    What the salon took and shared - you are unable to see the roots and the sides.

    Unprofessional Management, Poor Results, and Legal Threats from Management After the salon moved my appointment time (I had previously spoken with the owner directly who said she would personally meet with me), I arrived to find I had been switched to a different stylist without any notice. Despite having discussed a potentially complex color goal with the owner, the new stylist was not briefed. During the consult I let her know that I wanted to have my hair blended better as my roots were showing from previous color grow-out a wanted whatever she suggested to help improve it. She suggested partial highlights, which is what she performed; however, I was billed for a balayage, which is a higher price point. When I pointed out that I was overcharged for a service I didn't receive, the salon simply insisted it was a balayage. After spending over $375, I was left with poorly blended hair that did not meet the agreed-upon goals. When I contacted the owner to resolve this, I was met with pushback on my experience. She insisted the hair was "beautiful" and "perfectly blended," dismissing my concerns entirely. She refused a refund and attempted to blame me for the breakdown in communication--despite the fact that she was the one who switched my stylist at the last minute without telling me. After the appointment when I returned home I took a picture of the hair and shared with the salon for reference and was told that that was not how it looked when I had been in the salon. They then sent me the before and after images they took from a completely different angle where you were not able to see the problem area. Most disturbingly, since posting my honest feedback about this experience, the owner has reached out to threaten me with legal action if I do not remove my reviews. I go to professionals for their expertise and expect to be treated with basic respect and honesty. Instead, I was overcharged, ignored, and now intimidated for sharing the truth. I strongly recommend avoiding this establishment.

    Current: shiny, gorgeous blonde color and dimension, no grey, healthy hair.

    I got a very pretty balayage by Crystal. It was exactly what I wanted. The salon is very clean and relaxing too.

    Every hairdresser knows that a woman's hair is her crown and the task of taking care of a woman's…read morecrown should not be taken lightly. My daughter made an appoint with Helene, an African American hair dresser, for a trim, blowout and flat iron. What my daughter walked away with was 4 inches of hair gone and very disappointed with Helene who asked no questions prior to snipping away at my daughter's hair nor any follow through from the owner, Santos, except to say that Jenny would fix it. How do you fix 4 inches of lost hair. My daughter still has not received a response back from the owner nor Jenny who is said to fix this situation. Yes, my daughter's hair will grow back over a long period of time; however, the hairdresser should never have cut her hair without communicating what she was going to do. My daughter requested a trim. This is very disappointing. I will no longer visit this establishment. One bad apple is all it takes. I am not detouring you from visiting this establishment, I am suggesting that you ask questions every step in the process from how much you are actually going to charge me to what do you consider a trim and I want you to show me what you plan to trim. I hope this review saves another woman's crown from vanishing without thought from Helene or any other hairdresser.

    I have been going to Adena for 3 years now. She's always taken care of my hair, from back when I…read morefirst sat in her chair with virgin hair to whenever I wanted to switch up to vibrant colors. She always listens to my wants and turns out incredible colors with my hair. She's also very transparent about the pricing for her services and the quality of her work is reflected in what she charges. I'm impressed everytime! I can't recommend her enough. Pinup studio is also such a welcoming salon. I've gone for updos, haircuts, blow outs, color services, and even tinsel!! Every stylist I've ever had was so kind and professional! They are truly there to make you feel and look your best, and I've never left their salon feeling nothing less than beautiful and hyped up. Included a bunch of pics of my hair over the years! Most done by Adena!

    Brides, DO NOT BOOK THIS SERVICE. PLEASE LISTEN TO THIS…read more This is probably the WORST experience EVER and the most stressful vendor we have dealt with. Not only they made my Mother-in-law's trial look absolutely horrible. The entire trial process is lack of communication. This make up artist didn't communicate about she's about to do or what's going to look like at all during the trial. She just simply does what she knows to do. And surprise you with a result you don't want. The entire experience is just a guessing game. You just sit there and pray that it is not too terrible. And any feedback I give all they did was trying to lower your expectations or gaslight you. The worst thing is that they send an email for "feedback" after the trial and I gave very detailed and feedback and asked questions. 3 days, I followed 2 times and zero responses until I had to text them asking for a response. And this is 1 week before the wedding day. The lack of communication and horrible service does not do the pricing justice. Worse than 1 star review. PLEASE BE CAUTIOUS AND READ THIS BEFORE YOU BOOK.
