Pretentious ...only!
I went to Epoca with a very specific set of instructions and vision for the hairdresser I would be assigned to. Her name was Ashley. I told her that I wanted a simple pony tail with volume at the crown of my head. I was getting ready for my small wedding reception and I was going for something that was simple, fresh, not overdone but still looking polished. Ashley was very absent minded while I was giving her my instructions. She proceeded to do a bun. When she showed me, I told her again that I would really like a pony tail. She undid the bun and made a ponytail BUT started clipping the hair yet into another bun. When she showed me the back I told her that really I just wanted a ponytail. At which point she got annoyed. She did a ponytail that really looked like an unclipped bun. I was very sad and she really ruined half of what should be a memorable day for me. I really think her obsession with the bun was only to be able to charge me more. She did charge me a full updo fee of 84 dollars!! Outrageous for something that looked so unprofessional. I really regret paying the whole amount and not standing up for myself more. I will never go back there.

i would never pay 80+ dollars for something that i did't want.. my goodness i can't believe that she wouldn't give you a swept up ponytail..you can always buy those things called "bumpit's" online and add a ponytail all on your own....
My mom totally has those and they look amazing!! Takes her like 10 minutes to do her hair and it looks really nice! I recommend skipping the $80 ponytail jobs and doing it yourself with a $20 bumpit set...
Thank you for all your suggestions. I will definitely skip any future 80-dollar "ponytail up-do" at Epoca and I hope other ladies will learn from my little story (...especially standing up for yourself more). It just happened to be the day of my wedding reception (a very intimate, small affair...but still) and I wanted to look stunning, hence opting for professional assistance...hmm..
