WORST Salon Experience -- Mismanagement, Damaged Scalp & Hair, and Disrespect from the Owner Down…read more It takes a lot for me to write a negative review, but what I experienced at this salon, especially under Bree's ownership, is unacceptable, and I feel responsible for warning others. Toxic Culture and Poor Management Several stylists have complained about Bree, the owner--citing manipulative behavior, pay stagnation, and lack of support. Prices keep rising, yet stylists are underpaid & undertrained. You're paying NYC rates for small-town talent. Their most senior stylist recently left, and several more are planning to. That kind of turnover is a red flag and always points to toxic leadership. They advertise themselves as an Aveda concept salon--but it's a disservice to the Aveda name. There's no real training or quality control. Bad Cut & Color I started at this salon w/ color appts. This year, I added a cut. I asked for layers--the stylist said they were there--but my hair always looked blunt & shapeless. Between the color and cut being off, i decided to try a new stylist. Months later, a new stylist said (unprompted) that my hair had no layers--just two uneven chunks w/ a 2.5-inch drop. Final Straw - Burned Scalp, Red Hair & No Accountability I booked a last-min appt and met with a 3rd stylist (the first one quit, the 2nd one was on vacation). I asked for chocolate brown. The stylist bleached my hair, dyed it, but I ended up w/ light brown, so she shampooed and added more color. Then suddenly--I had red hair. She said brown has "red undertones." I pushed back. She said she'd add toner. Instead, she brought out powder, poured it over my hair, and scrubbed so hard I could hear my hair snapping and feel my scalp burning. Afterward she said it was a color stripper. At that point, we were 3-4 shampoos in. She reapplied toner, it turned even redder. I had now been at the tub for 3 hrs for a gloss/color. She was adamant it was brown. She had agreed at the start to blow dry my hair (I didn't know it had to be booked separately), but after messing up my color, she said she "didn't have time" and blamed me for not requesting it. I asked to dry just some of it to confirm if it looked red or brown. She agreed to dry the front. She roughly combed through my curly, fine hair--despite me saying my scalp was raw. She blow-dried the front (only the front)--and it was clearly RED. Not red undertones. MY SCALP IS BURNING. I have visible open patches on my scalp that I've never had before. My scalp feels like there's carpet burn 4 hrs later!! Owner's Pathetic Response I was clearly upset when I left. The stylist knew. The front desk knew. The stylist even offered to stay late to fix it. Tension was obvious. Bree, the owner, was at the front but didn't introduce herself. She asked, "Everything okay?" I said, "No, I'm not," and left w/ tears in my eyes. In my car, I saw how red and PATCHY the "highlights" looked in the sunlight. I collected myself & called within 5 mins to speak to Bree. The receptionist said she "left." Then said she was "in an interview." I asked which was true--she got defensive. I asked for Bree's number--was told she'd call me. She never did. Instead, I got a generic text: "Hi Priti--My manager emailed you. I'm so sorry, let me know what I can do." I checked--NO EMAIL. That kind of avoidance explains why her team speaks about her the way they do. AVOID AT ALL COSTS This salon is mismanaged, unprofessional, and not what it advertises. Stylists are undertrained. My hair is damaged. My scalp is burned. The owner won't take accountability. I HAVEN'T GOT A REFUND. If you think this is just one angry review -- ask why 4-6 stylists have left or plan to. Check how much prices are increasing and see if you receive notification about it. This kind of turnover isn't random. If you value your hair, money, or health--go somewhere else. The reason she doesn't care is bc the stylists are leaving. She can then say on these review that there are new stylists...ITS YOU BREE! You're the problem.

I called and the young lady answered, who happened to be the owner and she was able to get me in at noon, which worked out perfectly because I could go on my lunch. When I first arrived, she was already waiting for me at the front and I even managed to get there a little early and she got me started right away. The chair they have you sit in while you get your hair washed massages you. Talk about total relaxation!!! I was so comfortable I almost fell asleep. She even included a little head massage to go along with it - it was awesome. She took her time with my hair and got rid of all these horrible ends and my hair came out looking so shiny and felt so much better. And to top it off she did all this in a hour! I loved my experience here and I will def come back in the future if I need a quick cut.

I needed my roots dyed and hair cut/styled and spoke with Jaime at the mall. As we spoke I knew she was an experienced stylist. The end result was that she was amazingly spot on. She is funny, witty, and professional all at the same time. Jaime matched my color and cut/styled my hair! She highlighted and cut/styled my sister in law's hair and we were both extremely happy with our hair. I know it's crazy but I plan on driving from VA to FL to get my hair done by Jaime. My sister in law said she is blessed to live in Florida! If you are looking for an excellent and professional colorist/stylist ...

I booked a balayage, haircut, and blowout package with Tamara after seeing her work on the Bhava page, and I'm SO glad I did! From the moment I walked in, everyone was so friendly. The salon is beautiful, spotless, and has such a relaxing atmosphere while still feeling fun and welcoming. Tamara introduced herself right away, made me feel comfortable, and took the time to really understand what I wanted before we got started. She asked about my hair history, goals, and inspiration photos, then walked me through different blonde tones to make sure we were on the same page. I wanted a subtle, blended balayage that looked naturally sun-kissed, and she absolutely nailed it. I was offered complimentary drinks, snacks, and under-eye masks. During my appointment we had great conversation, and while my toner was processing, she even offered me a hand massage with lotion. This place feels like a spa! The best part? My hair still looks amazing months later! The balayage has grown out so seamlessly that I'm just now thinking about booking my next appointment. If you're looking for beautiful, low-maintenance color and an amazing salon experience, I will never stop recommending Tamara and Bhava Salon!

After talking to the manager she thought it looked fine and still had to pay for the worst job I've ever had in my life!
