Came in without an appointment. Staff was attentive and I was seen quickly. Had a great haircut …read more Just what I wanted! I will return. Atmosphere was welcoming. I had never been there before (visiting the town).

I received what I can only describe as the worst haircut of my life, and I am not exaggerating…read more I understand that bad haircuts happen, and I don't believe the stylist had bad intentions. I simply think she was in over her head with what I was asking for. Unfortunately, the result was so far from what I wanted that I ultimately had to go to another salon to have it corrected. The only way to salvage my hair was to cut it extremely short, which was absolutely not what I had wanted or anticipated. What disappointed me just as much as the haircut was how the situation was handled afterward. The owner, Kathy, did call me, and I politely explained my concerns and sent photographs showing the results. I requested a refund, or even a partial refund, because I genuinely did not feel I should have to pay for a haircut that was so poorly executed. Despite my efforts to resolve the situation reasonably, I never received a response to that request. What particularly stood out to me during my conversation with Kathy was that she actually asked whether I had ever had a haircut like the one in the inspiration photo I brought to my appointment. I answered her question at the time, but afterward I found myself wondering why that was even relevant. Whether I had worn that particular style before had nothing to do with the quality of the haircut I received. Rather than acknowledging the problem, the question struck me as defensive and an attempt to shift some of the responsibility onto me. I found that response surprisingly unprofessional, especially coming from the owner. I was offered the opportunity to return to have the haircut corrected, but given the extent of the original problem, I had no confidence in having the same stylist attempt to fix it. I don't think that's an unreasonable position. I'm not writing this out of anger or to be vindictive. I recognize that mistakes happen, even in good salons. But I also believe that how a business responds when something goes wrong says a great deal about its commitment to customer service. A sincere acknowledgment of the problem and some effort to make things right, even a partial refund, would have gone a long way. Unfortunately, that wasn't my experience at Level 10 Salon. The haircut itself was bad enough, but the defensive response and lack of meaningful follow-through from the owner made an already disappointing experience considerably worse. UPDATE: Shortly after posting this review, I received a very kind and thoughtful text from the owner, Kathy. She acknowledged my concerns and offered a refund, which I greatly appreciated. I was very pleased with her response and grateful that she took the time to make things right.

Let me start by saying, I'm combining the comments of the wedding party that had nails done here!…read more The Good: 1. We found a place that could mostly accommodate the wedding party on short notice. 2. Decent facility. Modern, attractive, clean, bright. 3. Good results. Nails looked good, no 'painful' moments! The Not as Good: 1. Appointments required. Don't even try to walk in. As described by my wife, it took some pleading with the staff to get the appointments set. 2. Serial process. It took hours to get our three folks through the shop. Seems to be a bit of a staff shortage that meant neither of the bridesmaids got started until the bride was done! 3. Manager attitude. I gather that we were made to feel that we were being granted a favor to have nails done and to pay and tip them. 4. Inadequate ventilation. Nail stuff is stinky, but most shops seem to be able to exhaust lots of the smell. Not Tropical Nails - so prepare to be over-powered! Not too many choices in the area - so if you plan on getting a group done, make sure to plan in advance, get appointments, and anticipate that it will take a while!

Terrible. I received a very basic pedicure with polish and a feckless manicure without polish at…read moremy request. The girl was sweet but didn't bother to scrape the dirt from under my fingernails. All for $90.00! $52 for the pedi. $32 for the mani, in spite of the fact that there was little skill and no polish involved in the latter.

Great little spot cozy and charming I got my hair color mani pedi. The color was awesome Loretta the owner did my services. Her story about how she got started is truly inspiring! My mani pedi was good as well. I'm definitely going to visit them again. Thank you!

Do not go to Yvonne! This lady messed up my LONG THICK hair so badly! I asked for layers and my…read morehair was already in layers, I just wanted the dead ends off. She sat me down in the chair didn't even brush my hair and just started chopping. I stopped her and asked her "are you not going to measure my layers" she took it as a joke and was laughing and said I don't know how they do it in Texas but if you know what your doing you don't need to measure it. She didn't even pry my hair in sections. She literally was just chopping away. My hair cut usually takes 45 minutes and Yvonne took 15 minutes. I have wavy/curly hair and normally they have to blow dry it straight after the cut to check if all the layers is even.... Nope not her.... She even told me does your patients question you when you treat them?? HORRIBLE HORRIBLE!!!!! As u can see the two sides just have chinned blobs! She BUTCHERED my hair. And after the service she had the nerve to tell me it's ok you still have plenty of hair left. You can come back if you don't like it..... I have never been this livid with a hair cut. She shouldn't be allowed to hold scissors near anybodys hair. I posted more than one photo that won't post on Yelp so please look at more pics on the google review

My husband and I eloped to Rockland, and I literally googled a salon... Haha…read more Christine booked the appointment via email, let me know the exact pricing for what I was wanting, and was easy to work with. She took a few days to reply, but this was 90 days in advance for a Thursday wedding. No big deal. I walked in, and was immediately greeted and offered something to drink. Waited less than a minute for my stylist, Amelia, and we went to work. Showed her my hairstyle, and she set to work. She did *precisely* what I asked for, but I've never done that hairstyle before...and I hated it. Mini mental freakout, admitted I didn't like it, and she said, "No problem! We have TONS of time. Really. This happens all the time. Don't even worry about it." She redid my hair about two more times (total time spent on my hair was 45mins), and it was finally perfect. She said, "I'm doing something back here (on the back of my head) that you didn't ask for, but I think you'll like it. It's very "bridal"." She was right. My hair was perfect. Afterwards, she moved me to do my makeup. She gave me a granola bar and more water, reminding me I wouldn't be eating for hours, and we chatted about tons of stuff while she didn't my makeup. Both hair and makeup turned out beautifully, and I thanked her a million times for keeping me calm and staying flexible. She's a very bright spot on my wedding day, and I'm so glad I got to spend some time with her. THANK YOU, AMELIA.

I came here to get my hair done prior to eloping at the Berry Manor Inn on a very rainy Tuesday a…read morefew weeks ago. I was worried that finding a salon to do my hair on a random weekday morning in the off-season in a small town would be a challenge, but Coppola was able to do my hair for the big day. I scheduled my appointment via email, paid via credit card over the phone and was all set. Christina did my hair and was great about working on it until I was completely satisfied with it, no matter how many hair pins and changes it took! She did an awesome job and made sure to totally coat it in hair spray so the rain wouldn't ruin the style. I'm so happy with how it turned out!
