Salon Texture

Been using Yuki for about 3 years now…
It started as just me getting haircuts, but now she cuts my kids (6 – 9 y. o) and father-​in-​laws hair too…
Always walk out of there happy… which is key, because before that I was flying out of state to get my haircut

I needed a trim and found Salon Texture on Unilocal.I was a bit hesitant after reading some of the «Edward Scissorhands» comments on here but at the recommendation of a friend, I decided to give Yuki a try, and I’m so glad I did!
I made an appointment for a Wednesday at noon and it was not busy at all, I had the undivided attention of Yuki as well as her assistant, who was very friendly and cheerful. After explaining to Yuki that I wanted no more than an inch taken off, she proceeded to work her magic for about 30 minutes and gave me exactly what I wanted — which was a trim that was NOT too short and cleaning up the bangs that I am trying to grow out. She also added layers and more texture to my fine limpy Asian hair. What I also really liked about Yuki is that she cuts hair dry, instead of wet, so you can see exactly how much she is cutting off. I found her to be very pleasant to talk to and she also gave me some tips on how to part and style my hair.
There is a 30% discount for new clients and I am overall very happy with the result and would definitely go back to Yuki!

Take the reviews to heart and look very closely at the pictures on the Salon Texture website. Most of them are the SAME CUT in different lengths. No wonder I was told that I wouldn’t have a chance to consult with Yuki about what I wanted — despite the claim on their website that they listen to their clients. Instead I was told she would do what she thought was «best.»
If I walked out with the one of the cuts on her site, I would have been happy… but I walked out with a style that I can only foresee finding a creative way to hide.
When I said a second time that we wouldn’t be moving forward with the appointment without a consultation, she said she couldn’t see the style I wanted in the photo on my phone. But, she sure did find a way, 20 minutes later, to work into the conversation how unattractive she finds that particular style. I thought… but isn’t it MY hair?
I stayed because I mistakenly thought the owner of a salon called «Texture» might know something unique about curls. It seems she might just know how to give the appearance of texture to otherwise straight hair. When she and her assistant — honestly it took two of them — showed me the «magic» of working with curls, it was exactly what I taught myself to do over 20 years ago when I was in junior high just by reading ‘Sassy’.
As someone else wrote — I expected layers, but I got large chunks of hair just sheared out. My hair has been expertly thinned in salons before… I’m not seeing anything expert about how I look right now and will be asking another stylist to «fix» me soon.
