j.r.'s spa and salon

I came to get my haircut yesterday for the first time in about 2 years. I have natural curls and could never find anyone that was cutting it right. I called and got hooked up with Karen. I left feeling pretty and confident and have not complained once about my hair! Thank you Karen!!

I booked an appointment for my first Deva Cut with Scarlet. She took the time to explain step by step what she was doing and why. Helped me get rid of the dreaded "triangle"! Love the shape and style! I will be back!

At first I thought that my stylist Scarlet may not have been Deva trained (she's not listed above), but she mentioned the class and knew the cleansing and styling method. But instead of cutting curl by curl, she cut my hair in sections which she fingercombed and pulled taut first. Considering I lose curl definition easily, it seemed to defeat the purpose of cutting dry. And she cut my not-so-curly underlayer wet before styling. She did tweak the cut by trimming a few curls individually after styling. But honestly she did get more volume and curl definition than I do at home and after I restyled my hair, I really did like the cut and the layering. I saw 5 other stylists combing and cutting curly hair wet, 2 of which straightened the hair and then used a curling iron to style it. Maybe that's what their customers want, but for a salon where seemingly the entire staff is Deva trained, it made me cringe. When I booked, I specifically asked for someone trained knowing a dozen are listed above. But the receptionist said Scarlet is the one that typically works with curly hair. The whole experience struck me as they know the method and the products, but none of them want to spend the time it takes to cut curl by curl (it took 2 hours as is with my fine, collarbone length hair). I would go back to Scarlet, but if you want the tried and true Deva experience, this salon isn't for you.
