I'm a snow bird so I only come here once a year. Greg does a great job on my color and cut. He even gave me the formula to take back to my girl back home. Definitely recommend this place. It is a bit pricey, but worth it. read more

I had a very disappointing experience at Avenue Hair Design with stylist Madysn. Before my appointment, I was asked to send inspiration photos and was led to believe the look I wanted could be achieved. Had I been told otherwise, I would not have taken time off work, driven a significant distance, or rearranged my schedule. I felt misled. I was very clear that I wanted a blended blonde balayage with blonde throughout, including brighter face-framing pieces in the front, while keeping my natural darker root. I also requested baby lights throughout to match the inspiration photos. The results looked nothing like what I asked for. There is still a visible line/band and the color is not properly blended. The blonde I've had for years is gone, leaving my hair orange/caramel fading into light brown instead of blonde. I've been blonde for about 20 years and know this look is achievable, as my regular stylist has done it successfully for years. I also grew my hair out for over a year to keep it healthy and restore my natural dark roots, and that progress cannot be undone. I took before and after photos and have documentation. When I contacted the salon afterward, the front desk manager was dismissive, told me I was "wrong," and showed no concern for how unhappy I was. I was offered toning, but I do not feel comfortable allowing further chemical services due to the risk of damage, and I should not be expected to return after receiving results that were not what I requested. I will not be returning, and I'm sharing this so others can make an informed decision THEY WILL NOT GIVE A REFUND!!!! read more

I have been here twice with both good experiences, however on my third visit, they wanted a credit card on file. DONT ever comply to this policy. Their computers can be hacked or maybe a unhappy employee can go on a field day on my CC. I don't even leave a CC with my doctors. I spent $300 plus on my last visit with a hearty tip. They would not give be another appointment because I would not leave a CC. There are plenty of great places to go in Venice that don't require my CC in advance. Leaving a credit card on file at a hair salon presents risks regarding data security, potential unauthorized or erroneous charges, and, in some cases, inflexible cancellation fees. While salons use cards to protect against no-shows, storing your information increases vulnerability to data breaches, unauthorized staff access, or disputes over service quality. read more

My recent review appears to have been deleted by salon. It IS important for any new customer to be aware. READ OTHER 1 star reviews.....this salon has a very unfavorable google review. Buyer BEWARE. This salon prioritizes rigid policies and profit over customer care. Credit cards are held weeks in advance, cancellations are penalized harshly, and there is little flexibility or understanding for reasonable changes. I was charged $85 for a haircut that was never completed and later told my hair needed more time to grow. When I returned for a follow-up assessment to assure this time I would receive a style cut and not a 10 minute trim and then sent on my way.... the owner shut the process down completely and refused to discuss options. The lack of accountability and customer respect was shocking. I left feeling dismissed and taken advantage of. I strongly advise others to look elsewhere. Worst customer experience.... read more

I had the BEST time at my most recent visit with madysen! We did a change from my normal and took me more lived in plus a trim (which I absolutely needed) and I could not be happier. From the way she presents herself down to the thorough consultation we had, I knew I was in good hands. You can tell she truly loves what she does in ability to make it look effortless. I will most definitely continue to see her and look forward to coming to the salon! read more

