LATE REVIEW: I grappled with giving this a 3 stars because I wasn't satisfied with my hair BUT…read morethat's a me thing (keep reading for the details), I'm giving it a 4 because the customer service was outstanding. Finding a new hairstylist is just as difficult as finding a new doctor. Whenever I move to a new area I try to ask for referrals from people who have similar hair to mine. I was referred to Alfa Jae Salon by someone who also has curly hair, however, after my visit I learned the person who referred me only gets their hair colored and gets it cut somewhere else. Here's what I liked about the salon: Everyone there was wonderful, they had a very cool eclectic vibe and lots of women were getting unique hair coloring done. I've always worn my hair straight but I'm ready to embrace my natural curl so I made the appointment requesting a cut and styling tips on how to manage my curls. The stylist was very sweet, she gave me a quick tutorial on how to add product and trying techniques, however the cut was average. The owner overheard our conversation because I was asking a lot of questions about layering and needing more shape and she immediately stepped in with some advice for the stylist. I didn't love my hair when I left but I also did hate it. I later learned the stylist I selected was still in training so that made a lot of sense on some of the apprehension she demonstrated and she said if it didn't work out I could come back. Now that I've learned more about styling curly hair I think if I would have scrunched out the crunch and did a little shaking it would have met my expectations. I'll be honest, I am very picky about my hair and own being a difficult client. This salon is great but I needed a more seasoned stylist, had I known she was a junior stylist I would have likely not made the appointment.

To all of you out there with curly hair who are so sick of stylists not having a clue what to do for you, stop searching and call this place. I got highlights and a cut this past weekend and love how everything turned out. The color is amazing and is exactly what I wanted. Jay knew right from the beginning the type of look I was trying to describe and got it just right. It was like a "Say No More, I've Got This" vibe from him that put me at ease, like he'd been doing my hair for years! And as for the cut, he has a certain way of cutting these unique layers for curly hair that make it look wonderful! It has been incredibly easy to style. Beyond the hair, all the small things that also make a huge difference were just as appealing! Heath handles everything at the front, and he was amazingly helpful in setting up the appointment, making sure things were fine the day of, and scheduling my next appointment. When you arrive, they'll offer coffee, wine, whatever, and of course, great music is playing the whole time.The salon itself is also super cute and they have fabulous artwork throughout, making it totally adorable. Just a note that due to no fault of their own on the particular day I was there, the hot water supply for the building was well, not hot at all! Jay, Heath, and Irene (the other stylist there) all took the time to actually heat cold water up just for my rinse and shampoo so I wouldn't have to deal with cold water. Talk about going above and beyond! They didn't have to, but they did. They're all fabulous, and I can't say enough wonderful things. I wish them so much success there! I've already told friends and co-workers this is the next salon for them, no question, and I can't wait for my next appointment!

I am honestly still in shock over what happened at GG's Hair Styling in Apex, and after having time…read moreto process the experience, I feel like I need to warn others. I booked appointments for my daughter and myself five days in advance. I spoke with Nick and was very clear that I have long, very thick, naturally red hair. I scheduled a haircut, complete color, blowout and style, and my daughter was scheduled for a cut and highlights. We were getting ready to leave for vacation, and I took the day off work specifically so we could get our hair done beforehand. I explained this and was assured they would "make it work." When we arrived, Hannah started my hair. I specifically asked to have about 5-6 inches taken off. Instead, more than 10 inches was cut off. Even then, I was unbelievably calm about it. I didn't get angry or make a scene. I basically said, "It's okay, it's just hair." Looking back, I think I was so caught off guard that I hadn't even processed what had happened yet. But what happened next is what I truly cannot believe. AFTER more than 10 inches of my hair had already been cut off, I was told they didn't have enough time or enough color/product to complete my color -- AND they didn't even have enough time to finish the haircut they had already started. At that point, my hair had basically been chopped off and was extremely choppy, uneven and obviously unfinished. This wasn't about not having time for a blowout or style. My actual haircut was not finished. Their solution was for me to leave the salon looking like that and come back later that evening so they could finish cutting and styling my hair. Then I was offered the option of coloring half of my hair that day and coming back the following week to color the other half. I am honestly still trying to understand how any of that was considered an acceptable solution. If they didn't have enough time or product to complete my appointment, I should have been told that before anyone touched my hair, not after more than 10 inches had already been cut off. Nick knew when the appointment was booked that my hair was long and extremely thick. Had I simply been told they couldn't accommodate the services I requested, I would have understood and gone somewhere else. Instead, I trusted them. I went in excited to have my hair done before vacation and left without the complete haircut, color, blowout and style I had scheduled, with an unfinished, choppy haircut, and with more than 10 inches of my hair gone when I had only asked for 5-6 inches. The more I look at my hair and process how this was handled, the more shocked and upset I become. I genuinely cannot understand how anyone at a professional salon could think it was acceptable to cut that much of a client's hair off and THEN tell her they didn't even have time to finish the haircut. I was patient, calm and understanding throughout the situation. Unfortunately, I feel like my willingness to be understanding was taken advantage of rather than appreciated. I absolutely intend to share my experience so other people understand exactly what happened here and can make an informed decision before trusting this salon with their hair. Once more than 10 inches of your hair has been cut off, there is no putting it back. I am still in disbelief that this happened. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend GG's Hair Styling in Apex, and I would strongly caution anyone considering going there -- I will be filing a complaint with the state board. What happened to me today was unacceptable.
