I tried this place because of the highly-rated reviews and I get nervous trying new places, especially with my looks. I made a note on my online appointment that I wanted to try something new and this is my first time.
I grew out my hair for the last 2 months. I'm currently looking for a new job and want to look professional and stylish.
When I arrived one woman told me to sit in a chair. Another woman came out, didn't ask who I was (since I signed up for an appointment, I thought they would at least confirm it was me). She proceeded to ask what I wanted. I told her I wanted something new and said I usually cut the sides, fade and the top long combed forward. I washed/conditioned my hair and did not add any product so my hair would be ready for something new. She put a cape on me. I usually go to barbers and they use a disposable paper around the neck area. I have a 17" neck, but this cape was choking me and no disposable paper. It's probably because this is a salon so the cape was made for smaller necks. As she was cleaning up my neck and sides it was hard for me to breath so I had a tickle in my throat because the cape was tight. After a few coughs I was offered water. I told her, "this (cape) is tight." I also used my fingers to try and stretch the cape. After a few minutes I started coughing again. The stylist next to us said something in Korean and next thing I knew I had to put on a mask. I'm not sick, the cape was choking me. She started back up cutting my hair and it was getting short, but she left my bangs long. I told her, "I like to have the front spike up, would that be ok for me?" I should have said, "would having my hair spike in the front instead of my bangs lay on my forehead be a better look? Should my short shaved hair on the sides with long bangs in front the new style? " She continued to keep cutting my top and bangs shorter and shorter. I look like a Marine (high and tight) or someone straight out of military boot-camp. By then I was sad about how short my hair was. The website says "35% off first visit". Well, this men cut is $35 which is exactly what she asked for. She didn't know I was a first time customer, she didn't ask and I was so sad I wanted to just leave. I spent the last 2 months with super long hair, wearing hats when I can and now my hair is too short and not stylish.
Now I need to grow my hair out and try this again.
I felt like they didn't care who I was, didn't listen when I said the cape was too tight and did not stop to ask if this is what I'm looking for. Why didn't she ask what I wanted or tell me what she was going to do?
I'm not posting a picture because I don't want to ever remember what I look like now, EVER !

Thank you for the reply. As my original review states:
I wrote in my online appointment this is my first time and was looking for something new.
I was only asked what I usually do for a haircut, not that I wanted something new. I was very nervous in a new salon.
I was not given any ideas magazines, nor was I asked what new style I wanted.
I clearly said the cape was too tight, not adjusted or given another cape.
I can't do anything with my hair since it is SO SHORT. I can only wait for it to grow. There is no way to I will come back, I look like a soldier, with a short haircut no style. I am 6' 250 pounds and now I look very intimidating, not welcoming. This is NOT a good look when I go for job interviews
