User Reviews for Progressions Hair Salon

I have been going to progressions hair salon for many years. I get my hair cut by Christine T. and I always leave there feeling pretty. I watch Bart her husband cut other peoples hair and he truly is a master at what he does-hes so awesome to watch. I always go to Chris because she does great medium length cuts on my hair. I got a medium bob yesterday and I feel great about the cut. It looks modern and sassy and i feel great and had to post a review because each cut I get from her is better than the last,and I dont know how that is possible but it is!!
Pros: great ambiance

I have long, layered hair (to the middle of my back), and I prefer to color it myself. So I needed a stylist who cut layers well, and didn't badger me to have my color done professionally, or become annoyed at me when I explain this. Bart, the owner of Progressions salon, turned out to be the answer to this particular prayer. Using a razor on my dried hair to do the shaping around the face, he gave me one of the best layered cuts I've ever had. And he did NOT push styling products, color, highlights, etc. on me after I explained that I color my own hair. In fact, he asked me which combination of Clairol Complements colors I mixed to get that particular shade. After a rather bad experience at Valerie's Salon down the street (during which Valerie pushed products on me continuously, told me that my nails needed attention, only cut the front of my hair because she said the back "didn't need it," and then charged me $60 an unimpressive cut), this was heaven. The atmosphere is a little rushed & tense--mainly because Bart has his stylists & assistants running around constantly to do his bidding. However, this habit allows him to concentrate fiercely on nothing but you and your hair--so if his employees can live with it, I certainly can! Another plus is that I was not asked to wait, and I was able to get in almost "last-minute" for a very early Saturday AM appt. This is an important plus for me as a busy working mom with a toddler. At $55 plus a healthy 20% (fairly earned) tip, the cut was expensive for me, as a poor academic :). But since this was a cut by the owner, a master stylist, I expected to pay a higher price for his expertise. And this was a far better value than similarly priced cuts I've received at Valerie's, Jean Paul Salon, Bellezza, and other area stylists over the last decade. Since I only get my hair cut 2-3 times a year--and, the guy is a GENIUS--it's absolutely worth it.
Pros: EXCELLENT cut, no pushing of high-priced products or procedures, flexible scheduling
Cons: Atmosphere a little bit rushed and tense; price moderately high, but a good value
