Don't go to Becky! Becky, PUT DOWN THE SCISSORS AND BOTTLE OF DYE, before someone else gets hurt. I get angry every time I look in the mirror. My highlights are embarrasing. I have light brown hair, and there is a 1.5 inch thick bleach blonde streak near each of my ears. No other highlights showed up, just these skunk stripes on the sides of my head. I can't wear my hair back or in a headband until a PROFESSIONAL fixes it. My haircut isn't much better. I asked for a trim, and with inches of my hair on the floor later, my hair is DRAMATICALLY shorter. The length to my hair will grow back, but the corrective color I need is going to cost a couple hundred $. I've been a loyal client to Becky for a couple years, and her level of client service has gotten progressively worse leading up to this incident. She doen't ask how you want your hair , and if you tell her, she simply ignores you and does what she wants, saying she'll do what you asked next visit. She's so self centered, she doesn't have the CAPACITY to listen. When she talks to you, she consistently makes eye contact with HERSELF in the mirror. CREEPY. Hope the band works out Becky, cause you need a new day job. - Christine , posted 05/26/07 |

I'm not afraid of change or drastic haircuts or drastic color. However, what Sandi the stylist gave me is truly atrocious. I look as if I went temporarily insane with a pair of scissors. I told her that I wanted something fun but needed it to still be conservative enough that I wouldn't put my very wealthy older clients off at work. I told her I didn't want to lose a lot of length and that I didn't like short bangs. She gave me mini fringe bangs, very short layers in the back and these weird long pieces on my front sides that resemble Hasidic locks. As she was cutting my hair she told me I was "really getting something special here". The 'special' she was referring to was obviously that special look that mental patients have. And then she spent ten minutes blowing smoke up my butt about how 'elegant' and 'hot' it looked. I was so stunned by the experience I just left and wandered around in a daze. On the train ride home, people were openly staring at my hair in abject horror. The color isn't what I wanted, either, but at least it doesn't make me look crazy. Perhaps the other stylists at American Mortals are better, pay more attention, whatever...but I wouldn't recommend Sandi to my worst enemy. - Nicole , posted 01/20/07 |

By far, this is the best hair salon I have ever chosen. I had Joe. He was incredibly accommodating to what I wanted and what my hair could actually do. I have good hairdressers before, but they'v e always seemed a bit pretentious. But Joe (and the other hairdressers) totally puts you at ease. Plus, he gave me $20 off because it wasn't a 'full haircut.' The only downside to this salon is the parking situation. But if you want a good haircut, you do what you can. - Kyle , posted 06/29/06 |

American Mortals on 729 Walnut Street in CC is a great place to go if you're looking for something hip and contemporary but don't have a lot of money to spend. Most cuts are under $50, and the atmosphere is funky and fun. They've also got hair care stuff and interesting trinkets you can't find anywhere else--you can shop while you get snipped. - Joyce , posted 10/09/04 |
