I went there for a haircut this Wednesday, with Manny.
The staff are all super friendly and courteous. The service is indeed fabulous. However upon sitting in Manny's chair, I very specifically said that I do not want my length shortened. I had beautiful long hair which was simply out of style, and I wanted to keep it long. My hair almost touched my waist. Manny acknowledged that and said he will only take a couple of inches off the back and I said , please take as little as possible.
However I came out with my overall length shortened by no fewer than 4-5 inches and my hair reaching just midnof my shoulder blades. Manny called it styled and sexy and etc and yes it is indeed so. It’s a beautiful cut and it looks nice. But it’s not what I wanted. When I said as much , he said, come back in 6 months when your hair grows and I’ll give you the same style in long hair !! The gall! Why couldn’t he simply respect my wish and give me the same style in long hair now ????
In my culture, long hair is valued. I have had haircuts before that made me feel sexy and beautiful , gave my hair movement and volume while maintaining my length. Sadly, my go to hair cutter moved away. I am baffled that a hairdresser with 35 years of experience did not know how to do that and instead destroyed my length and suggested I come back in 6 months to have another cut by him if I don’t like my current hair cut !
