Have you ever been ready to leave a hair salon with shampoo in your hair?…read more Well that was me this Tuesday at Mystique hair and salon. I would seriously given the service ( or more accurately, the lack there of) zero stars if that was an option. I called up in advance to let the salon know that I was running exactly 5 mins late for a wash and a Blo dry. They still call me 3 mins later to check. I arrive at 6:35 pm exact and let Sarah know that my hair is a week old dirty and that I would need 2 shampoos . She gives me a look and tells me that she has no time for a second shampoo and that she has a 7 pm. At this point- I let me hair out of the scrunchie and let her know that may not happen given my hair length and texture. She berates Morgan from the front desk in not letting her know about my hair and at this point she is rough and rude in her actions. Proceeds to shampoo my hair while berating me for being 5 mins late. I try to think of more pleasant things but then she proceeds to cursory shampoo without scrubbing. I tell her again that my hair is really dirty and she is rude in her response back. I get up with shampoo in my hair and ask to speak with the manager about the abysmal customer service. The manager is not there. Morgan at the front desk washes out my hair as a courtesy and I leave with the managers name and number. Sarah tries to engage with me once more "explaining" why I am wrong- I ask her to desist and walk on. Talk about customer service! You would have thought I was getting a wash and Blo dry for free or as charity the way I was treated. Not sure why they accept late appointments if the stylists are tired, bored or just not upto it. Wonder if the primary modus operandi is to collect money from hapless customers while being rude. Hmm... never known that to work anyplace before!!! Avoid this place even if it is your option if last resort especially Sarah. My first experience there about a week ago was also "borderline" rude with another stylist but I did not write about because it was borderline. But this second experience has compelled me to provide this review. People- be aware. Maybe there are others who are nicer at this salon- but this stylist was not! Oh and I tried calling the salon today to talk to the manager- but my calls went into oblivion. Maybe I will have better luck tomorrow.

I was matched with Olguita Delgado and couldn't be more pleased. She listened attentively and surprisingly asked a key question, "What were you unhappy about with your last cut?"

This is a small, conveniently located salon in downtown Princeton. I work nearby and used to get…read morehaircuts with Nicole, who's excellent at what she does: professional, consistent, and easy to talk to. For a while, it was my go-to spot. Unfortunately, I stopped going after a negative experience with one of the front desk staff (a male receptionist). I had to reschedule a same-day appointment, from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM. I understand that salons try to avoid last-minute changes, especially when schedules are tight. That said, Nicole had plenty of open slots that day, so it didn't seem like a major issue. What really made me decide to stop coming back wasn't the rescheduling policy - it was his attitude. Rude, condescending, and unnecessarily passive aggressive, especially considering this was the first time I'd rescheduled in years. The tone and way it was handled felt unprofessional and left a bad impression. Since then, I've been going to Cosmo Blue, just a few blocks away, and the experience has been better. Friendly staff, professional service, and no attitude. A colleague of mine recently mentioned having a similarly unpleasant interaction with the same receptionist (different issue, same bad attitude), which prompted me to finally write this review. It's a shame, because Nicole does great work, but the front desk experience matters too.

I'm usually not someone who leaves bad reviews because I understand people's businesses matter, but…read moreI left this appointment really disappointed. I came in asking for honey blonde highlights and even showed a reference picture. I specifically explained that if the exact color wasn't possible, I still wanted a noticeable blonde look, preferably on the golden side. Instead, I ended up with extremely thin highlights that are barely visible and nothing close to what I asked for. What upset me even more was the haircut. I clearly said multiple times that I only wanted my ends trimmed and cleaned up not a haircut. My hair was nearly waist length when straightened , and she cut it to bra length with layers that I never asked for. When I expressed that I felt too much was cut off, my concerns were brushed aside and I was repeatedly told "it's cute" and that I'd like it. I'm disappointed because I felt unheard throughout the entire appointment. I came in with clear communication and left feeling like my stylist did what she personally wanted instead of listening to what I asked for.
