However, when I told Artana about the cut in 2000, she followed through. It has been the best haircut I've ever had. Sometimes I let it grow a bit longer but it still works well. The drawback in recommending Sheer Expectations is that they don't take many new clients right now. It's mostly Artana and her sisters that do it all.

I am new to Columbia and went to Ashley's Alley per the recommendation of a co-worker. I saw Keri,…read moreand I'm so glad that I did. She took my seriously outdated hairstyle (if you could even call it that) and updated it with a fabulous new look. She asked questions and listened to my answers, but also used her professional knowledge and talent to make my hair look better than I thought possible. She also told me how she was styling it so that I can recreate the look at home. For once, I feel like I have a cute hairstyle that I can maintain until my next appointment! The salon itself is beautiful. I was a little confused when I walked in and there was no receptionist. However, after watching people come in and out for a few minutes, I decided that the lack of a receptionist really worked well there. It felt more like clients were walking into someone's living room rather than a hair salon. The artwork was gorgeous, if you're into that sort of thing, and the location is perfect for anyone who lives or works in Columbia. Overall, a very pleasant experience.

My sister and I had, you guessed it, a cinnamon roll. Gooey sweet and cinnamony, the roll filled the appetite for both of us. Sitting outside was perfect and before you know it time o get ack to the Salon on Devine. I asked Brianna if she could give me an Anderson Cooper cut.

Today I visited Paul Mitchell Hair Studio looking forward to a relaxing experience with my sister…read more I requested a wash, deep conditioner, blow dry, and a twist-out. When I sat down, the stylist immediately began spraying my hair with water. I politely asked her not to spray my hair because I had specific preferences for my natural hair. I also asked if she would mind taking down my twists from the bottom up to help minimize frizz and breakage. She agreed, but after watching her remove a few twists, I realized the technique was not what I had requested. At that point, I politely asked if we could end the service because I didn't feel comfortable continuing. The stylist unhooked my drape, and as I handed it back to her, another staff member apparently observed only part of the interaction. I was then asked to go to the front desk. Without anyone asking me what had happened, another employee informed me that my service had been terminated and that I was no longer welcome to return to the salon. I was completely shocked and confused. When I asked what I had done wrong, no one could give me an answer. Instead, I was escorted to the lobby while my sister remained in the salon receiving her service, which made the experience even more embarrassing. Only after I had already been asked to leave did staff finally come over to ask for my version of events. At that point, I learned that an advisor believed I had snatched the drape off. That simply did not happen. The stylist had already removed buttons to the drape herself, and I was handing it back to her. The advisor had been observing from across the room and did not witness the interaction up close, yet a decision was made without speaking to me first. As someone who values healthy hair care, I believe clients should be able to respectfully communicate their preferences and even choose to discontinue a service if they are uncomfortable. That should not result in being embarrassed, escorted out, or banned from returning without an opportunity to explain what actually happened. Unfortunately, because of how this situation was handled, I will never return. I hope Paul Mitchell Hair Studio reviews how misunderstandings are addressed in the future and ensures that all parties are heard before making decisions that affect customers. If you are someone who likes to advocate for your hair care and communicate your preferences, I encourage you to make sure your stylist is receptive to your concerns. Every client deserves to be treated with respect and given the opportunity to be heard.
