I am absolutely IN LOVE with my hair…read more I haven't colored my hair in 10 years, so I was incredibly nervous walking into this appointment, but from the moment I sat down, I felt completely taken care of. The atmosphere was beautiful, the playlist was on point, the conversation was great, and I truly felt like the priority the entire time. She took the time to understand what I wanted, cared for my curls so well, and absolutely exceeded every expectation. I left with a curly cut, color, wash, and style, and I genuinely could not be happier with the result. If you're in Charlotte and looking for someone who specializes in curly hair, color, cuts, wash-and-gos, or extensions, I cannot recommend her enough. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she's also a joy to spend time with. Thank you for blessing me so much.

She is incredibly diligent with the details, ensuring every part of the cut matched my expectactions. She asked the right questions, and listened to what I said I wanted. I didn't feel like just another 30 minute chop job like so many places do. I even have one quirky cowlick spot that she specifically addressed - every other stylist just does their thing and moves on and it never looks quite right.

I am leaving another review - different site--of owner Nicole- whose poor manners and poor service…read moreare the topic. As another (past client) stated in her review- poor haircut- not layered well. Paid extra for an 'In depth' consultation- which I did not receive. I have never had someone so rough in simply brushing my hair and later blow drying, along with being so sullen in interactions. When the owner of a salon treats you, as a new client ( or any time period client) in such a derogatory manner- while I remained pleasant and polite- which was not easy - it leaves such a negative impression- honestly one that I have never had from any hair salon I have been to. I moved recently from ATL (40 yr resident ) and never had to pay a deposit- and certainly never had such rude treatment. She didn't tell me what products she used or recommended, she didn't even give me a mirror to look at the back and sides of my new cut. I was then charged extra at checkout for long hair- when that was not presented up front and my hair is barely to the shoulders --NOT long, or thick or difficult. No receipt was provided either. I rightfully disputed this service with my credit card - after the service charge processed- - to then be awakened this morning at 7:24am by 7 phone calls in rapid succession & VM from Nicole- this is beyond comprehension. If you were really interested in understanding my salon experience - you would have called during your ( and my) normal business hours and at 'one' - unanswered phone call- left a professional courteous VM-

First off I would like to say that my review is not a reflection of the salon as a whole. This…read morereview is regarding a particular independent stylist that is renting a place within the salon. Unfortunately there is no place to post an individual review about the independent stylist other than this location, so my apologies to the salon. On December 20th, 2014 I had an appointment with an independent stylist by the name of Monet (Instagram name: Monet Crochet). I was scheduled to receive a Blowout. I was referred to her by my sister in-law and I had seen Monet's seamless sew-in work on Instagram. I was so impressed and had high hopes about my blowout looking as good as those seamless sew-ins. I spoke with Monet's booking manager regarding pricing a month prior to the appointment and she quoted me $65-$120. She explained to me that it would be on the high end ONLY if I needed a cut (not a trim). The booking manager also informed me that I would receive a consultation prior to the service to discuss the confirmed price for the service. On the day of the appointment all went well until it came time to discuss the final price (at the end of the service). By the way, I never did receive a consultation and my hair was barely trimmed. So I'm pretty much thinking at this point it would definitely be on the low end ($65 because that's what I was told). NOPE!!! Ms. Monet quoted me $125 after I had received the services. Of course I was in complete shock and I honestly didn't want to cause any trouble by arguing the price. I did ask her why the price was so high and I mentioned to her that the booking person told me $65-$120. Monet's excuse was that it was a new client fee which included a wash and treatment and that the price would get lower each time I would come back. New client fee?????? Really??? What the heck??? I told her that this information was not explained to me when I set up the appointment. She didn't make any efforts to negotiate the price or show any type of compassion. I really didn't know what to do at that point and I didn't want to display bad character, so I paid the full price. When I got home I felt horrible about the situation and I felt as though I was taken advantage of as a new client and as a person. I decided to reach out to the booking manager to see if something could be worked out since she was the original person to misinform me. Long sorry short, the booking manager came across very defensive. Both her and Monet were not willing to work anything out with me. In fact I was told by the booking manager that I should have known to bring more money just in case I was quoted a higher price. She also didn't acknowledge the fact that she misformed me about the new client fee and the pricing. I would definitely say that although Monet's work is great (and yes my hair looked fabulous), her customer service and business practices are terrible!!!! That totally ruined my entire experience. I think that she feels entitled because she has a lot of followers and so one bad review from a customer won't hurt her lol. I will definitely never go back to Ms. Monet Crochet again and I would not recommend others to go to her as well. Trust me, the techniques she used for her popular "seamless sew-ins" can be done by other stylist in Charlotte for a much cheaper affordable price. Please hear me on this....Monet is over pricing a lot of people and that is just greedy.

