Create Collective

"I had a wonderful experience and have a new style I love. Men’s hair can be so boring but Christine is a great stylist, conversationalist, and all around couldn’t have been a better experience! Thank you Christine!"

"Got my first haircut with Lily today and she was just lovely—created a relaxed environment, was attentive & spruced up my long hair with some gorgeous layers. Love! Will definitely return :). On the whole, Create Collective seems like an awesome local business in Hudson worthy of supporting!"

"Elana is the best! I’m in my mid 30s and have been struggling with my hair since my hairline started receding a few years ago. She asked all the right questions, taking her time and listening and ended up giving me a haircut that I am obsessed with— a feeling I haven’t had in ages. I don’t think I’ll ever let someone else touch my hair again❣️"

"Getting a haircut here is like flushing $100 down the drain. I had an appointment with Elana. She brought her puppy to work in a pet carrier and continually left me, to go fuss with the dog. I felt uncomfortable. It was my fault for not saying something right then. The cut took entirely too long- Elana seemed flustered by a simple request for a layered, 70's-style cut. When I tried to explain things, she corrected my terminology- words like "layer" and "blunt," which seem pretty straightforward. Since the website is unclear about the difference between short and medium, I had contacted the salon before making an appointment. I was told by Melissa, the receptionist, that I could book a short cut. However, Elana pointed out that my hair was medium, which costs $10 more. I told her fine, I would pay the difference. Again, I shouldn't have tried to appease her. After a very difficult hour and forty five minutes, I left with a shapeless, lackluster cut. I just wanted to get out of there and decided to follow up with Melissa. First Melissa said she would refund my money and try to book me with another stylist. Then she changed her tune, forwarding my remarks onto Elana. Elana called me and denied everything I said. She told me I didn't know what I wanted. She said she wasn't distracted by the puppy. She said the only thing she could do was try to fix my hair herself. Soo... I followed up with Melissa again. She denied telling me that I would get a refund and an appointment with another stylist. At this point, I have not heard back from her."

"I got a haircut here for the first time, and Elana was very patient with my lack of vocabulary. She did her best to help me through the cut and give her advice, while working with what she had. In the end, the cut was a beautiful work of art and I am extremely happy. Although there were a couple mishaps, I am grateful for her patience and talent."
