I booked my first visit to this salon after reading very positive reviews online. I went in for a…read morehaircut and balayage. I showed a picture and brought in physical hair extensions in the red shade I wanted. I was never told my desired color was not possible. The resulting job left my hair looking similarly close as when I walked in (another shade of brown). I immediately stated to the dresser that the result was far from what I had requested. The owner (Karla) made a comment about how at least they're not having me walk out with horrible hair. That was completely off-putting since I never expect to leave the salon looking horrible nor do I ever spend my money with that outcome as a goal. Karla offered to have me come back in so they could tone it. I would rather take my money to a place that can get close to what I want the first time around, and if not, not being defensive about their own wrong doing. Total service cost before tip was $255, which is a ludicrous amount to charge if you didn't deliver. No discounts were offered which is very upsetting and tells me this business is lacking integrity. There needs to be transparency - If a hair stylist doesn't possess the knowledge or skills to achieve clients desired color, that needs to be stated from the start. I would rather know that up front so that other possible arrangements can be made and if that is not possible then I can go elsewhere. Going to this salon was such a waste of time, money and energy. I have included 4 pictures with my review (reference of desired color, the extensions I brought in to salon, my hair before service, my hair a week after service). I believe this will show more truth to anything beyond my words.

This place is awesome. I didn't get my hair cut for 10 years (yes, a whole decade) and I was…read morenervous coming back into a salon. I decided to come here and I'm so glad I did. My hair looks and feels healthier than ever and I'm happy with how it looks for the first time since I don't know when. Megan was wonderful and also the nicest person on the planet. The other stylists were also kind and friendly -- the atmosphere is welcoming and just lovely. I also walked out with a haircut without breaking the bank. As someone who hates the salon generally, I would totally come back here. If you want to get your hair done in Madison, give Paisley a call -- they are great. They also do long hair, short hair, all gender; the versatility and talent is apparent. Go here!

Her space is cool and comfortable, the ambiance of the location is bustling without being annoying, and Aimee is a pro at what she does and hilarious to boot. Great, engaging conversation was had. I had a vision of what I wanted for my hair, brought a few pictures, and she literally took what I had in my head and totally made it happen. If you're looking for a pro at "atypical" colors, Aimee is the master you seek. Trust me. I hate liars and I don't hate myself, so I would never lie. Take a chance on this one. She's a gem. You'll be glad you did.

I share this- if you're trying to gradually move back to a brunette- this probably isn't the right salon. Below are photos after the initial service, after the correction (photos after initial service were shared with salon), and the inspiration photo. I reached out to Rooted Culture regarding my correction for advice and was told "we're not a good fit". The person delivering this message was very nice- but not what I expected. While I agree, it's left me to navigate the aftermath alone. I had a consultation with Charlie regarding what I wanted to accomplish, reviewed pinterest photos, etc. I brought a singular inspiration photo to the service appointment. I was candid about the over highlighting of my hair historically and my desire to get back to a brunette with highlights vs dark blonde with highlights (which is where I started). When my hair was dried- 1/2 of my head had more highlights than the other half. There were chunky very bright blonde pieces at the front and the distance from scalp to initial highlight was very long. I mentioned the dark roots and uneven highlights, but I slept on it. I called back to correct on Wednesday. They fit me in the following Monday- awesome. I should have slowed this appointment down- so we were on the same page. Because I was slotted between clients, it was rushed. Charlie started adding low lights- I mentioned focusing on the bangs because that was my greatest concern- the heavy contrast. Charlie then started to ask me what we should do- I told her I didn't know. a gloss was suggested. Ok sure. Charlie showed me some hair swatches- "which one?" She recommended not going below a 7, but again I told her I don't know. I'd like my hair to be more blended vs high contrast. So she mixed a 9 and 8 (was that the right choice-idk- my head was in a wash bowl). So the gloss stayed on for 4songs- 12-15mins, but was applied to my whole head vs just the bang area. I mentioned that to Charlie that I thought we were only applying to bang area., she mentioned wanting the color to be consistent. End result is the dark hair color in the photos. Again not the end of the world or blue, but nothing like the inspiration photo or my expressed desire to keep some dimension.

My stylist was able to assist with what I was looking for. I felt the process was a bit high for the level and was different than what I thought I'd selected but I appreciates that they confirmed what the process would be before moving forward. I guess maybe what I wanted was a little different than the options available on the site. I'm always a little unsure what to select when I book hair appointments online.

This is what happened. Was supposed to be basically an update of my shoulder length, curly/wavy hair with long layers. Stylist completely botched cut, didn't even bother to style it, told me to go home, wash it and see if it was ok. She cut it too short in places, angled the layers wrong, disrupting curl patterns, leaving shelves and uneven, asymmetric gaps. Left me thoroughly traumatized. When I contacted the salon, the owner Jessica Smith made no attempt to fix it, instead told me to never come back: "it is in everyone's best interest to conclude our professional relationship at this time" (she didn't like the negative review I posted).
