Came in for an appointment on Saturday 5/1/21 that I had booked a week prior. I wanted color, trim,…read moreand a silk out. She didn't have the color so we rescheduled for Thursday at 4.... Fast forward to Thursday 5/6/21.... I took PTO and drove an hr to get there b/c I don't live in Kokomo (and I can't find any good stylists in my area), but I heard good reviews about this place and I heard her rave about how she does natural hair, so I wanted to try Tiffany out. WELL, not only did she not show up until an entire HOUR later to my scheduled appointment (mind you, I said I took PTO for this, so for that, my "appointment" could've just been scheduled for 5 and I could've saved my PTO), when she came in, she had an a attitude from hell!!
When I finally sat in her chair, she began slightly picking my very 4C hair out. She then asked if I was tender headed and I said yes, but I deal with it. Her response (with an attitude) was "Aw naw, well you're gonna have to do this yourself then!" as she proceeded to hand me the pick. I reiterated that it's no biggie, I'm used to it and I just deal with it. I could tell that she really didn't want to do my hair by her extremely stank attitude she had towards me.
She barely proceeded to pick my hair out some more (as she complained about my hair the whole time) and it wasn't 2 full minutes later when she blurted out with the ugliest attitude " I AM NOT DOING THIS!!! I REFUSE TO DO THIS! THIS IS GONNA TAKE ME HOURS TO COMB OUT! I'M NOT DOING IT! YOU CAN EITHER DO IT YOURSELF OR WE CAN CANCEL THIS APPOINTMENT!!" Bewildered, I said umm... ma'am.... you knew I had this 4C fro on Saturday when I came in and you told me to reschedule. You said you do natural hair and why would I help you do my hair when I'm PAYING YOU to do it?! I took time off of work and drove an hour to get here and you showed up an hour late! This is for my GRADUATION tomorrow!!
Tiffany went on to tell me that it didn't matter that she was an hour late, that all her other clients usually show up with their hair detangled (mind you, I was a new client, I was getting color and a silk out, and nowhere in her description did it ever say to detangle before you come), and that my only two options were to comb it out myself while she finishes all her other clients, or cancel the appointment because she absolutely REFUSES to do it. She gave no cares in the world how far I drove to get to her or that I took time off work for this, OR that it was for my freaking GRADUATION!!!
I told her to give me 5 minutes so I could figure out what I was gonna do. Before I could even give her an answer, she had already cancelled me out. The fact of the matter is, she already didn't wanna do my hair from the start. I honestly feel discriminated against from a hair standpoint. She bragged about being old school and only doing natural hair when I first met her, but she never said she didn't do 4C natural hair. I have NEVER IN MY LIFE been to a professional stylist that didn't know how to properly combs and style my hair. I guess my hair was too "nappy" for her. People like her definitely push the agenda of "good hair, bad hair". Honestly, it's no different that certain segments of white America pushing their straight hair agenda on us. She is no better!
Sadly, this ruined my graduation day and I looked a hot mess for one of the biggest days of my life. This was and is EXTREMELY heartbreaking to me, as this was something I was greatly looking forward to for my big day and there was no one else who could get me in last minute to do everything I needed done.
The fact that she didn't even have the decency to say least honor my TIME is beyond me! She didn't even try!! This is absolutely pathetic and diabolical at best! It sounds like something from a movie! The crazy thing is, I went over to Summit Salon and they were able to detangle my hair just fine without complaint. Mind you, these are STUDENTS and they're not even trained on textured hair at all, yet they got it. However, the "PROFESSIONAL" couldn't seem to do it, didn't care and didn't even try smh. Tiffany is rude, trifling, ghetto, unprofessional, inconsiderate and legit has an attitude from Satan himself! NO CLIENT DESERVES TO BE TREATED LIKE THAT! EVER!! I wish I could give -5 stars! -5/10, I DON'T recommend! Needless to say, I will NEVER be back and I certainly hope karma comes back to bite her where it hurts most!!
