place never did. Curtis actually had some style and helped me style my hair, which is something my other place never did. Curtis cut my hair SHORT like I asked him to do, and he listened. Funny, energetic, and seemed happy to do what he is doing.
Atmosphere looks upscale compared to my other place, and is 2 bucks cheaper!
I am going to start at the beginning. When I walked in the door. One Star is all this Fantastic Sams would get if my review stopped there. The girl at the desk did not even look up as I approached- further more, I stood there for about two minutes, without hearing one word from her or even a nod to show that she knew I was standing ten inches away. This is one of my biggest pet peeves. I work in customer service, and it always sticks with my when the first person you see at a business is rude. Eventually, I said hello. No hello back, just "what's your phone number?" what?! ok, so i gave it to her and she walked away. Another lady came to help me, and took me to the chair. I was in a rush to get my hair blow dried and curled for a party (this is the only reason I didn't walk out after the first lady). Anyways, things got much better. The lady who did my hair was so friendly and helpful. I have long, thick hair, so curls ususally fall out even before I get to my car, but it stayed great all night!! She quoted me some prices for highlights, and I'm considering trying her out in the future (although I do admit, I'm a little nervous due to a past experience at another place). once i got past that rude girl, it was ok.
