Upon arrival I was asked if perhaps 5:30 would be a better time for me. I told them that 5:15 was fine and that I had been delayed at work. My stylist informed me that my appointment was for 5 - told her since I got off work at 5 I would never schedule for that time. (I have their appointment card on my desk - been looking at it for 6 weeks and it clearly says 5:15) When she cut my hair she was obviously in a hurry. (As she started a friend of hers arrived and had to wait for her to finish, then they raced out the door.) Did not give me the style I asked for. Barely trimmed my hair, used no styling product except for some over-priced version of FrizzEase (not even hairspray!), blew out my hair and left. When I asked her to trim more off the top of my hair she got snippy (no pun) about it, snatching up her scissors and clipping away making sure to get as much hair as possible in my face. She also argued with me about the trim telling me that it as longer because she blew the curl out. I paid $40 plus a tip for this and she definitely did not deserve the tip. I paid for a cut & style and I got a trim. Definitely was oversharged. I could have gotten a better cut at a super cheap, you get what you pay for, type chain salon. My hair looked good until I stepped outside the salon. As soon as the wind hit it what little style there was disappeared and it flattened. She did not cut enough off my hair and as a result it flattens out. I am not supposed to be able to make a mini ponytail with the back of my hair. When I was there last month she took her time and actually styled my hair, used products to make it look good when she blew it out and took pride in her work. Guess I got in her way last night. Once they fix this tragedy I will have to look for another salon - I definitely won't be able to go back because she'll likely scalp me.

OK, ranting over. Thanks for letting me vent.
When you go back, I wouldn't let her cut it. That's what management is for. I had this happen too. I finally found a stylist I thought did an okay job with my hair and she did...two times previously...then on what turned out to be her last day...she did a piss poor, suck ass job.

She was distracted and kept getting interrupted and I didn't have the balls at the time to say "I want a stylist. I am paying for a stylist. If you are not going to act like a stylist, then I want another one. Now."

I wouldn't have that problem today.
