Not what I expected

by amelie074 at Citysearch

Considering this place has a 8.4 rating on City Search, I thought this salon would be okay. I'm new to Edmonds and desperately needed a hair cut before I start a new job. Unfortunately this is one of those places that specializes in little old ladies who like their hair 'set' in curlers and sit under dryers. No offense - I may be one of them in a few years! But I was hoping for a more modern place. I had to ask 3 times to cool down the water while she was rinsing. I felt like my scalp was on fire. Same thing while blow drying it. I had to ask twice to turn it down. Luckily, she cut my hair decently so I'm not completely unhappy but I won't be back.

• Pros: good parking
• Cons: horrible atmosphere, Not worth the money
