Ippatsu Salon

I have a ton of long, heavy, thick hair and am used to getting 'ok' but not great cuts from most places. I had a spontaneous desire for a haircut yesterday and was able to get a same day appointment at Ippatsu with Abby. She listened to my ideas, provided some of her own, and was friendly throughout the process. The salon was hip and trendy but managed to stay approachable for someone un-hip like me. Roxanne, the resident chihuahua, was a nice surprise, even though she was having a moody day. I have never had a nicer haircut - Abby did a beautiful job of dealing with my thick hair and making it look polished. At $40 for a basic haircut, Ippatsu isn't cheap. In my case, however, the price was well worth it and I'll be going back to Abby from now on.

I had my hair cut there a few months ago and it was horrible. The girl, who said that she had curly hair herself, didn't know how to do a simply blowout. She also didn't have a curling iron or a straightening iron on hand. After 45 minutes of her messing with my hair, she basically ran out of time and let me leave looking like a fried poodle. ug.

One stylist has a good cutting skill but the style doesn't go with my face. The environment is very modern and stylish and some people like it very much. Last time I went they charged $25 and I don't know if they increase the price or not. I don't think there are many good salson around here. So if you cannot find a good one, Ippatsu is the one worth to give it a shot.

I went to Ippatsu for about 2 years. I have since moved from the area, but really miss it! It's trendy w/o being intimidating or obnoxious. The stylists are fun, and they are up-to-date on their trade. The products they use are very high-quality, and I always loved how my hair looked. Plus, Roxanne, the chiuahua that lives there is adorable!

PROS: Stylists, products, atmosphere....
CONS: Price (but, you get what you pay for!)
