Crazy Mullets Super Salon

This review is about a haircut from Nov. 2015. My third time at Crazy Mullets, I had an appointment with Brett, who had cut my hair both times previously. Despite having mixed reviews on here, Brett had always been pleasant and attentive during my other appointments. Before we started this time, we talked about what I wanted, a long bob. We looked at at least four reference photos I brought on my phone. My hair was midway down my back at this point and I was ready for a bit of a change. During the talk, I said I was ok with a slight angle, but I specifically said I did not want a normal or angled bob, I had had those cuts before and that was too short. I felt certain that we were on the same page. After a wash, Brett started cutting and kept chatting away with me. I paid around $ 44 for the cut, and tipped $ 8, if I remember correctly.
I wasn’t thrilled, but I tried to reserve judgement until I got home and washed my hair. I’ve had bad haircuts before, but never anything as bad as this. I’ll let the photos speak for themselves. I was obviously unhappy, and the next day, I called and said my cut felt uneven — which to me was about the nicest way I could have put it. Brett was working that evening but didn’t have any time so another stylist took me.
Here’s what got me the most.
When I got to CM, Brett’s chair is the first one behind the entrance. He saw me. He watched me check in and wait. He ignored me. He was with a client, so benefit of the doubt, right? But during the hour or more I was there, his client was finished, he swept, had some time, then another client. He must have walked past the chair I was sitting in at least six times and never once spoke to or acknowledged me. I had not been rude or nasty when I called and I had not complained about him as a stylist. Even when talking to the stylist who was fixing the cut, I didn’t badmouth him. When he had passed by the third or fourth time and blatantly ignored me, I did finally express my frustration to her that I was being treated rudely for something that wasn’t my fault.
The stylist who recut my hair was wonderful, and I felt badly because I had already determined I wasn’t spending another penny on this terrible cut, but Brett owes her the tip I gave him, at a minimum. I’ve never negatively reviewed a person or company before and the sad part is if this had ended with just a terrible haircut, I probably would have let it go. But customer service matters, and this was a very poor experience.

Recently took my 17yr old son her for a «hipster» haircut he was trying to achieve. I believe the young lady was Chelsea who cut his hair. I was referred to Crazy Mullets my current hair girl. My son was pleased with his hair cut and has considered going back.
Side Notes:
— no frills type of salon
— small/​tight space in the waiting area
— good product selection to buy from (high end products)
— plywood floors (seemed odd but call me crazy if you will)

I started coming here a couple of months ago and have been very happy with my cut. I have thick curly hair (i.e. DIFFICULT) and have a hard time trusting sylists to cut my hair and know what they’re doing. I’ve had a great experience thus far and have definitely found my Cleveland area stylist.
Also, I’m originally from out of town and was shocked by how cheap the prices are too. Win-​win on so many levels.

Really liked my cut from Chelsea W. She really understood my hair (not thick but lots of hair with a slight wave). Gave it some style and was super nice. Will definitely go back.

I went in wanting to get my hair dyed but mistakenly only booked a cut (this was my first time getting my hair dyed so I didn’t know what I needed to do), but Jaclyn was an absolute saint and was able to accommodate me to get it done. She did a fantastic job, especially with my request coming on such short notice, and I highly recommend her to anyone.
From what I could tell from my first visit, the rest of the stylists are super friendly and laid-​back, so there weren’t any moments of awkward silence or uncomfortable feelings while I was in there. I also feel like I would be comfortable having any of the other stylists dye or trim or do whatever to my hair and still have an incredible job done and a great overall experience, as they take their job very seriously while remaining very conversational and friendly.
Though I may not always visit this place just to get a haircut just because it’s out of the way for me to drive there (I live in Huron and it’s about a 45 minute drive), I know for sure if I want my hair professionally dyed or styled or anything else that requires more work, my first choice will always be here.

Horrible! Took my 2 year old son for a «trim.» She didn’t even consult me before cutting away. After watching her take the first snip with more than 2″ of hair, I stopped her and due to the location of the first snip it was hopeless to fix it. My poor baby boy now looks like he’s going away to the military at 2 years old, and with no bangs! He also got a rash all over his body because she didn’t wipe down the hair. Why isn’t there a good childrens salon in the area? Unreal!

Clean salon friendly receptionist

Everyone is generally very nice, and the stylists are always patient with me. I did walk in a few days ago and the gent at the desk wasn’t very kind to me. He was very dismissive, and really kind of rude.

