I had an appointment with Haley on 12/26 for balayage. I'd sent her several photos of what I wanted but instead got gray baby lights. She didn't have time to blow dry my hair and instead had the front desk girl dry it, because her next client was there. Haley spent the majority of the appointment gossiping about her co-workers to include a girl who'd just gotten engaged and was faking being out due to a possible Covid exposure. All that aside, I messaged her the next day telling her I wasn't happy, but she couldn't tell me what could be done to fix it. I am not a professional hair stylist, I only could show her photos of what I wanted but I couldn't tell her the technique she needed to use to fix it. With that, I didn't have the confidence in her to fix my hair. She brought me in a couple days later and I only had her fix the front because I couldn't wear my hair up. This would buy me some time to find another hairstyle who could fix my hair. I got two other hairstylist to give me their opinions on my hair and they quickly told me what was needed to fix it. I understand Haley is new and I made the mistake in trusting her and paying her for bad work. She kept telling me the previous salon she worked at wanted her to keep training her for a year, and I understand now why that was the case. Haley had the audacity to tell me that in two weeks is stripped my hair if it's toner, which is bizarre because I used the exact shampoos she told me to. I asked for a refund, not even in full but to atleast cover what I had to pay someone else to ultimately tell me my hair was over processed. Haley is a sweet girl and has the potential to really be a good hair stylist but right now she needs supervision under an experienced hair stylist so that she can provide a quality service. I've sent follow up messages to her directly but she was unprofessional and has not responded.
** in response to the owners response, me mentioning the gossip is to reflect your employees character, I didn't need to hear all the salon drama, I was there to get my hair done. I'm not going to go back and forth, but the second time the owner did not approach me. That's a bold lie. $165 isn't worth this back and forth because I should have done better research, and read more reviews. Thank for responding to me publicly instead of in the private message. read more
