However, what did bother me is that she used my appointment to make up for lost time. I got a shampoo, cut, and style all in 15 minutes, and paid $70 (including tip) for the service. I couldn't tell anything had been done. On another visit, I waited 20 minutes for her, only to discover that she had erased me from her schedule! (I had the text messages to show that i had indeed been scheduled.). Her response was a simple Omg, so sorry. Lastly, Kim seems to have absolutely no interest in getting to know her clients. In over a year, she never asked me a single question about myself or my family. There are far better stylists out there who show a greater respect for their clientele

Updated to respond to the owner's most recent comment. The pictures were taken as soon as I came…read morehome from Adrift Hair on December 30th, 2025. I paid for the bombshell blonde package and these were the results that even the owner/stylist, Crystal, states looks like 6-8 weeks of grow out. Additionally you can see a lack of blending, bleeding, and brassiness. All which led me to having corrective services 3 days later. I had one consultation and 3 service appointments at Adrift. As stated previously, while I wasn't fully satisfied with the first two service appointments, I thought they were a result of communication issues. It is not uncommon that results may not be exactly as you hoped, it was only after the results below from my 12/30/25 appointment that it was obviously not a matter of miscommunication and I decided not to return and sought another professional's opinion 3 days later. Based on their shock at the condition of my hair, I privately messaged the salon to provide feedback. I did not ask for a refund. When Crystal responded by saying the pictures were not of her work, I decided to write a review in an attempt to warn others. It's my belief that mistakes happen, but when the person is unwilling to recognize a need for improvement they will likely make the same mistake again. This mistake cost me not only money, but time, stress, and confidence. I received a legal threat from the salon in response to my honest review and even though my review was posted more than 6 months ago she is still updating her response to the review which includes a false accusation of me including misleading pictures. The pictures were taken within an hour of my last appointment at Adrift Hair on 12/30/25. They have not been altered and are a true representation of what my hair looked like as a result of Crystal's work on 12/30/25. Beyond the undesirable hair results, the owner's response to constructive criticism is the reason for my 1 star review.

My hair stylist, Audrey, is not only extremely talented but also a warm and welcoming human being.

I have major trust issues when it comes to hair stylists and she's the first one to touch my hair in about three years. I'm so happy to have found her. I will most definitely continue to book with her for all my future hair needs! First picture is my horrific before and the second picture is my new and VERY improved hair. I'm obsessed!!

I was really looking forward to having my hair done by Samantha Shavonn Hair Studio after reviewing…read morepictures & videos on Instagram, but now I wish I had seen the last review posted on Yelp before booking a hair appointment with Samantha Shavonn Hair Studio. I don't usually post bad reviews, but these online booking scams must STOP. I booked an appointment on 1/30/2025 to have my hair done on 2/20/2025. I never heard anything from the stylist to confirm my appointment (which is ok) however, the evening before my appointment there was inclement weather, prompting me to try and reach out to the stylist as not to be a no show. Unfortunately, there was no telephone number on the booking site to contact the stylist in order to see if the appointment was still on, so I tried reaching out to the stylist on Instagram a few days before my appointment to confirm but I received no response. Then I finally found a number on Yelp and called it several times the day before my appointment, but no one answered. It wasn't until 8:39am the day of my 10:00am hair appointment that I heard something from Samantha Shavonne referencing rescheduling the appointment for another time/day. (Please see photo of the text thread.) I was more than okay rescheduling the appointment for a later time/day due to the weather and how far I was traveling. Unfortunately, I never received a response from Samantha Shavonne to reschedule. It has now been over a month from the date of my appointment, and I still have not heard anything from her. Confirming her unprofessionalism. Long story short, of course she kept the $20 deposit!! She doesn't even follow her own rules! (See photos from her booking site below) At this point, I consider that money a loss for me, but I hope it's a blessing to her. My only intent for this review is to inform future clients of my experience and hope that this stylist makes a positive professional change when dealing with future clients so that they do not waste their time & money.

The salon is located inside with other salon suites. The suite was nicely decorated and clean. There was a bit of a wait because there was someone there who was still being serviced. She worked with me in I had the shampooing and conditioning treatments. There was a bit of confusion with the service I booked, which was a shampoo, condition, blow-dry, and two basic cornrows. Betty quickly cleared that up and did exactly what I asked. Betty is very professional and she's experienced in the industry. I appreciated the level of customer service I received here. I'm not 100% sold that this salon is the best fit. The time I spent here was more time than what I expected for the services I booked. The experience was an overall 4-star for the professionalism and courtesy of the salon owner Betty, and the price point is reasonable. Betty gave me some hair growth cream to strengthen the parameters of my hairline and hopefully help with new hair growth. I feel like I've seen some progress there. The products used here are top tier and I'm confident that most will be satisfied with the service.

Then all that went away after I came here. Cut was wrong and was too short for the style I had showed her that I wanted, edges not done, and she wanted me to leave before she had even finished my hair. She acted like she was rushing and like she knew what was best for me and not taking what I wanted into account even though I showed her pictures of previous cuts I've had on what I like. She did not take care of me and now I have to find a new stylist and wait in the meantime for my hair to grow a bit more before i let someone else touch my head. I took pictures throughout the process but I will not return because I know the difference between a good stylist and one that just wants your money. The only reason I'm not giving her a one star review is because I like the color. When stylists mess up your hair I encourage people to always speak out and put it in the review because I went off all these positive reviews thinking she was going to take care of me and that was not the case.

I grew it out for a few months, but couldn't wait through the sides getting long. I saw Amanda for a consultation for hair extensions and balayage. When I came back for the appointment, everything went perfectly. Amanda is so pleasant and wears extensions, so she was very knowledgeable and wanted me to look fantastic. She colored my hair to perfectly match the extensions. I had brought a picture to the consultation and my hair looks exactly like the picture. This was one of the best experiences I've ever had in a salon. I am now a lifetime client. I'll continue to wear extensions even after my hair is long again, in order to add volume to my fine hair. I'm starting to get some gray hairs and she is now my colorist for life! I've had my extensions for three weeks now and they are wearing perfectly. I feel so pretty!

I went to Sher earlier this summer bored of my hair and looking to add some color, along with getting a much-needed mid-pandemic cut. Sher is an amazing colorist and really takes the extra time to make sure your color and your cut are what you want and what works for you. We tried several different shades in demis until I finally settled on the one I wanted and went permanent. I also wanted a lot of weight off of my hair, so she gave me an undercut that blended right into my hair! If you want a great hairstylist that cares, set up an appointment with Sher.
