Nica & Sam Hair Salon Reviews

This is some text inside of a div block.

I really dislike leaving negative reviews, but my hair was botched so bad I wouldn't want to wish this on my worst enemy-- so PLS READ before visiting. I had 4 short days in NYC and wanted to get my split ends trimmed. I made an appt with Nica & Sam Salon after seeing the glowing reviews. They took me in the same day with an older Russian lady named Nicole. Nicole was stoic, inexpressive, and dismissive, even when I tried to make small talk (but that's ok I thought--not related to quality or haircuts). I requested for toning + cut. Nicole cut my hair rather quickly and then proceeded to do a blowout (+heated curling iron) without asking me. By the time I noticed, I asked her to stop since I didn't request that, and she said that she already did half of my hair so just let her finish. It looked good but I just didn't ask for that... and usually after getting a haircut I'm used to seeing the hair straight to see how it was cut. So she ended up charging me for the blowout that I didn't ask for-- which I ended up being OK with since it looked good, but in retrospect that was sus. But after washing my hair and seeing the cuts without the curls, I immediately visited my hair stylist after returning to California to fix the mess she made. *These photos were taken in my California salon.* The layers are not symmetrical at all and they are so choppy and random. There are gaps in the the cuts -- it's just very poorly done. I can't speak for other stylists since I only had experience with Nicole. But stay away from her for haircuts.
