I was very disappointed with my first trip to Steve Hightower. As a young woman, facing the fact that your hair is falling out is extremely scary. I was nervous but hopeful he might have some answers, at least for how to disguise thinning hair on top of my head. After reading all of these reviews touting his personalized service, I was expecting more of a "consultation" than what I got: a 90-second sales pitch for an unproven hair-growth spray and a few seconds to recommend a hair style. No conversation, just, "How about this? All right? Okay." Still, I was willing to take his advice and let myself be amazed by the outcome. I was only amazed by how little care he seemed to put into my haircut and how quickly he rushed me out. I wanted a new look that would make me feel less bad about my hair thinning: I got a satisfactory trim for $90. He spent a total of two minutes cutting my hair, and that is not an exaggeration. My hair looks fine, but not anything special that you wouldn't see coming out of GreatClips. I have no new tips for how to wear my hair or style it in different ways, only a huge sense of regret that I wasted my time and money. (although not TOO much time). I wish I hadn't been too shy and disappointed to tell him so in person. I left feeling like I have to now go get a real haircut. I will not be going back to someone who barely has two minutes to consider what I might want to look like. On the plus side, everyone else was very nice, and the decoupage floor in the back room is gorgeous. Not enough to get me to go back there for a haircut.
Pros: friendly staff, nice atmosphere especially in the back room
Cons: instead of consultation got sales pitch and super-quick, impersonal cut; price
