    Bad Sew in install
    Ash B.

    I went to Melanee's because I had gone to this salon several years ago and I was always happy with the work. I just moved back to Tampa from California and needed to get a sew in installed. I quite literally look like a blockhead. I paid $200 for my hair to come out lopsided. You can clearly see see how raised it is. It makes me look like I have a big forehead. When I contacted another stylist to fix it and sent her a picture of my hair she told me that it looked like a 5th grader did it. I just got my hair done today and I immediately had to put on a hat. The braids are huge and the stylist that will be fixing me tomorrow told me that they should have been much smaller so I didn't look like I have two huge bumps on the top of my head. If you want to leave the salon crying go to Sandra.

    Brought my daughter here last summer to get her hair dyed and had no issues. We came back this summer so she decides to use her again. Big Mistake. My daughter showed her a picture of the color she wanted. She handed my daughter a book of hair color swatches and asks her to choose a color. There's nothing there exact, and my daughter said she remembered her from last summer so she told her "similar to that but lighter". My daughter wanted a "ginger" look. Long story short, she bleached her hair (without asking/telling her), left to go get "something from the beauty supply" for an hour, dyed the hair some Burgundy-red-purple color, and then wouldn't fix it. Mind you, I told her immediately because my daughter is young and timid and doesn't know how to stand up for herself yet. She then proceeded to tell me this is the color she chose...and these two women in the shop can vouch for her...blah blah. I showed her the pic again. These colors are no where near each other. She offered to try to darken it but we had plans already..mind you it had already been four hours. We set an appointment for 2 days later. She also said it would look better when it dried. The next day it didn't. We sent her a message saying it isn't better and to just refund the money. Then we tried another salon to get it fixed. They wouldn't touch it. So we text her again asking if she could fix it at the scheduled time we had. She then goes on to say she stands by her work...already offered the refund and basically ghosted my daughter. We tried to fix it ourselves and it was a disaster. Finally found a salon on IG that fixed it. Do Not Go Here For Color Services! I'll attach the pic that was shown to her...the pic of what she did, and the disaster of us trying to strip that color out.

    Great family like invirement, excellent work ,my daughter and I been coming here for several years never disappointed.

    I had a very upsetting experience at this salon as a first-time client. I booked an appointment to…read moreget my roots done and was genuinely looking forward to having a little time to myself as a busy mom of two. When I arrived, I had my two-year-old with me in a stroller. She was calm, quiet, and watching a movie completely unbothering anyone. The salon itself was nearly empty, with only one other client present. Instead of being welcomed, I was immediately met with a very cold and judgmental attitude from the front desk. I was looked up and down, along with my stroller, and told in a very rude and inflexible manner that children were not allowed and that I would either need to leave or reschedule. As a mother, it is not always easy to find time for self-care, and I made the effort to come in for this appointment. The lack of empathy or basic courtesy was honestly shocking. There was zero attempt to accommodate, problem-solve, or even speak kindly. To make matters worse, I was charged $75 (50% of the service) simply for having to leave despite the fact that the situation could have been handled with basic human decency and flexibility. I do want to note that Desi, the hairstylist, did try to be kind while witnessing the way I was being treated, and I appreciate that. I understand this situation was not her fault. However, the overall customer service and experience are a direct reflection of the business she represents. This was the first time I've ever experienced something like this at a salon. I left feeling embarrassed, dismissed, and frankly, discriminated against for being a mother. I will not be returning, and I would not recommend this salon especially to other moms. There are plenty of places that treat clients with respect, kindness, and understanding. This was not one of them.

Meiling was quick to diagnose I needed a nice ash medium brown to tone everything down and add some shine while at it. She did it so quickly and efficiently I kind of doubled on how well it would turn out but I was so stupid for questioning her godliness! Once my hair was washed and blow-dried, it was the awesome dark medium hue I've been fighting to achieve for the past 1.5 years. AND it had nice shine to it. Both my Mom and daughter complimented on how shiny and healthy my hair looked. Will be back for more future glazing by this professional.

It took months of research to find the perfect stylist and she is the definition of perfection. Her honestly and knowledge of facial framing and color tones, helps with any style to suit your individual look. She guided me to the right warm tones for my dark hair color, which was virgin hair. So to say the least I walked in a bit nervous and left with the biggest smile on my face and holding back tears of joy. I haven't felt this beautiful in a long time, and thanks to Mei-ling, she sparked that light that I much needed.

    I want to start by saying that the salon management was very kind and handled my concerns with…read moreempathy, including issuing a refund, which I truly appreciated. Unfortunately, the haircut itself was extremely upsetting for me. I have had bobs before and felt confident going into the appointment. I showed a reference photo and asked for a specific length, but my hair was cut at least 2-3 inches shorter than requested (which is INSANE for a bob) and the result looked nothing like what I asked for. It has now been about 2.5 month (months!!!!), and I still feel genuinely uncomfortable wearing my hair down. Ive been wearing it up worn a ton of hair pins. It's too short to even put into a ponytail, and it's been difficult emotionally to adjust to, especially knowing this wasn't what I consented to. Hair grows back, but that doesn't take away how distressing this experience has been. I feel so awful looking at myself in the mirror... I appreciate how professionally the situation was handled afterward, but I wanted to share my honest experience so others can be very clear and cautious when discussing length, as it can't be undone For reference adding photos of what I asked and a photo of what I got. You can see why I'm still feeling so awful about it and it's been 2.5 months.... how can somebody be so so bad at their job???!!!!
