Came to the Blow Down for the first time to get hair and makeup done for a wedding and was SO HAPPY…read morewith the results! Thank you Ashley and Michelle! My appointment was at noon on a Saturday and there was no wait, in fact, Ashley sat me down a little early to get hair done. I didn't have any reference photos but mentioned my ideas and she ended up giving me soft waves and a half up do with a Dutch braid - I got so many compliments on my hair. She's so talented and so sweet! Was probably done within 40-45 min. I then had my appointment with Michelle around 12:45 for makeup. Showed her a few photos, mentioned I didn't want anything too over the top / was interested in soft glam. She asked my preferences throughout the appointment and it was very relaxing to sit under her care. I ended up with an understated, soft glam look that I loved! She probably took about 30 min or so. Finally, Ashley even gave me a slight touch up of my curls after makeup was done, which was so appreciated! Highly recommend this salon! Had an amazing experience (was offered beverages btw) and loved my hair and makeup! Cost was reasonable and I was in and out from ~12-1:30 for a lovely look for the wedding I attended!

My updated experience at Mane Thing Salon…read more... So after about 3 months and the owner Mariam emailing me to better the experience I had initially, I gave it a try. Mariam, man, she was the best....the interaction, her professionalism and approach to try and fix my experience, was the best! The fix cut she gave me was great. I enjoyed her the time with Mariam and truly appreciate her trying to correct the poor experience I had the first time. My suggestion is if you do not want to go wrong here at the Mane Thing, YOU WILL HAVE TO GO TO. MARIAM! She is the only person I can recommend to get what you asked for and be happy with the results. She is also such a friendly soul and we had great conversations. Thank you Mariam. No questions on why you are the owner here....hopefully getting the rest of your stylists to that level, is on the planner!

I chose this salon because I previously had a great experience getting my bangs trimmed by one of…read morethe owners and loved their work, so I booked again with a different stylist, Yahayra. I can only speak to my experience with this stylist. Unfortunately, my recent haircut did not turn out as requested. I asked for long layers while keeping fullness at the ends, along with some face framing, and I provided inspiration photos. A cut I've gotten many times. The result was significantly shorter, uneven, and choppy. After the initial cut, we moved straight into styling without any visible checking, blending, or refinement of the shape. I first reached out directly to the stylist, who acknowledged the mistakes, apologized, and issued a full refund, which I appreciated. I then reached out privately to the salon to share feedback. During the conversation with management, the response suggested the result may have been due to how my request was interpreted, rather than solely an execution issue. I was also offered an appointment to correct the cut, but a $50 deposit was requested, and I did not proceed further. Correcting the haircut afterward required multiple follow-up appointments with other stylists to fix the issues, and additional length had to be removed. I had been growing my hair out for over two years, so this was especially disappointing and saddening. I'm sharing this so others have a clear picture of my experience with both the haircut and the follow-up process.

From the moment I walked in, everyone was so friendly and I sat down at Supreet's station. I have a lot of thick, dry, colored and textured hair and am always apprehensive when trying someone new. Supreet did an amazing job and had my difficult hair perfectly straightened and curled in roughly an hour. I was so happy with the experience that I don't mind taking the drive just to see her. They also have a make-up bar I might try one day.

I had a bad experience at this place and emailed the owners two days ago and have not heard…read moreanything back so just thought I'd post my email here in case they're looking at this and to warn others about my experience Dear Management, I'm writing to express my disappointment with my recent visit to your salon for a blowout and styling appointment before an important family photo session. My stylist was A--, and I want to start by saying that she was very sweet, polite, and genuinely took her time. However, it became apparent throughout the appointment that she lacked the experience and skills necessary to deliver the service I had booked. To begin with, I noticed that the hair at the base of my head was not properly washed, although I chose not to say anything at the time. The bigger issue came during the styling. A--- spent a considerable amount of time curling and pinning my hair, but when she finally released the curls, my hair had absolutely no shape or style. It looked nothing like a professionally finished hairstyle. By this point, I was already running late for my family photo session, and the situation became extremely stressful. A--- eventually had to ask Adriana for assistance. Thankfully, Adriana stepped in and essentially had to redo my entire hairstyle. I was very grateful for her help and professionalism, especially considering that she was already attending to another client. Unfortunately, that client was then left waiting approximately 20 minutes while Adriana tried to salvage my appointment. While I appreciate Adriana's willingness to help, I find the entire situation completely unacceptable. As someone who works in the beauty industry myself, I understand that everyone has to learn and gain experience. However, there is a level of skill and competency that should be expected when a stylist is independently servicing paying clients. Customers book professional services with the expectation that the stylist is qualified to deliver the desired results within a reasonable amount of time. I had scheduled this appointment specifically so I could look my best for our family photographs. Instead, what should have been an enjoyable experience turned into an incredibly stressful one, and I ended up arriving late to my photography session. I don't wish to be unkind toward A---, as she was genuinely lovely. However, I do believe management needs to be aware of this situation and ensure that stylists are adequately trained and capable of performing the services they are assigned before working independently with clients. Given the circumstances, I would appreciate a refund for the service or, alternatively, a complimentary blowout and styling appointment with an experienced stylist. I hope you understand my frustration and will take my concerns seriously. I would appreciate hearing back from you regarding an appropriate resolution. Thank you for your attention.

