Love Love Love This…read moresalon has exceeded my expectations. I had questions before booking my appointment and the staff was super friendly and answered all of my questions. I did a little bit of digging to find out which salon I wanted to go to and was so happy my new go to salon. The salon itself was really a welcoming vibe of love when you walk in. I had Bethany as my stylus and she did an amazing job and super friendly. All the stuff that I interacted with were all very friendly and welcoming. Definitely will be coming back.

I debated writing this review for a while, but I think it is worth doing. I have NEVER written a…read morebad review in my life, but this salon has the most confusing, least transparent, and most hypocritical pricing system. Let me start by saying the stylists themselves are lovely. This isn't about them. They were kind, professional, and genuinely talented. My issue is 100% with the management and policies that clearly care more about money and marketing buzzwords than about actual customer experience. I booked my appointment with my mom. She picked a "higher-ranking" stylist, so we expected her haircut to cost a bit more--around $30 extra. That made sense. The salon already lists all prices in ranges, which is fine (it's standard since hair length can vary), but their "starting" prices are already high. Whatever, I'm happy to pay people fairly for their time and skill. Then I get there and find out about their "SalonScale" policy, which means you're charged extra for the hair color product itself, weighed by the gram. My stylist told me it would be about $50 more. Annoying, but I was flying out of the country in a few days, so I just went along with it. By the time I was done, my haircut and color were over $400. For a single appointment. Meanwhile, my mom (whose stylist was higher ranked) wasn't even told about this SalonScale charge, and her total ended up less than mine. Our hair is the same length. So explain to me how that makes sense. If the haircut and color are already that expensive... what the hell am I paying for if not the product? , After getting home, I checked on their website to see their SalonScale policies. This is what pissed me off the most, and where it becomes hypocritical. They actually try to justify this extra charge as being for environmental sustainability. Here's what their website says: "We believe in transparency and efficiency, which is why we use SalonScale for our color services. We weigh out our color by the gram with every client to ensure perfect results every time. By weighing out color, we also eliminate waste, keeping in line with our mission to be more sustainable and leave less of an impact on the environment. With SalonScale, we separate the cost of color from the service price using a parts and labor model. This way, you know exactly what you are paying for." Sorry, but you do not believe in transparency. Nothing about this was transparent. I'm not standing back there watching you weigh color by the gram--you could tell me anything, and I'd have no clue. And "charging more money to save the planet"? Give me a break. You don't need to bill your customers an extra $50+ to be sustainable. Just use what you need and don't waste product. Stop using climate change as a marketing prop to justify upselling people. The haircut itself wasn't even what I asked for, but I take some blame for not speaking up right away. I left my hair curly, so I didn't realize how different it was from what I asked for until later. I came back the next day for a touch-up--they said they had a "no charge" policy for that, which I thought was great considering the expensive nature of my haircut. But after the touch-up, my stylist offered to "style" my hair. She phrased it like a nice gesture, a little favor. Then boom--it showed up on the bill as a $50 charge. That's not a favor. That's shady. You need to be upfront with customers about how much things cost BEFORE doing them. I checked online, asked in person, and asked again when I arrived for my touch-up appointment to clarify that there would be no extra charges. , Oh, and the final insult: they charge tax on the tip, which you have to pay. Normally, I wouldn't care, but by that point, it just felt like one last way to squeeze a few more dollars out of me. The sad part is that this could easily be a great salon. The stylists are good at what they do. But the way this business runs? It's manipulative, confusing, and anything but transparent. If you go, just know you might walk out paying $150+ more than what you planned (and with the feeling you've been taken advantage of under the guise of "sustainability").
