I got my hair trimmed recently. It was my first (and now last) time at Envy. I mostly chose this…read moreplace due to the convenience of scheduling an appointment online, but the reviews were also promising. The lady who trimmed my hair did a decent job and was nice. My review, however, is for an atrocious experience I had with the owner, Brandi Wilson. My sister's first time at Envy didn't go as well as mine. Someone there attempted a balayage that... Well, let's just say she's had to spend hundreds of dollars correcting at other salons. Unsure of how the refund process works, she took me with her to speak with the manager about it. Ms. Wilson was with a client when we walked in. Awkwardly, my sister had to explain her situation while Ms. Wilson washed another lady's hair. She barely looked at us and acted like we were an annoying distraction from her work. Nevertheless, my sister kindly explained that the stylist didn't use the freehand painting technique that one uses for a proper balayage. Instead, she used foils from root to tip, all over, which resulted in chunky highlights that didn't naturally blend in. It was not a balayage in any way, shape, or form. (Picture attached.) Ms. Wilson saw that picture and didn't see anything wrong with it. She responded, first, with a lecture on what balayage is in an effort to discredit us - with misinformation, no less. She said balayage "isn't necessarily a technique" - no, it is a technique. That's literally what it is, what makes it special in the first place - the unique application. The more she talked about it, the more ignorant and patronizing she came across. She told us we have to talk to the stylist and that she could give us the stylist's number. All well and good. But then she left us standing there and continued picking apart my sister's complaint. She kept saying unhelpful, inflammatory things like, "Well if you'd talked to [the stylist] first maybe she would've fixed your hair for free." I don't know if she was in a bad mood or what, but she wanted to argue. Understandably I was irritated by this, but I stayed calm. I said we didn't want the original stylist to fix my sister's hair. Ms. Wilson acted like she had been personally attacked. She raised her voice and became visibly angry, demanding, "What do you want me to do?" I tried to say we just wanted the stylist's number but she kept talking over me. It made us very uncomfortable, so I had to tell her to chill. She seriously needed to calm down; there was no need for her to get defensive and escalate the situation. Instead, she lost it. She started yelling. She told us to leave before she called the police. She shouted, and I quote, "Exit my fricken business!" I was beyond done and going to leave, but we still needed the stylist's number for a refund. So I asked her, calmly, "Could you please give us [the stylist's] contact information?" I thought it was a reasonable request. Still enraged, she snapped, "You know what? Find it online." (We have this exchange on video, by the way.) Admittedly I did call her a name right before I left, but it was my only act of aggression in the whole mess and, frankly, she deserved it after the way she treated us. I will be doing what Ms. Wilson said and staying out of her "fricken" business for good. I'm telling everyone I know to avoid Envy as well. There are better salons in the area that are professional, friendly, and highly skilled - Tease and Ross Michaels comes to mind. Ms. Wilson needs to work on basic customer service skills because this does not bode well for any business. As the owner you represent your entire salon, your staff - even if they are independent contractors. You need to treat customers with care and respect. Don't be condescending. Don't make excuses. A little empathy goes a long way. Doing a little research on balayage wouldn't hurt, either.

As for availability, pertaining to sugar waxes, definitely try timing it. I don't know if Amanda is just that popular/well booked but I have yet to be able to schedule an on the spot appointment for last minute planning (not that I need to much since hair needs time to grow anyways). As for the Salon, brought my grandmother with me on a wax appointment and she really wanted and needed a haircut so they took her in on the spot, which was awesome!

The first time I went there Michael and Kimberly were very pleasant and they did a decent job with my hair (cut and color). The next time I went I felt rushed and not listened to. The last time I went Kimberly was not pleasant at all. I asked her to do the same color job as last time and she left the front (headband) gray. I told her I wanted it light blond with some dark blonde lights so when the gray started growing in 2 weeks it would blend and not look like a white circle around my face. It was like she didn't hear me it all and I had to ask her to do it over. She did but she wasn't happy about it. Then Michael cut my hair and I would swear he was in his man-period. He didn't say 2 words to me and rushed through the cut like he was a million miles away. The last time I went there I showed pictures of the cut and color. I ended up looking nothing like the photos. If they thought my hair would not work in the style or color I wanted they should have said so and offered me an alternative. They didn't say anything and it felt like they just did what they wanted and ignored me. Needless to say I was even farther from what I wanted for my hair. I gave up and now its been about 8 months since I did anything to my hair. I think Michael and Kimberly are burned out so it depends on how they are feeling on the day you come in.

She is personable, really cares about what I am looking for, and would never, ever tease my hair.

