One day, I wandered in here without an appointment, and learned that women's haircuts are $10, and that the hairdresser was booked for the last couple hours of her daddy and couldn't fit me in. She was apologetic, but I had no problem with that. I knew when I walked in that without an appointment there was no guarantee she's have time for me. I made an appointment for the next morning.
My wait was about 10 minutes, as the hairdresser was Midway through a means haircut. Hairdresser greeted me when I came in. Pleasant.
Once my turn was up, she invited me to sit down and asked me what I wanted done. My hairstyle is mostly pretty easy, but my sideburns are unusually long, and I like it that way. Since my haircut is slightly unusual, I worry about working with different hairdressers, and the possibility that they will mess up my sideburns.
I was sooo pleasantly surprised with my haircut. This hairdresser fixed a mistake made by my previous hairdresser! I'm grateful. There was one minor issue with an area in the upper back "corner" of my head. The hair ththe was sticking up just a little. But nobody else noticed it except me, after I got home and inspected the cut. I never bothered trying to fix it myself. And I even had a stranger compliment my hair a few hours after the cut.
I'll definitely visit Alb again if I find myself needing a haircut while I'm in Philadelphia.
