Fancy Cut

If you need a new favorite place with fabulous customer service, outstanding cuts and colors then come Courtney. I had been in Arlington for about 8 months and couldn’t find anybody with the skills I wild trust. I looked on Unilocal and found Courtney at fancy cut and was very pleased. Won’t go anywhere else!

Don’t be alarmed: The outside is very sketchy. I hope they are planning on moving their business to a more reputable location as soon as possible. They really need to upgrade their chairs at the washing station, too. Duct tape all over them! LOL Anyways… I made an appointment with either Lynn or Courtney and only had to wait about 15 minutes when I got here for one of them to finish their walk-​ins. I ended up with Lynn. My wedding is in a few days and I had a balayage done on my natural blonde 6 months back to give it some lighter tones mixed in with my natural golden blonde color. It’s grown out since, so when I came in I told her to do the balayage again. One glance at my hair and she knew that doing it again would mean my hair would potentially all break in half! I’m glad she didn’t just go for it because I’d be bald for my wedding. We decided on just some highlights to blend the lighter half of my hair into my natural gold roots again. Service was great and friendly. She even offered me some water which really came in clutch after working all day. There is a bit of a language barrier. I’m not very good with understanding thick Asian accents. but they are patient. PSA: they prefer cash or check, but they will accept cards as well! Lynn was very attentive and checked my foils several time to make sure we were blending well. Constantly asked about my comfort level. The results were perfect for my highlights. I’m fully ready to walk down the isle now… No unsightly roots to worry with! (And a fresh cut to get rid of all the breaking ends from my last bleach treatment.)

I got a blow out from Jenni. She curled my hair and it looks so beautiful! She asked lost of questions about my preferences. If I like any kind of product in my hair, if I like my bag straight or curled. She was very friendly too. Definitely a great experience.

I had gotten a pretty bad haircut from a local beauty school. My hair was short and the ends were really blunt and since my hair is so thick, it looked really bad. Courtney absolutely rescued me!
She listened super thoroughly to what I wanted. She made sure she understood what I wanted and she got to work. She seriously did an amazing job. She understood exactly what I meant: that I wanted the ends to be a lot thinner but I wanted to keep a lot of length. She told me that the person who cut my hair before didn’t know what they were doing. Haha. But she dramatically changed my hair. I am super pleased with it and I will definitely be coming back.
DO NOT BW DECEIVED BY THE UGLY JANKY OUTSIDE!!! Go in and see for yourself!

I, like others, gave this salon a try because of the great reviews. This last time will be my last time there as I called and made an appt. with Lynn (who I usually go to). When I got there Courtney approached me and sat me down and started to do my highlights. I let her know «Oh I have an appt. with Lynn», she said yea and that was it. There was no explanation to why they switched stylists on me. Okay. whatever… I’ve read great things about Courtney anyways. Well… big mistake. I felt like I almost died in there! Out of the 10+ years of getting highlights and color I’ve never gotten a chemical burn until now! Beware please! I paid $ 120 for her to burn my scalp!

After several months of contemplating and making calls to different salons, I finally set my mind on this one. I was able to get an appointment through the phone with no hassle and had very high expectations from the Unilocal reviews!
Environment is very low-​key. I wouldn’t call it fancy, but there’s a generous number of seats and plenty of room for movement in such a small vicinity. I was the first appointment in the morning, and the entire salon was spotless. There were already 2 people getting haircuts (both left extremely satisfied!) and after one person had a cut, the barbers would immediately sweep up and clean the area before inviting a new guest over.
I didn’t have to wait for more than 5 – 7 minutes for my hairdresser to get right to work. I had Courtney, who was super sweet and understanding. I’m always super skeptical and nervous when getting my hair done because I have very fine and thin Asian hair. Very susceptible to breakage when a hairdresser doesn’t handle it correctly. I showed a picture of the result that I wanted (haircut and color), and she immediately said, «I can do that, but I don’t recommend it.»
I was a little upset, as I had this perfect image in my head of how I wanted my hair to be after this salon visit. However, she explained to me the steps that needed to be done for my hair to achieve the same results, and it would’ve been way too harsh on my hair in one visit. She gave me an alternative recommendation and I took a leap of faith and went with it!
Courtney was super detailed and spent so much time making sure that everything was perfect! I loved how she wasn’t rushing through the process of coloring my hair and even spent a good 30 minutes conditioning my hair after the dying process. When she started cutting my hair after the wash, she was very precise and also cut my layers so that my hair wouldn’t be extra flat (my main issue). So much care was spent into the dye, cut, and style job that I promised to come back and find her!
Such a great experience. I didn’t leave with the hair that I had in mind, but instead, I received something better! I know for sure that Courtney will be my new permanent hair stylist! Highly, highly recommend her!

I explained how I wanted to grow out my short hair. Courtney took me right away. (I didn’t have an appointment) Its super cute and finally one length! I’m very happy and for $ 25 cut, shampoo, and style it’s a great deal. Will be back for a color soon.

