In one hyphenated word: RIP-OFF…read more Scheduling: annoying, deficient and hypocritical. (Yes, hypocritical.) Booked appointment days in advance and was required to give credit card (so JGS can charge for 24 hours or less cancellation). Not even the elite salons do that. The irony? 3 hours before my appointment, JGS called to cancel ("reschedule" me with someone else -- but let's face it -- that's a cancellation). My appointment had been scheduled for 2 PM, but was re-scheduled to 3:30 PM (at great inconvenience to me). Even more frustrating was that the stylist I was re-booked with was still working on another client and so my appointment didn't start until 3:40 PM. Normally I wouldn't mind -- I get it, appointments run over -- but under the circumstances? Not acceptable. Desk Receptionist (Vanessa): Condescending and indolent. Marketing: $50 hair cut "for new clients" is a deceptive ploy to get you in the door. There is tiny font that says "starting at," however, JGS surprise prices you. Also, added to every bill is a "5% Service Fee" (what the...???) and a $1.00 "Eco Fee" (again, what the...??). Surreptitious, deceptive, scam marketing and hidden, invented fees. Are you kidding me??? Hair cut: eh. The technique is textbook, not talent. Basic hair-cut requested, and the result is adequate, but not great. The stylist's predecessor client's hair was also just "eh." When you leave a hair salon, that's when your hair usually looks it's best and one feels great. Not the case at JGS. (The stylist herself, however, was very sweet and easy to talk to, but, c'mon, you ain't paying to make friends.) I discussed coloring, highlighting specifically, and was a bit horrified when the stylist endeavored to explain how the highlighting process worked and spoke of bleaching. Bleaching? Are you serious? I've had highlighting done for the last 15 years -- bleaching was not used because it destroys one's hair. The stylist was unfamiliar with non-bleach highlighting. Environment: phoney upscale m, corporate cookie-cutter, with overly loud music. Not peace-inducing at all. Product: they sell and use one (Aveena). If you have never tried Aveena let me spare you: overpriced disappointment in a bottle. JGS is not what it gives off airs of being. If you seek an upscale, classy, quality salon with real-world experience and knowledge beyond hair-care 101, this ain't it.

I had a very disappointing experience at Avenue Hair Design with stylist Madysn…read more Before my appointment, I was asked to send inspiration photos and was led to believe the look I wanted could be achieved. Had I been told otherwise, I would not have taken time off work, driven a significant distance, or rearranged my schedule. I felt misled. I was very clear that I wanted a blended blonde balayage with blonde throughout, including brighter face-framing pieces in the front, while keeping my natural darker root. I also requested baby lights throughout to match the inspiration photos. The results looked nothing like what I asked for. There is still a visible line/band and the color is not properly blended. The blonde I've had for years is gone, leaving my hair orange/caramel fading into light brown instead of blonde. I've been blonde for about 20 years and know this look is achievable, as my regular stylist has done it successfully for years. I also grew my hair out for over a year to keep it healthy and restore my natural dark roots, and that progress cannot be undone. I took before and after photos and have documentation. When I contacted the salon afterward, the front desk manager was dismissive, told me I was "wrong," and showed no concern for how unhappy I was. I was offered toning, but I do not feel comfortable allowing further chemical services due to the risk of damage, and I should not be expected to return after receiving results that were not what I requested. I will not be returning, and I'm sharing this so others can make an informed decision THEY WILL NOT GIVE A REFUND!!!!

After coming across BD Michael's Organic Hair Salon I new I had to schedule an appointment with Erin, the salon owner. If you have not been to a organic designated salon and have processes performed on your hair I highly recommend trying it out. Erin really took the time to listen to what I wanted and executed my vision beautifully. When I had a different idea on an aspect of my hair she worked to accommodate my wishes and make it reality. Not to mention, Erin is the sweetest and a very kindhearted individual. I am very happy with my hair and look forward to future services and haircuts. I love my hair now after disliking it for years, lol. I must mention how clean and sanitary the salon was in these COVID-19 times and I witnessed Erin using sanitizer multiple times during my visits. Thank you, Erin!
