Sundance Hairstylists

You haven’t lived until you’ve experienced the pleasures of a great shave at a barbershop. This past weekend, I went to sundance hairstylist to get a shave. I reclined in the plush old school barber chairs that had ash trays in the arm rests, a throw back to a time when people could smoke in public places. Then my shave commenced. The barber first wrapped a hot towel around my face. Next, the barber massaged in a lemon based cream to clean out my pores.
After that, several more hot towels were applied. By then, I was feeling nice and relaxed, on the verge of falling asleep relaxed. The barber then massaged in some cocoa butter to soften my beard. Next, the barber brushed a warm lather into my beard that smelled like man and not like that crappy artificial goo you buy in a can. The barber then took a straight razor and scraped my beard off for the closest, best shave I’ve ever had. Allowing another man to hold a razor to your neck is a good way to remind yourself that you’re alive.
To finish it all off, I got another hot towel wrapped on my face along with a final face massage with a soothing vanishing cream. When I stepped out of the shop, I felt like a new man, ready to take on the world.

OMG! DO NOT… DO NOT go to Sundance Hairstylists thinking you are going to get a manicure or a pedicure. You’ll be running to the drug store for polish remover! Signed up 8 girls for pedi’s and mani’s for a fun weekend while staying at the hotel across the street. Every single nail was botched. Polish all over their cuticles and toes. The manicure left one girl with polish on ²⁄₃ of her nails — no lie. Looked like a 4 year old did the polish job. They didn’t clean any instruments at all. Pedicure supplies were placed on the floor! Dirty facility! STAY AWAY!!! I went back to salon afterwards to get my money back… not a cent. Wasted almost $ 400! My daughter posted pictures of the epic failure of their manis and pedis. Pictures don’t lie!

I never write Unilocal reviews but this was ridiculous. 8 of us for a girls wknd decided to get our nails done. My sisters manicure consisted of one strip of nail polish down the middle of each nail. She missed one of my cousins toes completely and put the polish on her skin! (See pictures above). I went first and left after my appointment. When the girls showed me their nails we went back to the salon. The stylist, Julia’s, response was that we must have messed our nails up after leaving the salon. Really? 8 ppl messed all 10 of their nails? And what about the nails with polish just down the middle. Lol seriously? How are these ppl in business? also tools were placed on floor during pedicures and not cleaned in between customers.

I was staying at a hotel in Sundance Square the weekend of my wedding, so I booked an early appointment here for a polish change. I really figured no one could mess up a polish change. I was wrong.
My aunt decided she’d get pedicures, too, for herself and her daughter, and booked an appointment two hours ahead of mine. By the time I arrived, my aunt had one toenail done, and my cousin was still getting her feet soaked.
To speed things along, my aunt ended up painting her own daughter’s nails.
I brought the polish I wanted — and told the technician I just wanted two coats on each nail. It took her 20 minutes just to remove the red polish.
She was very chatty, even interrupting my conversation with my family. And whenever she talked, she would stop working. I started to get really nervous and I told her it was my wedding day and I had a lot to do.
I also had to ask her to make sure to paint the whole nail, as sometimes she just painted right down the middle and missed the edges.
Then, when I was turned around looking at my aunt, the technician took a glittery color and put it on my ring finger. Do you like what I did? — she asked me. No! I didn’t ! I told her so. And she told me it was the fad to get your ring finger a different color.
I was in a rush, and I had been very specific about what I wanted so I was really upset. But I just had her finish. It took her more than an hour!
When i finally rushed out the door, I was very careful with my nails. Half an hour later, they were fine, so I figured they were dry. But when I noticed them right before the wedding ceremony, the polish on the middle finger was messed up. She had globbed the polish on really thick.
Thank god, I didn’t let her file anything. My aunt did — and her nails ended up looking awful. I have never had an experience like that at a nail salon. It was BIZZARE.

