You know the phrase, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"? Well, I did not heed this very important…read morebit of advise and boy did I learn my lesson! One day my co-worker came in with a nice cut and color, and slapped a card on my desk offering $20 off a cut/color service at the salon she went to (should have been my first warning sign). Mind you my co worker has thin blonde hair, and I have a thick, long, mop of dark brown hair. With the tease of $20 off and a salon that was geographically more pleasant to me, where I didn't have to worry about parking downtown and taking out a college student in the process, I fell for it. Mind you, prior to this I was Becky with the Good Hair. This was all thanks to Dia Johnson at Willow. So my lazy, cheap self went to this "other" salon, and I will save you the long story, but it was the worst decision I have ever made! The girl ruined my hair. My hair was long, just a bit past my boobs, and I walked out of there with a glorified mullet that was only a few inches below my shoulders. Don't even get me started on the color. I had only wanted a few highlights to blend in what had grown out in the last 7 months since I had last had my hair done by Dia (I would like to mention it STILL looked good 7 months later, Dia is obviously that talented). When I left, it was bad. Brassy, splotchy, and when they tried to "fix" it, it was over-toned and green! Not to mention they tried to convince me it looked ok! I told myself I was going to live with it, then at work one day, while staring at myself in the flattering glow of florescent lighting, I freaked out and immediately decided to, with my tail between my legs, go back to the last place I had good hair. Willow. I called, desperate for a same day appointment. The salon owner, Nicole, graciously fit me in as her last client of the day for a consultation, so we could make a plan and calm my nerves. (Y'all I'm ashamed what a mess I was! Emotionally that is.) She took a look at my hair, told me a plan, and then said if I didn't have to be anywhere, she would be happy to get started on it today because she knew how upset I was. Needless to say, I LOVE MY HAIR, Nicole has given me life! I know this review is already so long, and I feel like I have so many more wonderful things to say about Nicole (and Dia), and frankly the whole salon. I was eyeing every girl that walked out of there and they all left with fabulous hair. The girls are all so nice and easy to talk to. I've learned my lesson the hard way and I won't be going anywhere else. All the gals at willow are super talented and I am so grateful to Nicole for getting me in and taking care of me on such short notice. Also, if you made it to the end of this review, I applaud you!

They did not paint the dye on the hair, instead they used foils exactly like full foil, and the color was uneven - from brassy browns, to orange caramel blondes, to bright whites near my face. They placed the highlights completely randomly. I will not be going back due to my 250$ bill and my stylist's inability to candidly admit she did not know how to do balayage. I felt like I should not have paid for a service that was clearly done incorrectly and wasn't what we had agreed upon. The following day I had to go to a different salon and pay 350$ to fix the work this salon had done.

And, I kid you not, they texted me the morning of my appt, again, to tell me they needed to reschedule my appt. After alerting them that this was the second time in a row this had happened, they gave me a cancellation slot for 4pm, which I accepted. At 3:45pm, I get a text that they need to move my appt to 4:30 because they are running behind. I accept. When I'm finally seen at 5pm, Chris is cranky that he's covering someone else's appt and it's clear he wants to go home. When he realizes that I need a color correction, I believe he almost had a tantrum, knowing it was going to be a process. I was prepared for the correction to take more than one visit and asked him to do what he could. He eventually even refuses to do a test strip on my hair to make sure I can move forward with another stylist the following day. Washes my hair and flat out refuses to do anything. And ensures me that someone will be able to do my hair the following day. The scheduler says they are completely booked for the foreseeable future so I just leave. With wet hair, and zero words to describe this experience other than inexcusable. To be fair, the manager did call me the next day to try to clear up the situation by asking for my side of events. But they'd already lost me as a customer at that point. She told me it would take multiple appointments to get my hair where I wanted. I ended up making an appt at Lava Salon with Emma instead who got me EXACTLY where I wanted to be in one appointment lasting 3 hours. I would not recommend Urban Nirvana for anything other than a trim and if you are ok with being treated poorly.
