Haircuts are very hit or miss. It really depends on the hairdresser you get. I usually go with my mom and most of the time they do okay/good. But the hairdresser my mom had this evening absolutely messed her hair up. My mom asked for long layers and she cut a short layer across her head. She kept explaining that once she styles it it will look better but it won't. She also kept trying to justify her mistake by saying she was working with what the last hairdresser had done but my mom has not had her hair cut in months. The other hairdresser came over to try to fix what she did but it didn't do much at all except blend it a little. They ended up comping her haircut but the damage is already done. The hairdresser didn't even apologize for messing up she just kept trying to tell my mom it wouldn't of looked good if she did long layers. My mom is deeply upset about how it came out since she has been growing her hair out for a long time. Use your best judgment with who you let cut your hair!!

I took my two sons and my nephew for haircuts at the Las Estancias location, and everyone there was so kind and professional! All of the haircuts turned out great. I’d especially like to give a big shoutout to Samantha, my youngest son has fine hair with several natural color variations, and not everyone knows how to work with it. Samantha did an amazing job making his hair look so smooth and clean. Thank you to the whole team for such a great experience!
