I really wanted to fall in love with this salon so that I could tell the friend who bought me a gift certificate to visit that it was fab. Sadly, not the experience. It started with my appointment being cancelled via a voice mail i never received. Having driven 40 minutes to the appointment, i was not thrilled. To their credit, they were able to come up with another stylist who could do one of the two services I had scheduled - highlights. What i really needed was a cut, but that was nit to be.
The Stylist (whose name can remain private) did a fine job with the color. It's actually quite lovely. Not $145 worth of lovely, but again, I was there on a gift card. The same cannot be said of her blowout skills. She burned me twice and left my bangs in such a mess that I actually had to pull over on my drive home to dig a barrette out of the glovebox because I couldn't see! Important to note that there was no cut or trim involved and they suggested I go home "wet."
The girl who did my shampoo... she needs to find a new occupation. She tugged and pulled my hair so hard I wasn't sure I'd have anything left to blowout. Additionally, she sprayed and soaped nearly my entire face! Even my eyeliner and mascara ran!
All in all, I'm glad the mystery of Joseph Anthony is over, and I look forward to returning to Currie for my services.
