UPDATE: Just look as his ridiculous responses to my review: Yelp does not allow me to use the…read morewords I would use to describe this kind of behavior: As you can see from the screenshot, in our private conversations, he said it was a balayage for $260. And I tipped $20 for $280. Yet when I complained that it felt like a ripoff bacuse the work was so poor, he invented this new story that: (1) I received a "retouch on my roots" that I should have paid extra for (2) in a perfect world I should pay EXTRA (WHAT?) for bringing my own dye in (because Arctic Fox is so controversial??!?) (3) that "the area is expensive" (4) that apparently i need an ongoing longterm relationship to have a dye job that doesn't leave me feeling ripped off (5) that "we always have free dialog" so that "you can alawys get alterations to your service complimentary of course" -- this is the biggest sticking point. Oh really? You have a dialog for complimentary alterations? When I messaged my complaint directly on Yelp, there was no response. The same inbox that booked my appointments suddenly went silent. Why was I not offered free alterations if I don't like my service? BECUASE THAT'S A STORY YOU TELL ONLY ON YELP. THAT OPTION WAS NEVER GIVEN TO ME. This is a man who tells one story to the public, and another in private. Personally, I call that LYING and DISHONEST. ---- He then said "i DID WHAT WAS NEEDED" to explain a bad job that was unsatisfying. So was MICROWAVING FISH AND EATING IT IN FRONT OF ME needed? Because most of the work wasn't even done by you, it was done by a subordinate. Anyone with 1/2 a brain should be able to see the level of ego just dripping off his response. Now go look at the other people with unsatisfied balayages. They were smart enough to take pictures and you can see how terrible some of them are. I'm tempted to go dig up my pictures. ORIGINAL REVIEW: tbh i won't be returning after that $280 dye job + cut where you used the scissor to make like 2 cuts, and where i had visible roots walking out of the place, where it was obvious y'all just wanted me to go because you closed up afterward and were rushing me out. Yeah... as friendly as y'all were ... Visible roots?!?!? No discount for bringing my own dye? Literally every time a friend has come to my house i've had less roots than the one time i paid So what was the point of paying? There was none. I had a wedding emergency and a friend who stole hair products from me. I had no choice but to find SOMEBODY that day. Everyone loves my hair, but i feel ripped the f off. P.S. If you update your response to my review again, i WILL go dig up the pictures and attach them.

It seems that day has come. Brooke is an arTEEST and took such great care of me. She cared about the health and integrity of my hair. She let me ask questions, and explained everything to me.

So I first off want to clarify that I was fortunate enough to win their Instagram balayage…read moregiveaway. But I swear that despite that, my review is 100% completely honest!! So when I went in, I already had blonde hair but I hadn't gotten it done since Thanksgiving so my naturally dark hair was peeking through in my roots. My blonde was also very warm and a little bit lackluster (just because it had been months since I last got it done!). So I knew going in that I really wanted to brighten my hair and give it a little refresh. I wanted a little more blonde and was hoping to add some more dimension. One of the owners, Melanie, did my hair. Starting off, I felt totally at home and comfortable. She grabbed me a Diet Coke and spoke with me about my hair and asked what I was looking for. I wanted to be realistic and I wanted to ensure that my hair would last until graduation (I graduate college in seven weeks). She was quick and efficient! We chatted about all sorts of things and honestly the three hours went by so fast!! The head massage/wash was so wonderful and relaxing. I've been wanting to go here for years (been following the account since freshman year) and I'm so glad I finally got the chance! My hair is stunning and Melanie is truly a star. I am so confident and just really appreciated the whole process. Grateful for this and super happy with my final look!

I did not need to sacrifice length to achieve this, just standard touch-ups imo. I got everything that I wanted: fuller hair, invisible layers, face framing curtain bangs. I can wear my hair up, low-pony, high-pony - my hair moves with ease and I've never felt cuter! Everything was executed with precision and to perfection.

