I give this place a three start review because I've had on and off experiences with the place;
The first time I ever went was for my nails, and the woman was fantastic. She listened to everything I said and did exactly what I wanted, and was very friendly. I felt welcomed and that I could trust the salon. The makeup stylists are fantastic too, and I am always satisfied when I get my makeup done there.
However, shortly later I came back but for my hair-- I was getting my senior portraits taken that day and there was something very specific I wanted for my hair. Weeks in advance, and I had made the stylist aware of what I wanted, which was a beach-wave type of look.
I arrive to get my hair done, which I set hours in advance before my portraits, and I was seen an hour late. I don't like to be picky on workers who are late to an appointment because I understand sometimes that prior appointments can run late, affecting the next, however, she was talking with another worker the whole time. She didn't even apologize, just told me it was very important.
She pulls up the picture I originally gave showing what I wanted and had the galls to laugh at it and then tell me she can't do it. I asked her why not and her reasons were it wouldn't look good on me and she didn't think she could properly execute it. She's the professional, so if she doesn't think it will look good on me, whatever, but she was very condescending and rude.
She said she would do something that would make my hair look nice and I explained to her I was on the clock and that these portraits were incredibly important to me. She did something completely different to the natural look I was going to, putting my hair in some up-do and a few loose curls, which was pretty and all but I felt she had given me a look more suitable for the prom, not a senior portrait. I expressed that and her response was, "I'm the professional, I know what looks best."
I got it changed in the end where she just straightened my hair but she refused to talk to me the whole time, which I'm presuming was because she was pissed I said I didn't like what she had done to my hair. Last time I checked, I'm the one still in high school, not her, so she should not be acting like a child.
To top it all off (besides being late to my portraits) I was charged over 100 dollars for it-- for the bun, straightening the hair, and the curls she never did!
I complained to the manager stating I would not pay for something that wasn't even done, and for something I did not ask for. That was sorted in the end but I was very stressed and angry by the end of the ordeal, and unsatisfied with the appointment.
I think the makeup and nail artists are fantastic, but a lot of the hairstylists are entitled and rude, and that's a big issue if you ask me. read more
