scruffy boy haircuts...

[clevernonsense.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking about trying out Salon Cu, in Ball Sq. I was wondering if anyone had a specific stylist to recommend or just feedback in general. I usually go for a scruffy/choppy/messy look (aka "the generic hipster") 

many thanks

good question! i really wanted to go somewhere more local than the South End..plus last time i went to get my haircut I asked for a cut that can go between super funky and professional (i was interviewing at the time) and she gave me a soccer mom hair cut :(

plus i don't trust Liquid to do hair color :)

i think i'll give them a whirl too...can't beat the location!

I too am looking for a liquid alternative!

I love love my stylist there, but when I first went there she was $20, she just raised her rates again to $50. I'm totally happy for her if she can keep up her clientload at that rate, but I cannot justify that for my scruff :)

too funny! who did you go to?

Melanie! And I will miss her if I do stop going there--she is great (and a great colorist from what my friend says). A coworker of mine also swears by the big male ownerman (I forget his name) for coloring.

She is worth $50 if you have a difficult look to go for or are really fussy/neurotic about your hair.

I have heard some bad things about some of the newer stylists there. No horror stories, just disappointments.

SHUT UP! That's who i go to!!!!! hehehehe

I mean seriously I won't talk smack about her because she's given me some really masterful chic funky haircuts...she's absolutely great. But the last cut was SO disappointing...within about 10 days it grew out and started to look like a mullet. And I specifically said I didn't want ANY length in the back.

But again I just don't trust getting color done there so I need a 1 stop stylist :)

I love my old stylist but the new salon he opened is a little too stuffy for my taste :)

Liquid did some of the best color I've ever had on my hair!

well (and this honestly isn't meant snarky at all) i'm psyched for you because i've had 3 people i know have disasterous hair color experiences there...one actually had her scalp burnt...so liquid is a no for me on color :o)

i mean maybe it was a coincidence, but 3 people i know personally who had major issues is kind of a lot for me :o)

plus i'm still pretty pissed about the soccer mom cut :oP
