Apr 12, 2010 - I reviewed this salon about six months ago, after I had been going there about a year, but since Anthony has started cutting my son and daughter's hair, I wanted to review again. So, he's been cutting my hair for about 18 months, I guess. I found him on this website, and it was the greatest thing ever. I love my curls. He did more than dry cut my hair, he taught me to take care of my hair. Not washing it everyday, how to dry it properly, etc. Everyone I know comments on how soft and healthy my hair looks, where used to it was hard and crunchy curls with tons of product, now it's minimum product. I am no longer afraid to go swimming, because my curls will be gone! He is extremely professional and always spends time looking to see what is necessary, instead of scheduling color/cut every six weeks. Sometimes, I think "Don't you need the money? You should cut it more.", but he wants the curls to grow where they are cut at the right time. I WILL say, since lots of people have complained about the different lengths, my hair looks GREAT curly, but with this type of cut, I am unable to do it straight anymore. There are just too many layers. My son is 2.5 years old. Anthony gave him his first cut because I was worried about what to do about his curls. It was a cute cut, but I didn't think much of it, so I took him to a kid salon and a Pro-cut type salon twice and they butchered it. I was so frustrated, so I drove 45 minutes back to Arlington and over the past six months, Anthony has patiently worked with his hair until it grew, and now he has the cutest cut ever. Anthony is so patient and creative, because 1.) He is not a kid-cuts, but he obliges me. 2.)I had no idea how to cut a curly haired boy's hair, but he looked at it for a long time and made suggestions before cutting it and now we LOVE it. My husband who could care less about haircuts, LOVES it and doesn't want me to take him anywhere else. As far as straight cuts, the same goes for my daughter (4.5yo) I took her to kid cut places and they cut it straight across the bottom. She has straight hair with lots of body. Anthony cuts it in a really cute style for her age and dries it straight, to where if I had straight hair, I would want it like hers. As far as customer service, I went to this salon back in 2001 to the owner's son. I was traveling with work a lot and had to reschedule several appointments and might have missed one appointment, if that. Mostly it was rescheduling. I was "fired" as a client. It was VERY odd. I have never had that happen in a customer service industry. In fact, when I realized it was this salon when I found raving reviews about Anthony, I was apprehensive about booking. But, I am so glad I did. Susan is very friendly and I have had to reschedule a few times, due to having two kids and my own business. I pray I never get "fired" again because I am really, really happy with Anthony.
