My appointment starts on time. As soon as I enter and register, I'm taken around back to start my hair. I'm not sitting waiting for my stylist for 45 minutes nor am I waiting between services. I've once had my hair air dry while waiting for someone to be free to blow dry it. This DOESN'T happen at Azan's. 2. I don't spend all day at the salon. I can actually plan other appointments/events for my day. 3. They don't charge black market kidney prices. My wallet is not as badly affected and they have special pricing for students. 4. My hair has never been healthier. I relax my hair and using chemicals strips it of natural moisture, usually causing it to break and appear like it's not growing. However, my stylist, Karin, really takes care of my hair. I know I'm in good hands and it shows...right there on my head! For these reasons, I keep going back to Azan's.

I heard about Studio Fontana on a Facebook group. The lady quoted me a price under $130 for dye, cut and style. When I arrived at the salon they were behind schedule. The lady met me and was really friendly. She then began to do my hair. After she washed out the dye I noticed my roots were still very dark and I asked her some questions about my hair. She then revealed, she used a temporary dye on my hair (what??? Are you kidding me!!) and she is going to charge me more to re-dye my hair because she will now have to use more dye and it will come out of her pocket. Okay, so now I'm being charged for her mistake?? If she did it right the first time, I wouldn't be in this situation. No salon has ever used temporary dye on my hair. Now, instead of leaving at a normal hour, I was stuck waiting for her to finish my hair until midnight. During the 6 hours I was stuck at this salon I was famished. I wanted to eat dinner but could not because I was sitting in the salon. I also didn't want to eat dinner at midnight since it was time for me to schlep home and go to bed. Any who, my hair looked good when I left the salon but the next day something glorious happened. After I went in the shower (the stylist said this was okay) the dye ran out of my hair and I had no more dye in my hair. My hair faded in one wash! Was this really permanent dye? I really don't think so! I've dyed my hair for years and have never experienced anything like this. I would honestly NEVER return to this salon. Yes, the lady was nice but I've never had my hair fade in one day. This was a horrible experience and I had to go pay another salon to fix their mistake. Talk about a pricy haircut and dye job. Now I had to spend another $200 to redo what Salon Fontana didn't do Right the first time. I don't recommend this salon at ALL.

It's the only way to tame the dried-out mess I was left with. I've never had to deal with anything like this before... And the worst part is the woman (who did initially seem nice) had quoted a price for me beforehand and I guess decided to change it when it came time to pay. Unfortunately I must have not read the credit card machine properly (either that or she decided to leave herself an extra large tip on my card after the fact), and when I reviewed my monthly statement and caught the error, she claimed not to remember. I don't believe that. I had to go back in twice for her to fix the mistake she made the first time. The whole experience was such a pain... She definitely remembered the price I was quoted along with the service that was offered, no question about that at all. So very frustrating, I feel like I got scammed somehow. :/

A BUTCHER CUT BY ALLAN PARSS…read more If you value your hair, stay far away. I went in for a simple trim and left with what is, without question, the worst haircut of my life. Allan aggressively razored my hair, removed an unbelievable amount of density, and created short, choppy layers that I never asked for. Throughout the appointment my hair was positioned in a way that prevented me from seeing what was actually being done until it was too late. Now, over 8 weeks later, my hair is still a disaster. The ends are frayed, shredded, and breaking. It genuinely looks as though a weed whacker was taken to it. My hair had thickness, length, and health before this appointment. Now it looks damaged, uneven, and lifeless. Yes, he refunded the haircut. But a refund does not give me my hair back. I would have gladly paid thousands of dollars to avoid this experience altogether. What makes this even worse is what happened afterward. When I left an honest review describing my experience, Allan attempted to pressure me into removing it. After I repeatedly requested that no video of me be posted, a video was uploaded anyway. Instead of showing any understanding for the damage caused, I received emails telling me I should be happy with the result. Imagine being told to be grateful after your hair has been completely destroyed. I have never written a review like this before. In fact, I rarely leave reviews at all. But I wake up every day frustrated and upset over what happened to my hair. Unless I spend significant time styling it, it looks terrible. If this review prevents even one person from experiencing what I did, then it is worth writing. I asked for a trim. What I received was a butchered, over-razored, mullet-like haircut that removed years of growth and density in a single appointment. Without question, the biggest hair regret of my life. I left a before photo and several after photos so people can judge for themselves. You can clearly see how badly my hair was butchered. Weeks later, every stylist who gives me a blowout asks why I have so many choppy, uneven pieces throughout my hair. I explain that Allan Parss aggressively razored my hair, leaving it uneven and difficult to work with. My hair is now so inconsistent in length that styling it has become a challenge. I went in for a simple trim with long layers and left with what can only be described as a mullet. The excessive razor cutting created short, disconnected pieces throughout my hair that will likely take a year or more to fully grow out. Imagine getting your hair cut short and it being unhealthy months later because a stylists razored the life out of your hair. I always get asked for beauty advice and I always say avoid this place to anyone I know. Added photos of the state of my hair about 3 months after Allan's hack job. Please don't let this man touch your hair.
