After watching his side ease into the Fifth Round of The FA Cup, Reading boss Brian McDermott was full of praise for the competition.
A brace from Noel Hunt and goals from Mikele Leigertwood and Gareth McCleary saw the Royals beat Sheffield United 4-0 at the Madejski Stadium.
And McDermott believes Cup progress can boost his side's chances of Premier League survival.
He said: "I love The FA Cup and so do the players.
"Ask QPR and Norwich if they would still rather be in it and the answer would by 'yes'.
"The FA Cup has been good for me. Confidence is high, and has been for a while. I don't see The Cup as a distraction.
"A good Cup run can help in the league."

By Stacey Gillis Correspondent
When you visit Detour Coffee House, you are doing more than just grabbing a cup of coffee or a bite to eat, you are helping to transform a community and the lives of people across the globe.
On Monday, the area's newest coffee shop, located in Crossroads Commons on Camden Road, opened for business. There is more to this place than just amazing coffee.
"The only thing better than our coffee is our story," said Barry Edgemon, general manager of Detour Coffee House.
In December of 2011, Chad Pullins, pastor of Crossroads United Methodist Church, and his parishioners were looking to establish a place where the community could gather and socialize.
"We wanted to fund a place of community, for our community," Pullins said. "We exist for our community, so what does our community need?"
"In scripture, the well was the gathering place. The new well of today is a coffee house," Pullins stated. "We felt there wasn't a well, a coffee house, the way we imagined it to be in our community."
One year later, the six-acre tract of land that makes up Crossroads Commons is now home to Detour Coffee House and CrossKids Preschool. Pullins said the church uses the adjoining structure on Sundays for worship, but the rest of the week, the space is for the community.
"It's not a Christian coffee house, this is something for our community where lives can intersect," said Pullins. A nonprofit organization, the U Turn Foundation, which is separate from the church, runs the coffee house.
"So, it is a non-for-profit coffee house," Pullins said. "All of that is to bring transformation in our city."
Pullins says that when customers come in for a cup of coffee or a sandwich, they are taking part in helpingcoffee growers across the globe improve their villages.
"Everything above our operating expenses goes back into the community and globally," Pullins stated. "So literally, every cup of coffee you purchase, every sandwich that you buy, everything that is bought here, a portion of that is going to go back into our community or globally."
In staying with their vision of improving communities, Pullins said they wanted to use companies that were local or those whose premise was to help others enhance their way of life. With that, they selected Joe Van Gogh, a Hillsborough-based coffee company and Land of a Thousand Hills coffees.
"Joe Van Gogh is direct trade and Land of a Thousand Hills is community trade, which are both levels up from fair trade," explained Pullins. "Land of a Thousand Hills has invented community trade. They are rebuilding a community in Rwanda. So when we buy from them, you are building schools, you are building orphanages."
"We are transforming lives all across the city, all across the world, through the coffee house," said Pullins.
Detour Coffee House doesn't have just a good story, but serves an amazing cup of coffee.
"Our goal is to serve great food, great beverages and excellent service," said Edgemon.
Joel Christian, an independent coffee consultant, is assisting in setting up the coffee house by training the baristas, staff and overseeing the quality control of the coffee and food. Christian said the coffee house is striving to serve fresh, local fruits, vegetables and dairy goods from North Carolina growers.
"As much as we can, we look for locally grown produce when in season," said Christian.
As I sat down to talk coffee with Christian, I enjoyed a vanilla latte and a fresh Liege waffle drizzled with honey and sprinkled with powdered sugar, served with a side of fresh pears.
"Here we hope to educate people on what good coffee is and pair that with great foods," said Christian.
"We really want to not just be in the community, but be a part of the community as a coffee shop," said Christian, who a while back, traveled to Rwanda and worked with some of the Land of a Thousand Hills coffee farmers, and saw the merit and pride the growers put into their product.
"The guys here at Detour wanted to do everything to parallel the excellence the coffee was grown with," Christian said. "That came to food, that came to atmosphere, that came to how you present everything."
Beginning around mid-April, Edgemon said, the coffee house will probably expand its hours and also start hosting a weekly open mic night.
"To have a place for the community to have another space to come to, to enjoy community, do business or have a place to relax," Edgemon said is what Detour Coffee House is about.
"The people known as Crossroads Church have invested thousands of dollars just to create a space for this community, because we care so deeply," said Pullins. "We wanted to create a space for people to come, just to be."
Detour Coffee House is open seven days a week, 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.and is located at 6781 Camden Road in Crossroads Commons.

