    Absolutely trashy service. Most unprofessional management.These folks are very dishonest. Even level 9, experienced stylist will make a careless mistake and ruin your hair. Kala H. ruined my years of hard work of blonde hair on long, thick, and curly texture. I asked for LITTLE dimension, & particularly on my ends. Her assistant Leslie G is my witness. However Kala's her mentor, so who knows if she'll be honest. I specifically asked for very little.Yet, she did so much and got rid of soo much of my blonde. I'm now brunette. Definitely did NOT ask for this. I even showed her ex pics (last 4) of what I wanted in reference to dimension ONLY not tonality, since they're much cooler in tone than my warmer hair. These pics showed dimension BUT still an overall BLONDE look. Yet she still failed. I realized this after I arrived home since I left with wet hair, didn't want it blow dried. I called immediately and told her. She told me to go back 5 days later, which was unreasonable to wait this long considering there's an issue. When I showed her, of course she refused to admit her horrible mistake and used every excuse possible to deny it. She used my constant visits against me & said I went in 5 diff times, which was completely irrelevant and hypocritical b/c she specifically told me to go in as many times as I needed for a consult since I was nervous from the previous experience prior going to her. And 2 of those visits were SERVICES, that she got PAID and tipped for!!! & the last one was b/c of her idiotic mistake where she washed out all my blonde. The previous visit had been paid for & over with & now dealing w/ another visit. So not sure y even mention it.. just wanting to exaggerate. Also consults come with a service!!! I had only two consults to obviously get help on figuring out how to adjust my hair. This is her job, but she wants to complain about it. I asked for the manager & she called the next day, Heather O. And honestly after that call, it was really clear that she only called for technical purposes and to say that she fulfilled her "duty" as a manager. I told her what happened. All she said was repeated what Kala said & there's nothing she can do.This is w/out her even asking to see my HAIR nor pictures, nothing!!! Absolutely unbelievable.She wouldn't have seen any pics if I hadn't said anything. I sent her before/after pics, she got back to me 5 days later, which again, pretty late. So even if I wanted to take up the offer they provide per their policy, an adjustment upon dissatisfaction, I couldn't b/c the 7 day window was closed.They purposely respond late so they don't have to do any adjustments, very disturbing. Why offer a policy that you can't commit to.. Either way, I wouldn't have agreed to any adjustments due to the condition of my hair.What Kala did was irreversible. Heather wouldn't have gotten back to me if I hadn't kept calling the 5th day, which she ordered her front desk staff, Ryan S, Shelbie W, and Emma W, to ignore my calls completely. When Shelbie answered by mistake & found out it was me, she put me on hold then switched to voicemail.This wasn't a coincidence nor were they busy; when my friend called, they answered immediately, very disrespectful and childish. She responded back with pathetic excuses defending her worker and insisted that my ends were light.. Where...?? I absolutely did not ask for her to get rid of my blonde like this; didn't ask for this dark look. I asked her to comment specifically on the pics & I pointed out the obvious difference; she never responded. The website says to email for issues, but they ignore you. It says to contact the owner, Sara Davis on Linkedin as well, but she also didn't respond. You message these professionals & expect a response, but get nothing then they wonder why they have negative reviews. useless and careless when it comes to having to deal with a complaint. They do not handle their mistakes appropriately and with honesty. No wonder they have 4.5 stars only. Would not recommend. I'm glad the bank compensated me for that failed service.

    I got a cut and glaze done with Grace. The picture I showed the stylist for reference was a much lighter shade than the Glaze color I ended up with. Thankfully, I still like this color on me, but I wouldve prefered to have had the color I asked for. What really disappointed me was when she thinned out my face framing layers with sheers without asking because she thought it was necessary, after she had just asked to thin out the back and I told her NO. I do not like having my hair thinned out because my natural texture hair gets extremely frizzy without the weight, which has happened when other stylists have sheared this area. I feel like my requests were not respected and the stylist simply did what she thought was best.

    After transitioning between different hair stylists for years, I found my perfect match with Erika at Salon Blu in NH! She is an expert at styling blondes and always delivers more than I could ever expect. The salon staff is doing an excellent job handling temperature checks and keeping the waiting areas clear during COVID, and safety precautions exceed expectations all over the salon. Keep it up!

I was in panic mode when a friend recommended Alter Ego. I decided to give it a shot and took the quick quiz on their website to see which stylist would be the best fit for my hair texture and needs. The results led me to Abby B, and thank goodness they did. I called in and booked an appointment for the very next day. From the moment I walked in, the staff was welcoming and professional. I explained my hair situation to Abby, and she immediately made me feel heard and reassured. She took the time to understand exactly what had gone wrong, and more importantly, what I wanted going forward. To say Abby worked miracles would be an understatement. She carefully assessed the damage and worked her magic to reshape and revive my hair. I walked out with a cut that not only fixed the disaster but actually looked better than what I had originally hoped for. Abby truly listened, gave thoughtful suggestions, and showed serious skill and care. I'm beyond happy with how everything turned out and can confidently say I've found my new go-to salon. If you're looking for a stylist who's talented, kind, and truly invested in making you feel good about your hair, Alter Ego, and especially Abby B, is the place to go.

The final result looked nothing like what we discussed. The cut was uneven, the styling was sloppy, and I left genuinely upset. When I brought up my concerns, the stylist became defensive instead of trying to fix the problem. For how much I paid, this level of service is unacceptable. To make things worse, I overheard multiple stylists talking badly about another coworker and using foul language. It created an uncomfortable, unprofessional, and negative atmosphere. This is not the kind of environment anyone wants to sit in for hours. Overall, this was a complete waste of time and money. I would not recommend this salon to anyone.

I appreciate them for being so accommodating and ease of everything. Michaela is a great stylist and I would recommend booking with her anytime!

I called three times without an answer and ultimately left a voicemail requesting cancellation. Despite this, I received an email today stating that my card on file would be charged for missing the appointment. I promptly called your salon to clarify the situation and explained that I had canceled by voicemail on September 25. The person who answered the phone was dismissive, and when I spoke with the owner, I was made to feel as though the responsibility fell on me for not replying to the email or a text message. To clarify: I do not receive text messages from your salon. I did not reply to the email because I had already called and left a voicemail. It is your responsibility to check and respond to client voicemails. Additionally, I called today at 11:29 a.m. and was told I would receive a call back within 30 minutes. That call never came. This lack of professionalism is unacceptable. I respectfully request a full refund of the cancellation charge. I hope you will honor this request and reconsider how communication and customer service are handled in the future.
