Review: A random visit to Zeal Salon
At first my husband and I were supposed to pay a visit and try Hive yesterday, but they don't open on Tuesdays. Since we don't have time to go there on another day, we decided to try Zeal then. Overall it wasn't super bad but definitely it is NOT a good experience.
The owner/receptionist randomly picked two gals for us, I had a Japanese hairstylist and my hubby had a Chinese gal. Obviously they have two rankings: Master Haircut ($40/$45) & Haircut ($35/$40). So my guess is the more $$$ one is done by the owner.
Well their service is ok, but you have to pay the price for their 門面工夫 such as a detail form for you to fill out for your 1st time visit (sounds like they "wanna" know you more) & a message chair for shampooing, that's all.
So let me first talk about my gal, who is the better one, her name is Rxi. From our conversation I knew that she is having a Visa to work and study here temporarily, her English is no good. She is a very nice gal, talked a lot but from how she 落剪 i knew she is not experienced. To me I don't feel very comfortable because she is only an inexperienced temporary staff in the salon. But suen la in my mind, I thought if the haircut is good, I don't mind to pay, maybe she is an unpolished gem?!?!?! Well at the end my guess was wrong, the haircut I got is very very simple, very simple like a trimming! Then why bother ask me to fill out the form, asking me "Do you like your current hairstyle?" and I did write "NO" on there! But I do appreciate for her customer service and trying very hard to talk to me in 1/2 English 1/2 Japanese.
About my hubby's hairstylist, her name is Gxxxxa. He said he would give her only 3/10 wor. He got pissed off because from how she cut his hair she looked like it was her 1st time doing it... very slow, very unsure. She kept totally silent for the whole time except "Hello, I am Gxxxxa." & "How would you like?". At the end the haircut was like the same my huddy had in Chinatown for $10 (incl tips)!!!!! Plus BONUS, the 髮尾 and sideburn is visibly unbalanced and we had to go back and ask for a re-trim. I can tell the owner/receptionist was pretty unhappy about her cut.
So this is our experience of paying $80+ for one chinatown cut and one trimming by 2 Juniors of Juniors.
To me my hair doesn't look bad but I am sure no one will know I had a $40 cut yesterday gum lor. My hubby and I regret we went there. You go or not, you decide la hahahaha
