BRACE YOURSELVES. This is long. PICTURES ATTACHED. & very, very, detailed.
Ok, so I went to go get a trim, & possibly some layers. I got assigned to "cosmetologist" STEFANI VASQUEZ. I specified... I want you to trim my tips first, (zero degree cut, & about 4 in. Off my length. Keep in mind my hair was up to my pretty much my waist) After that, IF possible do long layers (180 degrees). I don't want my hair in the shape of a V, and I don't want my hair any shorter than maybe 4 inches cut off of the length, if that's not possible just stick to the 0, just cut a straight line. I also showed her a picture of MY OWN HAIR, with a line across where I wanted her to cut, I couldn't get any more specific than that. I lost count of how many times I specifically said "I DONT WANT A V SHAPE" Well Stefani here, decided to do her own thing. To sum it up... I got the biggest V in the history of Vs, & when my hair is curly, I had like 7 strands just there out of place, hanging. My top layer (which is supposed to be the shortest) is longer than the bottom layer (which is supposed to be the longest).. and the worst part.... MY HAIR IS SHORTER THAN MY SHOULDERS NOW (curly). ANDDDD!!! Even worse... She followed absolutely no degree. I got chops everywhere. Absolutely everywhere. I look like a cow had been chewing off of my damn head. She then proceeded to give me a blow out, possibly to defuse the choppiness so I wouldn't notice right away... I cried for about 24 hours, since I've been growing out my hair, and trimming to remove that V shape for over 2.5 years, and I have tight tight curly hair that was going to turn into an Afro. I called the store multiple times to speak to a manager, and I got transferred to 2. Both of them (Alyssa & Judy), told me they could offer me multiple free hair cuts, and offer me a hydration treatment for my curls. I specified I didn't need a hydration treatment since that was just going to revive my curls and make them tighter, and I needed something to calm them down. They both proceeded to tell me, They couldn't offer the treatment I needed since it's over $200, and the only way I could get it is if they already messed that up once, they did offer me a discount though. I said I wouldn't pay to fix one of their employees mistakes. But they continued to disregard my needs, (Alyssa with her snotty attitude) and try to sway me away with a hydration treatment. My needs were disregarded until I requested to speak to the DM of the stores, traci. (That's when alyssas time/demeanor gave a 180 turn) Although, they refused to let me speak to her, they decided to go ahead and help me with what I considered best for their fuck up.
Anyway, Judy ended up helping me today, and she was the only upside of all of this experience. She was polite, & very professional And she was very concerned about what had happened to my hair, and assured me they were not going to let this slide. After all, I did go in for a $20 (promotional) hair cut that ended up costing the company over $200. I think the regular price for a hair cut is $45. Which is more expensive than getting an awesome job @ Regis at the mall. I also know, ALOT of previous cosmetologist from Dillard's work at the one by the expressway. So, I would recommend going every where else, but here. I feel like they will just hire anyone... read more
