I recently relocated to the Bay Area and have been trying to find a new hair stylist. This place is so not it. I’m a 30 yr old woman with short hair – edgy, but still femiene and appropriate for my professional job. Other gals with short hair know that having a fab cut is beyond important – there’s no pulling into a pony tail, etc. I went to Angela based on three things: 1) a coworker had a cute short haircut by Angela; 2) she is owner of the salon; 3) the reviews on this site. Angela seemed to do a good job listening to what I wanted and looking at pictures of me with the haircut I wanted. But when it came to execution… She gave me a below average cut with two bad moves that has turned it into a nightmare. 1) She cut the hair at the crown of my head really, really short and left the rest of it a couple inches long. This resulted in a total Alfalfa – the hair sticks straight up and no matter how I hair dry or what kind/amount of product I use it won’t say down. It’s been two weeks and it still is sticking straight up. 2) We talked about how I wanted to let my bangs grow longer. In the process of shaping them she says, “You have a cowlick here, so I’m just going to cut it off.” Before I had a chance to react she cut a chunk of my bangs almost to the scalp. Now I have long bangs with a crazy chunk missing. I should have thought twice when my coworker mentioned that she was now growing her hair out. I will be doing the same.