Avenue Hair Design - My after picture ! - Hair Salons Near Me - Venice, Florida

WORST SALON EXPERIENCE EVER! PLEASE READ AND SAVE YOURSELF THE MONEY AND HAIR DAMAGE. They previously removed my review off Google since the truth and accountability hurts feelings. Here's another attempt at saving anyone else the trouble. If I could give 0 stars I would. I've been getting my hair done for 8 years, this was my 2nd visit with Courtney. Both times I provided clear instruction and description of expectation with confirmed understanding by her. First visit, I was understanding it was our initial encounter and remained reasonable to the fact establishment and preference takes time. Second visit, I ask for the same as my first which was a full highlight, concerned about blending at the root and air touch on top to ensure blending was done well. Generally in my 8 years of hair coloring, I get a root smudge to ensure adequate blending. This time she recommend there was not a need. Results are as seen in the photos below. I would NOT recommend seeing her or supporting this salon in its entirety. Specifically for the fact she did not see the obvious issue with clear inaccuracy of work or requested outcome, poor quality of work, lack of detail orientation, or ability to handle constructive criticism. Upon "completion" of this appointment I expressed multiple concerns regarding clearly concerning areas as seen in photos. She diminished my concerns of wanting a root smudge and said "I mean if it's that big of a deal to you then you can come back to get it done but it only lasts a few washes". I mentioned how surprised I was that she wasn't able to get any closer to my roots as it looks grown out already. Her response was, "I don't think I can get any closer to the root". I reassured her that I was confident she could get closer as I've never had someone do a fresh color so far off, I also tried to reassure her that I came to her because her displayed work gave me confidence in her ability and I'm willing to give it another shot. She seemed understanding and also reassured me if I wasn't satisfied that I could make a decision within 7 days of my appointment and they would accommodate my needs and fix the issue without cost. With that said, I called the following 4 days after my appointment with left voicemails and got no returned call. When I reached out again, someone named Alicia finally answered who did not allow me to explain my situation and interrupted me with the assumed knowledge of the stylist, Courtney. Alicia expressed I could come in for a root smudge but because Courtney stated I refused it when offered that I would have to pay for it. Attempting to explain my side, Alicia diminished my perspective and dissatisfaction with the fact it should've been done from the start but was discouraged. When I called back to speak to Alicia again, I requested additional highlights to be done on areas that were not done at all or properly. Alicia stated that would also be at my own cost. What happened to the culture of the customer being right, with reasonable intent? As a small business, it is astonishing the "front desk manager" Alicia or store owner wouldn't do everything in their power to ensure a satisfied customer with compensation for such inability. I don't shit on small business ever, go ahead and read my other established reviews. If anything, I encourage small business but this salons ethic speaks to much more. read more

When I reached out to the salon due to a promotion they were running for a free haircut with color service they told me they could get me close to the balayage I was asking for with a picture. I was there for three hours and after my hair was dried I told her it looked nothing like a balayage. She made excuses and blamed my hairs inability to change to that color. Then I got the bill for $292!!! Seriously?!?! I cry on the way home because the hair looks awful and decide to call back the next day to have them fix it or give my money back. They refuse to answer my phone call four times, so I called from a friends phone and they answered. They asked for pictures which I sent them and they told me there was nothing they could do to help me. This place is terrible!!! Also, Grace did not know how to do a balayage. Avoid this place like the plague. read more

( original review 5 stars) 10 months ago was my first time at this salon, since I just moved into town. I was very impressed with the level of care I received from the stylist, Ashley( 5 stars for Ashley). It had been awhile since I had gotten my hair done. Because of the move and all, so my hair was very dry and my color desperately needed to be done. Ashley helped my hair match the color I was used to and give it nutrition, and glaze for luxurious-looking and feeling hair. Thank you Ashley for all your time and attention. Today was a different story! I did not feel cared for...I did not feel heard. I felt disrespected and dismissed. The end result my needs were not met... I have PTSD and need just one person doing my hair. And the last 3 visits, there has been another woman helping Ashley. This is no offense to her. I called Monday to respect everyone's schedules and policy and left a message with the receptionist to have Ashley call me before my appointment on Friday. So we could work on a solution since I love how she cares for my hair. I did not get a call back. I showed up at my appointment today and asked to speak to Ashley privately. I discussed my needs and we came up with a solution to make an appointment for me to be the last client of the day. I was relieved! This was very difficult and uncomfortable to stick up for myself. I don't like the harm that I have survived interfering with my day-to-day stuff. But It does! PTSD is real and frightening when triggered! I went to the front desk to make a new appointment with Ashley. I was told I couldn't make an appointment in the salon until I had PAID for this one. Which I felt was ridiculous since I had understood that policy and had called earlier in the week to deal with this so as not to waste anyone's time. I can't make someone call me back. It's not my fault that she didn't have time to return a phone call. I had done what was asked of me. Yet here was the owner, Claire, stating again and again that it's policy and INSISTING that I can't make an appointment in this salon until I paid for this one. Not accepting that I had followed protocol on my end. This is the most money I have ever spent on my hair ( which I felt had been worth it since Ashley does a beautiful job). But there is no way I was paying for not having my hair done because I followed the policy. The fact that the owner was so rigid in her convictions and couldn't see it was not my problem. I had followed protocol! Sadly, I have left Ashley unable to return because I will not pay for a service I did not receive. It shows me that the energy in this salon from this owner is toxic and confirms that I do not want to give my money, time, and energy to this establishment. read more

