What People Are Saying About American Mortals

In Short – Behind a huge storefront window off Washington Square, a simple yet edgy space sets the scene for, well, simple yet edgy hair cuts. Working under a philosophy of comfort and cool, hip young professionals and tiny tots getting their first snip fill the chairs of stylists dedicated to finding the cut that is "you." Also laid back are the prices, with adult cuts starting at $35 and color starting at $50.

Let's Give Credit Where Credit is Due!
by lavinia_rushobi
I see a lot of people have gotten their hair cut by Sandi. Well, I don't know her. But I do know Heidi. Heidi is a gifted cutter and I have never once felt that she was talking down to me/belittling me/forcing me to buy product. She actually trained with Nick Arrojo in NY and it shows. For those of you who watch TLC's WHAT NOT TO WEAR you know who Nick Arrojo is! And yes, Heidi is that good!
Yes, the place tries to be a little too hip for it's own good. So? If it bothers you don't decorate your home like that.
I stopped going there becuase I couldn't afford 70 per haircut. I really wish I could because I would be back in Heidi's chair in a second!
- Pros: Heidi is a gifted stylist
- Cons: I stopped going because cuts went from 60 to 70. A bit high

I love my hair!
by arepeekay
I love this place! I've been twice - once for a cut and most recently for a color, and both with Brooke. I have absolutely adored the changes to my hair both times! It's really amazing what a nice hair-do can do for your esteem. I usually leave in the best mood. Relaxed atmosphere with good music and lots of things to look at, really nice front desk people who greet me when I come in, Bumble and Bumble hair products that smell lovely, and a stylist who listens to what I want and works with me every step of the way! I'll definitely be going back a third time.
- Pros: Atmosphere, color, cut, price

Shady Reviews
by pohabroth
Reader beware- the AM review titled "My Hair Founds Its Soulmate" (posted on 7/30/08) is almost IDENTICAL to a review posted for Salon Ricochet on 8/21/06 (including the grammar error). Hmmm... Sounds more like a "review" posted by a disgruntled ex-emplyee rather than an actual customer.
