What disappointed me most was not only the result, but the way my concerns were handled afterward. Instead of taking responsibility for the result and trying to understand why I was unhappy, the stylist repeatedly shifted the conversation toward blaming me. I was made to feel that the problem was somehow related to my language barrier and cultural differences in communication. At one point, the conversation even became about money and what I had paid for -- essentially, "You didn't pay for the whole highlight, right?" -- which felt completely inappropriate and shaming. I have never experienced this level of disrespect or lack of accountability in a beauty salon. I left feeling sad, embarrassed, and unwelcome, when I had simply come in expecting professional service and to be heard as a client. I want to be clear that I don't believe this experience represents the values of the entire salon or its owners. My issue is specifically with this individual stylist and the way he handled a situation when the result did not meet my expectations. I am sharing this so other women, especially those who may have a language or cultural communication difference, know to make sure their concerns are genuinely listened to and treated respectfully. A client should never be made to feel guilty or ashamed for expressing disappointment with a service.

There are not enough words to describe how amazing I feel after getting my hair done at The Blend House. Erin always goes above and beyond to make my hair look healthy and fabulous. I've never felt comfortable sitting in a salon chair until I met Erin. Whether it's her expert advise on how to keep my color looking fresh, or tips on how to recreate her flawless beach waves, this girl gives her all to everyone who enters her salon. It truthfully feels like you are going to hang out with one of your best girlfriends. Do yourself a favor and make an appointment with Erin. I guarantee you will leave The Blend House ready to conquer the world (and with Instagram worthy hair). read more

Fusion Hair Studio

(18 reviews)

Every review starts with horrible hair. Haha ‍…read more I was a brunette turned balayage blonde because of, you know, a guy. Then the salon I went to bleached my hair with product so bad that my hair essentially turned into a bird nest made out of grass. Dry, endless tangles, and brassy. I went to solo Solon back in 2018 and booked an appointment with Joey. It was probably the best 5 hours spent - Joey was sooooo patient with my stubborn asian hair, and needless to say, I looked fabulous. Soon after Joey moved to another salon, I followed him to keep up with my hair appointments. There's never been any disappointment or anything less than positive experience with Joey. I would say "I think my hair needs some touch up", and Joey would say "oh yes it does, hon". And you will be in good hands. And by good hands, I mean you will be so pleasantly surprised by how you look right afterwards, a little surprised and trying to get used to the new look. But then 3 days later you look into the mirror and you're like, oh jeez why do I look so good????? The coloring is so multidimensional - I've gotten so many compliments for my hair. I broke up with above-mentioned guy in June, and I went to see Joey again. "I want a change because I'm back on the market," I said. "I think maybe I want to go brunette again." Joey looked at me and said, "my dear, let's lighten you up this time because of the things you're going through. It's a touch time and darker tone will only weigh you down." That moment I felt like Joey truly cares, that he takes care of not only my hair or my looks, but my soul (really). Fast forward to January 2020, Joey moved to Fusion Hair Studio, and I had my appointment with him again. I always walked out with the happiest, most genuine smile on my face, thanks to Joey. With his years of experience (I think he actually teaches coloring too), I truly believe that there's no one better to get your hair done with, 100%.

For about three years I had been dyeing my hair red at another salon, and before that it was dark brunette. I recently moved to Lakeview and went to a different stylist to remove the red and get back to my natural dark blonde. While he did a great job lifting the color, but I ended up VERY blonde (cute but not what I wanted..) I looked into this place, booked a consultation, and had my first appointment in early March. And wow. Karlee listened to all of my concerns, gave me very realistic expectations about getting back to my natural color, and worked with me on pricing. Anyone with secretly a lot of hair knows that coloring can easily cost more than the consultation estimate. Karlee recommended the "mega" service so I wouldn't get hit with an extra bowl fee (which always seems to happen to me). In 2026, we all have to keep an eye on our budgets and avoid surprise charges lol. My hair looks and feels amazing. It's exactly what I was hoping for, and I feel like myself again for the first time in 7+ years. If you're looking to get back to your natural color after years of covering it, and especially if you're a level 7 (which can be tricky to match, in my opinion). Book a consultation!