I was charged for a hair appointment ($256) which I did not make. The salon had my debit card number. I was told that I needed to cancel the appointment 24 hours ahead and that multiple reminder messages were sent out via text and email. I received one text reminder message 2 hours before the appointment. I attempted to resolve the dispute with the owner, Clair, but she hung up on me. She stated that it is their policy and that multiple reminder messages were sent out. I must file a dispute with the debit card company. read more

Would Not Recommend This Place. Pros They have a couple good Hairdressers Here. Yana being a good one. Cons The place is pricey $$$$. (You can find a place that is less pricey, and can probably do just as well and or better). Current management is Ashley. X read more

0/10 The prices are too expensive for the quality of service you will receive. The business Avenue Hair Design stores your credit card information without your consent. You will get charged 50% of your appointment if you try to reschedule or cancel an appointment. I understand a nominal fee for a cancellation, but over $100 fee for no service ??????Not to mention the receptionist is unprofessional and rude. I do NOT recommend. It's a zero out of ten as far as customer service goes. There are way too many other salons that offer quality service at a lot less money and aggravation. read more

Finally I have found someone (Ashley) who understands curly hair! How to cut it and how to maximize your curls. She's a great educator and did a great job with my long wavy curly hair! The experience with her assistant and the rest of the crew there was top notch! I finally found my place! Thanks Ashley! read more

I was in Venice visiting family over the holidays, and my aunt and I both saw Dean for a wash and blow dry. He did a great job, listened to what we wanted and made our hair look great. He and the rest of the staff were very nice as well. The salon was very clean and had a good vibe. I'll be back next time I'm in town! read more

I'm new in town, have curly hair and highlights/lowlights every four to five months. I scheduled online for a full foil, which included styling. I normally air dry my hair but am always curious about curly styling ideas. When I received my email confirmation it said my 'finishing' would be with an assistant. I wrote and requested the stylist from start to finish. I was told that is not how it's done, and the assistant can do everything the stylist does. I asked myself, 'then why aren't they stylists too?' It was too late to cancel without incurring a fee, so I decided I was being persnickety and would keep the appointment. My stylist Ashley is knowledgable and gladly shared her curly styling and product tips. We chatted be about my hair color and agreed to a plan. I had combed my hair out before I went so that it was snarl-free. From experience, I know that makes it easier for the stylist and for myself. Things went downhill from there. The assistant rinsed my hair and applied a toner, which I was not quoted the price for. He was pushy about wanting to add a protein product to my hair but I said no thank you several times. He said that, 'you better have it done the next time.' As I said, I never apply heat to my hair and get highlights every 4-5 months, have it trimmed, so my hair is not overly damaged. It was frustrating to have to keep saying no to him. When he was using a wet brush to apply the conditioner, he snarled my hair so horribly that he could not get the snarls out. I was watching with a mirror and it did not look good. I asked him what was going on and he said it was fine. It looked to me as if he was smearing the brush around over a section of my hair again and again. The stylist came over after quite awhile and said, 'what's up.' I can see why she did, because it was clearly taking far too long to wash and rinse my hair. They whispered to each other. She proceeded to take 45 minutes to pick out the snarl he created. I mentioned that I'd never seen a snarl that bad in my hair, ever, and her reply was, 'it's just your shed.' I'd expect some hair to come out after a foil but this snarl was epic, at least 2 inches in diameter. She finally got the snarl out, managing to hide it in her cupped hand. I really wanted to bolt, but I managed stay put. They wanted to finish the appointment. At this point, it was an hour past when I should have been done. I do like my color. But I was distressed with the lack of professionalism. Ashley's assistant made a mistake, was not gentle, and my hair was a massive snarl, but to blame it on my hair instead of taking responsibility and apologizing made me lose confidence in them. The next day, I woke up to burns on my forehead from the product they used. They neglected to cover my skin with emollient. The cost was far higher than what was specified on their website for a full foil. The final bill came as another unpleasant surprise. 4 1/2 hours later, I left the salon. Ashley is pleasant and knowledgable. But I cannot return, only to be handed over to an inexperienced assistant, be subtly blamed for the snarl they created, have a burned forehead and charges added without informing me beforehand. read more

