PSA: Be careful who you trust with your hair. I went to Meta Beauty salon on East State street and…read moreseen Derek Louis I spent 9 HOURS in a salon chair and paid $311, only to walk out with a chopped-up haircut and thick, chunky, honey-yellow front pieces -- when I specifically asked for thin, cool-toned money pieces. The result was completely off from what I showed and asked for. What makes this even more disappointing is that I've gotten my hair done by him before -- a haircut that came out beautiful. I even referred a client to him, and she brought her daughters to get their hair done too. So this isn't coming from a place of disrespect at all. Maybe he had a bad day -- I understand we're all human -- but accountability still matters. I messaged him directly to handle this professionally before making any kind of post or reaching out to the salon. Instead of taking responsibility, he told me it only looked different because of the "warm lighting" in the salon -- completely gaslighting me. During the service, he admitted he lightened my hair wrong "like a rookie" and had to redo it. He toned it, rinsed it out too early, and used more product to fix his own mistakes. Now I'm being told I used $88 worth of product -- but how is it fair that I'm being charged for his errors? I also made it clear beforehand that if the service needed to be done in two sessions, that was totally fine with me. He said, "No, I can do it in this session." Don't promise something you can't deliver -- clients trust your word. He offered to fix it, but I no longer feel comfortable sitting in his chair again. Why should I risk more damage and waste more time when I never got what I paid for in the first place? As for a refund -- I was given only $50 back, which is what I paid on card. The rest was in cash. At checkout, I was also told that the tip was already included in the price, so it's not like I was holding back generosity. A reasonable refund is the bare minimum. Clients deserve honesty, quality, and accountability -- not excuses. The pictures speak for themselves.

I absolutely LOVE Envy. I came to the salon looking for someone to do my hair for my wedding as…read morewell as my bridesmaids in 2017. My friend connected me with Laura. Laura takes intentional time the first time you meet to ask you questions, feel your hair, and get a clear idea of what you're looking for. If you're not clear, she is great at helping you find that clarity! She took care of me in ways that I couldn't have imagined for the wedding! From brightening up pieces of my hair so they would stand out in the up-do, to taking care of all of my bridesmaids, and just such a fun atmosphere the day you get married. My hair was honestly my favorite part of the wedding. :) Since then Laura has continued to be absolutely amazing. There have been a handful of times where I just tell her to "get creative...do whatever you want" because I have that much trust in her. I've gotten to know a few of the other hair stylists as they will come and chat for a few minutes between appointments and they're just lovely. I also see Karla for nails and she is outstanding as well! I've also gotten to know the other techs. They're also so so friendly and lovely! I have referred a handful of people here and it's the only place I'll continue to refer to because I have that much trust in these ladies! Also, the music selection is always amazing!
