Well, this is going to be a long review. I went to get a wig styled. I asked for old Hollywood curls and Judy told me she could do that. I left the wig with her for a week (she said she'd need a week to do it as she was busy with other clients). I communicated twice with Judy over the phone about the wig before I picked it up. The first time I told her I could not come and get the wig yet because I had an emergency that left me unable to go to the salon. The second time I called and told her I was coming to get the wig. She said come on in. Imagine my surprise when I get there and she pulls the wig out of a shopping bag all bunched up, not styled and on a mannequin head like it should have been, and tells me this is all she could do, as the wig did not take to heat styling. The wig does not have Hollywood curls at all, I've attached a photo so anyone can see that the wig looks like it has NO style whatsoever. I have styled synthetic wigs myself, there are alternative methods to heat styling that she could have tried. She's the hairdresser, why do I know this and she doesn't?
I communicated with her twice since dropping my wig off. Why didn't she tell me either of those times that she couldn't style the wig? My theory is that she couldn't style the wig but she didn't want to admit she couldn't style it until I physically got to the salon so she could take me off guard and take my money anyway. Which is what she did.
Fortunately I mustered up the courage to go back to the salon and ask for a refund. She would not give me a full refund because she said she had spent effort trying to style the wig. I told her I didn't pay for her effort, I paid for her product, and I did not receive the product. No one should have to pay for a service they did not receive. She could have spent 10 hours or 10 minutes on the wig, it wouldn't have mattered to me as long as I got my product. The time she spent "trying" to style it is irrelevant. I didn't get what I paid for, and that's that.
Judy was rude when I asked for a partial refund. When I asked for $40 back out of the $65 I gave her, she said "uh, no, $30" in a blunt tone that I was just not expecting. Who treats their customers like that?
She then told me that if I had just bought one of her wigs that she sells there that styling it wouldn't have been a problem. What? None of her wigs are the color or length mine is, and none of them are of the same quality. Plus, she never even suggested that when I first showed up at the salon, and instead PRAISED the quality of my wig and confidently assured me she could style it.
I think other people who went to this salon and gave it good reviews must be easily satisfied. If you are not easily satisfied and/or expect high quality service from professionals, skip this salon. You will be disappointed.
The customer clearly doesn't come first here. Read Julie B.'s review if you'd like another testimony. Judy just wants your money. read more
