Bowhead Salon

My name is Jody , I went into salon blue and had Tara look at my hair . I had a month and a half…read moreago gone to the Art of Hair and had their owner do my hair he left my hair yellow . I wanted blonde highlights . $500 later I show up at Salon Blue and I tell her all I need you to do is take the highlights that are yellow and lift them to a nice white icy blonde and then please take this color that I have underneath which was a nice caramelie color and throw some lowlights in there . She put the lowlights underneath the top layer of my hair so in the front of my bangs there is yellow orange green and some blonde in my bangs and then she Roots smudged my bangs which you never ever root smudge a bang . Then on the sides she gave me a blonde money piece down the side of my face and all along the side of my head is just pure kind of a blonde ish but not the icy blonde that I was looking for and then in the back I have blonde and lowlights on the back of my head and on the back of my head only . So nothing matches at all it is all completely multiple different colors the lowlights are only on the back of the crown of my head and she got bleach blobs that fell out of the foils and now I have round quarter size dots on the back of the crown of my head . She was extremely nervous when she was blow drying my hair and when I saw the front in the lighting I was like oh this is okay this is better but after I slept on it and woke up and was curling the back of my hair I noticed all the differences in my hair and that I had no lowlights it was crazy . So I texted her today and asked her to do a correction she said she would only correct the bleach spots and that I would have to pay to come in and fix the rest of it . So I have on the side of my hair where I pull my hair back it's an inch away from my skull where she pulled the foils so it literally looks like my hair has grown for 3 months . Who does that and who doesn't fix their work . On their website that I pulled up it says highlights and or lowlights for $95 she tried to charge me $200 I told her I will give you $150 because she told me those are old prices I said listen I'm going off what is on your website on your vagaro website . So now I'm $650 in and my hair is basically brittle breaking off and looks like crap . I am so frustrated with the integrity of these hairstylist these days I am just blown away I have never had so much issue in my life and I have been bleaching and dying my hair since I was 15 years old

Worked with a stylist couple who trained with some of the best and eventually they retired. Went to another salon which started out well and ended up with an orange hair disaster. Called Wheeler Davis and spoke to the owner. Explained my needs, including a color correction and wanted a fabulous longterm stylist to work with as I was modeling. Discovered he booked me with the 'walk in stylist" so I only booked a consult. During my consult I realized the stylist knew her stuff and wondered why the salon wasn't allowing her to build a client base. Well I discovered why when a few months later over half the staff walked out due to poor working conditions, unhappy clients and along with a dose of snooty vibe. I followed the stylist who did my color correction and have been with her ever since. Heard Lo is interested in the Who's Who and famous people in the surfing world which I understand from a marketing standpoint. Lo darling...I'm in the Hall Of Surfing Fame and would have been happy to refer your salon but was treated like I was happy with Supercuts.

The hair wash scalp massage alone was next level! I joked that I'd come back every week just for that I've wanted to go shorter for a while, but other stylists have talked me out of it. McKenna was so open to the idea and cut it in a way that felt short enough to try something new, but still long enough to grow out easily if I decide to. Don't let the "assistant" title fool you when booking. She's seriously talented. Take a look at her IG and you'll see! The salon itself is gorgeous and super clean. Booking online was easy, which I loved, and there's plenty of parking. I'll definitely be back!

I had highlights done by Lauren at Kate Lane Salon this past Saturday. Before the service, I was…read morevery clear about what I wanted: very natural, sun-kissed, barely-there highlights with soft blending. I specifically told her I did not want anything stripey, chunky, or with any yellow/gold/brassy tones. Unfortunately, the result was the complete opposite of what we discussed. The highlights came out noticeably chunky and stripey, with harsh lines, poor blending, and a distinct brassy yellow tone that makes my hair look damaged and unnatural. I've never had a salon service turn out this poorly before. Lauren herself was kind and professional during the appointment, and I believe she tried her best. However, the final result does not match what was agreed upon, and it has left my previously healthy virgin hair looking compromised. I reached out to Kate Lane management the next business day with photos from multiple angles showing the issues (patchy application, thick streaks, harsh lines, and brassy color). I politely explained that I was too upset to return for a correction and requested a full refund for the highlighting service. They have refused to issue any refund. I'm extremely disappointed in both the quality of the work and the salon's unwillingness to stand behind their service when it clearly did not meet the client's explicit instructions. This experience has cost me time, money, and confidence. I would have still returned to the salon for regular haircuts and to purchase hair products if management had handled this situation differently. I have had my haircut here many times and it was always a nice experience. Unfortunately, I cannot even recommend them for that anymore. Customer service is everything and this situation was not handled fairly or appropriately. I would not recommend Kate Lane Salon for color services, especially highlights. Proceed with caution -- or better yet, go somewhere else.

I shared photos with a few other professional stylists to get their opinion, and they were genuinely mortified by the blend. I also want to mention that I was charged for removal, which I wasn't expecting based on what I was initially told. I've had this service done before by another stylist, and the difference in quality was very clear. The salon itself is clean and the stylist was friendly, which is why I'm leaving 3 stars instead of 1, but I wouldn't return for extensions.
