I am usually not a review-writer, but I am so disappointed and I feel the need to share. I had gone…read moreto Julia in the past and stopped going a year ago. Now I remember why. I went in for a single process, some highlights and a haircut. My hair is neck-length and layered. I explained to Julia what I wanted done. She does not have a professional website so there is nowhere to check her prices. Nor does she have a pricing chart anywhere in the salon. I know what I have paid at good salons (not Lemon Tree). Julia's shop is convenient for me so I thought I'd give her another try. I felt uneasy with the conversation because of her prying personal questions......"Did you make money when you sold your house? How much does your daughter-in-law make as a school principal?" I would never ask such personal questions to anyone, let alone a hairdresser whom I hardly know. It's none of her business! It seems the conversation always turns financial...even when I used to go to her a few years ago. I don't know if it's nosiness or if she tries to see what she can charge based on my wealth (or lack of). Not sure. It's just weird. Anyway, back to my appointment. I had to choose a color for my roots from a chart. I always assume a knowledgeable hairdresser would be able to tell me which color to use, but not Julia. I chose a color and asked if it was too ashy. She did not give me an answer. So I went with my choice. I did explain to her that I like chunky highlights, but she did them very thin. I will get them done the way I like at another salon in the near future. My haircut is uneven. I told her it was longer on one side but she told me it's because I have a lot of hair and it is hard to get it even. Well, at $80 for a haircut, is cutting it evenly on both sides asking too much? Then it came time to pay. Single process, half highlights and a cut: $335!!!! AND she charged me an additional $13 for a credit card surcharge!!! What salon charges you to pay them??? I also gave her a $40 tip (which I now regret ) so I left there having spent $388! All for something that should have cost me no more than $200. Other quality salons charge $65 for single process, $60 for a haircut and $75 for half head highlights. I remembered why I stopped going there. I told her how disappointed I was with the charges and she offered no solution....no "can we work it out?" Nothing. She could have offered to credit me back that outrageous cc surcharge. But no. I told her to cancel my next appointment (I always book ahead) and she replied that she's already done that. There's just something off with this salon. There are no other people who work there. It's just Julia. She doesn't have to pay anyone, there is no shampoo girl. It's just her. There has never been another person there when I go. And the prices are exorbitant. This is not a wealthy area. We are blue collar workers here. There are other salons in the area who charge normal prices. I just chose her because she is right up the block from me. But it seems she's all about the money. The salon is not fancy. There are water stains on the ceiling. No effort or money is put into beautifying it. So.....I just thought I'd put this experience out there. I know she has rave reviews from other people. I don't know how real those reviews are. I just know what I am writing is the truth. My hair looks ok, but not "almost $400 ok" if you know what I mean. There are other salons.

In most of the salons I have gone to in the past, I would always have to come home and re-blowout my hair or go back to the salon a lot earlier than I should have because my cut has grown out badly. I haven't had to do that in over a year. Exotic Salon is the best choice if you're looking for great service, the best cuts, style, and eyebrow threading.

Never dreamed I would ever review a hair salon , but the time has come . So I've spent years trying…read moreto find the right place to get my hair cut . I'm a guy who grew up in the seventies and my hair needs are pretty simple . I've tried places on the low end which were hit and miss . I swore off barbers when some kid with a backwards Oakland A'S hat , gave me a haircut out of Full Metal Jacket. I've tried high end places where you can get a master stylist , a glass of wine or gourmet coffee and an Italian cookie , but I don't want to have to increase my credit limit just to get a haircut . So I read review after review and finally found my holy grail of Hair Salons,Renaissance hair.The salon is classy , but the reason for the review is Rachel,who just killed it with my hair cut . Told her what I was looking for and she went to work . A haircut , with scissors ,not a razor with my initials carved into the side of my head . Then she told me one side of my hair lied one way , one side another , told me about two cow licks , I mean like a haircut professor . Plus a chill personality to boot . Give it a try , you'll be sold as I was .

I then called to speak to someone about this and why it washed out so fast. The lady who answered informed me that i should have been given a care packet regarding how to care for my hair and I never did. I was also told they don't guarantee hair color and asked how long it has been. Once I informed the lady it was 3 week after she then said they only guarantee for 2 weeks. Don't understand how the story changed once I said how long it was. Then she continued to yell saying I got what I paid for and she isn't dealing with it then hung up one me. I attempted to call back and the manager refused to take my call and I was hung up on again. I will never go here again and am considering small claims court. I paid for purple highlights and I got blond plus an attitude and disregard for being a customer.

I called ahead on a Saturday morning to ask if they had availability for a wash and blowout and was…read moretold yes. The only question asked was if I'd been there before, nothing about my hair length or thickness. I arrived at 10:30am, confirmed I just wanted a wash and blowout, and mentioned it was for a special occasion and I wanted a quick blowout to save time doing it myself. The wash lasted maybe 3 minutes with no detangling, and my hair went straight from soaking wet to a round brush and blow dryer. I showed a photo and asked for a bouncy blowout, but the stylist kept insisting on using a curling iron, which I didn't want. She also kept commenting on my hair's length and thickness. By 11am she had another client waiting and my hair wasn't even halfway done, and it felt like things were rushed from that point on. I eventually just let her use the curling iron so I could leave. She was friendly, but the result was not what I asked for. I ended up going home and curling my hair myself because it definitely didn't look like I had just been to a salon. Overall, a disappointing experience.

I can't say enough about how great of a job Tanya does with our kids' haircuts.