Always a positive experience. The atmosphere of the salon is upbeat and the environment is relaxing. Miranda is an experienced and highly skilled stylist who does superb work with my color and cut, but is always open to questions, comments or requests. I have been a client since 2020 and have always been pleased with the services I have received. read more

One of my worst experiences ever !! I was a big fan for this place and recommended it to all of my friends and family but i have been treated by them the worst way i have ever had !! I was a regular customer of this salon and one day i called to make an appointment and they told me that i am banned !! And not allowed to make an appointment anymore !! And the most ridiculous thing is that they didn't even mention why !! And I requested to talk with a supervisor or the manager to understand what's wrong!! and nobody reached out to me !! This is so unacceptable! If you have a problem with me, just tell me, but if you are just practicing discrimination this will be your problem! This is my full honest experience with this salon and i will never recommend it for anyone anymore! It was my baby gender reveal party and I i had no time to try another salon . I was depending on them and they failed me. I had to do my hair myself although i was so tired. read more

Dean is great. Color was right on. Cut was to my liking. Salon staff very friendly & welcoming. Salon is clean & quiet. Convenient location I will go back read more

Best haircut and color that I've had in decades! Ashley is phenomenal and the salon is exceptional too. I recently moved here from Washington state and my former Redken stylist found Ashley through a professional organization and selected her for me based on her strict training and certifications. Ashley's advanced knowledge of how color processes on the hair and her decade of experience is impressive. I received the best haircut that worked for my type of hair and styling requirements. Ashley provides an expert opinion without conveying an arrogance and I trust her knowledge. My color has never looked so good. I am very pleased and will continue driving a half hour plus out of my neighborhood to visit the Avenue Hair Design and Ashley. She is worth it! The salon is beautifully designed and glamourous. Visually, the interior is stunning, and the salon's layout is highly functional for receiving color treatments, washing, styling and cutting. Parking is ample and convenient as well. Upon entry, customers are greeted and treated like a valued guest. Various beverages are offered, and attention is provided to each guest. The salon runs efficiently with booking future appointments done while customers wait for hair to be processed and not at the end of the appointment when people can be rushed. The promotional program for new customers is impressive with incentives given to first, second and third time appointments. Pricing is fair and reasonable for the quality of workmanship received and products such as Pureology, Goldwell, Redken and Olaplex are offered. The team is very friendly and work smartly, and customers are treated well here. Attention is given at every stage of the process. I highly recommend visiting Avenue Hair Design and the wonderful team members such as Ashley. You will be treated fabulously. read more

I am so happy with my results! Went to Nicolle for a cut and color. I had been coloring my own roots and my hair kept getting darker and darker. I needed to bring it up a shade. I also wanted to add some style to my hair (nothing drastic but just enough to change things up a bit). Nicolle nailed it! She had never met me or seen my hair before but after talking with me for a bit, she delivered exactly what I was looking for. I couldn't be happier! Christina D. read more

Very talented folks. They are good at listening and providing what you request. The stylist is quite knowledgeable.

Recently moved to the area and lucked into an appointment with Dean. The salon is beautiful, and very clean. Dean is phenomenal! My hair looks healthier, and the color is beautiful. He is very knowledgeable and definitely a people person. 2nd appointment already booked, and I will refer my friends and family! read more

New Review: 1 star Kelly Nicole left. Prices increased about 40% under a new owner. I was a few minutes early for my appointment. The door was locked. I called. No answer. I left a message that the door was locked and obviously, I'm cancelling my appointment. I'm always a few minutes early out of respect for the prep work and the hairdressers time. I thought they went out of business. No sign on the door. I tried to work with them through numerous issues with the new owner. But, this took the cake when I received a message that they were in a meeting and don't open the door until exactly 10:00 AND IF I WANTED TO MAKE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT I WOULD HAVE TO PREPAY 50%. I'm always a couple minutes early and was not informed of this new policy. No apology from them. Guess what? There are lots of other hair salons that aren't rude. Why pay top dollar to be treated poorly? Old review was 5 stars: Kelly Nicole does an awesome job! I have always had nightmare curls and I was not able to manage them well at all. Kelly hooked me up with a fab Deva curl cut and products. Changed my hair and changed my life. No more struggles and fighting with my hair. My hair looks great and is super easy to handle. Especially in this climate. I'm so glad I came here and met Kelly! She rocks! read more

