White House salon has a sleek and classy vibe as soon as you walk in, and while I did not partake, there were complimentary refreshments available for customers while they wait. Then, my favorite thing about this salon, they offer different skill levels of stylists, and price accordingly. I had Layla as my stylist, and I couldn't be happier with the bixie cut I got from her. Overall an affordable, accommodating experience and I will be coming back here for any future haircuts!

Everywhere was booked...understandably so. I checked out The Mane Event on Yelp and thought it was worth a shot. Stacy took me right away and was SO lovely.

I called on Wednesday afternoon (Aug 6, 2025 CE) looking for a gel mani and pedi -- ideally before…read morea Friday pool party, but absolutely before a Tuesday job interview. When they booked me for the following morning, I was pleased. I got there early, ready to play the parking game on adjacent streets. There's a 1-hour limit on the main drag. Honestly, they need a name for this stretch -- "South Braddock Business District" works, or "SoBra" if we want to get cute like SoCal or SoCo. But I digress. Turns out there's a parking lot in the back! I didn't know you could enter through the rear door, so I walked around to the front. They confirmed later it's totally fine to use either entrance. My appointment was with Tamara, who was setting up when I arrived early. I made myself a coffee, and by the time it finished brewing, she had me seated. She took her time helping me choose a color. I came in thinking "terracotta," but the only similar shade on the wall was burnt orange. Pass. This isn't amateur hour, so I came with backup options. Next choice: dark cherry -- we landed on a deep plum, and I wasn't mad about it. The spa was quiet, clean, and decorated in chill tones. Pedicure station: comfortable. Spa pedicure: nice. Tamara: cool as hell. I usually zone out during a pedicure, but we ended up talking about everything. After the polish, we moved to the manicure station for an equally nice experience. I told her I almost booked Gel X extensions, and she convinced me to go for it next time. When we finished, we both took pictures of my nails, and I headed to checkout. Which brings us to the missing star -- and why I'm unlikely to go back. There's a 4% upcharge for using a card, and I loathe when businesses do that. Processing fees are part of your operating costs -- work them into your prices. You don't charge me less for skipping the other nail lacquers on your wall, and you didn't charge me more for my K-cup. Operating. Costs. Also, you can't leave a tip on card unless you tell them beforehand so they can add it to the total. So now I'm wondering if their software also needs an upgrade. After some confusion, they offered to let me Venmo the tip to the owner to pass along to Tamara. That was also presented as a payment option (which I'd declined earlier), but I ended up doing it because of course I was going to give Tamara her 25%. And then... someone pulled a hit-and-run on my car in their lot. Not their fault, sure -- but the lot's a bit of a free-for-all, not well marked, and apparently has no cameras (I asked). Nobody could or would help me identify the driver, which I understand from a privacy standpoint, or contact them for me. Back to my nails: my thumbnail chipped the day before my interview -- but not badly enough for anyone but me to notice. I'm rough on my nails, so I take full responsibility for the chip in my gel. The chip in my car paint? The driver in the Benz owns that one. TL;DR: Salon is clean, comfy, and calm. Tamara was great. My nails looked perfect for my interview (which went well!). Just park in the lot at your own risk, and hit the ATM beforehand or get yourself a Venmo account.

I waited for over 7 weeks to post this review. I came here in September, after my hairdresser moved…read moreaway. I decided to try a small town place and having the owner cut my hair, I though to myself "At least she won't move away." I came with a picture of what I wanted. My hair was about 6 inches past my shoulders and I asked for it to be right to my shoulder with bangs and a few layers. I explained that I wear my hair up in a ponytail almost daily, so it must still fit into a ponytail. After I was told that it was a super easy hair style, it was off to get started. When she was done, my bangs were an inch above my eyebrows (Not in style anywhere). My hair was cut into a blunt, very short bob, and it was parted in the center (when I always part it to the side and the picture shown had it parted on the side). It still does not fit into the tiniest of ponytails, seven weeks later. At 57, I can say I honestly have never cried after getting my hair cut before, but this time, I cried for days. My husband was furious and kept making remarks about how awful my hair looked and he wanted to go and speak to her. But that wouldn't make may hair look better, so why bother. My sister couldn't stop laughing at me, and I have been trying to avoid the mirror for almost two months now. I actually believe this woman did her best job, it is just that her best job is terrible. On top of that she said some very offensive things and derogatory towards others. She insisted she was a Christian, but continued to put other groups of people down. Not to be considered Christian behavior. Feeling like she may be losing her thought process a bit. It became clear she is hard of hearing, a bigot, lousy at cutting hair and I believe the early stages of dementia may be at play. I am not saying this to be mean, I just feel others who are new to this establishment need to know what to expect. My business is not going to make a difference in her life, but she has made a major impact on my life. I am hoping by the spring to be able to get my hair cut again once, clearly somewhere else. It will take until Spring for me to have hair long enough to cut. I have been wearing a hat for weeks now, and I do not look good in hats.