Countdown to Restoring Love: Restoring Honor
Restoring Love is one a few short weeks away, but before we look to the future, it's important to look to the past to see where we've been. Restoring Love is the culmination of a journey that began with Restoring Honor in Washington DC. It was there that we learned that before you can fix anything – you have to fix yourself.
Countdown to Restoring Love: Divine Destiny
Glenn's journey has been quite an interesting one over the past few years. He thought Restoring Honor would be the last big event he'd ever do - but he was wrong. It was just the beginning of what was to come - before Restoring Love arrives, take a look back and see how and why this all began. Beginning with Divine Destiny.

Move over tater tots, here come Tasty Tots. A team from Bellingham, Massachusetts, came up with this recipe, which was a hit with students. Would you believe the secret ingredient is chick peas?
Burke Middle and High School in Charleston, South Carolina, created Confetti Soup, which they call "winter wonder soup."
Kayenta United School District in Arizona combined Southwest flavors with an Asian technique — stir frying. A fajita usually comes with a tortillas, but this recipe for Stir-Fry Fajita Chicken serves it over rice, which you should prepare before starting this dish.

ARDSLEY, N.Y. – Interim measures to ensure the safety of the Ashford Avenue Bridge were agreed to at a recent meeting of local, county and state officials. A complete rehabilitation of the Ardsley bridge is still scheduled to begin in 2015.
"Engineers from the county and the state have inspected it and will continue to inspect it," County Executive Robert Astorino said. "At the same time, we have to make sure that the immediate needs of the bridge are addressed and our long-term plan expedited, whenever possible."
The meeting came weeks after several pieces of concrete fell from the bridge onto the New York State Thruway between Dobbs Ferry and Ardsley. Officials say short-term plans include increasing bridge inspections and adding piers and planking to the underside of the bridge to prevent more concrete from falling on the roadway.
Officials have been planning a $23.4 million bridge rehabilitation project set to end in 2017. County officials say that although expediting the bridge repair is a good idea, a lengthy approval process with village, local, county and state boards makes it difficult to do so.
"The parties will seek to expedite reviews to meet a more aggressive timetable, whenever possible," Astorino's office said in a press release. "The New York State Department of Transportation, for example, committed to completing its review of some documents by Aug. 1, two months ahead of the current schedule."
Engineers from Dobbs Ferry and Ardsley will meet with county engineers next week to discuss the long-term rehabilitation plan. County officials say a working group will meet to keep the project on schedule and address traffic, time or costs concerns.
County Legislator MaryJane Shimsky called on county officials to fast-track interim safety measures after Wednesday's meeting.
"Because of years of past neglect, the concrete on the bridge is crumbling at an accelerated pace," Shimsky said. "We need to fast-track measures to protect the people below and move quickly on plans for the bridge's ultimate rehabilitation."

Incumbent Bob Cole easily defeated Christian Party challenger Prudence Caskey in Tuesday's general election for District 2's seat on the Santa Rosa County Commission.
"I think it's confirmation that the citizens of the county like the direction we're going as a board," Cole, 58, said after unofficial results showed he received almost 77 percent of 47,383 votes. "People know that I don't mind getting out and working hard and that I'll listen to them; I return their calls and I take their problems seriously. It's important; it's important to them."
Caskey, 33, told Navarre Press in October that she challenged Cole because she was frustrated by what she believes is a lack of responsiveness by elected officials to people's concerns and embarrassed by recent political scandals in all levels of government. She chose to run as a Christian Party candidate because, she said, it is the political party that best represents her beliefs.

Introducing Hay Group Spectrum – the next generation HR solution.
Why Hay Group Spectrum? From our long experience helping clients with job evaluation, we realised that many organisations miss out on the real value of understanding their work by only applying job evaluation to reward.

We knew there was a better way. So we've created Hay Group Spectrum – a unique offering that makes it possible for you to look at all these issues together, connecting your jobs, people, structure, pay and performance.

