All In the Cut

We walked in to get an eyebrow wax for my son (gotta take that unibrow!). I was told it would be a five minute wait. 45 minutes later they finally got around to him. Not impressed with the salon or the two men who were not busy but refused to do the waxing. We had to wait for the woman, who was busy with a highlight job. She was nice but I will not go back because of the poorly managed wait time.

A good place for haircuts for boys. Not sure why they charge an extra $ 2 if you have an appointment. Would think they would encourage appointments. Next time will just walk in to save the $ 2.

I wish I had heeded my reservations once I had read the other bad review. I took my 11 year old daughter to get her hair cut. She had waited to cut her waist-​length hair so she could donate it to Locks of Love. We showed the hairdresser a photo of the style my daughter wanted from a hairstyle magazine; below the shoulders, a bit layered in front. She said no problem, or something like it. I measured several times at home prior to our trip. I showed the hairdresser exactly where to cut the pony tail. Three times I showed her. She cut it a little shorter, so ok. Mind you the hair was still a good two inches past her shoulders. After spraying the bottom half of her hair with a water bottle (yes, the BOTTOM HALF) she started cutting and she kept cutting… and cutting… and cutting… I kept saying my daughter wants it below her shoulders, you are going to short… She did not listen. The end result? A semi-​bowl cut, way above her shoulders, not layered at the front at all (however the right side was two inches longer than the left) I kept looking at my daughter’s face and could see she was wondering what the heck was going on. I decided I had to have the argument. Why? The damage was already done. But I was not going away without them knowing I was unhappy. They kept arguing with me and saying that was where I said it was ok to cut. I have photos of where to cut (since it was a momentous day, with the Locks of Love and all). Finally I was going to pay and they said no, its ok. We left and went to another salon down the block to have her hair fixed. Thankfully, my daughter is ok with the cut, even though its not nearly what she wanted. She said to me, «it will grow back»! Bottom line, DO NOT GO TO THIS SALON unless you want someone to do exactly the OPPOSITE of what you ask of them. Horrible, horrible place, not nice people, terrible customer service. Never again. By the way, they charge extra if you want to make an appointment. Go figure…

If Unilocal gave negative stars, that is what they would get. Ugh. I just moved back here from Oakland, where I have been getting my eyebrows done for the last year by the same person (Jenny at Lisa’s — fabulous). I like them on the thicker side and told the guy who was doing it (yes, a guy) to only clean it up and not take anything off. He said that he likes thick eyebrows and I thought that I found someone good.
Nope. He dripped wax in my eye and then took off half of my left eyebrow. When I asked him about it, he said he was trying to make it even with the other one — that one that is still the way it was and considerably thicker than the fucked up one. He also said that it will grow back in two weeks, don’t worry. Really? I just paid you money so I could wait for two weeks for my eyebrow to grow back? Thanks.

All in the Cut is the best! Been going here for over 6 years! Nice and Clean Salon with Good Parking!

I don’t know about the waxing…
I get my hair done by Kim and haven’t tried anyone else. Kim is great. She really knows a lot about how to shape hair to a person’s face. I also get my hair colored and she’s done a great time every time.
The best part is that she’s very reasonably priced.
