I came to this salon while I was in town visiting a friend; we had a last-minute idea to get our…read morehair cut together and were able to get in same day. My goal was to go back to a pixie cut after years of having long, boring hair and Nicolas did a fantastic job! I loved that he seemed genuinely as excited as I was to go for the chop, and he executed it perfectly based on the photos I showed him. Before and after pics provided. I'm already planning to visit again the next time I'm back in the area - and not just because it's half the price of my regular Bay Area hair cuts.

I went in as a same-day appointment, as I had had my hair platinum about a week week and a half…read moreprior, and needed it to be corrected. I was very clear on the phone setting the appointment that it was a color correction. I came in and saw Kari Wells. I showed her a picture of what I wanted (The picture I showed her is attached) I said; just darker shade on my roots: but still blonde; as I've always been a blonde, and was very clear that I have strawberry blonde. when I had the foils on, I had to say "shouldn't you wash them out" I think they sat for a good 40 minutes when she told me they only should've been 20. She had no timer set? so I don't know how she anticipated timing correctly. But I was keeping a eye on my cell phones clock.. She washes my hair, I look in the mirror and the whole all of my hair is completely dark gray. When I told her...I was not happy that my hair was gray...She proceeded to try about three more things to make it not gray; Repeating to me out loud, the color wheel, I left the salon as I arrived in a baseball cap. So about $200-$250 later, I went home crying in a baseball cap. It was very clear I had a very big event the next evening, that is formal dress up, and I was heartbroken that my hair was worse than when I went in. I called my daughter in tears, she sent me to Walgreens to get this oops! which I put on my hair and took all the color out that kari had put in...and that looked so much better than it did when I left the salon; So I basically paid 200 $250, to sit for five hours, make my hair worse....for her at the end to tell me where it in a braid, it looks better that way pulled back. Nobody wants gray hair. Then she told me the reason my hair turned gray was because I have well Water? I've lived in the same house forever. Never had a problem with my hair, turning gray when it was colored. I'm calling BS on that explanation. Not a happy client I will not recommend, I will not be back, it was one of the most horrible experiences I've had with my hair. I would not have been that bad. If she taken ownership and said the color correct and I'm doing is not working, but she waited till the very end to ask somebody for help. And said to me about 1 million times what she was doing "as if I knew? That's why I went to an expert; A upper class salon as well, It's not like I went to great clips. she kept saying to me does that make sense, does that make sense, she must've said that 200 times. None of it made sense because when I left my hair was worse than when I got there. Do not go, do not waste your money or time....100% Dissatisfied....

She said I'm basically all grey - hence needing constant color - which is inaccurate. Said my hair looked yellow (from previous blonde highlights) when I walked in. Made references to me coloring it myself when actually it was professionally done in England of all places. And I was quite happy w my English stylist. The price was considerably high, and although we discussed a minimal cut w no layers, pretty sure she layered my hair which is now kind of a mess in this cold, dry winter. Originally, I had thought, whatever. Sometimes stylists are a bit direct - either they talk a lot or not at all. But then, reminding myself of how much I spent over the course of months - two appointments at Wicked - I thought, no, they could do better.

From getting hit by the car and bumping her melon and flying 20 ft walking and landed on her teeth and blew out her pelvic..also has some memory problems now, so she just got out of her wheelchair into a walker and wanted to open a hairdo.He was to say her hair was almost down toward her butt. She paid for balayage numerous times at least three hundred dollars, other places and loved her hair. When she arrived her appointment that day. She didn't realize whose shop.it was long story short. The owner knew my girlfriend years prior and she hated her, because my girl is best friends with her husband maybe i've had her tattooed on his leg.I think that was never even with him. Moral of the story is they put a color correct around her hair at around 11? As I reassured my girl that the owner would never do anything like that. She wouldn't be that stupid, and it's been all these years. So while my girlfriend bought her employee, she gave employee up a month and now has her own shop. The rains to put the color corrector on my hair from noon til about 8pm and fried her hair it was fried so bad when rinsed they had to cut it all like a boy super short. While the worker laughed that well at least my Women can pull that off,and she laughed . Then they charged her $700 and my my girl has a hard time getting her done , and tries n tries to do it her self and not to mention it won't grow she uses expensive stuff from ulta and it's been about 3 or so years she still has a pixie if that. After everything is said and done, people called up there numerous times tell her I wanted her money back and that wish it wasn't right n she laughed and said that she wasn't the one that did her hair. It was her new employee.Just got her shop, so to go to her shop and take it up with her. Need less to say horrible horrible shop and experience, and tramatic. I've watched my girls confidence dwindle into something she and know one knows sometimes, so word of advice I'd stay clear from there Thank you for listening

Unfortunately, I received a botched haircut from Gabby on Thursday as you can see from the attached photo the cut is not even at all and the cut is nothing like I asked for. I called and left a voicemail and explain the situation begging for help, hoping that somebody could help even up my haircut, and its been days without a retuned call. I would avoid coming here at all costs. Update: After multiple calls and no response I was finally contacted by the owner Jen who admitted after seeing the photo "i cant even believe they let you walk out the door like that" but then also told me the only way she would fix it is if i take down my review. Obviously i didn't take down my review, and will just eat the cost and go somewhere else to get my botched hair cut corrected and just wait a year or two for my length to grow back out.