Your sadness is not beautiful. It's not keeping you warm. It's not keeping you company. You don't feel it right now but your sadness is sinking you. It's slowly taking over your body, biting your soul and splitting your heart. Don't let it crack you open. Fight it.

Observations and results
Did the statement you whispered change a lot during its journey? Very often the differences from the original are so great that people laugh. In real life, of course, miscommunication can be more frustrating than funny. This frustration might come from the belief that communication is straightforward, even though, as we have learned in this activity it is not.
The world is full of distractions, both external and internal. No one can control all of them at any given moment. Moreover, everybody's brain is different—in how it works and in the information and experiences it has collected. Thus, what you think you are saying may mean something quite different to someone else—particularly if you start in the middle of a thought, choose a wrong word or speak too quickly. Speakers make one or more of these mistakes quite often—and worse, rarely realize when they do.
Once you realize the obstacles to communication, you will be far more understanding when it fails—as well as able to communicate more effectively by averting common errors. Think about what is going on at the moment: Does the other person appear to be distracted? If you need to repeat yourself, don't be annoyed. Repetition, as you may have learned from the above activity, is a good strategy for making sure you are understood. Another tactic is simplicity. See if a bare-bones message will suffice, at least for now, but don't leave out background or critical details!

Anyone who has ever attended law school knows the intense pressure that law students face every semester. Overwhelmed with the amount of material that a first-year law student has to learn, all 1Ls know memorizing the substantive rules and concepts is only half the battle. To achieve high grades, law students have to write a completely different style and tone for each of their exams. A torts professor might expect definitions of any relevant legal terminology and a thorough application of rules that do not even apply to the exam fact pattern, while a criminal law professor prefers responses that are concise and to the point. As a first-year law student at Duquesne University School of Law six years ago, I thought to myself that I couldn't wait to be done with law school, where the law would be the law and I wouldn't have to alter my work product to the preference of any one person. I was wrong.

In Focus: Shaanan Meyerstein, MD '13
Master of Public Health
What made you choose Hofstra University's MPH program?
As a Resident within the North Shore-LIJ Health system, I'm familiar with Hofstra University's reputation in the health field and I knew I was interested in pursuing a degree in public health. I met with program director, Dr. Corinne Kyriacou, to learn about the curriculum and to discuss how I could feasibly complete the program around my schedule at Cohen Children's Medical Center. She was very friendly, enthusiastic, kind, and willing to work with my residency time constraints, enabling me to take classes in a distance-learning format. We created an individual learning program so I could complete the program successfully while still adhering to the core curriculum.
Describe your experience working and studying with faculty in the Department of Health Professions.
Dr. Kyriacou and the other faculty are extremely accommodating and are certainly leaders in the field. I've found that they value having a variety of perspectives in the classroom, including mine as a medical professional. They share my belief that public health is an extremely interdisciplinary field and I look forward to further collaborating in the classroom and in future projects beyond the MPH program.
Tell us about your internship with the Children's Health Fund.
I've had the wonderful opportunity to work with Irwin Redlender, founder of the Children's Health Fund, which is a non-profit organization in Harlem that provides Pediatric primary care nationally and directs efforts at lobbying on behalf of child health issues in Washington, DC. I have a particular interest in immigrant child health issues and this internship allowed me to further study barriers to health access for this at risk population. During my time at CHF, I was also able to assist with the writing of a policy paper discussing current health issues and policy and legislation affecting immigrant children in the US.
What are your goals for the future?
Immediately following the completion of my MPH, I will be moving to Botswana with my wife to participate in the Pediatric Global Health Corps run by Baylor University and Texas Children's Hospital. As a program participant, I will be working with HIV-infected children in a clinic setting and doing HIV education in remote parts of the country.
Tell us about your collaboration with the Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine.
As part of the Cohen Children's Medical Center Global Health Track, we have developed a partnership with a small rural community in the Dominican Republic comprised of Haitian Migrant sugarcane workers. Over the last two years, Pediatric residents and medical students have traveled to the community to study the health issues of Haitian workers. In particular, they have focused on preventative care and education regarding nutrition, hygiene and sanitation. Hofstra medical students spent two weeks studying hypertension trends and causes, prevalence and treatment of diarrheal illness, breastfeeding practices and social barriers to accessing medical care. We are in the process of coordinating a similar experience for Hofstra MPH students.
To read more about the project in the Dominican Republic please visit:
Read more about the Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine Visit: http://www.northshorelij.com/NSLIJ/summer-research.
Advice to future students
When considering a master's program in public health, the opportunity to study in the greater New York area is very unique and it is important to take advantage of the amazing things happening right outside the classroom to apply the theory to practice. The Hofstra MPH faculty have extensive and diverse backgrounds in different areas of public health and are able to facilitate wonderful opportunities because of their experience and professional connections. This can be one of the most interesting aspects of the program. I encourage all students thinking about pursuing an MPH to seek out these experiences and to look for mentors in faculty members who have similar interests.

