After reading all the raving reviews, I made an appointment with Rita for cut and color. I expected a dive, and trust me, it is a dive. I waited 15 minutes after arriving on time as she was working on someone else. She didn't want to do my hair color so she cut my hair and sent me to see someone else. I waited 40 minutes as that hairdresser was working with another client. After she washed the color out of my hair she had me wait another 20 minutes while she finished her other client. The haircut was ok. I am less than thrilled. I have definitely had way better and more flattering cuts in which the stylist took more time to determine lifestyle, likes/dislikes (regarding hairstyles), etc. The worst part was that I ended up with a color I specifically said I did not want. Now I will need to purchase a toner and see if I can fix this. Personally, I could have colored my hair and done a better job myself, but I wanted a nice experience and change to uplift my spirits; neither of which I received. This salon has a reputation for being reasonable, but I am unsure reasonable compared to what? For what this costs me, I have gotten the same services in a very upscale salon for less! If you do choose to go here, keep in mind, they only take cash and the ladies at the front desk do not answer your questions.
Pros: Are there any?
Cons: Expensive, Do not take Credit Cards, Surly Staff, Don't get what you request