The consultation was thorough we discussed my long term hair goals. I have Acute Sinusitis which causes my scalp to be dry and flaky.

Donita is professional yet personable; her energy is welcoming and that's equally important to me. I found my hair home!

I chatted with Donita and she came up with a great plan that I felt comfortable with and voila! She truly listens to her clients and understands what they want. I couldn't be more happy with how my blonde color came out. She did another amazing color job for me!! I genuinely cannot recommend her services enough. We ended up doing the front half of my hair blonde and the back half like a lighter brown. I saw this style on the internet and we used it as inspo for me to kind of ease into the blonde. I love this style, but I will definitely be back to Laissez- Faire Beauty Studio soon to get my full head dyed completely blonde. Cannot wait!!! I also purchased a deep conditioner from her that has been working wonders on my dyed hair. Being blonde has been so fun and I owe it all to Donita!!!

When I called for appt ... I specifically asked for "color specialist" ... I was told Id have appt…read morewith a very experienced stylist. I asked if it was a senior stylist and was told no... but the junior stylist was VERY good with color. I expressed how important that I have someone good. I was assured they were. I came for appt - and stylist was sweet, I talked with her about wanting cool highlights so theyd blend with the gray l had coming in on the crown. I also showed her photos/examples of the cool blonde highlights I wanted - and told her since I pull hair back 99% of the time that the front needed to have more highlights around face/like face framing. And it was just a partial highlight mainly on crown of head. She then had me show her photos again. I felt like communication was clear and she understood. She put me in foils and told me shed be back in 45 minutes. I then tried to listen to a documentary on my phone but there was no wifi. It literally said "no connection" under the CarmenCarmen guest link. I then asked receptionist If I could use the employee one which required a passcode to which she said she didnt know what the passcode was. Then there was another CarmenCarmen wifi link (again needed passcode) - and she said she didnt know that one either. So I sit there just staring at a mirror for 45 min. Not even offered a magazine! I did try the wifi couple more times. I thought it was working but it was still "not connected"... I just gave up. Anyway, I was eventually rinsed out and a toner had to be applied. Which told me its likely hair didnt lift enough. I was still hopeful though. When she removed towel at chair I could clearly see there was no lightness in the front. It looked the same wet - as it did at home - before appt. I waited until it was blown out to see if maybe it was "ok". But the highlights werent even a cool tone. They are golden/ brassy. She asked if I liked it - and I asked if she thought it had a brassy tone to it?!? She said "well do you have any purple shampoo at home"?? I said I did have some purple conditioner - its like a hair mask kind. I didnt want to hurt her feelings so I said "well it looks better than when I came in" bc she "did" cover my gray with brown and that was ok - but in my mind Im thinking its deff not what I was expecting/wanted. The highlights are not fluid, they are chunky and large gaps here and there with zero highlights at all. Some start an inch from my scalp. Some highlights are golden/orange color, some are darker. They are not even the same color but more of a mix of colors. Its seriously the worst hair appt Ive ever had. And instead of leaving feeling good, I was so upset afterwards. I then go to pay and It was $235. I would have GLADLY paid $500 to get a senior stylist who had more experience. I still left a $40 tip bc she was at least a sweet girl - and its close to the holidays. So for $275 I got very brassy uneven BADLY placed highlights and a root wash. Oh and did I mention there was a ball of hair like a rats nest that I had to keep stepping around to get in/out of chair?!? Yea there was that too lol. NOT at all the level of service I had in the late 90's when Carmen did my hair. I live an hour and half away - depending on traffic - so definitely not worth the drive nor the money. HARD PASS on this salon!! Update: I called and they did offer to fix the highlights but Id have to come back to the same location - which I declined. I said Id go to North Lake location which is closer - but that wasnt an option.
