    Aaron truly listens and creates beauty! He took my relaxer damaged hair from straight and frizzy to curly and defined. He truly listened to my story and my concerns and even mixed up a leave in conditioner with types of products I'd mentioned to make a cocktail unique to my hair! He got my hair to hold a curl again and feel healthy! He cut it with precision to give it body and shape, used olaplex, and patiently detailed and finger curled each strand! I felt very taken care of and paid attention too!!! Thank you Aaron!!!! Folks my hair is naturally 3C, I'm half black, half Jewish. Had a decade of texturizers/relaxers.

    First-time client review. (Last time I will need to do this, as I fully intend to never see anyone but Aaron again). I have "sort of" curly/wavy hair, and have spent the last year and a half playing with my natural texture. This was my 3rd curly cut in that time span, and Aaron totally nailed the entire experience I was searching for. I found Aaron from a comment (from someone I don't know) on a friend's Instagram suggesting him on a comment thread about curly hair. Random! I hadn't seen his work before and had been furiously googling local curly experts in my spare time for months. I started following his Instagram and after spending some time checking out his work, I knew I had to book an appointment -- especially after seeing some really amazing shaping and styling with some people who have similar hair to mine in his portfolio. I can't think of a better environment than what is going on at theFactory. Bright, clean, beautiful space in an area where metered parking was a cinch to find on a Saturday. Aaron listened carefully to what I was looking to improve, asked thoughtful questions, and was communicative about what he was doing. I felt like we were creating an image of what I wanted together. I contributed what I knew and liked, and I felt totally safe letting Aaron create the look right for me. After the final flip of my hair when it was dry, I was thrilled to see how all of his work materialized. I cannot recommend Aaron enough and feel so lucky to have found him!

    Aaron is great ! He goes above and beyond and he's a great educator as well . The first time I went I did a big chop and I was very nervous but I loved it! He killed it ! Every time I get my cut from him I leave feeling great and my curls are back to life .I highly recommend and he's also really nice and professional .

    After!  Curls are back & beautiful!

    I got a haircut and Olaplex treatment from Aaron today, and I seriously couldn't be any happier with my experience. Aaron is clearly knowledgeable & passionate about his work, which is shown through his professionalism & great attention to detail. I have curly hair, and have long felt like I really didn't know how to care for my locks. Aaron was helpful with both product and technique suggestions. I left not only with a great haircut (and a bag full of products), but with enough tips & tricks that I feel 100% more confident in caring for and styling my hair at home. I will definitely be back! I also appreciate his efforts to make clients as comfortable as possible in his outdoor space to accommodate COVID restrictions. Thank you, Aaron!

    I love going to Aaron for my hair. He has made my hair much better. He always listens to what I want and makes sure that I love the result. I'm constantly impressed at his improvements with my hair each time I see him. I highly recommend visiting him. Trust me, you'll love it.

    WOW!! That's the first word that comes to mind after seeing Aaron for my fine medium density hair. Aaron really listens to your goals and develops a tailored plan of care with YOUR comfort in mind. He's so calm, real, and authentic it makes you feel very comfortable. There are so many people out there just going through the motions with curly hair for the money but Aaron Scott Lacy seems to have this intuitive knowledge and passion for curls that really shines. I loved it! Usually I am so nervous for a new stylist because often they make it way too short or use harsh products that don't match your hair, but with Aaron I felt soooo taken care of. He only uses organic high quality products and the scent even with a mask on was luxurious. My parents and friends were so impressed and even the next day it looks even better.

    I can not say enough good things about Aaron! He is talented and artistic, but also extremely precise. I find this to be a rare combination. When I came to him, my hair was a mess. It was tangled all the time and my curls were suffering! When I came to Aaron, he identified the problem immediately!! After working with Aaron, I'm thrilled to report, my curls are on fleek again! He knows what he is doing and can do incredible styles for all hair types and textures. My only regret is that I did not find him sooner!! Oh, in addition to being ridiculously talented (I'm not exaggerating) he's also super nice and fun to spend time with. If your looking for the best hairdresser you will ever find, look no more. I will never go to anyone else!

