I don't come to Sally Beauty Supply unless I am in desperate need of something that I can't find at the Target, located across the street from Sally Beauty Supply. In the past 9 months, I've been here twice. Once to get specific shampoo because of my perm and today, to purchase hair nets. This specific review and 3 star rating is based on today's experience. My first experience was worse.
The interior layout is very cramped. Where there is open space to place merchandise, you count on that something was there. However, even with a lot of product being merchandised, the product is very well maintained and merchandised well. Price labels are placed properly with every product sold and that is fantastic! It creates an easy buying process for customers. Merchandise is divided into functions (make up, hair dye, nail polish, wax... so on and so on). It is easy to navigate within the store.
When I found what i was looking for, the hair nets, I was so confused by it. I was overwhelmed by how many different style hair nets exists and the didn't know what the differences were. I asked an associate and she was very understanding and attentive. She was so kind and spoke in a very friendly manner, as if she cared and it was nice to make that emotional connection with someone. She answered my questions and I was very appreciated by her help. Another associate was helping customers at the cash register so I took my time selecting, and browsing the store, and then I went to go and pay.
As I was waiting to pay, the two associates were conversing between themselves the entire time. It was at least a 5 minute conversations if not more. What bothered me about what was being discussed between them was the subject matter they were discussing. They were speaking about internal issues Sally Beauty Supply employees have within one another. Yes! The spoke about that openly and not whispering, but in a high volume that the conversation could be heard from the back of the store to where the conversation was taking place, at the register! This my only complain about this place... I truly believe it could have been a conversation that needed to happen behind closed doors or not in front of customers. It was very uncomfortable.
However, when I did pay, the lady who helped me was very nice as well. She had this great charm about herself and was full of energy.
So that's all about today's experience, but here are some other discoveries I've found....
! Buy hair clips or bobby pins here instead of other retail stores. They are cheaper and larger in quantity and I am sure better quality since it's at a beauty store.
! Large selection of combs and brushes for a great price. read more