The biggest threat to America isn't North Korea, Pakistan or imported Chinese goods. It is the crazy liberal in the White House.
Liberals like BND letter writer Frankie Seaberry blindly follow and obey every word that our hypocrite and liar president spews. It is not the government's responsibility to get you a house, car, cell phone or a good, happy life. That is up to individuals.
The government needs less involvement in the people's life. President Obama and his mindless followers are doing more hurt than good. Four more years, I don't know if the country can take it.
People need to take a little personal responsibility and quit asking for a handout. It is OK to give help but there needs to be a limit.
Can America survive Obama's liberal agenda? I hope so but it isn't looking good. Open borders with illegals getting treated better than American citizens, a wrecked health care system just to name a few.
Hold on, America; it's gonna be a long, liberal ride.

Studied at Central School,London,late seventies.1987 moved to french countryside where I live with my wife and two children. Create 'art glass' for galleries, commissions private and public, run summer courses.'President' local action group for autistic children.
Practicing as both architects and glass artists, we develop innovative projects that focus on the hybrid of these two areas on scales from the micro to the mega. We include a range of interactive technology including sound and light and provide an innovative approach to structural and integrated work.
Designer and maker of stained glass, principally for the church, and also for secular buildings. I also work on exhibitions and for galleries. I am a painter on glass, both flat and glass forms, as well as on paper. my work is figurative, expressive and narrative.
I am a contemporay glass artist working in kiln formed art glass.My work is inspired by the Southwest.
Anne Arlidge has developed a unique range of work since completing her BA at High Wycombe. All her pieces are made from recycled glass, which is blown, cut and polished, slumped and cast into both decorative and practical forms. The scope of her work encompasses:- cast panels to a current maximum of 18' x 17' with a depth of 6';- vases and spheres, blown, cut and polished;- ranges of tableware created from both soda and lead glass.She is pleased to welcome visitors to her workshop, Assenden Glass, and her work can also be seen at galleries and shops from Burford to St Ives.Anne enjoys working on commissions, both public and private. The largest being the design and production of a 5.5m sculpture based on the DNA spiral for the Royal Berkshire Hospital foyer.Anne draws inspiration from diverse sources. The affinity of glass and water holds endless possibilities, but it is the subtleties and illusions that emerge during the working process that are a constant source of surprise and delight.She also interested in the images produced by histological studies, in which the internal structures are revealed. By slicing and polishing her heavy walled vessels, the qualities of the glass are exposed.
I started working in glass four years ago and am besotted by the glorious colours of Bullseye glass. My work takes the form of abstract sculptural pieces.

Dasein Leather Flap Checkbook Wallet
Posted: 03 Dec, 2013
I love this wallet and the quality and price. The only thing that bugs me is that when you make out a check the clasp gets in the way and it is hard to write, but I have gotten use to it, so no big deal. It was worth the price and the quality!...
does not look or feel faux
Posted: 03 Dec, 2013
very nice wallet that can be used as a clutch. Can't keep your check register and chaecks though,that prevents it from closing. But who carries checks and registers around anymore.
Great item!!
Posted: 03 Dec, 2013
Love this item. Exactly as advertised. Very good transaction and fast shipper. Will buy from again.
I like the wallet
Posted: 03 Dec, 2013
I like the wallet, I received the white one, and I think it's classy. I think it's sturdy although I'm unsure what a few compartments are supposed to be for on it.
Nice wallet

This wallet looks and feels more expensive than it was. Very pleased with the purchased.

Once I played with it I figured out how to combine the two. Great quality and beauty. Only negative is there is nowhere to store a pen. I wiil recommend this to my friends.

