Short version: -Great location…read more-Super easy to get to and from on all modes of transit -Making appointments online makes life a little bit easier -I've had the best hair of my life since I started going to Sara Long version: I graduated college a couple of years ago and of course I wanted my hair to be the best it can be for the sake of photographs and a general sense of accomplishment because let's be honest, getting a degree in architecture does not feel as good as a fierce set of hair on your head. So off to the salon I went. I wasn't a regular anywhere back then because I never felt like I couldn't get a better cut somewhere else, so I decided to see the same person I had my last cut with. I'm not gonna get into the details, but I left the place in tears and sat in my car for a good 30 minutes hyperventilating and crying because graduation was in two days and I had just chopped all of my hair off. The next day I squeezed myself into Sara's full schedule for a rescue cut by jumping in after my friend got their hair dyed a beautiful brown-green gradient. I was honestly just hoping for a decent short pixie after the disaster of a cut I had gotten the day before but I walked out of Magdolls with a haircut that has made me a stronger and more confident person. Now I'm growing my hair out just so I can cut it again. No joke. Do yourself a favor and find a hairstylist. It will change your life. and if you're reading this, that means you're still looking for one so take my recommendation and go see Sara at Magdolls.

So glad to have put this bad experience behind me! ***I had posted a bunch of pictures showing my "results," but MagDolls must've complained and had them removed. I guess they don't want readers to actually see what Terra's work looked like!***

The shop is cute and quirky and conveniently located. All the products are vegan and gentle on my very fine hair. The other ladies in the salon are great as well. I haven't used them, but I hear them work with their clients and have seen their results plenty of times that I'd feel comfortable recommending them as well. If you want a kind and inclusive space with lots of fun wall art and decor then definitely give Hairodactyl a try!

We seemed to be on the same page. I arrived for my apt and Ann very through address my concerns and spending 1/2 hr with me to go over exactly what I wanted. At the end of 1/2 hour, Ann reiterated what I wanted 3x. I wanted greys grow out naturally. My hair is a dark ash brown, but I needed a correction on the bottom half of my hair from other stylists trying to add dark ash brown that always turn auburn. Ann did let me know that this is natural when adding dark ash brown, it will eventually turn red. During our consult, I was also very clear that I did not want additional color added to my hair because I was growing everything out to embrace my grey. I'm sitting in her chair, all of a sudden, all my hair is in foils. this is not what I wanted, but I was trusting myself to the professional of 20 years. When I left the salon and got home, my hair was red. I contacted her with pictures, not once did she owe up to the mess I had. She said she would like to make it right, but in the same text was fine if I went to someone else. Her idea of fixing it was to refund my money, which she should have, then to leave me high and dry. I was informed by Ann to never contact her again because apparently I was not kind in my delivery of how angry and frustrated I was. I do not write reviews, but I am HAPPY TO WRITE THIS ONE.

I recently went back to her for some full-on bangs, and once again she gave me a stylish cut with just a hint of edge. After a few days, I felt like they were just a smidge too long... so she squeezed me in to do a little trim free of charge. Denise is super attentive, a great stylist, and you can tell just an all around kind human. The space itself is also lovely and relaxing, and everyone was following COVID protocols to the letter, which was great too. I can't believe my luck in finding such a great place so quickly! 10/10 recommend.

The stylists at this salon are receptive, friendly and most importantly they are extremely talented. The atmosphere at Windowall is fabulous-- it is always tidy, has gorgeous art deco light fixtures, and is beaming with warm natural light. I've been seeing Emily here for years and she has always given me incredible cuts and color. Her blowouts are unlike any I've had from another stylist. After visiting Emily I get compliments on my hair for months, she really helps boost a clients self esteem and knows how to create the perfect look for her clients. If you let her do her own thing she will make you into a goddess! I also recently visited one of their newest stylists there, Indigo. I showed her photos of the cut I wanted and even described the types of hairstyles Id like to do and Indigo went above and beyond to not only create the hairstyle I desired, but to customize it to my face shape and involved my opinion every step of the way. I was elated by the results. I'm so glad I found another fabulous stylist here! Thank you Windowwall for being so consistent and to all of the stylists who really are masters of their craft.

Here's what happened…read more I found windowwall by website. I reviewed their pricing and stylist bios. I called reception, asked for Katrina, and they said Katrina manages her own schedule so they gave me her number. I texted Katrina and booked my appointment. Success... -1 Star: I arrived to my appointment 10 minutes early and was asked to wait outside of the salon in a sitting area. The only place to sit was underneath a large fan because other chairs were taken by garbage and dirty laundry. Advice: Bring a sweater or coat, even on a nice day! -1 Star: Katrina was 25 minutes late to our appointment. She greeted me and immediately let me know I didn't have to wear a mask indoors. I said it was fine but she continued to put pressure on me. Advice: Regardless of someone else's preference for masks - do what makes you feel comfortable and follow the current county and state guidelines! - Star: Before our appointment and during our consultation, I showed Katrina photos of my hair inspiration. I gave her the full history of my hair. I asked her pointblank: "Do we need permanent or semi permanent color my hair to get my hair a slightly lighter shade of chocolate brown?" Her response in text and over consult was "No, gloss is fine." I figured after asking twice, I was well informed that I was getting a gloss and cut. She begins the appointment and starts with... FOILS. I thought, maybe this is a new technique. I had no idea at the end of my appointment the following: Katrina did a partial highlight on my hair using peroxide and we NEVER discussed this during the appointment Katrina charged me "her own" prices and not the websites. I thought I was paying for 135 (gloss and haircut) and she charged me 300.00... Advice: get in writing what services you'll need/ want and discuss your ballpark price for service so you don't have any astronomical surprises like I did! - 1 Star during the appointment, Katrina splattered color all over me including in my eye and ruined my top. Her process was careless when it came to her clients clothing and face covering. Advice: don't wear nice clothing to your appointment! I texted with Katrina afterwards letting her know that although the results weren't bad, I was surprised at all that had transpired. She faulted me saying she has her own website with her own prices and when giving me the break down of what she charged, she wrote partial highlight... which we NEVER discussed... For me, the experience was a bit shady and careless. I wont return this salon, but I hope you take my advice if you like a stylist here.