Since I had box dye in my hair, he informed me it would be an extra $70 for a color correction. After getting price estimates from other salons, this seemed like a decent price for my budget. I did my research and looked over his website, Yelp reviews, etc. and the photos impressed me and led me to believe he would produce the balayage I wanted. I didn't mind the price for everything I was getting. I sent David photos of how I wanted my hair a few months before I scheduled the appointment. I have been saving up money and planning this treatment for five months which is perhaps why I'm so upset about the original results from my first appointment. When I walked in he briefly welcomed me and then immediately asked me what I wanted done. Since I've been planning this treatment for so long I had a Pinterest album of similar balayages (not to mention he already had the photo in our thread). He took one glance and got started which made me nervous but I trusted him as a professional. Throughout the treatment there was no communication regarding color, length cut, or anything like that. We sat in silence for 80% of my 3 hr. appointment. We made small talk and I asked him about after care, what he was putting in my hair, etc. He curled my hair and when I turned around and saw my hair for the first time I noticed it was WAY lighter than I expected, but I did like it. I left the salon happy. But I never curl my hair so when I saw it natural (wavy/straight), I could see how messy and amateur it looked. There were chunks reaching up to my roots and he basically dyed the bottom half of my hair a rainbow of blonde colors. NOT a balayage. I left a short review on the website and he text me shortly after with a long reply. I sent him photos of how my hair looked and the photo I originally sent him of what I wanted. He offered to fix it for free, so I went back in. Before my appointment he text me to confirm and said "Would be great if you could take down your review," but I'm glad I waited until after the second appointment to review him again. This time the communication was better, however now that a day has passed I see that my hair is still not where I want it to be since he bleached the whole bottom half and effectively made it difficult to achieve a balayage with just toner. I do understand that I did tell David I liked my hair in the salon because at that point I was fed up and wouldn't bother to have him fix it since he already comped this appointment and spent his time fixing it. Overall it looks much better now and is healthy after I cut 4 inches off (which I did to get rid of the dead bleached hair), but I am still going to get it fixed by another hair dresser. Not only that but I asked him for long layers in my hair cut but my hair is all one length. At the end of the day, if you go to David, just make sure you are clear about what you want because otherwise from what I can tell in other reviews he is a good hairdresser.

What I experienced at the hands of Steve and his staff was an absolute nightmare that resulted in severe chemical burns, leaving my hair completely fried and feeling like wire. Looking back, I deeply regret ignoring the initial red flags. He spent most of the appointment on his phone while he worked. Because I always try to see the good in people and give them the benefit of the doubt, I stayed in the chair. It completely backfired, and I am deeply disappointed. The lack of professionalism and basic competence from the entire team was shocking. After the first round of bleaching, his assistant rinsed my hair and brought me back to the station. Steve proceeded to aggressively brush my hair. As entire clumps of my hair were actively falling out, he looked at me and falsely claimed, "it's totally normal." He then stated he was going to bleach a remaining dark band of color, but instead, I watched him and his assistants blindly redo the entire strand. I trusted his judgment simply because he is supposed to be the "professional." The mistakes only escalated during the toner application, which was handled by his two assistants. They acted like silent, unengaging robots, completely ignoring me throughout the process. They entirely missed the bottom section of my neck, leaving terrible, uneven splotches throughout my hair. Furthermore, I explicitly instructed them not to put toner on my natural greys. They completely ignored my request, leaving an extremely noticeable, botched patch on the side of my head. When I pointed it out, they casually brushed it off and told me it would "eventually fade." The absolute breaking point was the blowout. Steve and two of his assistants began blow-drying my hair. As the assistants yanked aggressively on my severely compromised strands, smoke literally began rising from my head. Seeing the smoke, the botched toner, the splotches, and the sheer extent of the chemical destruction, I told them to STOP and burst into tears right there in the chair. This is not a professional crew. If Steve could not handle the technical challenge of working on my hair, it would have been perfectly acceptable for him to just say no. The entire experience felt so incredibly deliberate that it almost made me feel as if I had done something to personally offend him or his company. That is the only logical explanation I can think of for why a team of professionals would treat my hair with such complete disregard. He fully acknowledged the severity of the damage by refunding my deposit, waiving the service fee, and even offering to pay for hair extensions. While I recognize he knew he was in the wrong, a refund and extensions do not change the fact that my hair is destroyed. He asked for an opportunity to "fix it," but the trust is entirely gone; there will absolutely not be a second chance. This entire experience was easily one of the worst days of my life. I am an emotional wreck every single time I look in the mirror. My friends and family have looked at his Instagram page and are completely disgusted by what he did to me. Because of their incompetence, I have already been forced to chop my hair off and spend $450 out of pocket on specialized repair products just to salvage what is left. I would not recommend Sax or his salon to my worst enemy. Avoid this establishment at all costs.

During the consultation, she told me that my blonde highlights got darker because of "mineral buildups" in my hair from hard water, and she recommended to do a "CPR treatment" following by applying a toner to bring back the blond color (which highlights got darker and more yellow over time). She said that this treatment plan would make my highlights lighter and blonder again. I made the actual appointment, when the proposed treatment was done. After 30 minutes of sitting under the heat with the treatment applied, she washed out the "CPR treatment" 3 times!!!, scrubbing my scalp and later she told me (when I had the skin reaction) that she used a PH 9 shampoo, which is apparently (I'm reading now about it) harsh, and is disruptive to the hair and scalp. Then, she applied the toner, then a leave-in conditioner, that needed to be washed out due to some skin reaction. When she was working on washing it out, she scrubbed my scalp so viguorusly, that I screamed from pain to stop her doing it so harshly. Later in the afternoon, I started to feel an inflammatory type of severe pain on the back of my scalp. It got worse since yesterday and I don't know what really happened to my scalp, skin, tissue, or nerve, but whatever injury happened, it is extremely painful. Regarding the result of the treatment, nothing that promised was achieved, my hair feels like it got a little darker and making my highlights blonder didn't happen. Kayla told me after drying my hair that she was surprised that her treatment plan didn't work on my hair. What is much worse than not achieving the promised result is the severe pain on the back of my scalp.