I cannot recommend Jayden enough! I've been trusting her with my hair for about 5 years now, and…read moreshe is truly the only person I want touching it. She has colored it, cut it, transformed it, and helped me maintain its health through it all. My hair has grown so much, is healthier than it's ever been, and I genuinely credit a lot of that to her. What I love most is that Jayden actually cares about the health of your hair. She always recommends the best products for MY specific hair and never pushes anything I don't need. She's extremely knowledgeable, talented, and pays attention to every little detail. If you're looking for a hairstylist who you can fully trust, BOOK WITH JAYDEN. You will not regret it!

Once I went in person I was told it would actually be much more expensive since it was a color correction. I can't remember the exact price but I was not prepared to pay more than $500 at the time. I ended up getting my money piece done and the stylist did a good job at that but it still cost $150 plus hair cut so the total cost with tip was ~$250. I was just disappointed that I sent photos and got a quoted number and that the in-person quote was so different. The person who quoted and the person who did my hair were different people so maybe they didn't agree on the price with the actual stylist. I feel like they should communicate with each other. I later went to a different salon and they did not charge me for a color correction and it turned out great.

Another update on Salon Domane Only rave great things to say…read moreabout them She the owner is always there and he's really nice and I think it's his wife who also works there and she's helpful and nice and they have water and offer you tea and they have candy and magazines and I go there for myself and I have a pretty complicated hair. It's naturally curly and light brown, which I haven't seen in 30 years. I bleached it out diet, baby pink, and get extension extensions put in this takes me four appointments. They are really really close to me and so I really really lucked out. Note to anyone who has never been there before, there is always parking right in front. It has a green painted curb though that says it's only 10 minutes, but it doesn't matter. It's fine. You can be there forever. It's fine I promise. Can I go to the nail shop next-door which doesn't really good job too. OK, back to Salon Domane things that I like about them is that I also go there every week with my mother like I said who just turned 80 and has Alzheimer's and jenn is so awesome that she's really booked so now I've seen two or three other stylist for her getting her hair washed and set or colored and they're all good with her. Everyone's really nice. And they have a good system that text messages me with confirmation confirmations and reminders, which is helpful because, well ADHD and stuff. Marissa is Jenny's assistant and she's really awesome too. They use really good products. It's a not a big place. Maybe like 12 stations. So it's not cheap, but it's totally not expensive either. I think it's appropriate. And for me who does extensions, she lets me get my own and bring them in and uses them which saves me money so I appreciate that but I recommend jenn for anything that is "different " as in hair color or styles. She hasn't had "natural" colored hair since I've met her and I haven't since I can remember either so I got lucky that she was the one available when I called to make an appointment with someone because I first found them through Instagram anyways. Lol this is long but that's me. Ashley is really nice, too. I really appreciate how patient they are with me and my mom. I've had to cancel last minute and even I have no showed before and I wasn't charged, which is very generous... Don't do it! Lol but yeah. Everyone's independent I think so. Just find who you like or just call and get the first person available cause I'm sure they'll be good. But if you do have something specific you are in mind, I'm sure whoever answers the phone can point you in a good direction of who is the best for you :))))) xxxooo Oh, and I'm picky AF when it comes to anything involving health and beauty and body care so yeah I'm so glad I found them cryyyyy
