Hair by John

Critical: Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, ValueI just returned from my first visit to John’s salon, and will NEVER RETURN!!. I found him to be extremely rude, condescending, seemed bothered by my appearance — zero hospitality and not welcoming at all. I had done my research before scheduling my appointment yesterday. I read all the google and yelp reviews and also looked at the pictures of the many hairstyles and color that he had done on previous clients through his instagram page. I read what an amazing hairstylist and colorist he is, but more importantly how kind, and meticulous he was with his cuts in helping you achieve a great look. Needless to say I was excited to get my haircut. I had spoken to John back in March to inquire if he was comfortable cutting and styling thick hair (He told me that he had alot of experience cutting all sorts of hair). I waited for Hair by John to reopen, because I really wanted John to cut my hair. I have below shoulder length, thick, somewhat dry, colored hair (Had just colored my hair at home a couple of days ago). As soon as I sat in his chair, he seemed bothered and annoyed and went to ask me what I wanted, how much length I wanted taken off. He made me feel as if I had the worse hair he had ever seen and simply could not wait to be done with me. I was taken aback by his somewhat aggressive demeanor and also seemed bothered when I asked him for suggestions (Afterall he is the professional and knows what style, cut, length is best for all different hair types). I wanted to walk out of his salon with a new fresh style, instead I walked out feeling disappointed, sad, upset with wet hair pulled back into a half pony tail. (He did not even style or blow dry my hair). I expected more from my visit, expected someone kind, respectful, patient, but more importantly someone who makes you feel comfortable in his chair. I think if you have perfect hair that is healthy, shiny, thin then maybe John has a different demeanor. But, if you have “non perfect” hair or ask questions do not bother going to Hair by John! He expects you to tell him how he should cut your hair, instead of offering suggestions and working with you to come up with the perfect cut that will suit you. I regret going to his salon and will never return.UsefulFunnyCoolI just returned from my first visit to John’s salon, and will NEVER RETURN!!.
