I used to really like Muse, but my most recent experience at Muse left a lot to be desired. I went…read morefor a partial balayage touch up after having grown out my hair without any glazing or maintenance for the past 6 months. The balayage had grown in beautifully and I had no complaints other than wanting to redo the roots and darken the color since it lightened up over time. Chelsea had done such an excellent job before, and I was excited to book my touch up with her. Everything was fine until Chelsea blew out my hair and it came out way too light-lighter than the color I had come in with. She drastically overlightened my hair and had to glaze me twice-something I don't think either of us were expecting. After the second glaze the final color was improved but still seemed to miss the mark of what I hoped to achieve. In any case, a week goes by and I notice that my hair lightened up several shades with brassy undertones after only 2 washes with a color safe shampoo. I was confused considering I just had it darkened. When I called to express that I was unhappy with the color, the manager quickly got in contact with me and offered to fit me in the same day to correct it. When I came into the salon, Chelsea had already mixed the colored glaze before seeing my hair or discussing it with me. She didn't ask me what my concerns were and immediately had someone else apply the glaze to my hair. After Chelsea glazed me again, the color was improved but inexplicably light/blond in certain areas. She applied a bit more of the glaze to some of the lighter portions which helped improve the color a bit more. When I asked if she could dry me with a curl instead of drying straight she very tersely told me "I don't have time and this is free so..." as if I hadn't paid ~$300 10days prior for a coloring service that failed to meet my goals. She also didn't finish drying my hair and only dried the front sending me out with damp hair in the back of my head. I left the salon upset about how much time and money was wasted on a frustrating experience with mixed results. This experience has turned me off to this salon. I will not be returning for services in the future. The good: responsive management The bad: inconsistent service with unprofessional/borderline rude stylists and high price tags

Ann Marie is a friendly, warm person, but talks A LOT while working on hair. I can't help but think this distracts her. A friend of mine has been going here for years.

Never in my life have I felt compelled to leave a negative review - until i visited Randy at All Is…read moreVanity and unknowingly sat while he SUPER GLUED extensions into my hair. I had a consultation with Randy in early August of this year, where we agreed I would be receiving 24" extensions to add length to my hair. When i asked about what technique would be used to install them, Randy insisted that his technique was special and secretive. On August 30th I received cut, color, and extension services from him .But when the service ended it was nothing like what we had agreed on. After 8+ hours of work, my hair was still shoulder length, sloppily cut, and my scalp was in immense pain. Randy put 100+ micro braids into my hair and used SUPERGLUE to hold them in place. After 8 hours of work my hair looked exactly the same as it did upon entering. Randy suggested I could come back the following day to have the service "fixed". When no visible change was made I confronted him and he began to curse me out and threaten to call police on me if i did not pay him $1300 for the failed service. When I showed him that there was no difference from the "before" photo i took before the appointment, he told me I was lying and yelled at me to "get the fuck out". To top all this, Randy ordered hair for me that he insisted was real human hair and charged $500 for. A quick test with a hot iron showed that it was actually synthetic hair, and i was straight-up scammed out of $500. Mere days after the service, I had CHUNKS of extensions falling out of my hair as the glue disintegrated (extensions that Randy told me would last for months). I was forced to quickly find a REAL professional who was forced to use harsh chemicals to soak the literal superglue out of my hair, pick out clumps of glue, and completely re-do the initial "extensions" using a REAL technique - IBE. It is currently November 19th (almost 3 months later) and there are still matted sections of my hair covered in CHUNKS of Superglue because of the 'work' done by Randy Fotia. I have not been able to run a hairbrush through my hair for MONTHS because of this dude. Please run. I cannot stress enough what an absolute hair nightmare i experienced after 1 day in this salon. I trusted all of the amazing reviews only to leave looking like Raggedy Ann. For the love of god do not let this person touch your head. Attached are pictures of my hair and scalp, complete with time stamps to the day of the service at All is Vanity. Before, After, a closeup of superglue / braids on my scalp, and a timestamped photo of the extensions falling out within 2-4 days of the "permanent" extension service i received here. Last pic shows the 22" extensions I ultimately ended up getting installed at a different salon with real, trained professionals. They look nothing like the fake hair that was superglued into my scalp at All Is Vanity salon.

Randy at All Is Vanity went several better than Not A Mullet and gave me a lovely haircut that actually has shape and makes me feel that I am no longer drowning in a mass of hair (especially good as I'm trying to grow said mass out). At $60 plus tip it wasn't cheap (huge understatement alert) but I only get my hair cut about once a year so I figure I can swing it. I made an appointment with Randy mostly because I liked the name of his shop, and I'm very glad I did.

I've been researching lash lifts for a while, and after searching Google I found this salon because…read morethey offered a Groupon. Looking back, that should have been my first red flag--the Groupon only saved about $15 compared to the salon's regular price, but I didn't think much of it. My second red flag was when I arrived and noticed the technician wasn't wearing gloves. During the service, my eyes were burning while I listened to the timer go off multiple times. I was left alone for so long that I had to repeatedly call out, "Miss?" and "Excuse me?" before someone finally came back. I normally tint my own brows, so I wasn't planning on adding that service. However, I decided to treat myself since it had been a long time, and I agreed to a brow tint and dye. Unfortunately, the results were awful. My brows looked blocky, overly dark, and completely unnatural. I specifically asked several times if they would look natural, and although I was told the dye would stay on for 15 minutes, I became concerned and asked her to remove it after about seven minutes because I felt it was already getting too dark. My concerns were valid. After seeing how the tint turned out, I agreed to have my brows waxed--not because I needed a wax, but because the tint had been applied unevenly, without any real mapping or attention to shape. Unfortunately, that only made things worse. During the wax, my skin was burned, wax got into my eyebrow, and the technician had to ask another employee what she should do. As for my lashes, they're stiff, crunchy, and overprocessed. Even worse, the entire outer third of one eye was missed. The technician told me those lashes had been "stuck under the pad" and that she noticed it. If it was noticed during the service, I don't understand why it wasn't corrected before continuing. To make matters worse, my brows were **tinted and dyed before being waxed**, which can be extremely irritating to freshly waxed skin and isn't the order I would expect. I even questioned the process, but my concern was dismissed. Overall, this was one of the most disappointing beauty experiences I've had. I left with overprocessed lashes, uneven brows, burned skin, and results that looked nothing like what I requested. I cannot recommend this salon for lash lifts, brow services, or waxing.

Receptionist asked if she can assign me with someone else. I said anyone but Jimmy (owner). My son and I had him once before and he did not do a good job. When I walked in today, they gave me Leo. He took over Allen's station. I asked for 2" off with lots of layers to give my hair some volume since I have very thin hair. Leo showed me how much he would cut off and I gave him the go ahead. I thought Asians are supposed to be great at math but holy shhhh he started cutting and cutting and cutting and it got shorter and shorter. At this point it was hard for me to say something. Pretty sure that he cut off FIVE whole inches. Not only did he cut off 5" but the layers he gave me were very choppy, it looks like he hacked it with a saw. The receptionist came by to sweep up my hair with a dust pan and my eyes were bugging out because I was in shock at how much he cut off. I spend an obscene amount on high quality hair products at home to keep my hair healthy. Now it looks like shhhh. Never in my entire life have I ever gotten such a bad cut. I know it's just hair and it will grow back but I felt I need to write this review to warn others. When layers are trimmed, it should fall softy and naturally. He also thinned out my ends so much that it looks weird. OMG!! I can't!! The strange thing is, all the best stylist at this salon, Allen, Ben, Jackie left.
