my reply to coachgirl's post on 05/25/2006..i agree with her strongly. it is more than safe to say i care the most about QUALITY; alexander g. salon provided great service, however..coachgirl said alex only spent 2 minutes. when he cut my hair and did my highlights, the hightlights took over an hour (which is good), but with my haircut, after rinsing out my hair EXTREMELY ROUGHLY, he started cutting my hair...and wa-la! about TEN minutes later, at most fifteen...he finished cutting my hair! which i found ridiculous (that is the time normally spent for a guy's hair, not on one of woman's most important feature: her HAIR!!!). my old hairstylist from another salon always spent at LEAST a quality 40 minutes to an HOUR to make sure my hair is perfect in every angle, she would blowdry my hair in differnet directions to make sure it evan looks nice when the wind is blowing it + when its down. also making corrections until its absolutely flawless. alex just trimmed my hair, i didnt want to complain afterwards. i paid my 500 dollars for the highlights + cut and left. i felt like crying. all i know is im never going back. i don't know why theres so many perfect reviews for this company. sure the service is great but not the most important thing; the style and quality of the hair. i've been around many different S.F. salons + i know what i'm talking about, if you feel like taking a risk..try this salon. i'm disappointed - i expected a whole lot more from this beautiful British salon.

Pros: Beautiful luxurious atmosphere, extremely friendly receptionist, warm drinks

Cons: business-like boss, lack of time spent on haircut if you set two services in one day, lack of dimension + angle in haircut.

Each highlighting and haircut appointment is given two hours. I may spend more time on highlighting than haircutting, especially since my assistant may blowdry. Sometimes it is the reverse (more time is spent on cutting). It is understandable that you feel a disproportionate amount of time was spent on the highlighting part. I am committed to achieving the highest quality of work in a timely manner. -Alexander G. (owner)