A colorful, simple and absolutely delicious slaw for any season. You can shred the cabbage on the large holes of a box grater, with the shredding attachment of a food processor or by simply slicing it very finely with a sharp knife.
Thinly sliced celery root and Yukon gold potatoes, baked with milk and nutty Emmentaler cheese and topped with breadcrumbs, make a decadent side dish. Celery root adds the savory complexity to this otherwise classic potato gratin.
A sweet, spicy coffee rub makes a delicious complement to steaks.
These potatoes are rich and creamy without the addition of dairy ingredients. The flavor is classic enough to serve alongside any holiday roast, or increase the tahini by a tablespoon or two and pair them with Middle Eastern dishes in place of rice or couscous.
This delicious duck is special enough for entertaining but easy enough for weeknights. We recommend Riesling for the sauce because it's a wine that typically harmonizes with citrus, but you can use any not-too-dry white wine.
Eye of round is an extremely lean beef roast and should not be overcooked. For best results, slice very thinly. Serve with a side of steamed green beans and mashed potatoes and keep leftovers for sandwiches.
Whole wheat pasta and flour gives this hearty macaroni and cheese a pleasant nuttiness.
This tasty take on caramel corn can be enjoyed loose or shaped into popcorn balls for a Halloween treat. Let the kids help, but not with the hot molasses mixture!
These sweet rolls are perfect to serve when you have company since you can easily make them the day before. Bake the rolls first thing in the morning and your guests and family will wake up to the sweet scents of cinnamon, walnuts and dates.
Whole wheat pastry flour combines with apples, raisins, carrots, coconut and walnuts in these nutritious and satisfying muffins. You can also try our Gluten-free Morning Glory...
This delightfully dense, moist and minty cake is a hit at gatherings year-round, though we love it's classic grasshopper flavor combination in the spring.
Mashed cauliflower tastes similar to mashed potatoes but with fewer carbs. Top with chopped herbs and grated cheese if you like.
Spice rubs are an easy way to quickly add dynamic flavor to meat and vegetables, especially before grilling. Look for them on the shelves with other spices and near the meat and fish counters.
Serve these with something green to balance out the meal and remember that ketchup does not count as a vegetable!
We've updated this classic party dip with low fat variations of its essential creamy components. This dip can easily be prepared a day ahead, covered and chilled. Bake just before serving and enjoy piping hot with toasted baguette or crackers.
Look for fish sauce, a bold, flavorful condiment, on the shelves next to other Asian condiments like soy sauce.
Although these luscious shortcakes are delicious topped with strawberries, you can use all manner of other fruits, too. Blueberries, raspberries, peaches and plums are particularly tasty substitutes.
This soup shows off a gorgeous orange color and warm ginger bite on the finish. A simple cheese cracker is the ideal counterpart to the heat of the ginger.

This standard and metric tap and die set is needed for both home and garage use. It contains the most common taps and dies used in home products. If you belong to the Craftsman Club, great deals are always available. I used this product within a week of purchasing on my sons car. Metric tools are a must these days.

With cutting oil it zip right through what I needed to do. My only complaint is the price is way to high (I think). $99 or $115 would be a way better deal. But, quality is there for sure.

I have an older car - 86 Buick GN, on the "stop-light-switch" there needs to be two nuts used to secure the "S-l-s" to the brake pedal, being as GM has discontinued these nuts. I was going to make my own from soft plastic which is much softer than a metal nut. The plastic had no hardened places within it, so I thought great. Well, I was wrong and in making two nuts, I ended up chipping two of the treads on the die. I retired from being an electrician for over 30+ yrs and I had never seen such poor quality as this die made in China. This does not say much for "Craftsman" or Sears in general. This was the first time I had used this set and it was less than two weeks setting on my shelf waiting to be used as a professional would do his job. So much for " China" made Craftsman dies.

The taps and dies in this kit are of good quality. The tap handles are poor quality items identical to the cheep ************** items. I was not pleased with them. I qualify my opinion as having been a machinist for 39 years

I am a diesel mechanic of 14yrs. the tap and dies are NOT garunteed. snap on is. I do not buy snapper crapper just because they are rediculously expensive, my broken ones will be replaced with snap on because sears does not warrenty taps and dies

I have been very pleased with this set. I used it the first night I got it and have been using it ever since. I would definently recommend this to anyone who wants a good, quality Tap & Die set.

