I'm a beauty blogger and I've had extensions quite a few time before - and decided to try out…read moreClaire's service because she had excellent reviews, reliable (returned my messages promptly) and sounded warm and friendly. I was not disappointed. After a complimentary consultation, she picked out my hair and got a deposit from me and we booked a date (today). She was fast and skilled and the extensions looked fabulous! I got compliments from a lot of passersby on my way home - I'm so happy to find her! Update - I can tell the hair is of good quality - after several washings and torture sessions with the blow dryer, curling iron and flat iron - the hair still looks and feels soft, glossy and bouncy. Pricing - Good hair extensions are not cheap. Some salons charge in the 4-figure range as they take hours to put in. ( quality hair + hourly charge = $$$) So having said that, Claire's prices are reasonable when compared across the board.

I'm absolutely in love with my new hair!!! I just got them done yesterday. And couldn't wait to go…read moreout to show them off. It is simply amazing just how important having a good head of hair is. How much confidence boost you get. I received numerous compliments and sure did turn some heads. I have been searching for the right extension specialist for a while now. I was diagnosed with Graves a few years back and ended up losing a lot of my hair. And it just never grew back the same way. My own hair is very thin and it grows out really thin. So I researched all different options and tape-in extensions were the way to go, only finding the right specialist wasn't easy. I did try them once, the girl who installed them, did an awful job, they looked super fake and fell out within a few short weeks. So I kind of lost all hope. Recently I decided to give it another try, since tape-in hair has changed quite a bit. The minute I found Claire and read all her wonderful 5 star reviews from her elated customers, I made an appointment. When I sat in that chair, I knew right away that Claire was immensely talented & a true pro, who cares about her clients and overall very passionate about what she does. Her and I clicked instantly. I set the appointment at my consult, and was counting days until my visit. The results are outstanding!!! And I'm very fortunate to have found Claire who is my secret weapon now. But I will be sharing her with my girlfriends. Thank you Claire!!! You rock!!

Alas, I was left on a journey to find a new stylist which resulted in burned hair, cut tracks, and plenty of crying after leaving the salon. In 2014 while walking on campus I saw a woman passing out information while sporting a gorgeous full head weave. I just HAD to ask her who did her hair; and she led me to her girl Kaye. My life has been changed!! I have never left Kaye's seat upset and I look fly as hell. When I had moved out of Los Angeles I still vowed to fly in and get my hair done because I trust NO ONE else. The minute I step out that salon I get whistles, cat calls, and double takes. If you're reading this, go get your sexy on!

I came here because Britney was recommended by a friend on Facebook. Originally I liked her…read morepersonality but her work was terrible. I asked her for a royal blue peekaboo colored dye job. But instead she gave me an pale ice blue and purple look. The photos I am uploading are what I asked for versus what I got. She then told me it was my fault that the color didn't come out right. She finally offered to add more color, but said she could not finish my hair. She told me I would have to wait an hour for her to rinse out my hair until she was done with her next client. Starving and cold, I had to leave for work. I walked out with dye in my hair and plastic over my head. She still charged me $275. Don't go here. She can't do what she claims she can.

UPDATE: The stylist has mentioned that she may be taking legal action against me. She thinks the…read morephotos of the haircut she gave me are so abhorrent that I must have cut it MYSELF after leaving the salon to sabotage her business. Imagine giving someone a haircut so bad that you actually think they hacked it up themselves out of spite. As if the six months growing it out isn't going to be torture enough? I got the worst haircut of my life here. I had shoulder-length, straight hair and asked for LIGHT layers, and to keep the length. I wanted something low-maintenance that didn't require extra styling or curling. I brought several pictures. The first iteration Brittney gave me was a big round bulbous bowl that was curled in at the bottom like a middle-aged mom and was chin-length. I asked her to make it less mom-like. She then proceeded to cut mullety layers into the top of my head and most of those chunks are 3-4 inches long while the rest of my hair is chin-length, so it will take at least a year to grow those layers out to the point where I can even put them up in a ponytail. It's uneven all around my head and is honestly embarrassing to go out in pubic. I can't leave the house without a dozen bobby pins. I wore a hat to work for a week and when I finally went without one, one of my co-workers said, "oh... that's why you've been wearing a hat." I texted Brittney to tell her that the haircut was really not what I wanted, and instead of offering helpful advice or even a partial refund she had the gall to tell me that I had some personal psychological issues with my own hair, and not that it was because she gave me a bad haircut. Take a look at my mullet and tell me if I'm delusional. Good thing I just took passport photos and I've got this style on international lockdown for the next decade. When someone offers online booking and is available for appointments the entire next day, that should be your first hint to look elsewhere. RE The owner's response: "...every day, clients walk into salons with "inspo" photos culled from stylized images on social media and ask for a cut that will look exactly the same when they roll out of bed in the morning. Unfortunately, a minuscule percentage of them possess hair that is actually capable of this. I explained this to you, suggesting comparable alternatives and demonstrating quick, simple techniques that would allow you to achieve your desired look with minimal effort." You explained this to me long after you destroyed my hair, not before or during. If you weren't capable of executing a really simple haircut on someone's, say, ethnic hair, you should have said so before breaking out the scissors. "I feel compelled to mention the hostile manner in which you carried yourself throughout our appointment." This is an embarrassing lie on your part. I was never once hostile during the haircut and at most I pointed out that the style you first gave me was "momlike" and that I didn't want it to be so round and puffy. You got annoyed and told me to show you the desired photos I wanted and explain EXACTLY what the difference was between the picture and the cut you gave me. There were no similarities between the two, whatsoever. As further proof that I wasn't hostile, I gave you a 20% tip just out of courtesy (and habit more than anything), not because I liked the cut. If I was as aggressive and cruel as you seem to remember, I would have left in an actual huff without tipping you a whopping 20% for destroying my hair. "Again, I'm very sorry that in the nearly two hours I spent with you I was unable to deliver what you wanted." This is another lie. You were still finishing up another client when I arrived for our 1:30 pm appointment. My payment timestamp indicates that I paid you at 3:00 pm, so the haircut at MOST took less than an hour and a half. "I wish you success on your continued search for a stylist who can provide you with a zero-maintenance cut that looks like a magazine photo when you roll out of bed. " The sarcasm is a nice touch here. If you make mistakes, you should own up to them, not get your friends from across the country to post obviously fake reviews to bury this one.

I then consulted other salons after receiving cut and color from here and was told that it was completely botched. (See the pictures below!!! | I also attached the reference photo that I showed her) When I asked to get a refund for my 180$ service, I was told that I had to either have her fix the mess or receive a 35$ refund. I did not feel comfortable having her redo my hair since she had messed it up so badly the first time, so I politely asked for a refund and was rudely told that she believes her work is great and that 35$ was all I would get back. Also,I was told I would be in the salon 2-3 hours, but instead was there for 5. I had an appointment, which I mentioned beforehand that I needed to go to, but she couldn't finish in time so I ended up leaving the salon with wet hair and couldn't see the horrible results until afterwards. While I was at the salon, her 1 year old was there, which was totally fine at first, until she began yelling for about 2 hours straight. I'm all about supporting mothers, but I'm paying for a service and having a screaming child while you're sitting back and getting your hair done was SO unprofessional.
