I came here to visit my parents for Christmas and just wanted a wash and blowout and it was the day after Christmas so many places had availability, but this place had some good reviews and was only 10 minutes from my parents house. I got there a little early and Amy was able to take me early which was nice, but it was a terrible experience. My hair is pretty healthy and every time I get my hair done my stylist always says how nice it is to quickly be able to blow dry my hair with a round brush. When my stylist is done, my hair is shiny, full of body and so soft to the touch.
So, with that preface I will share my Les Scissors experience. I had Amy as my stylist and she was nice but I had a bad feeling as soon as she started blow drying my hair. It was like she had no idea how to blow dry hair. My head never hurts when I get a blowout, but from the first time she started blow drying my hair, I felt tugs of hair that hurt so bad and I would squint and make a face (I could see my face in the mirror) and I k ow she knew it hurt because she would stop and let the hair go. Then she'd do it again and again! She probably pulled out so much of my hair. She was rough and never got even close to my roots and kept putting the hairdryer at the worst angles so my hair was frizzy and she probably damaged my ends! She kept blow drying my hair in the same spots which would ruin my healthy hair. I was cringing every time she did it. Over and over blow drying my dry hair and leaving my roots damp. It was the worst blowout I have ever in my life had. This should have been such an easy appointment she didn't even have to cut my hair. Then she left my bangs and started again holding the dryer in some weird angle and I finally just asked for the blow dryer and brush and finished it off myself. I just couldn't take it and could see how dry and unhealthy she was making my hair look and feel. Since I was able to do my bangs they were the only part of my hair that looked shiny and healthy. She never put a heat protectant on my hair or anything to protect.
I hate writing bad reviews and I've been using yelp for 10 years and have only written two not so great reviews because I don't want to hurt someone's buisness, but when I do write one, you know it's because I don't want anyone else to go through what I went through. Oh I didn't even mention yet how she got my hair (a good amount) stuck in a clip. She wasn't at all careful when she was sectioning out my hair and so something happened and my hair got stuck. She kept trying for more than five minutes to get it out of the clip, but couldn't get it out and ended up calling the receptionist who after another five minutes got it out but it was tangled and it was right at the top of my head. She was tugging and every time she pulled it hurt so bad. I was so scared she was going to pull out my hair, or worse cut it and I'd have alfalfa hair!!! So terrible. I was sitting there just thinking I had to get her hands off my hair. So I finished my hair myself. I hated it so much and it looked terrible! I went home and had to wash and moisturize my hair with a hair mask, wash it again and dry it out myself- which totally was such a waste of my $47 (yes I tipped her still!) Honestly I cannot believe they charged me for such a horrible, painful experience. I literally threw my money away and wasted an hour of my time and dealt with the pain of her pulling my hair (after I told her my head is very sensitive to tugging and pulling so I asked her to please be gentle while washing my hair and blow drying it.
Please please be careful if you decide to try this place! My hair after a blowout stays beautiful for at least 3-4 days. After going to Amy, my hair felt course and I had to wash my hair as soon as I got home before our dinner. Lesson learned, when visiting other cities, do my own hair! It's sad to say that, because that's why you have salons, but if they are like this, it's not worth messing up your hair!
After going back through the reviews I saw many that talked about how Amy butchered people's hair so I am sooooo thankful I didn't do a haircut with her, but still am sooo upset with what happened. A blow out for a stylist is the easiest thing to do, how does a professional mess that up this bad???
Be careful if you go here, just my experience- so hopefully nobody else has to go through this! read more