The one I picked up at the store has a much nicer case set up. I'm hoping they just haven't changed the picture here, because the guys at work want me to order 2 more.

I believe this is the set a purchased 15 to 20 years ago, for around $249.00. My wife went crazy, asking "Kinda pricey for a one time use aint it?" Well, I have used this set for Soooo Many things around home its invaluable. Example: Re-tapping shower housing in the wall thus preventing tearing down the tile for replcement. Great Set!!

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!!! I feel like the staff must be loosing money due to their terrible manager and front desk
Great Salon and Spa – Best cut and color in KC! I've been to all the major aveda salons in KC and this one is my favorite. Staffed with real people who really care that you love your services and do a fantastic job!
Quality services and quality products. Wonderful technicians and a front desk that is friendly and knowlegable.
My Red Hair Rocks! – I am not sure what happened with other people but, I was absolutely satisfied, thrilled actually, with my cut and color! Everyone was helpful and pleasant and my stylist, Manuel, was awesome. He chatted with me about what I wanted and did exactly what I asked. My cut was great, didn't take too much off, and my new red is stunning. I went in a long-haired, dirty blonde and I came out a semi-long, eye popping red-head. I have had nothing but compliments. You better believe I'll be going back.
The WORST cut and color I have ever had!!! – I should have known when I called this salon for an appointment, the receptionist acted rude and bored. He wasn't helpful when I told him my hairtype and asked which stylist would work best. When I got there, it wasn't a good vibe, the stylists didn't smile or say hello. The waiting area had an empty water pitcher and a stack of messy torn up magazines. I kept my hopes up, this was supposed to be my special day and I was excited. My hair is light blonde and I was hoping for a good cut and some lowlights. The stylist and I didn't click, but that is ok, as long as she did a good job.... I noticed that when she was doing the foil that she wasn't getting the color up to the roots, I didn't say anything, I didn't want to seem difficult. She told me she had another client so I sat in the waiting area with the foils on my hair. Seemed a little weird, but ok. The client took 45 minutes and the stylist came running over to me and rushed me to the shampoo area (which has a nifty view of all of the stylists eating thier lunches in the breakroom). When she sat me down in front of the mirror I almost fainted. My wet hair was almost black, with the exception of light blonde roots. I calmed myself and thought it will lighten up as it dries. It was dark brown with a few thick blonde stripes and blonde roots. She then proceeded to cut my hair into a mullet. I was in shock. I said "it is so dark" and she offered to cut the dark parts off!!! At this point my number one instinct was to not let her do anything else. Oh and I asked for long sweeping bangs that I could wear to the side if I wanted. She chopped the front of my hair so short that it looks like a child did it. The bangs are so short that they stick straight out. I paid 125.00 for this nightmare. I even tipped her. I was in such shock and so embarrassed that I just wanted to get out of there. One of the other stylists asked me if I was happy with my color. I could tell he thought it was bad. I went in as a blonde that needed a few lowlights and a good cut, and came out as a brunette with a zebra stripe an bangs that look like they had been caught in a fire. I have actually been avoiding people until I can get it fixed. I say if you want the Naturally experience, find a 1st grader and give them scissors and dye. You will save the money and get the same results. I would give a zero star rating but they don't let you do that.
Still Mortified 2 Years Later – I've been going to Naturally off and on since 1980. The last few visits have been worse and worse - from salon appearance, to customer service, to actual cuts and styling. (Like the stylist/colorist who moaned the whole time of my appt., clawing my head with her acrylic nails).
Myrna D. & Leanna were the best and Manuel wasn't bad either (when he wasn't stopping to check out hotties walking by) but both are gone, dunno about Manuel; so I booked with Monica in Sept. 2008, which was my last visit to this or ANY salon to date.
My hair was long, thick, naturally wavy, highlighted - which is why I chose this particular stylist.
I'd noticed that the salon's appearance had gotten more "lax" as the years had gone by, but so long as I kept getting decent cuts & or color, was ok with it.
For the first time ever, I brought 2 photos of the general style that I wanted. However, upon arrival, my stylist seemed to have other things on her mind. She never looked at the photos, nor did she hear me when I said that I'd just been laid off and would not be returning for some time.
As my wet hair was being combed out, someone from the front desk came over and said to her that she needed to call the principal of her children's school.
