Editorial Review for Notorious for Hair – by Lorraine Sanders

In Short
This funky Castro salon's second-floor, apartment-like space is more bohemian than it is posh, with Hollywood-style lighted mirrors and glittered wall art. Pierced and tattooed stylists will get your head in ship-shape condition, whether that means adding hot pink chunks, twisting up dreads or prepping wigs for drag divas. Patrons often stop in to replenish their stock of hair products, which include MOP and KMS lines.

I recently decided to cut off 14 inches of hair which was a big decision. Notorious was able to get me in for an appointment in less than an hour and Jessie made me feel totally comfortable about the huge change I was about to go through. She gave me a beautiful haircut and great conversation to go with it. I love my short hair and would not go back to anyone else except Jessie at Notorious. And they charge less than $40 bucks for a cut if it's your first time there. It's a win-win situations!

Pros: So friendly, great prices, the whole place is fantastic!

Cons: I have no complaints about Notorious.

I really hate to be the one to write a poor review, but this needs to be said. I got my haircut today by Sandy, she was awesome!! This comment is not about her.....it is about the false advertisment on the website. They say that first time customers can get a haircut for $28.00, but this is not true. I was a first time customer, I got two inches cut off my hair and it took 1/2 an hour to do, the wash and cut. When I cashed out my total was $38.00. I was being a space-cadet and not paying attention to the total. I called back later to question why it was $38 and not $28. The lady on the phone stated, "... that it is $28.00 and up, depending on your hair length and products used.." I told her that on the website it says "$28.00 First time customers. It mentions nothing about it being a sliding scale" . She rudely told me that she was sorry i didnt understand and that she would have to look into changing what the website said. I hate to be frugel about $10.00, but money is money and if you are going to advertise a certain price, i think you should honor it. Consider a customer lost
