Hype Cut and Color Bar

I decided to give this salon a try as it was close to where I live & needed a new stylist. It is a stylish modern décor & looked nice (It did look a little like an assembly-​line style hair shop). The nice features ends there. My haircut was terrible. I explained to the hairstylist that my hair is fine & can be difficult, but she rushed as if she already knew. I am willing to pay for a good haircut, but my $ 40 haircut was unworthy of salon quality & more of a ‘supercuts’ quality. The hairdresser spent 7min on my haircut. More time was spent on the blow out. Ridiculous! There is no way a 7min haircut on long hair is going to look good because even bad haircuts initially appear nice with a blow out! (My husband’s haircut at a barber takes longer than that!) A good haircut will look good even damp, especially because the hair strands & style sits well. My hair looked unchanged & flat. The stylist attempted to explain that my hair is black colored so you cannot see the layers & style. Umm, I have lived with my hair for 40years & have had many haircuts at many salons — I know what my hair is like & does, especially after a GOOD haircut. She was kind in trying to re-​cut my hair with a 3^rd attempt or curl it (which only masks the ugliness) but at that point, she was already behind the 8 ball & would only make situations worse. Overall, how you feel about a haircut the next day (once the artificial fluff & spray wears off) is a true testament of a good haircut — today I am very unhappy. My hair is very choppy, with abrupt layers like a staircase appearance. Never again! Maybe it was just the hairstylist but if there is a better hairstylist there, I will never return to find out.

After hearing all the «hype» about this place decided to try it. On the recommendation of others I saw Janet for color and highlights. I stressed as much as I could that I wanted them blonde but they all came out red. It was so hideous I didn’t even want to go to work the next morning. I ultimately had to spend a small fortune to get them corrected and the salon I went to wanted to know if I tried doing my hair at home. The highlights were never fully processed which is why they looked so ghastly and the placement was amateurish. The place may be cheap but you get what you pay for. Never again!

Great blow out for a VERY affordable price!

Sure, I’ve gotten fantastic haircuts before, but usually not for $ 35, and they usually dont look as good a few days later without styling. I certainly don’t get haircuts as often as I should but that’s probably because I haven’t found a good place until now. Hype opened its doors less than a year ago, but I only went a few weeks ago. Inside is very chic and modern. The staff is friendly and helpful. After the shampooing and conditioning, my haircut and blowdry probably took only about 15 – 20 min, and I was a bit wary. I liked it right after coming out of the salon, but the real test is how well it grows out. Three weeks later, I’m still loving my haircut, and it’s a total no-​fuss-​get-​up-​and– go haircut, exactly what I was looking for. I am thrilled about this salon and it’s less than 5 minutes away from me. Totally off topic, but beware of the red light camera when you make a right onto Terry Rd from 347! My haircut was $ 80 more expensive that day because I failed to make a full stop making a right!
