AZ Summer Stylez at JCals Salon - Medium box braids by Treasure - Hair Stylists Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I have had Treasure do my hair a total of three times: the first was a big chop to get rid of some damaged, tangled hair, the second was my first set of box braids and the third was a dutch braid style that lasted about 2 weeks. I was pleased with these services (although the Dutch braid appointment was pushed back at her request from 10:30 that morning to 1:30 that afternoon...but it was no big deal, I obliged). The issue I have with Treasure is her professionalism...or rather, lack thereof. I'd booked a 4th appointment with Treasure to get box braids before a surgery. I was to go to her house (as I had done the previous time) and I had my hair and everything ready to go. She messages me a few hours prior asking me to wire her $25 for hair products (which is odd for a stylist to ask), but I told her I had my own and could just bring what I had, which she said was fine. Then a few hours later she messages me that she's going to come to my house instead...I had gotten some new furniture in and wasn't really keen on company because I was awaiting a bulk trash pick-up, but I obliged and told her not to mind the mess. My appointment was for 1 p.m., but she arrived at 1:30 p.m...with 2 of her smallest kids that she NEVER asked me about bringing along (WHO does that?! If she had asked, I would've said no. My house is not child-friendly; I have too many antiques and pointy objects about and I have large dogs that I don't know how they'd respond to children because they've never been around them). The first thing I said when I opened the door was that my house isn't kid friendly, which she dismissed and chuckled off; she'd brought them food and drinks as if this was some sort of friendly gathering rather than a professional appointment. She figured that they could play with my 3 dogs (again, I ask, WHO does that?! Who would be comfortable allowing 3 large dogs play with their kids whom, again, they've NEVER MET, essentially unsupervised? God forbid, if anything had happened, it'd be my dogs demonized and possibly euthanized for irresponsible adult behavior), which I was not comfortable with seeing as how I could not supervise the interaction (in the midst of getting my hair braided) and she wouldn't be focused on the interaction either (because she'd be doing my hair). My dogs (whom I'd crated because I didn't want them jumping all over her while she was doing my hair) barked LOUDLY at her kids to the point we couldn't even hear each other and I said this wasn't going to work. She did not offer to do my hair at her house (as originally planned) and said she'd text me to re-schedule (which she did, a few hours later), but I told her this was the only time I had because of my surgery in a few days and other things I had to do. I told her I wanted a refund due to the fact that the reason my hair wasn't done is because of HER bringing HER kids-unexpected and uninvited-to MY home for MY appointment; if not for that, the appointment would have gone through like normal...yet she still refuses to issue a refund (even though I was a good client and tipped WELL for each appointment...but I suppose an immediate, unearned $50 is more favorable than a steady client). Long story short, if you want to take a gamble on a kitchen stylist whose whims you'll have to bend to (but you'll probably be pleased with her work if she does it), book with Treasure. If you want quality work AND a professional experience, go to an actual salon where the stylist won't bilk you out of your deposit, change the venue every other appointment or use your home as a free daycare center. read more

I booked an apt with treasure via text. I asked if she could do two goddess braids she said yes for $45. I then asked if she presses the hair to get it straight before braiding she said yes, she could wash blow dry and press the hair for an extra $20 for a total of $65. I first arrived at this shop at 2:00pm because my appointment was at 2:00pm. After waiting for an hour Treasure instructs me that some other lady would wash my hair. So the lady washes my hair I come back and sit down and wait for another 15 min with wet hair. Treasure finally finishes her client before me and proceeded a to blow dry my hair. After she pulls out a basic Walgreens flat iron and begin to straighten my hair. The whole time I'm wonder when is the pressing comb going to be used. She never used it. After she flat ironed my hair I asked about the pressing around my edges she grabs the flat iron and uses it. Wow how do you not know what a pressing comb is at a black salon. At this point I knew it was going to be a disaster. She begins braiding and loading piles of gel, edge control and foam on my NATURAL hair! Of course my hair started to revert. After she finished she showed me the braids and they were so ugly and sloppy and nappy looking. Something I could have done to my hair without a mirror. I told her I didn't like it and how bad it looked. She seemed to get frustrated. She offered to remove them I said ok. She took out one braid then told me she would still have to charge me for the service. I said well you should have left that in I'm not paying 65 for nothing. So then she says she can re do them she takes them both out and blow drys my hair over which has tons of product in it. Then uses another stylist pressing comb on my edges which have tons of product on them as well. A real stylist knows how this can literally destroy your hair. She begins braiding again loading up on edge control and hair spray again. She finishes and it still looks bad on top of that there is so much white residue in my hair from all the products. I say thanks pay and leave. Worst experience ever. And after listening in to her convo with her friend that stopped by she doesn't even have her license yet! She is still in school! No wonder!!! read more