Too be quite honest I judged this place before I even stepped foot into the place. I never wanted to attempt to get my haircut here because I thought it was for hipsters and the artsy folk who want to dye their hair crazy colors and get crazy haircuts. So I apologize for making the assumption.
While people do come in here and get crazy colors (because they do offer them where other salons don’t) and I am sure people do get crazy cuts, this place is awesome. I love that they rock out to good tuneage and they have a fun, upbeat vibe.
A friend recommend I try this place out because (gasp) I hadn’t gotten my hair cut in over a year! I love it here and don’t want to go anywhere else. The prices are amazing too!
So don’t pre judge this place like I did and go check it out! They will even do kids cuts.

I had to choose a new place to get my hair cut in Lakewood. I am a simple guy and only needed a simple cut. There are tons of barbershops and hair salons, both chains and private to choose from. After searching online and trying to weed through the reviews, the only thing that caught my attention was John at CM. I gave it a shot and have been very pleased. John is really an excellent stylist (although I don’t really need a «style»). In my opinion he is technically excellent. He is very thorough and listens to what I want done. He is engaging and seems to have his head on straight. I would recommend him, but from a selfish standpoint I don’t want to wait to get an appt because he is so busy! I look at the empty chairs around him and know people recognize a professional.
They also recognize who is not. The salon itself is only mediocre. it is not the cleanest I have been in. What once probably was a comfy couch now seems more like a left over frat house couch. The styling stations are screwed in place (will they decide to leave on their own?). Very weird. Seems like they are running on a shoestring budget, and it shows. I don’t need fancy. Just up to date and clean would work well.
It does not have the most professional staff. I have walked in early for appts only to see lunch being ordered as the main event of the moment. That itself is not as bad as when I have walked in and seen lunch being eaten at the receptionist desk! Gross. The receptionists dress like they just rolled off the curb from a hard night out.
I have never interacted with the female stylists, so I can’t offer anything. There is another male stylist who would make me walk out before he touched my hair. He very well may be a gifted stylist with a loyal following. But I don’t know how I can trust someone to care about my personal image when they clearly don’t care about their own. He dresses so unprofessional I couldn’t tell you if he was a stylist or a guy ordering a cup of coffee.
In closing, John Is really a talented and professional stylist. He warrants all the excellent reviews he gets. He likely could step out on his own, or move to a higher end salon, and continue to build his client base (and make a lot more money).
CM, you have someone you should be thankful you have in your salon. Now get the rest of the place and staff up to standards.

I loved the girl that cut my hair!

I just had a great time here. Got a cut and color (partial highlights) on a whim because I needed a refresher. I didn’t ask for a certain stylist, rather, spoke with the front desk and said what I needed. They fit me in with Chelsea. She was adorable, listened, explained as she worked and gave me a great style. The price cannot be beat either. If I got the same do at a «high brow» salon I would have still been happy, yet my wallet would have cried.

Went today for the first time on something of a whim. Jaclyn was my stylist, and really hair therapist. She saw what my last hair dresser did (at a different salon, the worst cut in my experience) and explained exactly how she was going to fix it! She even gave me a game plan for long term how to achieve the look I want. Definitely will be keeping true to this place! Great location, small, not too loud, all friendly staff. And, of course, really great stylists.

All of the stylists are wonderful and do amazing work. I love watching clients that are there before me and while I’m there transform. The atmosphere is very bright and lively. EVERYONE gets along and helps each other out (which is great because being in a salon that is the opposite make it very awkward/​uncomfortable for the client)
Hands down my favorite salon in lakewood!
They are very available and making an appointment with ANY one of these talented artists will not be a mistake!!!

Oh yeah. Get my haircut by Bec. My mullet has never looked better! Easy to get in. Great atmosphere. Good barber skills.

Went in for a men’s cut and was extremely happy with the result. Definitely a pretty trendy salon with stylists who know what they’re doing. Couldn’t be happier!

