Arlene took the time to make sure she really understood what I was liked and needed and then offered up her ideas - and I loved her vision for my hair. Exactly what I was hoping for. She is the sweetest and kindest soul you ever will meet; we have great conversation every time I see her. She takes the time to do everything beautifully; I never feel rushed and she has a gift of making me feel like I am the most important person in the world when I am there. She truly knows how to shape and structure hair beautifully. She is also the first person to give me side swept bangs that actually work for me. I can't say enough good things about Arlene. She's been a blessing for me. Her passion for hair and style is vibrant and she's truly committed to doing beautiful work that her clients will love when they walk out the door. Her years of expertise in hair truly shows in her work. Thank you Arlene!

I contacted Brittany Glam AKA The Blonde Society on 8/29/2019 regarding hair coloring services. I…read moreheard back on 9/2/2019. After going back and forth for a few days I was able to get booked on 9/8/2019 with a service date of 10/12/2019 at 2:00PM. At the time of booking, I was forced to sign an agreement stating I agreed to pay a $200 deposit which would apply towards my balance on service date. If I were to cancel, the deposit would be non-refundable. This is something I have done before and didn't find it alarming. I booked this appointment for that date in advance because I had a special event and photoshoot the day after, and I also had to take the day off work. I confirmed my appointment the week prior to service via email. Brittany contacted me on the day of service 10/12/2019 at 12:08PM (less than 2 hours before my appointment time) to cancel due to her being sick. I was very friendly and as understanding as possible and responded we can probably reschedule for sometime in November once she let me know her availability. I didn't hear back again until 10/17/2019, and she was trying to schedule me for the following weekend. I once again explained I needed something for November so I can get the day off work. I didn't hear back, so I inquired again on the morning of 10/20/2019. On the evening of 10/20/2019, I asked for a refund of my deposit as I prefer to go in another direction. I had become very uncomfortable with the lack of communication and she ultimately breeched the agreement by cancelling on me. I didn't hear back and followed up again on 10/21/2019. Meanwhile, I am seeing her post actively on social media. I still have not received a response. All, please be eery when booking here. This is the worst communication I have ever received from a hair stylist or any business. I definitely expected better service especially with her being at the price point she is. I was trying to mediate this privately but was forced to reach out publicly. As a fellow business owner I feel very strongly about this abuse despite me being as accommodating as a client can be. I will be sharing my experience with the school of cosmetology, state and federal commissions, and ultimately Small Claims to dispute my deposit and damages :(