When I was told she was no longer there, I panicked and threatened to just shave my head. Fortunately my partner has a calmer disposition and did some investigating, presenting me with an appointment with Preston at Maxwell! Not only is she the same amazing stylist, and my hair looks great again, but the salon has a much better atmosphere, with bright windows and less of the feeling that I was not dressed formally enough. Getting an appointment was easy, although I did not need *all* of the reminders they sent, and staff was pleasant as well. *After another local stylist had a shot, my partner described my hair as "Hitler Youth." This is not a good thing.

Based off other reviews, I can understand the complaint of being rushed - That should be addressed…read more I spent the first 10-12 mins of my visit waiting on an electronic consent form to be sent to email (which was sent to me upon my arrival to my appt - this should have been handled upon booking). The electronic form failed to come through so I asked for a paper copy so I could get on with my appointment. My stylist didn't even look at it so I don't understand why I needed to go through that... towards the end of my appointment, another client arrived for my stylist and I could tell the receptionist gave her a heads up to finish up with me to get to the next client. Otherwise, my experience in trying out a new stylist was great. Katie listened to what I desired and worked with me to ensure I understood the process and if I'd be comfortable with our plans. I left feeling happy with my haircut and style. It was relatively affordable considering other salons in the area, which was an added bonus. They offer a free bang trim within 4 weeks of your haircut which is very smart. I appreciated the decor and vibe of the salon overall, and Katie provided me with what I asked for. Overall great experience.

I have been here a few times, each time trying a different stylist. The theme of this salon is…read moreRUSH, RUSH, RUSH. Each visit the color was slapped on with little to no care. The color was brushed on as fast as the stylist could go. The stylists have been trained to work as fast as possible. My first visit I left with my roots still showing all around my face. The second visit was slightly better but then I realized my hair was cut crooked in the back (they don't offer you a hand mirror to look at the back of your hair when they are finished). On my last visit I tried the headspa. I was expecting a relaxing treatment. Nope. Rush, rush, rush. The massage part was met with stiff hands moving quickly with no hint of relaxation. The hand massage was about 30 seconds per hand and there was no arm massage at all. For $100 I expected a lot more. I wanted to love this salon but I don't like it at all. The whole vibe is all about speed, not care or quality. They need to lay off the social media which portrays them so inaccurately and start listening to customers wants and making sure they take the time to do what they are advertising. It's a hard no for me.

I did a lot of research online and decided that Rumors looked really great. I ended up being…read moreincredibly disappointed. Twice. It was my stylist's first day at the salon the first time I went. I asked for a shoulder length cut, with lots of layers and side swept bangs. She ended up giving me what resemble a "Mom bob" and added the bangs as an after thought, so they ended up being uneven and unruly. I decided to book another appointment, 5 weeks later, with the same stylist, because since my cut she had received awesome reviews from other clients. I wanted to give her another chance. Boy, was that a mistake! She literally had no idea who I was, even though I could clearly see my account info on the computer screen. I went in with my hair totally unstyled, which is pretty curly/full of body, and explained that I wanted more layers added through out and straight across bangs. She then proceeded to cut out HUGE chunks of hair, without getting it wet. She didn't shampoo or condition my hair (which I paid for) or get anything wet!! As she was maiming my hair, she added in a rather snotty voice that my hair really should have been straightened to have this sort of thing done. Ya think?!?!? The bangs she cut are way too long and totally uneven since they were basically dry when she cut them. I have large sections of really short hair, covered by sections of longer hair. She basically cut the layers in the very middle of my hair, not doing anything on top. One side of my head is cut shorter than they other. Needless to say, I am miserable. Not only did she destroy my hair, I now have to live with it until my hair grows out enough to fix and even things out. (Unless, of course, I want a pixie cut, which I don't!!) I will never be back, and I seriously regret ever coming here.

Prior to finding them, I was flying back to my old home town in another state every 4-6 months to have my hair done. My only regret? Not having all the cash from all the flights and hotels and rental cars I needed to GET my hair done. Rumors is a terrific place. They know what they're doing and they do it well....very well. Their focus is on your satisfaction. If it's not right, they'll make it right. Exapmle: I have had a few colour changes there and one of the changes didn't take all that well. I was asked if I could stay for a re-application or if I wanted to return to have it done. I, personally thought it looked fine, but apparently it was a bit transparent??? Anyway, I said I could stay and after the second application was rinsed out, I could see a major difference in the depth and brightness. I had no idea, but my stylist did. I must admit I am very happy with Rumors and plan to continue to go there to have my hair worked over. Lastly, would I recommend them to a friend? ABSOLUTELY!!
