I have gone back and forth in my head contemplating if I was going to leave a review on my visit…read more As of this moment, I have decided I will. I purchased a Groupon for this location for full color. Called the salon, told the lady I had a groupon and wanted to make an appointment. Looking back, maybe I should have told them the color I wanted was blond. Might not have had the experience I did. After securing a babysitter, I arrived for my appointment a few minutes early. The stylist greeted me right on time and invited me to her chair. I told her again that I had a groupon and I wanted to go blond. This is where it all started to go bad. Immediately, her face changed and she said that she didn't like to "color to the scalp" and she "didn't feel comfortable because she didn't know my hair". At that point, I should have thanked her and left. But instead, I showed her some pics of what I wanted and that I had it before. She kept commenting on how high maintenance the style was. That I would be constantly having to upkeep it. Which annoyed me. I didn't ask for that. I have been blond before, I know the routine. I told her that. She then stated that she had seen he pictures and she could add some highlights and it would look just like the pictures. Per her, it would be an additional $20 because the Groupon for highlighting was $20 more than the color. I learned later that was false, it was $10 more. But in any case, I was hesitant, but eventually agreed. Throughout the process, I got to know her way more than I wanted to. As a first time guest, I really feel her personal oversharing was just too much. Her illness, dating, husbands, etc etc. Just too much. Finally, it was done. I have curly hair and usually just let it air dry, so I told her that I would air dry it and see how I liked it. We then discussed that if I wasn't happy, I could pay $20 and come back and she would add more highlights. I was also told I could come back for the trim that was included with the original groupon. I got home, decided I did not like it as the contrast was awful. White blond hair blended with my dark brown hair. It was just too stark. I texted her and told her that I wasn't happy. I then brought up maybe she could add some toner, to soften the blond. She stated that it would be the following week before she could add toner. We also discussed adding more highlights. It was agreed I would see her the following week for an additional cost of $30 she would add more highlights and toner. After once again securing a babysitter, I arrived at my appointment and she then told me she couldn't do what we discussed. That dye just cost too much and her time would not allow her to what we discussed. At this point I am stuck. I am not happy with my hair. And I can only imagine how much it would cost to go somewhere else to fix it. She then says for $20 she can add toner all over. After some back and forth, I eventually agree. The process is then completed. At the end of the day, I am still not super happy with the outcome. It's not what I wanted. But after spending what I did, I can live with it. I am disappointed that there are no stipulations on the groupon. I am disappointed that we had an agreement and she changed her mind. I am disappointed because I was hoping I had found a new stylist, but looks like I haven't.

If you're sick of non South Asian beauticians messing up your hair and makeup, book her! Call the salon and book an appointment in advance for bigger jobs. You can find the number on Google. Be patient and be prepared to wait. Since she is the best, there's always a thousand women waiting to see her. Other people work there and are good too, but most come to see her. Her salon is accommodating if you cover your hair for religious reasons. She mentioned she doesn't work on Sundays but the others do. They are great as well. She charges reasonably and there's plenty of parking and it stays open till 7pm. It's near Silver Coin and Taste of Thailand in Hoover.

This school actually used to be a movie theater decades ago they've done a really good job turning into a beauty school. I want to say it's been around maybe at least 15 years if not more. When I walked in, I was greeted with a smiling receptionist asking my name and then getting me to fill some stuff out while I waited. I visited the bathroom and got me some water. They also offer tea I believe. If you're going to get a facial, they usually give you a robe and slippers, but since it was just brow lamination, we didn't get any of that. They did bring us to a waiting area that was dark and had peaceful and relaxing music on. While I was sitting there, a young blonde came in and said my name and I said that was me and she led me down the hallway into a room with a massage table I laid on. She did do a patch test first to make sure I wouldn't be allergic to the ingredients to get my lamination done. After the past test was over, she began her magic. She told me she will be graduating in June. I am going to try to make an appointment to get a facial before she graduates. She was very personable and professional The one thing I find weird is you cannot add a tip when you're checking out you have to either give them cash or cash app or Venmo I was able to give her cash. The receptionist called her back upfront. And they do have a teacher come check out before and after your service. I will definitely be back here sooner than later I love that there is plenty of parking here.

I explained to the student that I had 3 bowls of color prior. The head instructor just "invented" something & only 2 color. The student took over 20 minutes just to part off my hair. it took the student well over 2 hours to put the foils in. way too long! The foils needed to be sliced. each time I come in I ask for 2 students because I have so much hair. rarely do I get 2 students. sat there for another 2 hours waiting for the foils to lift. all 3 instructors checked on me but did not offer much help. it was obvious that not enough developer was used in mixing the color in the first place. finally took out the foils & the student did not throughly wash my hair. my hair is thick & one has to get your hands in there etc. no scalp massage either. The toner color was all wrong. I told the studen it was way too dark more than once. she said, "well it's wet". I told her I dry/style my hair with a big round brush. she used a very small round brush & constantly pulled my hair. I repeated use a big round brush but was ignored & it was way too dark. she quit & walked off. an instructor came over & assigned another student to finish drying. i expressed my disappointment & dissatisfaction with the service, 6+ hours wasted. upon re-book an appointment for the following Thursday afternoon as I was driving home the salon called & said I had to come on Saturday so they could have all day, etc. I said no. I was not going to waste another 6+ hours & ruin my whole day again. I requested a refund & I went to another salon where I was properly Taken care of & in a timely manner. I will not return to this school. Teaching a "one size fits all" does not apply to a client with thick hair.
