Chuck Landers Hair Design

I hadn’t been to a professional stylist for about 3 years… I have been cutting and coloring my long hair myself and it has been just fine. However, now that I have entered my forties I feel sort of «on the fence»: I am not young but I am not old, I am a type-​A career woman, but want to remain soft and feminine — and not too Type-​A looking (if you know what I mean) — I want to look young, but don’t want to look like an older woman trying to look young… Ugh.
So I did some research and Chuck Landers got the best reviews in Cincinnati. So I went and Chuck conquered. The man is smart and he knows what he is doing. I’m not going to explain all that he delivered — it would make for a long review (and this is already long). All I can say is that I will be back to see him in 6 – 8 weeks for the next step in my age and personality-​appropriate transformation to drop dead gorgeous!

I know most women are super picky about their hair. I wouldn’t consider myself in this group. It’s just hair, right? It will grow, no matter how bad it looks! And until it does… there are hats and headbands!
In my search to find the «perfect» stylist, I decided to try out Chuck Landers. The business is right down the street from me, and I can easily walk there in less than 5 minutes! I love frequenting places that are close! Chuck seems to run the entire place himself– no secretary or other stylists that I could tell. Sometimes, I like to change my hair, but am not really sure how. With my previous stylist, I could just sit down and tell her what I was thinking about, and she would tell me if it would look good or bad, and if my suggestion was off, she would offer a new one. I really appreciate people like that, and Chuck certainly fit the bill. Although I thought my last hair cut was decent, I felt there was no creativity involved. Chuck has plenty of creative energy!
Another thing I liked about Chuck; he knew his other clients well, and was easy to talk to! Let’s face it, when you have a stylist that just cuts your hair and doesn’t talk, its just weird. I found out all about his children, his band, and his motorcycle accident. I also found out he finished stylist school in ’79, so he’s had plenty of experience, but seems to keep up on current trends as well.
Another cool thing, free bang trims, walk-​ins welcome. This is of course, for established clients, but how neat! He also reminded me that I could get a «blow out» before a night out on the town. I might take him up on it– when do you ever get your hair done like that except for way back when for prom?
Good to know before getting there though– he only accepts cash and checks. It’s a good thing I lived close enough to run back and grab my checkbook.
I really liked the proximity, my color and cut, and the conversation. I think I may have found my new stylist!