Let me start by saying I RARELY write bad reviews, but I feel as though this is necessary, as I…read morefeel I was cheated, and want to give other clients something to be cautious of. I've been a platinum blonde for years. Normally, I get my hair done in LA, but since I've recently moved to the OC, I thought I would try my luck with someone new. I found Brittany and instantly fell in love with her IG account! Basically EVERYTHING I wanted!! I contact Britt, and as another reviewer stated, she was very difficult to communicate with because of timing (She's an extremely busy gal...So you're going to expect delayed booking with her); however, I got an appointment, which I was sooo EXCITED for! On the day of the service, Brittany was almost an hour late (Not that big of a deal, I had time :) but wanted to mention just in case others do not.) It was a slow start of service, there was a lot of set up and prep work needing to happen, which took quite some time before she began the service itself. During service, I was completely excited still! I went in to receive a FULL highlight with babylights and larger slices (this service costs $380). Additionally, I had asked if she could add a slight pink tone to my hair, which she was more than happy to accommodate with a pink hued shampoo she uses. When Service was complete, it wasn't quite what I expected. There was no pink hue at all, and I noticed a lot of yellow highlights. I assumed maybe the lighting was bad, so I didn't mention the highlights then (Still not the part I'm super upset about). A week later, I went to get a blowout at a different salon (I normally do this for my first wash after services...just because in my head it keeps toner on longer) While at the salon, I was chit chatting with the girl who normally provides my blowout. I was casually blabbing and letting my stylist know that I just got my hair done a week ago, and I had went in for a full highlight. The stylist got really quiet and stated that I should contact Brittany, because I definitely did NOT receive a FULL highlight, but a partial. She then showed me in the mirror the back of my head, and how DARK the bottom of my hair was from the long root growth (I rarely look back there...Didn't think of it). I contact Brittany asking her if she only performed a partial highlight, and that my roots were extremely long and dark in the back. It took her about a week to respond, and she stated that, "It takes a couple of times to get the lightness I desire." ...I'm already super blonde...and I get full highlights and partial highlights literally in rotation every 2 months. So I'm definitely no stranger to what the difference between a partial and a full highlight is. I put my hair up, took a pic and showed Brittany the obviously not highlighted back of my neck, and she didn't respond. I followed up several times...No response. It's been 2 months now...No response. So...The TLDR version is: 1) Brittany may be extremely overwhelmed with her business right now, and may take a very long time to schedule you in...If at all. 2) WATCH OUT for getting conned into paying prices not fitting to your services. KNOW the differences between a Full, Partial, Bayalage...Just any service you're going in for, KNOW.WHAT.TO.EXPECT. 3) Note that Phenix Hair Studios (Where Brittany is located out of) is for stylists who independently own their businesses...This means that there's no manager you can speak to...No salon owner other than Brittany...And if she doesn't respond, she doesn't respond, and you're stuck trying to figure out what to do. 4) In total, I paid almost $500. I wouldn't be so disgusted if she would have just admitted she did a partial, offered me to come in and do the rest of the highlights...or even let me come in next time and did the full and charged me for a partial...But she did absolutely nothing but ignore me and keep my money.

This lady is amazing in her work too I watched her work as Ricky did my hair and these two are absolutely amazing individuals and we had such a great conversation and I have never laughed so hard with people I have just met and I know this is now my new salon. So please don't go anywhere you have a customer for life!!! We understand the meaning of working in the customer service industry to a tee and I watched Tammy deal with a customer with such professionalism that came back in rudely I might add and her hair was highlighted beautifully but she wasn't satisfied and Tammy took the time to redo her low lights and high lights and style her hair. She truly is a true professional all the while this lady was gripping. Being in any type of customer service industry dealing with people on a daily basis is hard and I can only imagine dealing with hair has to be even harder when you cut it just a little to short or dye it just not the right color because they don't converse with you what they want because they think you can read their minds. But again, she stood tall did her job with all the professionalism she had did an amazing job and the lady left satisfied. She even apologized to me for the scene and she truly did not have to because I've scene this daily in my line of work Monday through Friday and she is a true star!!! And well what can I say about Ricky. We laughed he did a great job on my style by just looking at a picture of the cut I wanted and I'm truly sold on this salon!!!! Thank you two you made my day!!!

As a matter of fact, all of the stylists are very knowledgable and have been in the "hair business" for 10+ years each (This includes the owner and her husband!!!) I have done about a few thousand different things to my hair and I have always ran back to Sonia to fix my silly mistakes. I now haven't touched my own hair in over two years (23 years in the process.....) and it's the color I want, the length I want, and it's just as healthy as it was before I started messing with it. Thanks to SONIA!!! The salon is small, but they pack an army of great people into their four-chair space.

I decided to give Maria (the owner) a try after my mom had gone to her for highlights and a cut. My…read moremom's hair looked pretty good and since the salon is near my house I thought hey, why not. Well, I'll tell you why not. Maria gave me the exact same haircut I already had, despite telling her that my layers weren't blended enough. She also had another client come in before I was done, so she had me sit under the hair dryer with my long wet hair while she put color in someone else's hair (I can't stand when stylists do this). After drying and curling a couple pieces of my hair I told her that I would just do it myself at home (wasn't feeling the curls she gave me). Rather than straighten the two pieces she did do she had me pay at the counter, and I left the salon with flat straight hair and two curled pieces. Go see Robin at The Vault in HB...costs more but worth it!
