I rarely leave reviews, but this experience was so disappointing that I felt compelled to share it…read more Several years ago, a friend purchased me a gift card to Kasai Salon. Shortly after receiving it, I became seriously ill and lost all of my hair. After years of treatment, my hair finally grew back, and last week I was finally ready to get a haircut. Before my appointment, I told Kasai that I had a gift card. When they attempted to process it, I was told it had "expired" and that they would not honor it. This was not a promotional certificate--it was a gift card that had been purchased for full value. I was told I would have to pay for my haircut. Kasai offered a "discount" if I paid by cash or Zelle, reducing the price from $159 to $140. I paid $100 in cash and $60 by Zelle and kept the unused gift card. Today I called simply to thank him for the haircut and to explain that I would speak with the friend who purchased the gift card. I also mentioned that my understanding is that California law does not allow purchased gift cards to expire. At no point did I mention legal action or threaten to sue. His attitude changed immediately. He became defensive, rude, and told me that if I wanted to pursue legal action, I should go ahead. Again, I had never mentioned anything about lawyers or lawsuits--I was simply trying to resolve the issue respectfully. What disappointed me most was not even the money. It was the way I was treated as a customer. Instead of listening or trying to resolve the situation, I was met with hostility and dismissed. I would strongly caution anyone considering purchasing a gift card from this business. If the recipient cannot use it for any reason for a period of time, you may be told it has "expired" and refused service. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this business, and I will be filing a complaint with the appropriate consumer protection agencies.

Longer version: I found Ashley on socials and booked a new client appointment. She had me follow a bunch of rules: come in with no product in hair, no detangling, and completely dry. She was late to the appointment and I called/texted/DMed to no avail. Eventually, she did text me and let me know that she would be there. In that first appointment, we did a treatment and a wash and go. She also walked me through different products and how to style my hair. I was new in my wash n go journey and she told me to text her when I'm buying my products and to keep her updated on my hair journey. She asked me to write a 5 star review on the spot and to give her any feedback in-person instead of in a review. She tried to convince me to book a haircut, however I wasn't prepared to pay for a curly cut on the spot, but she did convince me to go ahead and still leave a 5 star review and book another wash and go. In the second appointment, it was pretty simple. We did a wash n go, and again she tried to upsell me to book a haircut by kind of insulting me about having dry hair and then also had me write a 5 star review again on the spot. She asked about my hair journey, and I told her how I still don't enjoy doing my own hair, but that I am trying my best to follow her instructions and to use the products she recommended me. I texted her ONCE when I bought the products to make sure it was right, as she requested, and ONCE a photo of my own wash n go. I later saw an Instagram post where she posted a recording of a conversation where I mentioned a salon that I'd visited over a year ago for a curly cut. In that video, my eyes are covered because I'm in the shampoo bowl, so I did not know that I was being recorded. I messaged her telling her that I did not give her permission to record me, that the context of the caption was misleading, and asked her to take that video down. It took some back-and-forth, but eventually she did take it down. That's when I noticed some of the before and after photos which I believe to be also misleading. The before photos she calls my hair dry and makes fun of my new growth, failing to mention the fact that I showed up as requested with my hair uncombed, unconditioned, no product and a year out from a cut. My hair was hydrated in the after photo and looks defined, as it does anytime I do a moisture treatment at any of the salons I've been to. Making fun of my hair while bashing another salon I hadn't been to in a year was unnecessary. This year I was going to a wedding and planning to have my hair in an updo. I wanted to support a black salon and the last one I went to was unavailable the week of the wedding. I saw that Ashley's salon is now using a different stylist other than her. I should've listened to my gut and distanced myself from anything related to Ashley from the jump. I booked a simple Wash N Go appointment with the other stylist, figuring that this is a simple appointment and that I wouldn't have too much interaction with Ashley. My plan was to have a wash and go there to define my curls and then put my hair in an updo for the wedding. The day before my appointment, Ashley texted me re-confirming the appointment and saying she was excited to see that I booked. She asked if I've gotten a curly cut before to which I told her yes and then she asked what products this "other" stylist has me using. I'm not sure why she needs that info if I'm just getting a wash n go but before I could even respond, I got a message saying that my appointment had been canceled and I'm charged a late fee for canceling within 72 hours. I thought it was an error given that she had just reconfirmed less than 5 minutes prior. I had to go back-and-forth with the booking company to eventually get my full refund, including that late cancellation fee. She never responded to my text about why I was canceled but she sent me an email mentioning the video that she recorded without my knowledge and said that "we have our choices." She had never previously expressed any issues or concerns with me, and I thought this was very unprofessional. Looking back, this unprofessional behavior is in line with every interaction we've had. I am posting exact screenshots of my conversations with her, so you can see for yourself the way that she speaks to clients. The fact that she charges people for canceling within 72 hours yet does it herself is telling. The fact that she texts me excited about an appointment just to cancel minutes later is crazy. The fact that there are many reviews saying she retaliated against them for giving less than 5 stars and/or sharing constructive feedback is ridiculous. The fact that she recorded my audio conversation while my eyes were covered in the shampoo bowl is asine.

