I will make this short and sweet...I went to Haircolorexperts in Cary and had an amazing experience with a stylist. After moving into Raleigh, I figured I would take my business to Cameron Village to save myself 25 minutes. It was an awful, awful idea.
I have NEVER cried in a stylists chair until Haircolorexperts at Cameron Village. My hair was awful! I had asked the stylist in our "consultation" to trim up my layers and keep my length because I was growing my hair longer. I wanted life and bounce in my hair, so I also asked for her to texturize the layers, so they did not look choppy. During our consultation, she seemed a little spacey, but I thought that might just be her personality, so I went with it. She was very nice and friendly while cutting my hair and I was impressed at how straight she managed to style it. Then she handed me the mirror to look closely at my hair, and the tears welled up in my eyes...
She had chopped at least 4 inches from my TOP layer, making my longest layer and shortest layer at least 7 inches apart, and the layers were horribly choppy and each stood on their own instead of blending together. My hair had a mushroom shape at the top, due to the thickness of the top, way-too-short, layer and then ended in a stringy mess that was my bottom layer that was way-too-thin. I looked like a bad version of an 80's rocker chick.
I cried. I cried in public. She asked how to fix it, but short of chopping 7 inches off of my hair to even it out, I didn't see any way to do that. She had someone else look at it, and they said it looked fine...?!?!?!?! It was then that I decided I would not allow the hair butchers of Cameron Village to "fix" my botched haircut, even when they called to check in on me. Why would I let them cut my hair again??? They had already ruined it once!
Lucky for me, my story has a light at the end of the tunnel: Stacie at Salon Moxie in Raleigh - go see her instead of this butcher shop, trust me.
Pros: They gave me a rose when I left...
Cons: worst haircut I've ever had, bad stylists, fake consultation
