I guess I should…read morehave known when I called because they had every single day available for an appt. & every time slot available. Most salons are actually busy & have to check there schedules to get you in.The girl that was doing my hair(Kristen) was rude and unfriendly. The whole time she was doing my hair she didn't engage in any conversation with me what so ever. I brought in a picture of what I wanted & when she was finished my hair looked like the roots were touched up but that was it. Keep in mind that I asked for THICK blond highlights. Instead I got thin strands of blonde which didn't make my hair look bad but I didn't see much of a difference. She kept saying that's what I asked for, excuse me, I'm telling you that's not what I wanted at least have enough decency to fix your mistake.Then, I came home & my family didn't even notice that I got my hair done. If that's the reaction that I wanted then I would have dyed my hair from a box. I then came back to dispute the price b/c I was displeased & she said the only way she would fix my hair is if I paid double the price. & the reason my hair didn't look like the one in the picture was b/c my roots were grown out.. That's information she should have told me ahead of time. She should have said: hey, your roots are dark so it won't look like the picture & if you want the thick highlights it will cost more money. NOPE, instead she was extremely rude & then refused to fix my hair b/c I came back later that night b/c I was dissatisfied & didn't tell her immediately. Last time I checked I'm the customer & she should have ATLEAST been friendly & offered to re-do my hair. Unfortunately, I had to pay her the full price & I now have to go to a different salon & pay even more money because she couldn't do her job. I highly recommend that you DO NOT go to this place for ANYTHING. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE.

My full set was horrible my tech cut me 3 times trying to drill around cuticles and the drilling was very ruff. My nails don't look the best either and the bleeding has not stopped. The next issue is I ordered a drink a pink drink in which the waitress stated it has vodka in it which the drink was $6. My drink was good and I cashed out immediately didn't start a tab. So I ordered another one from a new waitress the one I had prior wasn't there anymore. She brought the drink and I said I like to pay now. Took her a while to come back I flagged her when she walked past. She comes back with iPad to pay and didn't tell me the total she just said tap here. So I asked what's my total she says $28.74 I said for "1 drink" she said you had to I said that's already paid for receipt is right here. She proceeded back to the bar to fix the total she comes back new total is $17.54 which isn't even half of the original total she said which was $28.74. At this point I'm annoyed and just pay it so I can get out of this establishment. I definitely let the front desk know about they did try to accommodate by offering me another drink or redo the transaction. I declined the offer. Not a good experience for me I liked the salon better before this new revamp didn't have these issues then. Oh and two days later one of my nails pops off.

It also consists of hair reset, pampering, and personalized hair regimen and products. Lillian gave me beautiful curls. I only needed to return for a tweaking the next week because the owner was not able to be present for my first appointment to give additional pointers from her acquired knowledge gained from over 20 plus years of experience. Lillian did a wonderful job on my hair and quickly learned how to improve on the cut for my needs. She looked at each section of my hair and customized the trim. I received several compliments last week and today. The owner skillfully guided Lillian to make my curly style even better. I learned so much about hair products and my own hair needs down to how to use the products to detail my new do. I look forward to receiving more compliments on my hair after having struggled for years to find someone who really knows how to care for and style my hair. I am so glad that I finally decided to get this expert curly hair cut, regimen, and products that are best for my hair. I look forward to my next pampering appointment. Thank you, Jessica and Lillian!!

5 Stars -- They Saved My Hair!…read more I've been going to Curl Sanctuary for about 3-4 years now, and I can honestly say they completely transformed my hair--and my confidence. Jessica (the owner) and Lilly are absolute miracle workers. Before finding them, I was ready to chop all my hair off because I was so frustrated with the constant frizz. I had no idea how to care for my curls and was truly at the end of my rope. Now? I have long, healthy, frizz-free curls that I love. I even drive two hours just to get my hair done here because no one else compares. I used to think I could never go blonde again because it always damaged my hair, but they proved me wrong. Not only did they bring blonde back into my life, but my hair is healthier than ever. What makes Curl Sanctuary stand out is that they don't just do your hair--they educate you. Jessica and Lilly taught me how to properly care for my curly hair at home, and I didn't even realize how important that was until I started seeing real results. They've also taken the time to scout out and carry only the best curly hair products on the market--products that actually work and keep your curls thriving. Plus, they're just amazing people. Every visit feels like catching up with old friends. They go above and beyond with their hospitality and truly care about their clients. I always leave feeling pampered, beautiful, and more confident in my curls. If you have curly hair, this is the place. Curl Sanctuary is hands down the best decision I've ever made for my hair. Thank you, Jessica and Lilly, for saving my curls and making me feel beautiful again!
