Management needs to train them on basic client relations - Don't talk negatively about the clients fiancé to their face. Don't stalk an ex client around the salon.

Some of the stylists simply need better professional boundaries. I found most of my experiences there draining and tedious.

To be fair, I made a mistake and thought my appointment was at 9:30 when it was actually at 9:00. When Cheron called me at 9:10 I immediately apologized and even offered twice to reschedule if that was easier. Instead she just asked for my ETA in an irritated tone and said she'd see me soon. From the minute I got there the whole appointment felt tense. I asked for a simple trim, some face framing pieces, and something low maintenance since I don't spend a lot of time styling my hair. It didn't feel like a difficult request but I felt like my preferences were an inconvenience. Even the shampoo was so rough it was uncomfortable instead of relaxing. The haircut itself turned out nice but what really shocked me was the finish. I paid $150 and expected at least a basic styling. Instead, my hair was blow dried with her fingers... no round brush, no comb, no straightener, no curls. Nothing. I genuinely couldn't believe that was the finished result. I'm happy I ended up with a decent haircut but the overall experience felt uncomfortable from start to finish and nowhere near the level of service I expected.

The photos show the absolutely CRAZY transformation of my hair under these skilled stylists. Instead of wanting to put a bag over my head, I am over the moon when I look in a mirror now. Vivian has been doing hair since the 1980s, and she is truly a GENIUS. She was careful, ensuring that the bleach did not fry my hair, and she had the best ideas. It was a long process, of course, but worth all of the hours in her chair. If you need a hair miracle or a color correction like I did, I HIGHLY recommend Vivian and her team at Salon Arcaro without any hesitation. She KNOWS her trade, and she's TRULY a Master of hair ‼

But the rate his hair grows, he just wanted something cheap and easy. I love the location, it is right on the Marietta Square. I always stop by Updog while he gets a haircut and come back.

He normally gets his hair cut by Brittney. But anyone that does his hair does a fantastic job. He typically calls to see if they have any available appointments that day, and to see if he can get squeezed in. Most the time, he is able to get in the books. They cut, wash, blow dry, style, you name it. You pay up front, and you can add your number to the 5 stars to accumulate points towards your next visit, or whenever you want to redeem it.

I had never once had my hair color touched by a professional, and I came to The Blonde Salon for a consultation in a panic about wanting to get back to my natural color & wanting to heal my hair after months of damage. I came in with no type of knowledge, just some Pinterest photos and a dream. I trusted Hailey with my literal life the other day and she completelyyyy transformed my hair. I walked out of the salon feeling so brand new and so happy and excited to be alive, truly. She took me from an uneven and damaged bleach and tone to a healthier lived-in dirty blonde that is SO gorgeous, her talent is unreal, she is literally an artist. She is so knowledgeable, & she made hair day so enjoyable and relaxing - she knew I was new and nervous & walked me through everything we were doing & made sure I was confident & happy!! She's so easy to talk to, her vibe is amazing, honestly the vibe of the entire salon is amazing. Hailey and all of the stylists hyped me up when we were done, they were all SO sweet and personable.

This Salon works if youre a male looking for a trim or an older lady with short hair who needs a color retouch for her roots. Or Hannah Montana loose curls that were popular in the 2000s. I moved to the area 1.5 years ago from Long Island. It seems like every girl upstate takes 1-3 balayage classes and calls themselves a "specialist" or "expert" in blondes. In this Salon youll find older stylists who use hair techniques popular 20 years ago, and the younger stylists who clearly arent experienced enough to have their own chair based off the one class they took. Words cant explain how badly my Stylist Mia messed up my hair. I went in for a correction and explained thoroughly what I needed and expected. I asked her to do a hair strand test MULTIPLE TIMES. I also asked to see a picture of what she thought she could accomplished in my hair. Didn't get either. After spending 6 hours there I left with worse hair then I walked in with!! THIS IS THE MOST UPSETTING PART. I went into this Salon because I was unhappy with work from another stylist, it wasn't until I walked out of Nuance that I had a mental breakdown in tears because of how bad my hair looked. This was a result of not doing a proper consultation, not being a skilled enough stylist to work on my hair, not listening to clients needs. I was there for 6 hours because she used 10-15 developer when she needed to be using 10 or even 30 in some places. I was charged $200 and left a $40 tip in consideration for the time spent. I left with my hair wet hoping it would look better when it dried. The next day there was clear animosity (I don't know why, I am a customer looking for an issue to be rectified) Mia gave me an hour of her time and said she could not give me any more time, despite the fact I was still not happy. My hair looked better than the first time she worked on it, but it looked almost identical to what I walked in with trying to correct. I told her repeatedly I do not want blonde chunks in the front and for some odd reason that's what she did. If she didn't feel comfortable working on my hair, or that we could accomplish what I wanted - she couldve been honest from the beginning. When I asked for partial refund cause I was not happy she blocked me lol. If youre looking for amazing hair, color correction, or a new look - Stay away from here. An updated salon on the outside, and on the inside ran by outdated and mediocre stylists. The main focus was the hairline, the rest of my hair was already lightened. This makes it harder to find the next stylist, once your hair has been botched. Eventually after I give my hair a break I will have to pay another stylist for a color correction & Balayage. When I called out their clearly shoddy work, I was blocked. Tells you all you need to know, really. Look at their IG I was unsure if the work they were doing is the work being requested my clients, so I didn't want to judge. Having been there and gotten an awful experience, I now know what you see is what you get. If you want to look mediocre this is your spot! If you want to look amazing and get compliments on your beautiful hair, stay away from this silver polished turd vessel.
