IF YOU WANT TO GO TO THIS SALON, MAKE SURE YOU ARE...

IF YOU WANT TO GO TO THIS SALON, MAKE SURE YOU ARE GOING TO A STYLIST WHO IS EMPLOYED BY THE SALON, AND NOT SOMONE WHO JUST RENTS A CHAIR!!!!!! My hair was absolutely DESTROYED by PATRICK THEOHAR. The top of my hair was turned almost black, and rest of my hair was light brown. But that's not the worst part. I had beautiful hair down to my waist... And asked if I wanted thicker bangs. And I said not too much, but a little bit thicker would be fine... And he then cut 2 feet of hair off each side of my face. And now it looks like I have sideburns!!!! Then he said I needed layers. I and said I did not want layers, because my hair is not very thick. And he insisted that that is why I needed them. He pulled up my hair ready to cut, and I said "NO!" He cut it, and say "too late!!!" But assured me I would love it. Patrick has AMAZING CHARISMA!!!! And a fantastic personality. But he cannot cut or color hair!!!!! I now have to live with a random chunk of hair 5 inches above the rest of my hair. Which I honestly don't even think qualifies as a "layer." I really don't know what the hell this is supposed to be. I just know it looks ridiculous.I have cried numerous times. I contacted Patrick several times with no response. And I called the salon numerous times, and was told that they take no responsibility because he is an "independent contractor." So..... Since I live in Chicago, and was just visiting LA, there's nothing I can do. It is going to take 6 YEARS for me grow out this disaster. At the risk of sounding superficial, I truly am depressed as a result of this haircut and color. The LEAST the salon could do, is offer to pay my salon in Chicago to try to do something to make this look somewhat decent. But instead, both Patrick, and the salon ignored every phone call and every text message. In my opinion, this is not a way to do business. My hair stylist in Chicago said that it looks like whoever cut my hair, has never had any training at all. Definitely do not go to Patrick Theohar!!!!! And honestly, I wouldn't recommend going to this salon at all, based on how I've been treated. Even if the stylist just rents a chair, the salon should take some kind of responsibility. They should require Patrick to refund the cost of the cut and color, and/or pay my salon to fix the disaster he made. The salon also should not allow someone to rent a chair in their facility who doesn't have proper training. And the salon should not allow anyone who works in their salon to simply ignore unsatisfied clients. Both Patrick and the salon have been completely unprofessional. This happened almost two months ago. And I have gotten nowhere with anyone I've talked to. And I am still completely devastated. Every morning I wake up, and try to style my hair, and I am so, so, so, so sad. I look ridiculous. And neither Patrick, nor anyone at that salon cares at all.
