Finding a style is easy, you know what you want. But finding the right person to GIVE you that style.. that's a completely different story. Unlike celebrities the average person doesn't have access to great hairstylists like Ken Paves and Danilo so I'm trying to find some good salons.

Please post names of some popular and trendy salons. Like TONI&GUY and Mia & Maxx, I'm looking for salons with a fashion type of theme.

The 2 salons that seem to be everywhere: Regis & TONI&GUY. What else is there? PLEASE share!

And please, no local, independantly owned salon discussion.

heh.......Regis.

Yeah, that's where I went last time.. GREAT haircut, the guy that did my hair was lovely. The girl that did my eyebrows literally RIPPED of my skin and gave me mutated uneven eyebrows, even though I brought like 100 different angles of the perfect eyebrows I wanted rofl.

are you the female painted rose? or the tranny painted rose? i can never tell you two apart

The simple, easy to understand if you're a regular human being is that there is neither a female or transexual Painted Rose... just a male one, me.

you see, guys dont go to salons, they go to barbers. They also dont ask for it to be styled, they just mention how much to cut off and then all discussion ends until the said cut has been completed. Unless they are gay (but they go to salons anyway). The only other discussion required at a barbers is a quick 'yes' when they ask if it looks ok (and it is always a 'yes'), and then a 'thanks mate' or 'cheers' once the exchange of cash has been completed. That is all.

Ohh.. didn't know that type of guy still existed, ahaha.

I'm much more into the increasingly popular metrosexual type of theme where males are very interested in fashion and culture, not just FISH N HUNT.

It's really not fair to attack my lifestyle choices in a thread where I'm simply asking a question you know.. no reason to do that at all. I'm sure there are plenty of things I would disagree with about you but I would never just blurt them out randomly

im just trying to help why are you always so harsh on me! i pour my heart and soul out to you and what thanks do i get! this has been the story of my life and now you are just adding to the isolation i have felt ever since i was abandoned as a baby! but if you are gay, then by all means use a salon

oh shut up already!

i heard "toni and guy essentials" is actually better than just "toni and guy" if you have that by you aswell.

PMS?

i've been going to the same chick for 3.5 years now. she's really good, 3 of the 4 times a year i get my hair done. (she's really good with my daughter's hair) getting a hair cut is serious.

i tend to prefer the independent.

something i do. when i'm out and i see someone with my hair type and a great cut/style, i'll approach them and ask where it is they get their hair cut. it usually ends up being an independent/local/friends, for them, spot.

I go to Toni & Guy, and although they are hideously overpriced, I find that they do what I ask, which is more than my local salon do, I give them a picture, and it is as if I have said "please style my hair in a way that is the the exact opposite of the hair in this picture. Thank you"

Why dont you want to go to an independant salon? Surely they are better than "chain" salons like Regis.

Just my opinion.

The Regis in the Birmingham Galleria is surprisingly really good. I don't even have a particular stylist there and they're always good -- except for one time when I got the new girl and went home crying, but I went the next day and someone else fixed it for free. I can't find a good one in CA. I went to this day spa in La Jolla that was overpriced and they didn't even get my split ends off and she cut bangs that were not even to my eyebrows, when the pictures I showed her were long, to the eyeballs side bangs. I went to another pricey place that I got a 20% student discount to and they were decent, but no better than regis honestly. Apparently some regises are crappy though, I've heard bad stories about their colorists.

Uhmm my boyfriend got his hair cut at a salon.
lmfao And he wanted a style. He was just psyched because they gave him a free hand massage.

My salon is in my bathrrom
Who better to cut your hair the way you want it other than you

I just looked it up and it DOES look really good! Do you know if they have an America version or not? all I can find is a UK one so far..

That's exactly what I want, rofl. Just.. give me what the person in the picture has, please. That's what always happened to me with local salons.. they just gave me mutated, DIY-looking versions of the styles I want.

But Regis/TONI&GUY/Mia and Maxx all have pictures of different styles you can bring to the salon and all the styles they have are exactly the type of hairstyle I'm looking for so I feel like they would be a great place to go for that

Yeah I've heard a lot of bad things about Regis salons and a lot of good things. The guy that did my hair was really nice and funny and gave me exactly what I wanted, I was very pleased with the stylist. Everyone in the salon just gave it a really nice atmosphere so I would defintly go back there. Just.. the eyebrows girl, rofl. She kept asking me how I wanted different parts of my eyebrows.. I was just like, um, look at #273 on the eyebrows style chart. I just wanted the stray hairs gone but I left with just a LIL bit more, ahha. But I just got a pair of Revlon tweezers and I'll be doing it myself from now on, I've had too many bad experiences with proffesional eyebrow grooming.


Oh, and for all the discussion on independant salons.. well, with the area I live in there just aren't any that I find suitable for the type of person I am. If I lived near a big city I'm sure I could find one but I just.. don't, haha.

I have never had a professional eyebrow wax and I get compliments on my eyebrows all the time. That may be because mine are naturally really thick so I can just make the shape I want because I have to pluck half them out anyways, but I've never felt the need to have it professionally done. I don't think it's necessary unless you just have no clue how to do it.

i've been going to the same independent hair salon for 6 years. they know me, they know what i like and they listen to my requests.
