Be aware if you have LONG curly hair!!!!!!!!
1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

03/25/2008 Posted by Ynyc

After reading all those good reviews i decided to try. I have long, blond, curly hair. My hair in a great shape and i am trying to grow it! The first thing i told Cypriano is that i do NOT want to cut my hair for more than 2inches! even 1inch is enough it told him!! I told him that I do trim my hair regularly a LITTLE BIT! only a little bit! Guess what?! Cypriano trimmed 4 -5inches!!! 4-5inches!!!! I cannot believe my eyes!!!!!! I've been crying for a week now:((( i am devastated! but cannot do anything.... On an average, hair grows at the rate of 6 inches annually!!! only 6inches per year. He trimmed almost a year growth!!!!!! In addition, i was charged $200. If you love your LONG hair don't go there!!! A professional hairstylist should listen to your needs!!!!!! Trust me i told Cypriano (supposedly the top specialist) as minimum as 4 times that he do NOT want him to cut my hair for more that 2inches top!!! I've been through a number of hair salons and i have to say the only good thing about Curlisto is a smart marketing and, yes, good products. Their products are good. My best advice, go there to style your hair for a wedding or other event, maybe, buy a lotion or anything else you like to use. BUT do NOT trust them in trimming your hair!!!!!!!!!!! Especially if your goal is to cut it a bit!

Pros: Good products

Cons: Don't listen your needs! horrible haircut!

Response from this business

You're Hair, Our Passion
Posted on 03/25/2008
We are very surprised to read your review. Consultation is a very important part of our services here @ Christo Fifth Avenue, especially for a NEW visiting client. Cypriano has been with the Curlisto artistic team for the last 6 years, and he has established a tremendous clientèle with his extraordinary skills. He has earned his "Master Designer" degree through the support of his loyal clients. We have looked into your visit; Cypriano remembered it very well. Cypriano gave you an extensive and thorough consultation and performed the hair cut to your satisfaction. He did not cut 5 inches off your hair; he only trimmed according to the consult. If he had done so, you would have complained to him or to management immediately. Instead, you gladly accepted a compliment form Christo himself when you were checking out at the front desk. We extend our invitation for you to come back & have your hair evaluated because we always stand behind our craftsmanship. After all, your hair is our passion
