Meghann listened intently, worked with me on what it would take to execute the ideal cut, and even taped the pictures up at her work station for reference. Each was a different beast entirely, but I wanted some sort of hybrid haircut. Upon arriving for my cut and color (about a week after the initial consultation), I unloaded about five different pictures on Meghann. I decided to go for it: a chin length, textured cut and a nearly chocolate color. She made room in her schedule to consult me after the brow wax. I was curious about a drastic cut and color, I told her. I was introduced to Meghann Holland who greeted me with sincerity and professionalism. One day, while downtown, I decided to check out Alter Ego for a brow wax and maybe a consultation. Two months ago my hair was well below my shoulders and relatively blonde. When did "classic" become outdated? I really wanted the search to be over. The quest continues to find someone that understands that there is something between a buzz cut and some silly, ultra trendy looks. It is so incredibly hard to find someone that can do a good men's haircut in this city. Again, lovely people (including my stylist here who is so very nice), but the results were what I would expect from a $10 chop shop. In that case, I recommend passing on the experimentation and forwarding on the client to someone that can do justice to what they want. I can understand not every stylist may have the skills for certain things. Not to mention the pronounced break in the back that looks like something I would have expected from Super-Cuts.
The crown was butchered, way too short and may be weeks before it will lay down again. Instead, lots of thinning, no point cutting and now I have a bit of a weight line on the sides and no blend. I wanted no loss of length on the top, just a bit of texturing. I typically ask for scissor over comb to do the sides and back, here I got either a lot of thinning shear or clippers. Instead of a taper, the sides and back were clippered all the way to the top, one length. I thought this time we could advance and get closer to what I wanted. A simple concept tapered short on the sides and back, longer on the top (3-4 inches), parted at the side. Unfortunately, this one was simply awful! I wear a classic, men's tailored haircut.
I will say, the first was at least in the ballpark and I figured after it grew out a bit and having the same stylist again, maybe a connection would be made. Instead, I hung in there for a second visit. Now, it would be easy to criticize after one visit. Unfortunately, the results were just not there. Everyone is delightful and very friendly, the space is in a great location, and it has a very cool vibe.