As a mom too, I suggested she go make her call, that I was not in a hurry (not like I had a job to get back to!). She refused, said she'd handle it when we were finished.
At this point she began flying through my cut. At one point she said "can I cut this much off?" (about a 1/2"). I said sure, BUT, I realized that she was actually cutting the back of my hair to that length!!!!!!
I was absolutely HORRIFIED!!! I could not even speak, there was no way to hide what she'd done, so I just sat in the chair, waiting for her to finish. I got up, paid for the cut, gave her a tip, and left. I am CERTAIN I was on auto-pilot at that point - just completely in shock and super upset.
I have not been back (to Naturally or any other salon) and will not go back to Naturally. I'd been there for cuts/color pre-wedding, before and after my daughter's birth, new jobs, etc. - many milestones, but this was it.
My suggestion? Call Tabatha Coffey and beg for help to turn this once great salon into something worthwhile again, or just sell it to someone who gives a damn.
Down Hill – My first experience at Naturally was my best. I called a day before I needed an appointment and got right in. I loved the hair cut and my stylist was nice.
With each subsequent appointment, the quality and my overall satisfaction has diminished.
The staff really is rude. I have called and been placed on hold for close to 10 minutes. No one apologizes. When I get to the salon, the waiting area is on top of people having their hair done. The beverage selection is tap water and hot tea. The facilities are really lacking. When you get your hair washed, you can see into the employee break room. When I have gone there to just pick up product and not even get an appointment, the stylists who have done my hair in the past, don't even say hi.
They also seem to really process your hair when you have it colored there. If anyone knows of another place that I can get a great layered cut and a color, please let me know. I will not be going back to Naturally. It's well, unnatural.
Really pretty awful for brides – I was in town for my sister-in-law's wedding and she booked her wedding day services there ? my comments are in regard to this.
It was immediately obvious that not enough stylists had been assigned to our party ? none of us got what we wanted because there were so few stylists that they were constantly running late and had to rush. Ironically if the stylists had just taken the time to listen (or read the booking info) ? there would have been enough time. (For example I didn?t want a wash and dry ? I told him several times (and booked for) just a style which would have been a much shorter process, yet the stylist ignored me and had me shampooed.) The bridesmaid who went after me was understandably angry because the stylist said he now did not have enough time to do everything she wanted and had booked for. I was upset because I simply do not ruin my hair by drying but that?s what the stylist did - despite my repeated objections.
Much worse than that and much less forgivable was the job the makeup artist did on the bride to be for the big day. My sister-in-law is truly a natural beauty, tall, thin willowy, with angular facial features to die for ? she needs far less makeup ? even for bridal photos ? than most of us do. Yet the makeup job made her look like a clown ? it was really awful. It was so bad the bride started crying after ? because there wasn?t even time for her to start over, we had already been made late by the situation discussed above. Her wedding pictures reflect the poor makeup job ? she looks very made up and far less beautiful than she really is ? I of course told her none of this ? told her on that day that she looked beautiful because there was no time to fix it and I didn?t want her to be miserable.
We come back "home" to KC 1-2 times a year for vacation and if I ever have a spa service done I would never have anything done at this salon again after this experience.
Great all in one salon and spa. Book in advance for Saturday appointments and come early! – I go to Naturally to get all of my stuff done. Hair, nails, waxing and massage....I think I'll get a facial next time! All staff members are very good at what they do. Some things are a little old or needing to be fixed/painted, but they assured me that they're working on some updates. Great place if you want great talent.
Editorial Review by Nancy Mora – Detailed salon with star clients such as Joan Rivers, Steven Tyler and Mary Tyler Moore.
Unfair Pricing – I was a regular customer for approximately 3 years at naturally, even though I felt the manager was rude, I was satisfied with the hair dresser I had, however I was not pleased with the pricing. I had standing appointments every 5 - 6 weeks. The last visit and I mean the last visit I will ever make to the Naturally Salon; I was charged 210.00 for a cut and color (before tip). If my hair was extremely long or need special requirements, I could have understood; this however was regular Maintenance. I felt I was charged this simply because they thought I would pay. I have since had conversations with former naturally clients that have had similar experiences. I wonder how many out of town Kansas City visitors are over charged by Naturally ?