Recently visited for a root touch-up and trim. Enjoyed the visit but didn't like how the color turned out. Overall it looks okay. Not fabulous and not beautiful, just okay. The stylist just grabbed chunks of hair to color and I can literally see theses stripes in my hair when it's wet or pulled back. I really wish I had noticed it when I was there. Had I wanted it to look like I colored my own hair, I would have saved the (overpriced) money and just done it myself. Never again will I schedule a color appointment for the end of the day, nor will I schedule an appointment at a salon where the receptionist has rainbow-colored hair. read more

After many many years of going here I had a horrific experience last week. First of all the prices have got out of hand. Then, I had an appointment for color touch up and had a family emergency- my 7 year old granddaughter had to be with me for my appointment- my son in law was on his way to get her(about 20 minutes away)- they had the audacity to tell me I had to reschedule because they don't allow children under 15 in salon!!! I left very unhappily and then my poor granddaughter APOLOGIZED to ME- she said it was her fault I couldn't get my hair done. She had her earbuds and iPad to play games. It's not like the salon is in upper east side NYC!! Will never step foot in there again! read more

I've traveled around the US for the past 20+ years and have had my hair cut by many different stylists. I was going to Virasana Salon on the island, but after they unwisely decided to mix politics with business and the stylist continued to not cut my hair consistently, I desperately needed a change. I can truly say that Ashley and Avenue Hair Design is one of the best salons I've been to! I have curly hair and only trust it in the hands of someone who is certified in curly hair care. Avenue has the most such stylists around and Ashley is an expert at all things hair, especially curly hair! The salon itself was clean, bright but calming, and the staff were all so friendly and professional. Making an appointment was easy too. As a first time client, they even give you a Welcome gift bag with some goodies and excellent coupons too! What a great surprise! read more

This review is about their magic sleek process only: Warning - long I went to Avenue Hair Design based on their reviews since I wanted magic sleek. I have had magic sleek 3 times before in NJ with amazing results - my hair was shiny, straight and no frizz!! I have also been in touch with the magic sleek people (yes....they are reputable and care about clients) over this ordeal. Christy did my magic sleek she is lovely. With that said when she was doing it I observed hardly any product going into my hair - literally she mixed a tablespoon at a time. I questioned it and she said you don't need a lot and they say so on the bottle. (Not my previous experience!) Also prior to straightening after the magic sleek has been in ur hair there is a rinse step - she rinsed and rinsed and rinsed and I again questioned it- she stated that the process is completed and this rinse is not affecting it - COMPLETELY INCORRECT. It's between barely a rinse to a 6 second rinse. Finally she barely straightened my hair but no point in expanding because she literally rinsed out all the product. Of course I went home - a day later washed my hair and boom - frizz. So - I called magic sleek and got the instructions because they are fabulous and spoke w owner. She explained what I already understood.....Christy did not use enough product, rinsed it out and didn't flat iron enough - minimum 20 passes with a flat iron for straightening and anti frizz. Magic Sleek tried to call the salon and guess what - they couldn't be bothered to talk to them. Now let me ask you....how pompous and irresponsible can a salon be to assume they are doing something right when it did not work and perhaps their training was bad (virtual)? The OWNER of the product and process -Magic Sleek - that Avenue Hair Design is promoting, could not get in touch with them. Avenue says they will do it again and to their credit Christy did my hair again. What went wrong again: 1. Christy's insistence she used enough product - she stated the bottle says don't over use. Yes, Christy, but use enough and not only on new growth!!! She acted like it was liquid gold. 2. She passed through my hair 8-10 times with flat iron. (Yes I counted every pass - I knew this would be another epic fail) Again - I have the written instructions from magic sleek - to straighten and get rid of frizz, you need to pass the flatiron holding hair firmly 20-30 times! Yes that's a fact. Hair should have been saturated w product from root to end (not for me!) and the rinse after blow dry prior to straightening is seconds!!! (This time she got that right) FYI I heard stylists discussing magic sleek at Avenue Hair Design with clients calling it a smoothing and anti frizz process - WRONG it is and can also be a straightening process! I called magic sleek upon leaving the salon and the owner told me it's probably not going to work based on the facts I described. She was right. I wasted my time sitting through this process twice not to mention they wanted to see my hair before agreeing to redo it and this salon is almost an hour away. Next step: found new salon, spoke with owner who clearly understands the magic sleek process and guess what - she even called magic sleek to make sure it's safe to repeat the process on my hair - wow - a responsible salon owner! Do not go to Avenue Hair Design for Magic Sleek if you have frizzy or wavy hair by any stretch - IF Magic Sleek worked for you at this salon then you either got lucky or ur hair must not be super frizzy or ur stylist understands the process better than mine, used enough product and straightened ur hair at the proper temp and with 20 passes. Thumbs down big time for a few reasons! Also the fact that this salon would not speak to the people at Magic Sleek speaks volumes in terms of learning a process properly and wanting a happy client. They don't do Magic Sleek right and certainly not according to the instructions from the Magic Sleek company. I want my money back! Completely waste of time and money! Horrible! I would post a pic of my frizz but it's embarrassing! read more

