OS2 Salon

McKenzie is Always fantastic. She knows how to color my blonde hair exactly how I want. She always listens to me, and exceeds my expectations. The best stylist and colorist I've ever been to. Amazing!

I've had a botched dye job and a horribly botched haircut from OS2. About two years ago I saw Silvena for balayage highlights. I'm a brunette and wanted subtle blonde highlights. I left with an entire head of ORANGE hair. There were absolutely no breaks in the color, no sight of my natural hair even peaking through except for at the roots. The roots were especially brassy orange but because of the balayage style also dark brown, an especially nice look... Since I paid around $300, I called to see what they could do to fix it. They were nice enough on the phone and had me come in to see Paul. He was able to color correct the brassy orangeness and dye sections of the orange brown (yes adding low lights to try and match my original color to achieve the highlights that I asked for vs all over color). I was not thrilled with the the end result but much happier than I was with the ompaloompa hair I left with a few days earlier. Fast forward to a few weeks ago, I've been seeing Paul for regular cuts ever since. I have very long (scratch that HAD very long) thick beautiful hair down to my back, a couple inches past my elbows. Last week I went for my regular trim and asked for some subtle, long layers to be added and to have it thinned a little bit to remove some of the bulk/weight from my heavy head of basically all one length hair. I showed him 3 pictures of girls with the exact same length, color and style so as to leave nothing to the imagination. However, that is NOT what I left with. He showed me that he was going to cut 2" inches off the ends which I was totally fine with since I typically go 6 months between cuts and wanted fresh ends. Well he not only took at least double that from the longest layer but chopped away at my hair like Edward scissor hands until my shortest layer reached my chin, so about 6-8 inches of length - that took me years to grow just chopped abruptly. I now have short shoulder length, very choppy, varied length layers with obvious "holes" in the longest layer that just hangs there with no hair, just a big old empty gap. I asked for long layers.... There's about a five inch gap from the shortest layer to the longest. It looks awkward AF. I feel like I have a mullet. I can't even do a messy bun anymore because these short layers refuse to lay down, they stick straight up in all directions. And to add insult to injury, because the shortest layer was so abruptly chopped from the rest of the length, my color outgrowth from the previous color catastrophe looks hideous. The shortest layer shows off 1 inch of blonde hair that's an awkward contrast to the dark brunette hair beneath in the longer layer. I have no idea why he decided to take creative liberty with my hair or completely ignore what I asked for or the images that I painstakingly scoured the internet for, but I have never been so upset over a haircut in my life. I honestly believe he did it to get me coming in every six weeks vs six months. Because this cut is very high maintenance, with all of those bs layers (seriously they're like seven different lengths) I am going to have a whole mess of split ends and be constantly trying to get that 6 inch chop job to match the longest layer. It's absurd that he chose (not me Bc he completely ignored what I wanted) to give me this high maintenance style when I told him I'm expecting and have been so sick that I haven't done my hair in months and obviously won't have time to style all seven layers of hair once the baby comes, let alone drop the $70/every six weeks on his over priced haircuts. I have no idea how to style this hair. I normally just straighten it (which he knows) and I can't do that with the way the layers lay. They look completely unintentionally choppy.

Abbey is absolutely the best!! My haircut is stylish & sassy (which is saying a lot for a 57-year old). I love her to pieces and both my daughters now see her as well (one all the way from San Francisco!).

Love this salon!!!! Paul does my hair and both of my daughter's hair - he is wonderful!!! Everyone is always so nice.

OS2 is a great salon in Geneva! Miguel and Silvena are great stylist. My haircut came with a scalp massage which was amazing. OS2 staff is very friendly and I would definitely return again!!
