Salon Dexterity

I had a very odd experience here, but the brief version is this: Ashley was awkward, sold herself out of my business, and expects to be paid $ 94 an hour.
The long version is this: I called and made an appointment for 2:30pm. I had never been there before so I didn’t ask for a specific stylist. I showed up early and waited until 10 minutes past my appointment time. Ashley came out and greeted me. She was nice, but conversation did not flow naturally; there were awkward pauses where she just looked at me blankly and she was awkward in general. I sat down in her chair, and I told her about my hair and a rough idea of what I wanted. After talking for a few minutes she summarized and repeated back to me what I wanted, which was a good thing, it let me know she understood. Then she said my haircut will be $ 47. I said «Oh, ok. That’s more than what I was expecting but that’s ok.» I was glad she told me what it would cost before doing it, that was a good thing. However, what I wanted was extremely simple and would not take more than 30 min MAX with a shampoo. I don’t know if that is the going rate for a haircut these days, but that equates to almost $ 100 an hour and that is ridiculous. I was willing to pay it to avoid having to find a different place all over again. She asked me if I was sure, because there are other stylists there who «charge less because they haven’t been doing hair as long.» So I uncomfortably asked if there was anyone available right now because, you know, I made an appointment and I was expecting to get my hair done… She quickly glanced over her shoulder and said no, but I could make another appointment with someone else for a different time. I once again uncomfortably had to say no, not right now, and pretended I would call to reschedule. She gave me her card and ended with saying, «But I’d love to do your hair!» as I left. I have never had an experience like that before where I consulted with someone and left without actually getting the haircut. I was a bit ticked off and made an appointment at a different salon and got a great haircut for a lot less. Aside from that weird situation, the salon is clean and new, the girl at the desk was friendly, and making the appointment was easy. They were able to get me in the same day, which is a plus. I didn’t end up getting my hair done so I cannot make a recommendation as far as that goes. I’m sure they do a good job, if you’re ok with that price range.

Ask for Ashley she is amazing. She listens to what you have to say. Will be coming here again. The vibe is fun. Great music. Everyone is very friendly.

The inside is clean, tidy and polished. Heather has been cutting my hair for 3 years. She is quick and experienced within her job. I’ve recommended many people to her and Cherie, who specializes in color. Great place!