This review is about a new stylist at Avenue Hair Design, Jennifer B. I was a client of Jennifer's for over 25 years when we both lived in St. Louis, MO. We both live in Florida now, only I'm about four hours away, otherwise I would be a client of Jennifer's at this salon. Jennifer is a Master Stylist and so talented with color and styling of hair. I completely trusted her with my hair and she never disappointed. She is a true professional and strives to make every one of her clients happy and satisfied during their appointment. I encourage anyone looking for a new stylist or if you are new to the area, make an appointment with Jennifer B.! You won't be disappointed. read more

Yama butchered my hair. I said I wanted it short. She gave me a buzz cut. $53 for a barber could do for $15. She asked if I wanted scissors or the buzz cutter. I selected cutter not knowing she would go up the whole back of my head. I hate it. My appointment was at 6:30. It took 1/2 hour. I think she wanted to go home. Please don't make an appointment with her. You will regret it. My husband suggested wearing a hat. When I said it's too short she replied "you said you wanted it short. BUT NOT A BUZZ CUT. I hate it. Yama is awful. read more

I just moved here have and been looking for a stylist for my unruly, over-processed curly hair. It took a couple of tries but I found Heather at Avenue Hair Design. She is Amazing. She took her time and cut my hair dry to match my curl pattern ( if you have curly hair, you get this) if your looking for a stylist who is educated on style and product, go see Heather. Reasonable pricing. They were running a special on color but I think they are one of those salons that runs service specials every month. They also gave me 2 free service upgrades . I got a paraffin dip and eyebrow fill in. I'm so happy I found my stylist. read more

Avenue Hair Design - My amazing oil slick/mermaid hair by Shannon! - Hair Salons Near Me - Venice, Florida

I was a drop in and had a base color with foils done. It was done very well. The skill level of my stylist was excellent. However, I felt as if they "nickel and dime" a bit. When you're looking to do something for yourself or have a day of beauty, the last thing you feel like doing is having to play "let's make a deal" with pricing. I sort of felt that I was buying a car at a high volume dealership with the negotiation. Basics like materials, and essentials like a blow dry should be included and built into the pricing. Disclosing that you're being charged a $1 to dispose of materials in a "green way" is kind of tacky. It's part of being in business.. overhead, cost, labor, hourly rate, supplies ect... Any 5 star salon blow dries your hair without charging you an additional $35 bucks in labor costs. I'd go back, I guess because the services were good, but might check some other places out first. read more

Extremely nice staff and the salon is gorgeous. Courtney is very helpful and talented. I love my new style!

If I could give zero stars I would. Was in town visiting a friend about 3 weeks ago and wanted to get my hair done and feel special. Ladies you know what I'm talking about! Found this place on YELP and thought i would give it a try. My friend Liz and I came in wanting to ask a few questions and show them some pictures. Not sure who I spoke with but she was very rude. She mentioned that with my type of hair, it wouldn't turn blonde, it maybe go an orangey color and that I would have to do it twice. She suggested a light brown. Umm, arent you a professional? I could get it orange on my own! I dont want brown, i want blonde. I've never had problems with a stylist dying my hair ANY color. What made me even more uncomfortable is that they mentioned to me about having to possibly sign a wavier. Is this part of their policy? Ive been to plenty of salons and NEVER been asked to sign any type of form. This to me seems weird and gave me a gut feeling that they've had problems before with customers. My friend Liz just ended up getting her hair cut and wasnt very happy. She asked to have her dead ends removed and not all of them were gone. Im glad I didnt get my hair done and I warn anyone who is thinking of coming here. read more
