Review from pete k.

I have curly hair. It does not respond well to "barbers" so once I entered the working world I had to suck it up and get a "real" haircut. At that time I lived around the corner from J. Stevens, and strolled in one day.
I setup an appointment with Jenny, and have been a loyal customer now for umm.. 6 years? Something like that. She does a good job on my unruly mess and is fun to chat with. Jonathan, the owner, always chimes in to keep things entertaining, as well.
Big thumbs up to these guys. -

I found this salon through Yelp and based on the ratings, gave it a chance and made an appointment. I called and the receptionist was pleasant, she asked if I wanted a blow-dry too (I'm used to getting my hair styled unless I insisted on wanting to walk out of there with wet hair and looking like a wet noodle).
When I walked in, no one really greeted me, I went to the receptionist and told her my name and she gave me a robe to put on and to sit in the waiting area. It was a really hot day and I wasn't offered a drink or anything, I just sat there and waited until my stylist came to get me.
I had Jenny as my stylist, I thought she was pleasant and honestly did give a good hair cut, just didn't really listen to what I wanted. I had really long hair and wanted about 6 inches off, she talked me into taking 10 inches off to donate to charity, so I went along with it and had her cut about a foot off...!
The hair cut I have is a bit shorter than I really wanted, but like I said, it was a good cut, just not what I wanted. Blow-dry (Styling) was not included so I didn't bother to opt for it. Like I've mentioned, most stylists that I've been to usually styled it for me without asking or paying extra, and they usually liked to check the hair and do a dry cut if necessary.
When Jenny was finished with the hair cut, she gave me my hair that she had cut off, and told me I needed to mail it in myself...why on earth do they do that? Most salons would've taken it and donated it on their behalf - Kind of tacky to give the client their hair and let them walk out of there with sopping hair.
I enjoyed the environment, but I think they need to step it up a notch when it comes to professionalism and customer service.
Also, they accept credit cards for the service, but not for tips because the reason is that the owner doesn't want to pay the % on tips, and he saved $$$ last year. Jenny also mentioned that clients have used them as an ATM (You can say no to clients who do that, can't you?). I had to drive over to a bank to withdraw some cash to tip her...just tacky. -

Jenny is my new best friend. She spent time with me before the cut to understand what I was looking for, she did a fantastic job, she had touch-bases throughout the cut on length and she advised me on color (said I could try a store-bought color and she would be happy to pick up the pieces). The salon is great.

Wow.
I'm not much of a hair person, but I'm super impressed. I love my new haircut!! I might really try to maintain this as an actual style! (I admit this would be a new concept for me...)
Jaime cut my hair and he was social and friendly while chopping away. I will definitely recommend him to others. The haircut was reasonably priced as well.Listed in: Alphabet Soup
