Umm...what exactly is 5 stars about this place?
1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

I have gone to Globe several times for a bikini wax & twice for a haircut. I have no complaints about the wax, everything was great (a little pricey though & the technician insisted that I come in every 2 weeks, that can add up in $). Now regarding hair. My technician was recommended to me by the token snooty receptionist (I told her I didn't want anyone too trendy). She recommended Megan. First, appointment was pretty decent. I have very long hair and told her from the beginning I wanted to keep it that way. She could sense I was nervous so she was extremely conservative & I appreciated that. So I felt like I could trust her after that to be more aggressive. The second time I went in & tried my hardest to explain that I wanted layers, she was just not having it (I think hairstylists think long hair is "sooo boring and just sits there"). Anyway, we ended up sort of agreeing on an idea. Now here's the kicker, she DID NOT want to wash my hair. She told me she was going to dry cut it (which is fine) but I assumed that meant washing/drying or cutting it & then washing/drying it. I had gone to a club the night before & my hair reaked. She said she didn't have time. Finally, she said she'd have the assistant wash it after she dry cut it. The haircut was ok minus her 'tude. After that, the assistant washed my hair & it took her a good hour to dry it (even for long hair that was a biiitt mmuuchh). Then she wanted to show me how to use a curling iron (whoop-dee-doo!). I tried to tell her my hair is super straight & won't curl. To prove that to her it took about 20 minutes (time to heat up the iron which she couldn't find & start sweating as she realized my hair doesn't bend). Finally, we agreed on a flat iron to smooth everything out. I flat iron my hair in 5 min. at home it took her a good 20. So I spent 2+ hours getting irritated & left with a trim and a bad flat iron job. I tipped both of them, don't ask me why. Bottom line: NEVER AGAIN!

Pros: Close to my house, pretty clean

Cons: Stylist was easily irritated and assistant moved like a sloth

Response from this business

Our entire staff cares about every guest, every day.

While we are puzzled as to why "everything was great" on several visits yet you rated us one star, we're truly sorry your expectations were not met. There are several reasons Megan -- one of our most referred and detail-oriented stylists -- might not shampoo you, but we have several licensed Assistants on the floor at all times to ensure we provide full service to every guest, which includes shampoo, essential conditioning, and a standard blowout/style. Additionally, our staff is trained to suggest an appointment interval to achieve the best results, but the guest is clearly free to decide. I encourage potential guests to view all anonymous reviews with a critical eye, whether positive or negative. We always do everything we can to satisfy every guest, and I invite this guest to call me personally to discuss this visit and see what we can do to that end. As always, we will do so with pleasure and without attitude. -James P. Reza, GM