Tl;dr - stylist ignored what I wanted and gave me a boring cut that I hated, chopping off tons of…read moremy length in the process. Had to get it corrected elsewhere. Full version: I had long straight hair past my butt with no volume (figured since I can't get volume I could at least have impressive length) I wanted to get a long shag haircut to see how shorter layers in my hair would react without completely losing my length. Based on positive reviews here I booked Urban Halo. A shag is a complicated cut so I paid more to have an owner do it. Was assigned Andre. I called and asked what kind of prior consultation I would get and was assured he would consult with me to make sure I got what I wanted (I had a lot of questions about what kind of shag to do, whether I should consider a modern perm in lieu of a shag to add wave, etc.) Half an hour before my appointment I see a voice mail asking me to come 15 minutes early. Which irked me a little at the time because they provided so little notice but I didn't clock this as a red flag until after because my appointment was so rushed and this might have been an indicator. I get there. They wash my hair right away and that's fine. I sit in the chair. Andre asks me what I want and I say I want a long shag to create more volume. I ask about doing a perm because I have heard that perms today can provide more natural looking wave then the old 80s perm. He tells me that's called a body wave and "you could do that." And then...nothing. OooooK. I show him my example pictures of these really piecey shags with lots of layers all the way around the head. He goes OK so lots of layering around the face and more volume and he says we need to cut some of my length to get volume and how much am I willing to cut off? I tell him I would like to keep as much length as possible while still getting the cut but if he needs to take some off to get the look then fine. He ends up taking off like 10 inches of hair, bluntly across the bottom. My hair is still long because it was so insanely long before but this was a noticeable amount to take off. He then proceeds to do that thing where they angle the scissors diagonally and cut downwards away from your face to create these super subtle long layers which is a haircut I have gotten 1000 times at Great Clips and is not what I asked for. That is literally it for layering. He does stuff to even out the rest of the cut so it is literally a blunt cut for the entire back of my head and the whole thing was maybe 5 or 10 minutes. He spent more time blow drying than cutting. At the end the whole thing is just a slightly shorter version of what I already had with a few short layers in the front. I felt like I had cocker spaniel ears. I was obviously not thrilled and started messing with it in the mirror. He says how beautiful it looks now and I say well it definitely looks healthier, which was the only nice thing I could say, and then he tells me to think about coming back for the body wave and walks away. This was not an objectively bad haircut, thus the second star, but this was the most simple, boring, basic haircut and if I had wanted what was essentially just a trim to take length off I would have done it myself. Looking thru pics now I realize that all the haircuts here look the same and that is what my hair looked like, too. I felt gaslit. I immediately booked a free zoom consult with another stylist known for giving consultations and second opinions and she agreed this was absolutely not a shag. She told me a lot of stylists in DC don't even know what a shag is or if they do they won't do them because it is a specialized haircut. I am shocked because I am not a hair stylist but I 100% know what a shag haircut is. In retrospect I am guessing Andre didn't know how to do a shag and instead of really talking about that with me he just instead moved forward with the same basic cut he gives everyone. I hated hated hated it. So anyway I booked the other stylist elsewhere and paid twice as much for her to give me a true shag. It was a razor cut. I love it. It was more expensive than Urban Halo but I got exactly what I wanted. I actually have volume! So it WAS achievable - Urban Halo just couldn't bother to try. No body wave necessary (and honestly I would be afraid to go back and get that service from someone who doesn't listen to me). I now feel totally confident going shorter with this same cut next time (though it pissed me off that Andre took so much length off that we could have used as raw material for my correction cut). I wish I had taken a before photo to be able to post a comparison but didn't think to at the time. In conclusion, my cut from Urban Halo is adequate at best - not embarrassingly bad but a basic, cookie cutter cut with no advanced techniques that did not justify the price point. He didn't listen, just did what he wanted and I found this frankly both lazy and arrogant.
