We have had a couple of good haircuts in the past, but not our experience today. We had a new stylist- I hadn't seen her before- who obviously did not have much experience. She didn't look at the picture of how I wanted my son's hair cut to look for more than 2 seconds before announcing "Yep just a scissor cut." She proceeded to lob off my sons hair all the way around his head, and jabbed his thankfully closed eye in the process. When I informed her that she almost got his eye she said that she didn't and she had "complete control." I almost walked out right then... and I should have. She got the buzzers out to go around his ears which he does not like. Instead of distracting him like they normally do, she tries holding his head tightly against her own body, which made me uncomfortable considering his eye was almost poked a minute before... he wiggles and the buzzers slip a good inch leaving a terrible notch in his hair.
The only saving grace was a second stylist came over and tried to salvage what had been done, evening things out some and adding a little texture. Thank goodness for her, but she could only do so much. :(
