They are refusing to refund my money and expect me to come back in to have the haircut "fixed," despite this being the second time I've experienced a botched haircut here with two different stylists. I completely understand that mistakes can happen, but after having the same issue happen twice, why would I want to come back? I paid for a service and did not receive what I paid for. The lack of response to my email and their customer service throughout this situation have been extremely disappointing. I do not recommend.

I have been going to Tranquility for about a year now for cuts and color, and I have never had a…read moremore positive experience at a salon. Prior to going into this salon, I had lost faith in stylists after a number of bad haircuts and color jobs from multiple salons (both upscale and the less pricey mall salons). I actually started coloring my hair myself with those DIY box color kits, so I had quite a mess to try to correct when I made my initial apt. The stylist was clean, professional, polite, and up front about everything including the charges to make sure I'd be OK with the plan and the price. Several months later, my hair looks the best it ever has, and I get complements several times a week. Bottom line, I've got difficult hair and somehow, my stylist manages to make it look great for weeks. This is a feat that hasn't been successfully done in many years, so my hat is off to my stylist. She clearly knows what she's doing. I've never waited more than 15 minutes to start my appointment, and they're very generous in putting out beverages and snacks (including delicious cupcakes from the bakery down stairs) for anyone waiting. I will agree that on one occasion, my stylist was busy with another client and my blow out was finished by the assistant, but I believe this happened because they were trying to accommodate another client who came in with some major hair issues that needed immediate attention. It worked out fine, and my hair still looked great. They also don't pressure me to buy expensive products, and I really appreciate that. I'm not one who enjoys paying major $$ for extra expensive frills and fancy at a salon, but tranquility manages to keep an upscale appearance and environment without going over the line into pretentiousness. All-comers are welcome. I've had no experience with their mani/pedi or massage services, so I can't comment on those. As a small aside, this salon also seems to do a lot to give back in the community, and I really appreciate that about them as well. I agree with the review stating that it's inconvenient not to put tips on the credit card when paying, but I just charge the price then write a check for the tip. It's an extra step, but it's minor.

Lizzie said she was going to leave the root color on for 30 minutes. I told her that my gray is getting more resistant and it's usually left on for the maximum amount of time. She checked at 30 minutes and said it was fine. I was concerned, but I trusted her. Also my balayage and highlights on the rest of my hair was darkened!! my hair is below my collarbone. I called and they brought me back in 4 days to redo my roots and use a clarifying shampoo to bring my highlights back. She could see that roots around my ears were very gray. Because they blow dried my naturally wavy hair it was hard to tell, but my highlights looked brighter. It's been 5 weeks and slowly my highlights are darkened again! This has never happened in all the decade I've had my gray roots colored!! Lizzie cut my hair well but didn't cut enough. I told her that if my hair gets heavy, my headaches might come back. She said she liked my length of hair. My hair is starting to feel heavy. She pretty much told me what she liked and what she was going to do and did not ask both times. The first time it was Saturday before Mother's Day so they were swamped and she was rushing like crazy! I hardly got to give input. Now I will have to go someplace else and spend money to get my balayage back!!

Today when they showed up for her appointment she proceeded to yell and scream at my elderly mother and aide. Demanding to know why they were there and they didn't show up for an appointment in December that was never made. She will never get another dime from my mother and I will make sure everyone knows how horrible she is. The audacity of her to yell and an elderly person that looks forward to her once every other month outing. Have some common decency Cathy. You are what's wrong with todays world. Doesn't cost you a dime to be nice to someone. Have the day you deserve. Gave one star only because it was required. Would give a negative 50 if it was allowed.

Fashion Forward is definitely going to be my salon. I had Kim which I am glad the receptionist booked her for me. Kim was extremely nice and friendly not to mention I loved my trim. It is extremely clean inside and the atmosphere is definitely what I was looking for. I am from Louisiana, so I was glad to find a nice poshy salon with that small town country feel. Comfortable middle. Not too upscale to include prices and friendly service. This was my first time with B&B products and my friend swears by them, but I am pretty picky on products. No issues though with B&B and my hair didn't feel like I had a lot of product in it which is my biggest complaint. If you are on the market for a new salon and want a nice, comfortable, clean and semi posh salon without the high cost, try Fashion Forward.

I called,…read moredesperately seeking a same day appointment (reasons abound) and Yuri said she would fit me in later. I'd have to wait a bit, but the fact a stylist, who posts pictures of pixie cuts and does artistic magic with hair and color, would fit me in meant I'd wait for hours, if needed. You walk in and it's filled with flowers and the most amazing interior design features. She designed it herself. Gorgeous. Already I can see the flair and creativity. Yuri was finishing up with a lady with longer hair and I could see the cut and motion of the hair looked fabulous. She was kind, direct, and attentive too. I've got super short hair and it has been a nightmare finding someone to cut it. Why? It's very very fine and I've never had dense hair. It's also stick straight. You screw up and it's obvious. Yuri wasn't phased by this, looked at pics and went right to cutting with expert scissor use, clippers, and thinning shears. She sprayed my dry hair- what really should always be done with super short hair- and her hands started flying. She moved the hair on my head to see how it reacted and cut expertly. She listened to requests and did it perfectly while also adding her own flair and style. Before cutting bangs and using razors, she sent me for a wash. Her assistant gives the most amazing wash, condition, and massage I've had anywhere. She's magic. And kind. Back to the chair to finish it all off. Unbelievable and fantastic. I'll go there forever and it's worth the drive! Thank you Yuri for this amazing experience and your kindness! Note: walk-ins are not normal, appointments preferred
