I wanted the ombré bayalage but was worried that the black was on too thick and for too long. Lynn wasn't sure either but we tested my hair and it was strong enough to withhold the chemicals, she didn't want to ruin my hair. I really appreciated that since most hair stylists would fry your hair and take your money and not care. Lynn told me I have thick and beautiful hair, so she didn't want to ruin it with chemicals if my hair wasn't strong enough to manage it. Hours later, my hair came out perfectly the caramel colors I wanted and the ombré was perfect. I'm thrilled with the results and I'll be back for Lynn to help me manage this hair.

It's taken me a while to write this because I wasn't sure I wanted to, but I feel it's important to…read moreshare my experience. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed in both the customer service and the final result. First, scheduling was a nightmare. The last three times I tried to book, my stylist was unavailable the day of due to internal errors and turnover. Second, I paid specifically for the owner this most recent time, yet most of the work was done by assistants (teenagers and college students). To make matters worse, the salon was unbearably hot- no AC while sitting in foils for hours- I've literally NEVER experienced this at a professional salon. After three hours, my formerly brown hair looked nothing like the reference photo (lighter blonde). They offered to redo it -again with an assistant- but still charged for additional highlights, bringing my total to over $500 (despite being quoted $200-$300 with no notice about the price difference until I was checking out). What made me decide to write this review, however, was an off-putting comment from the owner. After a young girl came in with her father for a quote, the owner laughed about how expensive it would be because she "had dark thick Mexican hair." The assumption, tone, and laughter were unprofessional at best and offensive at worst. I ended up going to Headlines to have my hair corrected and had a fantastic experience there. Based on everything above, I would not recommend this salon. I honestly don't think these stylists know how to style or color dark, thick hair like mine (respectfully) :/

Beware of price gouge rip off by stylist Wendy Fata! The Garage salon has no website to see prices…read more When I called for a roots touch up appointment I was told Wendy had availability. Since she wasn't in at the time, so I asked Janea the owner what Wendy charges. She said she "didn't know." Why would she claim not to know? They work there together, so I'm not buying it! I went for the appointment figuring the cost would be the typical $60 to $80 rate. Wendy charged me an outrageous $190 FOR A SIMPLE ROOTS TOUCH UP & BLOW DRY! No haircut involved. As she told me the price she said, "no need to add a gratuity, it's included in the price. SHE JUST ADDED IN A TIP FOR HERSELF WITHOUT MY PERMISSION! Who does that? It's so unprofessional, unethical and scammy! Her cost was already appallingly over the top for a simple roots job! Why does she think she deserves a tip on top of that? I should never have paid that inflated amount. I called Wendy Wendy when I got home to ask if she could give me some credit back for the overcharge. She said she'd consider it and call me back. She never called. I would NEVER have agreed to a $190 roots fee if I was given an honest answer when I called to ask the price. DO NOT LET YOURSELF BE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF BY WENDY! Demand to get a price before you make an appointment. Better yet, go somewhere else with reasonable, not ridiculous fees and deceptive "gratuities."

After sickness and weight loss, my hair had become so thin that I felt like I had lost a big part of my femininity along with it. Lucky for me, the Hair Fairy took me under her wing and performed what I can only describe as a full-blown hair miracle. I walked in feeling discouraged and walked out wanting to flip my hair dramatically in every reflective surface I passed. Chelsea gave me more than beautiful hair.

Salon Adair itself is gorgeous, warm, and welcoming, with an inviting family atmosphere that immediately makes you feel comfortable. Everyone is friendly, and the entire experience feels special without ever feeling stuffy. Chelsea, you are officially stuck with me.
