STAY FAR AWAY FROM MONA!!!!!

by CJudyC

Mona cut and highlighted my hair. Rather than focusing on styling my hair, her focus was on telling me all about the problems she was having with her live in boyfriend and complaining about the owner of the salon among other issues. The cut turned out being one of the worst I have ever had. The color leaked out from under the foil and onto my scalp leaving huge blotches of blond at the root line. It looked awful! Mona offered no remedy for the botched color job and dismissed the damage by saying that the product sometimes does that - the product not Mona! Later in the day my scalp started itching and burning. The next day my hair started falling out. By the end of the week I had lost more than half my hair and about 2/3 of the hair on the top of my head. That was over a year ago. My hair has not grown back. Prior to this I did get one or two good cuts from Mona, but her work was erratic due, I think, to all her emotional issues that she just could not stop talking about.

• Cons: LOST OVER HALF MY HAIR AND IT HAS NOT GROWN BACK!

Pleasantly surprised.

I hadn't been to Salon Rebecca in years, but I decided to go back because I learned it was under new ownership and I was curious... I got a hair cut and I must say that it was worth it. I have difficult hair to cut because it is very fine but the stylist that I saw, Mona, was wonderful. She was also able to show me styling products and tricks that I could do at home to create more fullness. I don't know if it is the new owner, but this place is different than before and I LOVE it! I felt taken care of and important. IT is a little pricey, but for that service and kind of cut i will definitely be going back.

• Pros: friendly staff, experienced hair stylists, good location
• Cons: a bit expensive..but worth it.

Worst haircut, high price

by ranju

Terrible haircut! The cut style was no better than a discount hair cut place that are a dime a dozen in the area. The style is absolutely unwearable without a tremendous amount of effort expended on it. That is not the point of any hair cut that costs over $50! The reason people like me go to a salon that charges a premium is in the hope that the style is more wearable and less like a discounted barber shop....especially after letting the stylist (Mimi or Mini?)know that I want a cut that is easy to wear!

So, my quest to find a good salon in the neighborhood continues! The staff was courteous, hence the 1 star!

• Pros: Friendl Staff
• Cons: Untrained, unknowledgeable, unskilled