I was hesitant to write this review because I’ve been seeing my same stylist, Erica, for a while. So, I really can’t speak for a general walk in experience or what it is like to be in someone else’s chair. I should probably get that out there right away.
I first started coming simply because they were close to my house, had good prices, and seemed a bit more on trend than the old lady short-​white-​perm salons nearby. I’m glad I did! I got Erica by chance, I just requested an appointment and she was the first available so I took that. I’ve been loyal to her ever since. Dear God, if she ever packs up and leaves state I think I’ll just have to give up and shave my head because no one comes close to her.
I’ve never been loyal to a stylist before, just too many overpriced mediocre experiences. I love coming here though because they get what you want and give you exactly what you ask for. They also communicate with you throughout so they make sure they aren’t deviating from «the plan». I like wild hair so I was always frustrated when I would bring a picture into a salon and would receive some watered down, tame version of what I asked for. As if I wasn’t really aware I had asked for a mohawk, instead I leave with a pixie? No thanks. Erica somehow is a magic head genie and makes your hair look like the photograph, every time. Like a magician pulling a rabbit out of her hat, she can pull your head out of your butt and make it look adorable.
The prices are middle of the road. Way cheaper than a high end, designer salon but don’t expect Super Cuts prices either. If you are used to paying more for a tee shirt than you are for your hair cut, you might not like it here. But then again, if you are a connoisseur of $ 7 hair cut coupons it might explain why your cranial situation is lookin’ tragic.
They always have coffee available, which I LOVE! I also get cut and color services done here regularly, both being well priced and well executed. This is also the only salon I have ever purchased product from before, consistently. I do that now because I actually leave with a hair cut I would like to replicate on a daily basis, as opposed to every other salon I have been to.
The couch is comfy to wait on while your color processes and they at least have interesting and current magazines, as in from the last two months. No ten year old issues of Highlights, thank God! They often play movies too which is a good way to kill time while you are waiting, neat movies to like Hook and other nostalgia trips.
I hope to see them expand to a bigger location. I’ve heard their east side location does nails as well and I would love to see them offer that service at the Lakewood location too! I would also like to see them branch out in to more services like waxing, eye lash extensions, etc. because as of this writing, if I want those services I do have to get them done at a different salon. But I would like Crazy Mullets to be a one stop shop for me.
In short, if you are looking for a cool and relaxed vibe in a place with fair prices, or if you are struggling to find a salon that can give you that really unique cut/​color then give them a try!

Moved to Lakewood and needed a new hair salon.
I have straight, fine, normal, shoulder length hair.
Give me some layers and I’m good to go — nothing complicated.
The best thing about CM is the PRICE! You can walk out of there with a women’s hair cut for under $ 30, which is a steal.
Had two great hair cuts with Allie, and one hair cut with Jaclyn that was just ok.
One thing was a little weird.
I recommended a friend to the salon, and when she checked out she was asked if anyone referred her. She gave them my name/​phone number, but nothing came of it. Not a few bucks off my next haircut, or a trial size product or anything.
Not a huge deal, I just thought it was weird… why ask if it doesn’t matter?

Again, what great experiences when coming here for both my man’s haircut and a trim for the little guy.
John is the man to go to here, period. I’ve been around salons since I was little. I like to think that I know a little bit about stlists, and this guy just rocks. I’m sure if he ever left that we’d follow him to whatever local salon he chose to work. He truly puts a lot of time and attention into his cuts and styles. I’ve only witnessed his expertise with mens and boys cuts, but watching his work makes me think he’s great with the ladies styles, too.
The little guy has really, really thick, straight hair. It can get really heavy on him, floppy and almost a little animé-​ish. He’s never liked getting his hair cut and went through a phase where he just wanted it long and in his eyes. But recently I feel like John slowly worked with him out of that icky style and really helped him figure out what look was really him. This past time we left the salon and the little guy said it was the best haircut ever and he really liked his hair. I’ve never, ever heard him say this – and he was right, it really was the cutest cut I’ve seen on him. John even convinced him that just a little bit of product in his hair was OK and now he’s interested in styling it. So cute!
My guy has thinner hair and doesn’t like his hairline. We both told John exactly what he didn’t like about his grown out style and he just got to work. Long story short, the haircut was exactly what my man had in mind and he looked delicious. I’m a HUGE fan of the new ‘do. He’s happy and confident, I’m happy and we love John!
To summarize, if you’re going to Crazy Mullets, ask for John!

I have mixed feelings about this place. I’ve been there twice now, but I don’t plan on going back.
The first time I went I got the best haircut of my life. It was more expensive than I expected, but I was so enamored with my beautiful new hair I just shrugged it off. The second time I went, my previous stylist had moved to another salon and I ended up with a girl who gave me a decent haircut, but had the personality of a wet mop. You know how awkward it is when you’re stuck in that chair in complete silence! That time I ended up paying almost $ 50 for a mediocre haircut.
My two problems with this place is 1) the price and 2) their business practices.
1) I consider this place overpriced. Honestly, I think they just charge more because they’re the cool kids on the block and think that since they’re funky you should have to pay more. They are definitely more expensive than other salons in Lakewood.
2) I’m not thrilled with the staff. They’re not exactly friendly and didn’t really seem to want my business. The exception was my previous stylist who moved to a different salon. It also bothers me that they can’t seem to open the place on time. I mean they open at 10. It’s not like they are trying to open at 7 or some other ungodly hour. Both times I had an 10 o’clock appointment and both times I ended up waiting outside the door waiting for someone not to just unlock the door, but get there! If you open at 10 and schedule appointments for 10, you shouldn’t just be getting there at 10 and make your customers wait while you perform your morning ritual and make your coffee.