Obnoxious and Unaccommodating…read more I'm a local for 30 years in the South Bay. I usually get my hair cut at Joseph Martin or Christophe in Beverly Hills. It so happens today, I'm just not in the mood to drive up town. It's already 2 o'clock in the afternoon. So, I got on line and search for local hair salon. I came up on this place and something about it appealed to me. At the time, I saw there were about 5-6 stylists on their website, so maybe 1 is in between appointments that would squeeze me in, It could happen. So I got to the Salon and it felt very unwelcoming. No greetings, nothing as I stood there. First of all, there were only 2 customers in there, and it looks like 2 stylists and one was the owner. He finally looked at me and asked what I need. I said I need a haircut, and there was a big pause and then he went to say he's booked. That's ok, but then the reluctance in offering any kind of service or remedy was so apparent. By the way, where are the rest of the stylists? hmmm. I stood there, unmoved, and he went on to say it will be a while. I'm thinking maybe later today or? but nothing came forth. So I had to ask, A while meaning later today or what are we looking at? he said he's booked for 6 weeks out, without offering to schedule me for another visit, maybe even with another stylist. He just simply turned me away. That's a first. Even if you go to the most posh hair salons in Beverly Hills, no one is ever booked out 6 weeks, especially looking around at this hole in the wall, not likely. Seems more like there's a stench of discrimination. He then suggest I should go upstairs to another salon and see if there's any availability. No thanks, I didn't ask. I would never again give it a second thought.

Unfortunately, this experience was incredibly disappointing. I showed the first stylist multiple reference photos of what I wanted, but she ended up adding a very dark root color to my already lightened hair, which was the complete opposite of the look I asked for. After expressing my concerns, the salon did have another stylist step in to help correct it, which I appreciated, although I waited nearly two hours in between. The second stylist made me feel much more comfortable and did improve the situation, but I still left unhappy with my hair overall. The correction consisted of using a color remover on the roots and applying toner to the rest of my hair, and I was charged $265 for it. At the end of the day, my hair looked better than what the first stylist did but still nowhere near what I originally asked for or envisioned. I'm leaving this review because I think communication and transparency are incredibly important, especially with color services. What upset me most was not just the outcome, but the way the situation was handled overall. I understand that corrections can take time and effort, but if I was going to be charged $265 for a corrective service after my hair was initially mishandled, that should have been clearly communicated to me beforehand. I truly wanted to love this salon and leave feeling taken care of, but unfortunately I left feeling disappointed, uncomfortable, and unhappy with the overall experience.

As you can see in my previous review, I had finally taken the plunge and got a local trim after a friend recommended Vicara at The Point in Manhattan Beach and I guess a couple years later, I'm glad I did. The salon is clean, airy, and generally welcoming (depending who's working the front desk) but the free parking at The Point is a bonus in the South Bay. Every visit I've had has been good - from the shampoo to the cut to the blowout. I savor every second because, honestly, I still feel I am in and out a little too quickly for the price. They use Aveda products, which I love, and I've absolutely spent more money than planned on shampoo and conditioner while I'm there. Every stylist I've had has been good - skilled, friendly, and patient. I think I finally have a regular now, though I forgot her name, despite asking her 10,241,029 questions during my last visit. She answered every single one with patience and kindness. I'll definitely be back...though I still plan on getting my holiday trim in Buffalo :)
