Great haircut!

by iamjentastic at Citysearch

I moved to El Paso in January and have visited two other local hair stylists. One by referral and one I found online - both were terrible. I stumbled upon Carmen online last week and and decided I would give her a try. After the last two experiences I literally was ready to fly back to my hometown for a haircut if I didn't get a good one today - luckily I was happily surprised!

It was easy to get an appointment, and the service I received was excellent! We spent about 5 minutes discussing my hair, what I wanted, what color length & style. I hadn't had a cut/color for 3 months bc my last cut was so terrible and I wanted enough to grow out so the next person could salvage it. I'm thankful I took a chance on this salon!!

Carmen was wonderful, the color was just what I asked for and a little better than I expected. She gave perfect even highlights and natural looking as I asked. I love the cut, it's super cute and easy to style. I don't understand the people that said she doesn't know how to cut hair or listen - she was the first person in this town that actually did listen to me! She asked questions throughout the whole process to taylor the style and service to my needs. She did talk to me the whole time, but I don't see how that is a negative, isn't that what a hair dresser is supposed to do??

Overall, excellent cut. Worth the drive and I will be back! I'm glad I found her through google and not this site, if I had seen the reviews here I may never have gone and would have missed out on a good cut.

• Pros: Fast service, great hairdresser, good color, will be back!!
• Cons: Not close enough to my house

Lots of Blahblah - No Haircutting Skills

by Desertcat11 at Citysearch

I cannot agree more with the previous reviewers

CSMobileuser and Sharanne. Carmen definitely does not listen to what customers want and does her own thing without asking. I will NEVER go back there again.

After reading all the good comments about this salon, I went there last May. I had asked for caramel accents and a haircut which resembled the Nicole Richie bob.

Instead of accents I got lots of thinly weaved lowlights which made me look like a redhead. I was devasted.

The haircut did not resemble what I wanted either.

She had left the hair way too long for it to look right.

She has no haircutting skills whatsoever. The

only thing she is good at is b.s.ing customers.

I paid over 100 Dollars for a crappy hairstyle.

I was also surprised to learn that she had only 1 or 2 employees. The other reviews had made me believe

it was "THE trendy salon to go to". In reality it is not so at all. Just a small hole in the wall with dusty rock'n'roll memorabilia here and there. A successful , modern and professional hairsalon looks different to me.

• Pros: Nice person
• Cons: Doesn't listen, talks too much, doesn't know how to cut hair
