Has anyone been to Curve Salon? How was the customer service? Did they do a good job? How much did it cost? I'm planning on visiting NY after I graduate and was thinking about getting their Angle/Balance cut because by then my hair will be close to the length I'm growing it out to.
For any who have had the Angle/Balance cut how has it worked out for you?
Hi,
I've been to Curve a number of times and have had a variety of services. The angle and balance cut... hmm, how can I break it down. If your hairdresser, blows out your hair and ensures that all sides are even that's an angle and balance cut, the only exception is that Miko creates angles on the side with a razor and then uses a scissors for other sections. They are very nice, very professional, expect to be there a long time though. The salon is beautiful, umm let's see what else, the prices are freaking high BUT if you are getting a service other than a haircut to me it's worth it. I loved the cut the first time that I had it done, it made styling a breeze and I loved the shape, as it grew out, I didn't like it as much because while my hair looked great in a wash n go, if I decided to wear twists then it looked funny. IMO their cuts are made for folks who are interested in wearing their hair out only (unless you have a certain length or texture). I think what I appreciate the most from Curve is their attentiveness, when they are working on you, the concentration is on you... period. I have another hairdresser who I love, she does a remarkable job and is really cheap but I spend long hours at her salon because she yaps way too much with other patrons, stylists, etc. Anyhoo, I don't want to make this into a novel but between the two sisters, Titi is a doll. Miko is nice but when you hear of "attitude" from the salon, more than likely it's coming from her, however, I hope that doesn't scare you away, in general she's nice. If you have any other questions, feel free to pm me and I hope that I've answered everything.
Oh one more thing, in regards to the silkener. Although Curve made the name pretty and it's just another name for a texturizer, everything is about the timing. I would rather trust someone who spends their time doing this day in and day out then leaving it say myself to do. That's something to consider especially when it's your first time and your hair is of a certain length.
