*****MUST MENTION AD WHEN BOOKING APPOINTMENT******

I started going to Zach for my cuts after a friend recommended him in June of 2007. The salon has a nice environment, a great location and is an Aveda salon, all of which appealed to me. I had some good cuts from Zach, and some bad cuts. The bad ones sound similar to the reviews other people have made, cut way shorter than we talked about, dry cut way too many layers in and thinned out my already thin hair too much, had a scheduling problem at least once and had someone waiting the entire time he was doing my hair and left me feeling like he rushed through my cut, but the last one that made me not return was when he cut what was supposed to be a shorter face framing layer way too far back to go all they way behind my ears, giving me the puppy dog ear look. I switched to another salon and had to go through two cuts to fix that problem.



Other than the cuts being hit or miss, I would not return to this stylist because of his wholly unprofessional conduct. He had always been friendly and nice to me in the salon, I thought we had a good rapport, and I had referred new clients to him. I only found out after I had stopped going to him that he had taken the time to make personal calls to two of his clients who know me and spread vicious gossip about myself and my boyfriend, whom he has never even met. I of course heard about this from the two people he called because they were my MOTHER and one of my good friends. Zach told my mother, who was also his client at the time, that he suspected my boyfriend of doing drugs. Zach has not ever talked to or met my boyfriend, I don't use drugs and never discussed drugs with Zach, his allegations are entirely untrue, and frankly it is not any of his business, as a hair dresser, even if it had been true. I was absolutely floored to hear my mother and my friend tell me that Zach had called them solely to gossip about me. I am, by the way, a 28 year old, self sufficient, successful business woman. Had I been a minor and he felt I was in danger, I MIGHT see his actions differently. In addition to the salacious gossip he started, he also commented to my friend about my hair having tangles in it when I came in to see him one time which he described to my friend as "s*x hair". I find any discussion of my s*x life (which had never been a topic of conversation between the two of us, if you were wondering), to another client HIGHLY unprofessional under any circumstances and plain rude. I had no disagreements or complaints with Zach or the salon before this and cannot see anything I have done or said that would motivate him to act like this. I now am left to wonder what gossip he may have also been spreading to other clients who are friends that I referred to him. If you choose to see Zach watch out because he has no sense of professionalism or boundaries and may try and meddle in your life the way he did with mine. I have heard of hair stylists gossiping before, but never like this.
