I had a very upsetting experience at this salon as a first-time client. I booked an appointment to…read moreget my roots done and was genuinely looking forward to having a little time to myself as a busy mom of two. When I arrived, I had my two-year-old with me in a stroller. She was calm, quiet, and watching a movie completely unbothering anyone. The salon itself was nearly empty, with only one other client present. Instead of being welcomed, I was immediately met with a very cold and judgmental attitude from the front desk. I was looked up and down, along with my stroller, and told in a very rude and inflexible manner that children were not allowed and that I would either need to leave or reschedule. As a mother, it is not always easy to find time for self-care, and I made the effort to come in for this appointment. The lack of empathy or basic courtesy was honestly shocking. There was zero attempt to accommodate, problem-solve, or even speak kindly. To make matters worse, I was charged $75 (50% of the service) simply for having to leave despite the fact that the situation could have been handled with basic human decency and flexibility. I do want to note that Desi, the hairstylist, did try to be kind while witnessing the way I was being treated, and I appreciate that. I understand this situation was not her fault. However, the overall customer service and experience are a direct reflection of the business she represents. This was the first time I've ever experienced something like this at a salon. I left feeling embarrassed, dismissed, and frankly, discriminated against for being a mother. I will not be returning, and I would not recommend this salon especially to other moms. There are plenty of places that treat clients with respect, kindness, and understanding. This was not one of them.

It took months of research to find the perfect stylist and she is the definition of perfection.

I haven't felt this beautiful in a long time, and thanks to Mei-ling, she sparked that light that I much needed.

I have very long, coarse, curly hair, and she somehow gets it incredibly sleek and straight, especially at the roots, which is not easy to do with just a blow dryer.

If you have hair like mine and are looking for a smooth, polished blowout that actually lasts, I can't recommend Nicole enough!

Do I need to explain any further? I'm genuinely horrified. I asked for blended. I came in with…read morepretty heavy bangs that were uneven from the get I understand that. But I Literally was better off not showing up. Literally the original looks better than this. I thought for a moment before I left that maybe it wasn't her fault until I compared it to the original...... what was she even thinking. Stylist was too busy wanting to go home & in a bad mood than anything.. even though I waited patiently 30 minutes after my appointment time to get sat. I genuinely genuinely hate hate it more than everything I've ever experienced. I mentioned that I was dissatisfied several times and she said go to target and buy some clips. I don't know how someone could be so inexperienced in cutting hair and why they would willingly take a cut they know they couldn't fix. I rather be told you can't help me than do this to my hair.. like what was the thought process? I am honestly so horrified at my results . And as a stylist she should be too....................

So thankful I took a chance. Will be referring all my clients and friends in the area to her. Thank you so much Karen On another note, got to meet Michelle, their lead medical esthetician... can't wait to pamper myself by scheduling some microneedling with her.

Thanks again for taking great care of me, I'm a happy client for life!

Yes, I do my own bleaching at home. No, we are not unpacking that. Shelbie was assigned to me at HAAS Salon and I genuinely loved her. Professional, funny, easy to talk to, and not one comment about the state of my hair. She kept the conversation lively and made the whole appointment feel relaxed instead of awkward. Time passed by quickly.. Now, a small but important note. I brought my mother because that is just what we do. We grabbed food next door and sat in the waiting area finishing our vegetable rolls before my appointment. Apparently, that is not the vibe. Also, if your guest is not getting a service, they would prefer they not hang out in the waiting room. To be clear, Shelbie handled both the eating in the waiting room and my mother observing the entire process with total grace. She stayed professional and kind throughout. In the end, my haircut turned out beautifully. Clean, Layered Just Right, exactly what I wanted... current on trends too. So thank you, Shelbie. You handled the situation like a pro, and I walked out very happy.