I made an appointment here based on its proximity to the YWCA and the positive reviews, especially the one regarding a wedding updo. I was MOH and the bride kindly let us girls have free reign over how we wanted our hair to be styled. Being totally inept at beautification, I was hoping to have a professional give me some simple, loose curls, set it for the day with hairspray, and do so at a reasonable price.
When I got in the chair the comments started. On how long my hair is, how many split ends I have, but how gorgeous it is! On and on and on. The stylist would alternate between complaining about the length and volume of my hair, telling me repeatedly that I have split ends (I get it the first time…), and bemoaning her own most recent hair cut that she hates. I tried emphasizing that I wanted a very simple style and was on a schedule. However, she choose to use a very small curling iron, giving me a head full of Shirley Temple-​like curls. This process took 2 hours. It was made longer by her breaks to fix her own hair, grab magazines to flip through, and search for the coffee she brought in that morning.
When I first scheduled the appointment I was quoted $ 45, a price I was happy with. However, I ended up paying $ 65. Every half hour she would increase the price because I have «so much hair… man this is annoying to curl!» Not nice or necessary to hear.
Since I was in a rush, I begrudgingly paid her… and proceeded to finger-​comb the curls out because I looked like a runner-​up for an 80’s prom queen.
The wedding was beautiful and that’s really all that mattered in the end. But I will NEVER go back to this salon again.

This place was awesome! I had a conference to go to when I got to Forth Worth and this place was close by and left me looking great! I really liked the stories that were shared with me and to be sitting in the same seat as many famous people! I would highly recommend this experienced place for any haircut!

Joe has been cutting my hair for several months and every time I go in it has been a great experience. If you need a new barber, give Joe at Sundance Hairstylist a try, I bet you’ll like everything about it.

I am admittedly wary about commitment. Perhaps it’s a fault. I’m not sure I believe in monogamy or the institution of marriage; however, when I find a place that cuts my hair the way I want, listens to me, is accessible, affordable, and the people are nice then that place and I are forever entwined. As long as I can help it.
Sundance Hairstylists is within walking distance from me, but it’s not the only place I tested when I moved to Fort Worth. The other places just couldn’t «cut» it: Too rough. Too apathetic. Too much gel. Too pricey. Not Sundance Hairstylists, no sir (or ma’am). Really down-​to-​earth and great hours.
No one but Joe Guerrero cuts my hair! He may have invented hair, he’s a genius.

I never, and I mean never, get my hair done. I have what you call «ethnic» hair, meaning its kinky, thick as hell, and long. Not just any person can tame the beast on top of my head plus it takes precious time and money which I’m too lazy to invest. My friend’s wedding had a ’40’s/’50’s zoot suit pin-​up girl theme. I had the perfect dress and wanted to make a little extra effort to partake in the unconventional theme. I decided, after about eight years, I was going to get my hair done.
I had originally booked an appointment with another salon in Fort Worth. Upon finding Sundance Hairstylists across the street from the hotel we were staying at, I walked over to see if I could book an appointment to save myself a drive.
I had issues opening the door of Sundance Hairstylists which is disconcerting since I was sober. The barber opened it up and not quite sure what I wanted spewed out a bewildered «What can I do for you?» I asked if they styled hair for special occasions and he said they did. So far, so good. The barber pointed to a woman doing a customer’s nails. She asked what I wanted and I showed the picture. She then looked at my hair, what she had to tackle, and said she could do it for $ 50 rather than the posted price of $ 45. No probemo. I asked if I would be able to come in at 3:00 and she said I would. I am a skeptical person by nature and I reiterated that our appointment was at 3:00 and I needed her to pull through because I had a wedding to attend. She said she would be waiting for me.
2:50 and I’m back at the salon. I sit and the mission to get my hair looking good is underway. She begins to flatiron which takes about an hour and 15 minutes. Then she began to curl it which takes another 45 minutes. When the last few pieces of hair were being curled I grew a bit concerned because my hair looked nothing like the picture I had shown her. My fears were diminished when she began to comb it out to reflect the hairstyle in the picture. I’m looking pretty foxy!
My hairstylist was nice but didn’t make a whole lot of conversation with me. She mainly spoke to the barber or another friend who was sitting in the shop with us. She even talked on her cell phone a bit. I was put off a little but quickly got over it once she was done because she did a great job.
Sundance is great for walk-​ins and the stylist was able to create something mighty fancy out of something that usually looks like hay. I’m glad I was able to make an appointment due to location, price, and work.
