After 10 months of letting my hair grow I decided it was finally time for a trim. Okay, maybe trim is an understatement. My hair needed some serious TLC. So I stopped by Hair Cuttery off of Princess Ann on a Saturday afternoon. I was anticipating at least a 15 minute wait but was pleasantly surprised when I was quickly attended to.
My stylist was Ashley, and I am now convinced she might be a hair styling goddess. I sat down in the chair and gave her a vague description of what I wanted, and then we went back for her to wash my hair. Once we got back to the chair, Ashley worked her magic. She did a few things that I REALLY appreciated: 1. She didn't upsell me on any services or products. 2. She didn't give me a lecture on the quality of my hair. 3. She cut it a little longer and let me decide if I wanted to go shorter or not. So not only did I walk out with EXACTLY the hair cut I wanted, but at no point during the process did I feel uncomfortable, judged, or nervous. I can honestly not say enough how much I appreciate that. As someone with damaged and naturally thin hair, I hate having my hair done because I always get a lecture and then products shoved in my face. I often cave and buy products that are never as good as promised and that I don't end up using. This wasn't the experience I wanted and luckily it wasn't the experience I had with Ashley.
As for the salon itself, I think its really nice for a Hair Cuttery. I've been to some that are a little run down, but not this one. It was clean and tidy. Every one of the stylists seemed friendly and also had really trendy hair. At a few points, it definitely felt like you were in a high-end salon.
After I left, I immediately texted a few friends in the area to recommend Ashley and this location. I've been to a variety of salons from the high end to the cheaper franchises, but the hair cut I got for $23 was the best I've gotten in recent years, maybe even my whole life! Definitely check this place out if you are looking for an affordable cut.
