I've been a few times at the Karma Hair Salon in Mahogany. Until recently, I only had good services and friendly staff.
On Dec 29th 2023, I went for a set of highlights. I fully understand that going from a dark brown to lighter is quite a hard process. Therefore, I tempered my expectations as it may take a few times to get to the right color. I have shown her a picture of the desired look. She seemed to have understood what I've wanted and proceeded with the bleaching process. I have attached the inspirational picture along with the results (hours after the service done).
I was left with what looks in between the bleaching process (completely brass with an ash toner leaving the ends green). I've asked for darker roots and slight blond streaks to make it sun-kissed. I was left with chunky brassy red streaks. The amount paid, which is quite pricey, was quite disappointing.
Having lost faith in the establishment, I seek another Hair Salon to have it resolved. To may I add, fixed it on the first try. Therefore, I have asked Karma Hair Salon Mahogany to be compensated. I wasn't expecting a full reimbursement but a gesture to show appreciation for the fact that I was unhappy with the service and needed to seek services from another salon.
I believe that this situation could have been handled differently than the standard policy as I did attempt to contact the salon within 24 hours. I had paid a lot of money for this service which is astounding. The lack of willingness to keep a client happy was astonishing. I did try to reach out within the first 24h of service by phone and email. In fact, I've sent multiple emails. I missed 1 response to which I responded shortly after.
I understand they do have a policy in place of the client returning within 2 weeks to have it fixed at no cost. That said, trust was broken.
The pictures submitted not being accounted for is very frustrating. They must look at those photos and know that the work done was terrible. I completely understand that results will not always be exact to an inspiration photo. However, this wasn't even close.
The position they are taking on this is extremely short sighted. Instead of acknowledging the poor service I received their salon and offering some form of compensation (whether that be a complimentary treatment, cut or percentage off my next visit), They have chosen to rigidly stand behind Their policy instead of doing the right thing, and this is costing them a customer. I was looking forward to building a relationship with a Salon so close to my home, and would have happily recommend them to my friends and family, but instead I am forced to take my business elsewhere, and I will be sharing my experience with my network to ensure my friends and family don't end up with the same disappointing quality and dismissive approach to customer service that I have received read more
