I decided to try out Star Salon since it's close by the house. The staff seem nice. I had…read moremedium-long hair and requested to cut up to chest length with layers and pointed ends. The stylist started off by cutting the length of the hair as if a kid was cutting the Barbie's hair, which was fine to me at first because I assume she would fix it later. Next she sprayed the water and sheared the hair that comes down along both sides of the face near the ears and done. The hair cut took less than 10 minutes. I asked the stylist what happened to the layers? She said oh the hair is too short for layers. I only do layers for long hair. I do front layers for you. Then I asked can you cut the end with pointed end? She said no I do round for you (blunt, uneven, rounded ends). She then grabbed the mirror and show me. At that point, it was a waste of my time to ask or argue. I ended up with blunt rounded end for the back hair and pointed end for the front hair. My fingers can't even slide through the ends because they're too thick and choppy. This salon seems to be okay cutting men or boy's hair, but I would not recommend for long women's haircuts.

When I showed the photos front and back she said she knew what to do.

Never for this salon. No respect.

First off, I wanna say I completely understand the mixed reviews. For a great haircut, go to the…read morelady on the front left or front right. Read on for more details. I have been going here off and on for 7 years. Usually I go to the lady on the front left. She's quick, she's friendly, she knows what she's doing. Tell her what you want and she'll get it done. The lady on the front right is very sweet and will do exactly as you ask, so if you get a bad cut from her, it's your fault. I made the mistake of going to the lady in the middle left for the first time and she didn't ask me specifics and started hacking at my head. She grabbed hair from halfway back to give me bangs. Half of my head was now bangs. I was furious! She kept asking me the same questions over and over and still didn't do what I wanted. I paid her and left but I was very upset. I ended up going back to the salon a couple of hours later and the lady at the front left fixed it as much as she could. She didn't charge me extra. It was better, but I regret ever going to the left middle lady. Never again.

I'm honestly very disappointed with my recent experience at the Manteca Ulta salon. I have been…read moregoing to Shanti since I was around 16 years old, and she has always been someone I trusted with my hair. In the past, she has taken my hair from brown to blonde, so I felt confident going back to her for a blonde balayage. This time, however, I went in specifically wanting a blonde balayage and was left with barely any highlights and not the brighter blonde look I had asked for. I called the next day and asked to speak with a manager because I was unhappy with the result. I was told that adding money pieces would give me the brighter look I wanted. Although money pieces were never something I originally asked for, I trusted the salon's recommendation and returned the following day to have them added. Unfortunately, the money pieces turned orange. At that point, I went back into the salon again hoping they would take responsibility and help resolve the situation. Instead, I was told that I was essentially just looking for "complementary services" and that the most they could do was tone down the orange. I was also told that if I wanted anything else fixed, it would cost another $300, despite the fact that I had already paid $300 for a service that did not give me the result I originally requested. What is especially frustrating is that I never originally wanted money pieces. I only agreed to them because I was told they would help achieve the brighter blonde look I wanted. I trusted the professionals to correct the original result, and unfortunately that correction created another issue. I also asked about receiving even a partial refund because I did not receive the service or result I paid $300 for, but I was told that wasn't an option. Instead, I was told that the money pieces and the subsequent color change were considered "complementary services." From my perspective, these were not services I was simply requesting for free -- they were attempts to correct an outcome that I was already unhappy with after paying for the original service. I have been loyal to Shanti for years, which is why this experience was particularly upsetting. I understand that mistakes can happen with hair, and I wasn't expecting perfection. What I expected was accountability, communication, and a genuine effort to make sure I left feeling happy with my hair. After speaking with multiple people, including management, I unfortunately felt like there was always another excuse for why nothing could be done. It left me feeling as though the priority was protecting the stylist and the salon rather than making sure the customer was satisfied. A salon's job is not only to provide a service, but to make clients feel confident and good when they walk out the door. I don't feel that happened here. More importantly, I don't feel that my loyalty as a longtime client, my concerns, or the way I left feeling were taken seriously. I'm sharing this respectfully because I hope Ulta and this location can use experiences like mine as an opportunity to improve how they handle situations when a client is genuinely unhappy with a service. Customers should feel heard, respected, and cared for -- especially when they have been loyal clients for years. Unfortunately, after this experience, I do not feel that this location demonstrated client loyalty, client respect, or genuine care for how I left the salon. I will not be returning to any of the stylist here. The first picture is what i wanted 2nd is what i went in and 3dd is what i got.
