I had a very disappointing experience at this salon. I came in with clear inspiration photos for an…read moreimportant event, but the final result looked nothing like what I asked for. The service was so poorly done that I had to completely take my hair down and redo it myself the same day, which was stressful and time-consuming. The salon itself felt disorganized and messy, which didn't inspire confidence. There was only one person working at the time (the stylist) and no other customers present, which made it uncomfortable to raise concerns in the moment. The updo took over an hour and given how far off it was from my inspiration photos and with my event coming up quickly (it was on a Friday, and I had worked in the morning), I didn't want to sit there any longer. I also realized early on the result wouldn't turn out as expected when I asked for an updo and the stylist never used a curling iron (for the updo), despite the inspiration clearly showing defined curls. I would not recommend this salon.

A quick search led me to goldplaited and their male grooming package, which seemed exactly like what I needed. I was looking for something really subtle and natural--just a more polished version of myself--and they nailed it. They took the time to understand the look I was going for and didn't rush the process at all. They also checked in along the way to make sure everything felt right, which I appreciated. Nothing felt overdone, but it made a noticeable difference once I got in front of the camera. I felt a lot more confident going into the shoot, and the photos turned out better than I expected. Super professional, easy to work with, and you can tell they care about getting it right. Really glad I found them.

I'm always nervous about having my makeup done professionally because I often feel like the result…read moremakes me look like a completely different person. I shared that concern beforehand. At first, I thought the makeup looked nice, but once I had more time to look at it, I realized my eyes appeared much smaller and the overall look made me seem older than I am. Before the appointment, they asked me to send a reference photo of the style I wanted. I did, and they upgraded the package I had originally selected. However, it seemed like no one ever looked at the photo, because neither the makeup artist nor the hairstylist mentioned it or asked about it during the appointment. The makeup in my reference photo featured light colors, but the artist immediately started using much darker tones, even though I was already wearing my dress, which was not dark and would have paired better with a lighter look. As for my hair, the back looked beautiful. However, despite showing a picture of the hairstyle I wanted, the front initially looked nothing like the reference and, honestly, looked quite bad. Fortunately, some adjustments were made later, but I was disappointed that my preferences did not seem to be considered from the beginning.

I had my hair highlighted by Nick yesterday, and he did such a fantastic job that I felt compelled…read moreto leave a review. I was looking for full-coverage highlights that would make me as blonde as possible, and that's exactly what I got. For context: I have very long and thick hair. Over the years of getting highlights, I've found that it's hit or miss whether a stylist/salon can give me the full-coverage look I want, since for my hair that takes a lot of time (like 4 or 5 hours) and requires a TON of product. Not every stylist is willing or able to go above the standard number of foils and devote that kind of time, which is totally understandable. But it makes me all the more grateful/impressed when I find a stylist like Nick who is willing to go above and beyond (he spent more than four hours on my hair) to achieve a perfect end result. I was also shocked by how affordable the price was. In my opinion, the quality of Nick's work was on par with some of the most expensive highlights I've ever gotten (and I usually end up paying way above base price since most salons up-charge based on the amount of product your hair requires). But even including tip, the total I paid here was remarkably affordable compared to other salons I've been to. In short, I strongly recommend booking an appointment with Nick if you're someone like me who has very thick hair and wants full-coverage highlights!

I've gone back and forth on whether to write this review, but if it helps spare someone else the…read morestress, here it is: I came into Robert Jeffrey for a PuraLuxe frizz treatment approximately 2.5 weeks before my wedding as my regular salon does not offer this service and I heard good about it. I contacted Robert Jeffrey twice to confirm there would be no adverse effects given the timing. I was told my hair might get slightly lighter, which I was comfortable with, as I regularly get highlights and had a toner appointment scheduled with my usual stylist shortly thereafter. Otherwise, they all raved about the treatment. My appointment itself was fine, but once my hair was dried and straightened, it was immediately clear my hair was SIGNIFICANTLY lighter and was an ugly orange-ish red color - very different from my normal brown. I mentioned this at the salon but was largely dismissed in favor of focusing on how smooth and straight my hair looked. After washing my hair for the first time, it smelled HORRIBLE- absolutely rancid and worse when wet (reddit describes it as dead rats and sewage which honestly is pretty spot on). My now husband was even disgusted by it. The smell didn't fade despite repeated washing. When I contacted the salon, I was told they had never heard of this issue and suggested it could be due to needing extra product for my long hair- which they charged me for... I looked into the odor myself and found it can occur if the product is not fully rinsed prior to drying and straightening. I sent the salon before-and-after photos that clearly showed the color change and was offered a toner. Given my experience at Robert Jeffrey and how close my wedding was, I did not want to go back and instead went to my regular stylist, who followed the PuraLuxe guideline of waiting before performing a clarifying shampoo. She was SHOCKED by my hair. When I eventually spoke with an owner, she seemed bothered and suggested the lightened color was due to the clarifying shampoo (which is ridiculous). I received only a 20% refund, despite spending hundreds of dollars at my regular salon to correct the color and get rid of the smell. Unfortunately, I can't say the product helped my hair at all. It isn't smoother, sleeker, or softer, and at times the front pieces actually feel more brittle. Overall, I am extremely disappointed with the salon, the lack of transparency around potential negative effects, how the situation was handled, and the PuraLuxe product itself.
