I did ask and was told there was no difference in pricing. Which is why I obviously chose the service. She promised a phone call after a meeting. Unfortunately there was a personal emergency with a staff member and the phone call didn't happen. The stylist did call me and offer a credit to my account. Which I was not what I asked for because I did ask before services were rendered because of price difference. I feel that a cut/color with a short pixie should not cost $250. Way over budget than the original quote. I asked to speak to you Tina, but was never given that opportunity. What also stands out to me is the other reviews of customers with much longer hair and color services paying way less than what I paid for. This was definitely a one and done experience. Next time, please communicate better and with precise details. Nobody should ever have to feel the way I have.

I called on Wednesday afternoon (Aug 6, 2025 CE) looking for a gel mani and pedi -- ideally before…read morea Friday pool party, but absolutely before a Tuesday job interview. When they booked me for the following morning, I was pleased. I got there early, ready to play the parking game on adjacent streets. There's a 1-hour limit on the main drag. Honestly, they need a name for this stretch -- "South Braddock Business District" works, or "SoBra" if we want to get cute like SoCal or SoCo. But I digress. Turns out there's a parking lot in the back! I didn't know you could enter through the rear door, so I walked around to the front. They confirmed later it's totally fine to use either entrance. My appointment was with Tamara, who was setting up when I arrived early. I made myself a coffee, and by the time it finished brewing, she had me seated. She took her time helping me choose a color. I came in thinking "terracotta," but the only similar shade on the wall was burnt orange. Pass. This isn't amateur hour, so I came with backup options. Next choice: dark cherry -- we landed on a deep plum, and I wasn't mad about it. The spa was quiet, clean, and decorated in chill tones. Pedicure station: comfortable. Spa pedicure: nice. Tamara: cool as hell. I usually zone out during a pedicure, but we ended up talking about everything. After the polish, we moved to the manicure station for an equally nice experience. I told her I almost booked Gel X extensions, and she convinced me to go for it next time. When we finished, we both took pictures of my nails, and I headed to checkout. Which brings us to the missing star -- and why I'm unlikely to go back. There's a 4% upcharge for using a card, and I loathe when businesses do that. Processing fees are part of your operating costs -- work them into your prices. You don't charge me less for skipping the other nail lacquers on your wall, and you didn't charge me more for my K-cup. Operating. Costs. Also, you can't leave a tip on card unless you tell them beforehand so they can add it to the total. So now I'm wondering if their software also needs an upgrade. After some confusion, they offered to let me Venmo the tip to the owner to pass along to Tamara. That was also presented as a payment option (which I'd declined earlier), but I ended up doing it because of course I was going to give Tamara her 25%. And then... someone pulled a hit-and-run on my car in their lot. Not their fault, sure -- but the lot's a bit of a free-for-all, not well marked, and apparently has no cameras (I asked). Nobody could or would help me identify the driver, which I understand from a privacy standpoint, or contact them for me. Back to my nails: my thumbnail chipped the day before my interview -- but not badly enough for anyone but me to notice. I'm rough on my nails, so I take full responsibility for the chip in my gel. The chip in my car paint? The driver in the Benz owns that one. TL;DR: Salon is clean, comfy, and calm. Tamara was great. My nails looked perfect for my interview (which went well!). Just park in the lot at your own risk, and hit the ATM beforehand or get yourself a Venmo account.

I hate to leave this review as my initial contact with Salon Le Mae was such a positive one, but…read morealas.... I was relatively new to the area and needed a new stylist, ASAP. After reviewing some options online and making a few phone calls, I quickly settled on Salon La Mae. The reason? I was so impressed with the brief yet thorough consultation I had with the lovely young woman who answered the phone. She asked what I was looking to achieve and quickly recommended the salon owner for my first visit. She even went so far as to give me the owner's private number so I could forward her pics of what my current style looked like and what style I was aiming for. I was told this would better prepare for my initial visit. Nice, right? And I must say, my initial visit was quite good. It was right after COVID re-opening, so many safety protocols were in place. I especially liked how they provided me with a disposable mask so that bleach wouldn't ruin mine. Jamie was very thorough with my consultation and processed my color beautifully. She struggled a bit with my balayage, and I left with more of a highlighted look rather than an ombre appearance, but it was still quite nice. She also struggled some with the flat iron beach wave I requested as far as styling. But not a big deal whatsoever. My biggest complaint was the noise. It's a chatty place and very loud. I like to relax during my salon visits and it's next to impossible to do at this location. The conversation and language could use a slight 'cleaning up' as well. So, onto the following visits. This is where the pleasant waters started to murky some. I called to schedule a root touch-up and was promptly provided an appointment on a Saturday, which I requested due to my work schedule. The night prior to my appointment, I received a text from Jamie stating that she double booked the following day and needed to reschedule my appointment. The soonest she had open was an evening, the following Tuesday at 6:00. Although it was just a few days away and I try to remain flexible, this was frustrating. After a 9-hour workday, I would have to get approval to leave work 15 minutes early and sit at the salon after being away from home all day. So overall, my second appointment was surrounded in unfortunate circumstances and felt rushed once started. Now to my third and final 'attempt' at making an appointment. I called the salon several times one evening to schedule and could not get through. The only option I had was to leave a voicemail for my stylist who would call me back to schedule an appointment. That call never came. I gave it a few days and decided that I should probably admit defeat and move on to another salon. I did and I'm content. Salon La Mae is a laid-back place and just fine for a quick hairstyle needed by a client with a fairly open schedule. Just not for me.

She stopped and asked several times throughout the cut about my opinion on what she was thinking to do next. Couldn't be happier with the outcome. Thanks, Beth!
