Review for Savvy Stylin' Studio
Salon: The size of the salon is comparable to that of a walk-in closet of a 1,500 sf. house. It's claustrophobic! The decor is dark and outdated with poor lighting. Penny knows her lighting is bad, but she shrugs it off. Loud country music is her preference even though clients, me included, have told her we don't like it. There's no water, coffee or tea so be sure to bring your own!
Service: Penny has always given me a great hair cut, but I don't think she's good with color especially blonde. Despite pointing out that my hair has gold tones as well as red tones, she repeatedly denied it and hasn't been able to fix it or lighten it. I've finally given up after my last appointment at which time she gave me a mediocre highlight and fried my new layers with the flat iron. Rather than telling me about her mistake, I discovered the damage when I got home! Although I couldn't cut it all off because it would look ridiculous, I've had to snip 3" of fried hair.
Price: Fair, even cheap in comparison, but you get what you pay for!
Stylist: If you're not part of her clique, then Penny is only as friendly as she needs to be. She's even been thoughtless and rude to me on occasion. I just get really weird vibes: like when I asked her about recommendations for a hair conditioning treatment and she didn't know of any.
Overall: After Penny fried my hair that I'd spent two years making healthy, that was it for me and I wondered why I've been putting up with the mediocre service for so long. I'd rather spend a little more money, go to a real salon and have my hair handled by a professional who knows blonde! read more
