I had been on the hunt for a new salon for some time. I used to have to drive an hour to get my hair done because I am a loyal, well tipping, client.
I was super excited when I found out there was a new salon opening up right next to my work. I watched it get built and I loved the decor! When it opened I made and appointment originally with the owner. I stopped in specifically that day because of her. She had cool hair and she looked like someone I would get along with.
When it came time for my appointment, I walked in and learned I was going to see someone else. We will call her Schmebbie. Not the person I had booked the appointment with. I brushed this off as a new business mishap. When I met Schmebbie, my first thought was how young she was. Fresh out of school said her BS Cert. This concerned me a little, but I had convinced myself not to age discriminate.
After meeting we discussed what I wanted. I am pretty easy. I asked her to do dark with blonde lights mixed in. She colored my hair and then sat me under the dryer for almost 20 minutes. I have never been under a dryer that long, but then again, I am not the hair expert either. As she was toning me, I was confused as to why she was taking so long to take the foil out. Again, I try to see the best in people and assumed she was just slow. After that she cut my hair and styled it. Then she offered me a complementary deep condition the next week. As you know, everybody looks great when they walk out of a salon. It is not until the next few days when I know if my hair looks good.
A few days later, I began to notice A LOT of breakage and weird layers. I couldn't wait until the next week. I honestly thought that everything was normal. I hadn't gotten my hair bleached in a while and I had previously known it to be harsh on the hair. I figured the deep conditioning would help it a lot.
The next week I walked in and she was available to condition my hair. Did I tell you how boring she was too? She barely talks. When I would try to spark conversation she was so dull I couln't stand listening to her. She conditioned my hair fine and I left. Kinda hard to screw that up I guess.
Again a few days later, I knew she had done a number on my hair and I would have to find someone else to salvage it.
After meeting with my new AWESOME stylist, I learned exactly what she had done to ruin my otherwise healthy hair. Dumb Schmebbie had fried my hair with the bleach and dyer. She "toned" me for so long because she was realizing she messed up and MY HAIR WAS FALLING OUT. Then she gave me a totally stupid cut to hide the breakage. She gave me 2 cuts. A bowl top with weird layers, then a mullet. It was horrible. I was so very sad. I was trying to grow my hair long. I wanted to be able to get out of the shower with my long locks and have them cover my bewbies.
After learning how that Schmebbie is a total tard and shady for covering her mistake instead of manning up, I was forced to cut my hair short and dye it a normal color for a while to try and save my hair.
I give this place a big Schmebbie thumbs down from start to finish. Sad too! I thought it may have had potential.
So much for dreams of long bewbie covering hair for a very long time. Thanks Doucha Schmebbie! read more