Moved here recently and I found my new hair stylist here. Have tried a few other places and hadn’t been happy when I walked out. Leo got me fixed up. Thanks Leo.

I had a great first experience here! The lady who cut my hair did an amazing job doing what I asked. I was a bit worried since I was cutting off about 5 inches but she worked in the layers really well for my face shape.
Also, the price I paid was super affordable – a super plus! I’ll definitely be returning in the near future

Leo is the man! Came here about two months ago probably, and I will be returning very soon. First off, could not be happier with the price… $ 12. I mean that is cheaper than what I was paying at Supercuts… I drive farther to go here, but it’s so worth it. I usually just get a generic haircut and wanted to try something different but didn’t know what I wanted or anything. I told Leo that he had the freedom to do whatever he thought looked good, and the man killed it. I’ll be telling him to do something different next time too because I trust that he’ll do something great again. Definitely go here if you’re a guy, and book Leo!

Jenni did a wonderful job on the trim and blow out on my long, super thick hair! I have been to a few places that charge me more than the listed price because I have so much hair, but I didn’t experience that here. My services plus a 40% tip together were less than I paid for just the trim anywhere when I lived in Dallas. Totally recommend!

I got my hair cut by Lynn today. She was AWESOME. She took one look at my hair and knew exactly what it needed. The salon is clean and inviting, and everyone is so nice! They use great products and have very reasonable prices. Lynn took my tired, frizzy hair and turned it into a sleek, sassy, perfectly-​layered masterpiece. Yay for great hair stylists!

I’ve been jumping around from place to place to get my hair cut/​highlighted lately. And when I say «lately» I mean once every 4 months or so because I’m lazy when it comes to hair maintenance. But I like to try new spots and talk with new people when I finally muster the motivation to sit down for highlights, so Fancy Cut was my latest destination.
I called them because they have great Unilocal reviews and were close by, and they were able to get me in that afternoon. My stylist was extremely patient with me as I debated whether I wanted highlights or lowlights (I got both, ha), and then couldn’t decide whether I wanted purple or red «peekaboo» highlights. I chose red for the holidays! All of the staff was sweet, understanding, and working together to take care of their clients. At one point I had two people coloring my hair at once, which was awesome. You can clearly tell it’s a family-​run business and the team enjoys and respects one another.
I’m SO happy with how my hair turned out! Dark blonde, light blonde, a few vibrant red streaks, a little trim, and re-​layering. It only cost $ 130 for a full highlight (shoulder length hair) with two colors, the red peekaboo strips, wash, cut, dry, and style! I don’t know about you but that’s an amazing deal in my book. It’s not an upscale environment, it’s casual and comfy. More my speed — clean, friendly, affordable, and quality work.

This was the first time in 21 years that I didn’t cry from a haircut Lynn is amazing! I even drive from austin just to see her. I’ve had her do long bouncy layers and a short slanted bob, both were amazing. She can do anything! I have A LOT of hair and it’s curly and really thick, so it really says a lot that she can cut my hair perfectly!

Good service. Friendly staff. Cheap price. I was impressed :)

Great price and Service! Went in today at 10:30 no appointment and was taken right away, there were 3 other ppl in the salon getting cuts/​color by other stylists. Went straight to the back for a shampoo and then showed the stylist what I was going for. I wanted to go from my long curly hair to a short curly bob (think blindspot show girl) he asked if I wanted it as short as hers or longer and I told him whatever you think will be best, he recommended a bit longer based on my face shape. My cut came out perfect it looks exactly like I imagined! I was out of there before 11 all for $ 20+tip. I’ve never got in and out of salon so quickly and so happy.

I’ve been getting my hair cut here for a really long time, and I left satisfied every time! They know exactly how I want my hair, and they try to get to know you better when cutting your hair. All the workers there probably know me, my hairstyle, and what I do for a living. It’s much more than just a haircut, it’s really a full experience. And the prices are super affordable! It used to cost me $ 10, but now they raised it to $ 12, which is still very good. Definitely recommend to anyone needing a great, affordable haircut!

Courteous and knowledgable.
I came in from a failed attempt at highlighting from a box. Leo fixed it like it never happened and I agreed to his recommended highlights for what I wanted to achieve. Inexpensive and great job!

Took my wife to this place to get her hair fixed based on Unilocal reviews. While waiting she found the picture of how her hair should look and was excited. After a 15 minute conversation with the stylist on the difference between her current hair and the picture she had found, the stylist ended getting upset. She at that point told her she had never done a cut like this and she could not help her. Wow.
First of all if someone can’t do a style then they shouldn’t be working. Second, I would of figured she would of talked, consulted, or referred her to one of the other THREE stylists there. Not sure what to say.

Don’t be turned away by the area or the name of the salon. This place is on point! I came in wanting highlights and was very picky and a Lynn was able to do a phenomenal job! Not to mention it’s incredibly affordable! I’ve found my new salon!
