I found Numi from a group on. Unlike other places when they know you have a group on, they treated me warmly. I had spent years looking for someone who could cut my hair how I wanted it. I literally used to go back to Providence to get my hair cut because after 13 years in NY no one would consistently get it right. I described what I wanted to Gabriel and the very first time he got it spot on....probably one of the best cuts I've ever had. They grow in perfectly and even when it is too long it is manageable and looks ok. He has been consistent and spot on every time for almost a year now. He'd better not leave the area. And there is easy available street parking right there.

My appointment was with Gabriel. I brought in an exact picture of what I wanted (literally my hair from a year ago, not a celebrity picture but a picture of me) and said I wanted the same thing but more of an angle even if it ended up a little shorter in the back. I walked out with a weird swoop in the back instead of a straight across cut and much LESS angle. After he suggested softening the edges and I replied that I liked how blunt it was he continue to soften it anyway. I also specifically said I didn't want layers and again, he did it anyway. I flat iron my hair so when he blow dryed it I thought it would look better flat ironed. It did but still wasn't how I wanted. I was not happy with my haircut at all. I think Gabriel would be good to go to if you want to give him free rein, obviously he knows what he is doing, but he ignored what I wanted in favor of doing what HE thought was best. Even if he thinks something else would look better I brought in a specific style I have had in the past because I liked it and wanted it again. Very frustrating. I will not be going back.

I ordered a groupon for the Keratin Coppola Treatment from Numi and company. They did the treatment incorrectly. I researched the process and the correct way to do the treatment is to wash your hair, blow dry it, apply the product, sit with it under at cap for 30 min, then blow dry and then flat iron. They never dried my hair after washing it so they couldn't tell where they were putting the product. Also, because my hair was already wet, it didn't absorb the product. When they applied the product, the did it to huge sections of my hair and they’re supposed to apply it to very small sections of the hair. The process is supposed to take 2-3 hours. I was in and out of the salon in an hour and fifteen minutes. My hair is still frizzy and took just as long to blow dry and flat iron. I came into work the day after I shampooed it and every said it looked exactly the same as it did before I got the treatment. Beware if you are going there for this treatment.
