Awful

by teg08 at Citysearch

My experience at Urban Gypsy was terrible. I made an appointment a couple of weeks ago for a special that included a cut, full coloring, highlights/lowlights, and a brow wax. On the day of my appointment, I was on time but my stylist wasn't. I showed her a few pictures of what I wanted my hair color to be (blonder than what I was, all-over color to cover up my roots, natural-looking highlights/lowlights) and told her explicitly that I DID NOT want to take much length off my hair, that all I wanted was a trim and a few layers to make my hair look full and healthy. However, she didn't end up doing anything that I asked for. First she told me she wouldn't fully color my hair (even though I had noticeable brown roots and was aiming for bright blonde) because it would be lower maintenance to just do highlights/lowlights every so often. Although she chose nice shades, her work overall was pretty bad, not at all thorough. (From where the dye starts in some places you can see that the foil was positioned about .5-1 inch away from the scalp. I know that it is difficult to get really close to the scalp when doing high/lowlights but she REALLY missed the mark. Plus, highlights/lowlights do not mask roots as well as she had me believe) After she finished dying my hair she gave me the worst hair cut I?ve ever had. She only took about 10 minutes to do it, cut inches off (even though I specifically said I did not want to take off any length because I want to grow my hair out), and made blunt cuts. I was in a hurry so I didn?t have her dry my hair which turned out to be a HUGE mistake because when I got home and dried it I realized that it was incredibly uneven. The left side was significantly longer than the right and both sides were jagged. Chucks had been left uncut! Also, even though I only received highlights/lowlights and a cut (she denied me a full coloring and I opted out of the brow waxing) I still paid the same price as the special+tip! Ridiculous. Don't go.

• Pros: Nice staff, nice atmosphere
• Cons: One stylist who should not work there

Jessica the Hair Doctor

by Eric G at Citysearch

I have been going to Jessica for six years. There are many people cutting hair out there, some in the quickie inexpensive places and others in elaborate expensive salons. She demonstrates not only a skill for working with hair, but possess an abundant knowledge which she intuitively uses when working with hair. The result is that Jessica is able to work with my hair to achieve an incredible hair cut of which I am proud. Thus, I call her the hair doctor.

• Pros: see comments
• Cons: n/a

Jessica-Great Hair Stylist

by Mollyollie at Citysearch

I have had Jessica cut and style my hair for a few years now and have always been happy with the outcome. Even when the style grows out, the cut is so good that my hair is still manageable. I have recommended Jessica to many people, and will continue to do so. As for the salon, the Urban Gyspy staff have always been very friendly and quick to schedule me when I call.

• Pros: Listens to what you want

Mary Ann Havens Rocks!!!!

by smogush at Citysearch

I've been going to Mary for awhile now and everytime I step out of the salon I'm even more thrilled than the last time!!! Sometimes I go in not knowing exactly what I want to do with my hair and tell her to try something new and it's perfection every time!!! She knows exactly what to do! When I started going to her, I had horrible, dry, course, brittle hair and now it's healthy, shiny, and looks great!!!! Mary and the staff at Urban Gpysy are great!!! I definitely recommend them to everyone!!!

• Pros: Great color, great cuts, and just all-around AWESOME!!!

I have been with Jessica for over 8 years, if I am counting correctly. I have always received excellant treatment and a beautiful cut. She also colors my hair and I have received many compliments on the natural looking of the color.

Great Haircut

by jknott2009 at Citysearch

I recommend Jessica at urban bypsy. She is one person who actually listens to what you want and doesn't just cut your hair. I have been going to her for 5 years now and have always been happy.

Jessica

by tmoreau at Citysearch

I've been going to Jessica Hendricks for quite a few years now, and have NEVER left after cut, color, highlights or whatever I came for without being 100% satisfied. Jessica will listen to what you want done and will do just that--however in my case she is fantastic in guiding you if you are looking for suggestions.

Painless eyebrow waxing and shaping; and as close to painless as you can get for lip waxing!

Honestly, since my first cut with Jessica I've not been to anyone else-and couldn't imagine having to.

When Jessica moved to Urban Gypsy I was a bit concerned how the atmosphere would be, but no need for my worries; Urban Gypsy is a very relaxed comfortable atmosphere and I would recommend it to anyone!

• Pros: comfortable setting; jessica hendricks

haircut simple and speedy

by aeismith at Citysearch

I had never been in the salon before, and I was able to somehow explain the type of hair cut that I did not want. Jessica did a great job interpreting the type of hair cut that i was looking for. The best thing about this cut, was that it was all very realistic. She didnt use a round brush--that i so impossible to use, or products that I dont already have. She had a realistic approach to the cut and style, and implemented it in a way, that I could copy once I got home. She used the most basic products, mousse, and hair spray. It was easy for me to come home and recreate the style. I will return, as Jessica was efficient and innovative as a stylist.
