Mary mentioned that she used to own a salon, and after this experience, I understand why she no longer does. The color is completely off, the highlights are uneven, and the overall result is just terrible. I have thin hair, and the haircut with multiple layers made everything worse-- and throughout the process I was literally being hit in the face with my own wet hair as she cut. It felt chaotic and unprofessional. The result was such a disaster that I had to go to another salon and pay a significant amount to fix it. The hairstylist there was shocked and kept repeating that some people simply should not be doing hair. I spent an entire week tying my hair up just to hide how bad it looked. To make matters worse, the payment experience was incredibly uncomfortable. I paid her immediately via Zelle and even tipped her in cash. Because the transfer wasn't instant (we have different banks), she became upset and made me stay while I called my bank to prove that I had paid. It was humiliating and unnecessary. Afterward, I sent her photos to show how disastrous the result was, and her only response was to tell me to book another appointment. There is no way I would trust her to fix this. I asked for a refund, which I now realize I likely won't receive after seeing other similar reviews. This was an extremely disappointing and stressful experience. I strongly recommend going elsewhere.

Do NOT get intimidated by all the fun hair styles and colors the artists have here. They know what they're doing!! Starting with the last point. I had scheduled an appointment at another salon nearby. When I walked in with my (small ESA) dog, I was immediately told that dogs weren't allowed at the salon. I was shocked and a bit defeated, but on the way home, I decided to check in with Badlands to see if they allow dogs and I'm so glad they do. First off, Jeanelle, the receptionist was completely kind, welcoming, and exactly the right energy that I could hope to encounter after such a disappointing experience. She not only confirmed that they allow dogs, but told me they had a slot available (walk-in on a Saturday) with their Senior Stylist, Aimee, and handed me a glass of wine while I waited. (Great start) I was also so happy to notice the rainbow flag on the door. I was already getting the vibe that everyone is welcome here. I'm already convinced that it was complete serendipity that I got paired with Aimee. She got me right away. You could tell she started out being a bit careful with her recommendations, as we had never met before. But I explained to her that I'm a boss at work and I love a bit of an edge, and asked her what she would do if she could do anything. I loved that recommendation even more. My hair is very thin and it's hard to make it look like it has volume. She recommended some higher layers, a bit more off the ends to nix the damaged hair, less length off the fringe framing my face, and a bit of a Bardot bang. What came out was absolutely perfect. I'm also a makeup artist on the side, and it's a blessing and a curse, but I have ACUTE attention to detail. When I say I had no feedback at the end of the cut, I mean it. And this never happens. One final thought - I may have been one of the people who was a bit intimidated by this place subconsciously at at first, often peering curiously through the windows as I passed on my way home from work, not knowing if I was "cool" enough. But then I remembered when I used to work at the MAC Cosmetics store. People would come in and right away tell me they didn't want the bright makeup I was wearing, and it finally clicked. As a professional, I would never put that makeup on them if they weren't comfortable as much as the artists here wouldn't give me a style I didn't want. I highly recommend coming to this salon if you want a cutting edge look and to feel welcomed. I'm so grateful to live a block from here and I look forward to seeing Aimee soon!
