    Fried hair
    Michelle M.

    My hair is burnt and is falling out! I made an appointment with Mona on Saturday for a special event. Mona left sick nobody informed me and Elsabet fit me into her schedule. I thought great!!! Then it ALL went wrong. I am going to write this factual and keep my emotions out. A blowout took 1.5 hours. Most salons do my blowout start to finish in 20 minutes Or less I have long hair but it is thin. First thing that went wrong the stylist round brush was old it kept pulling and tugging and tangling my hair. She had my hair steaming during blow dry and kept mentioning my hair was so soft. Great thanks use the right heat settings. I wanted my hair soft loose beach waves. I showed her a picture of how I normally get my hair styled for reference Round 1 looked like a horrible 80s perm She was unaware that you are supposed to curl the curls facing away from your face ‍ she curled it all around my head in the same direction. Round 2 she round brushed my curls out with a hair dryer Round 3 she used a flat iron to curl my hair. This is when I noticed she burnt my hair it was also stained from her cheap, over used, unclean flat iron. I pointed out the rust stain mark on my hair she said it was like that when I got there At various points she wanted me to do my own hair I am home now washed my hair it still smells burnt and chunks are falling out My hair is permanently damaged I noticed cheap brands of hairdryer, flat iron and curling iron. The flat iron was discolored and burnt my hair and got the orange rust or crusty product singed onto my blonde locks I left in tears My hair is wrecked! I will have to cut a lot off and get treatments. My hair was completely healthy as I air dry and scrunch daily. It is now puffy and looks like yarn. If I could offer you one tip run ‍

    I've had negative experiences here. Once I went for a hair dye, and my hairdresser said she was "upset with me" for getting my hair dyed as I was pregnant and that I shouldn't listen to my physician who cleared me to do so. Two other times I visited and patches of gray were left around my face. I politely asked that I get a touch up for that portion, after warning the hairdresser of this problem in advance the second time. Once they did it without issue, the second time, they warned it would the "last time," that "they are professionals" and said they would charge me extra for their incomplete work. It was a very unprofessional and accusatory interaction, and I won't be coming back.

    Doan is super nice and i enjoyed having her bleach my hair for me. I came in asking for grey…read morehighlights and despite her bleaching my hair 2x it came out more of an ashy brown (which I was fine with). She did a great job on the bleaching and it's not damaged at all. The main gripe I have is that the dye she put on top washed out after one wash with purple shampoo, something that had never happened to me before when I had gotten my hair balayaged elsewhere in the past (nor when I'd gotten it toned every two months). She'd recommended using overtone conditioner--unfortunately, the silver overtone conditioner did nothing except give my hair a green twinge (looks a lot like hay currently.) When I panicked and told Doan about this she was kind and offered me useful advice--clarifying shampoo, which I hadn't thought about--and relayed the brand of dye she used so I wouldn't have an alternative salon use it on me in the future. Sadly, only two weeks after getting my hair done I'm going to have to go somewhere else to get it fixed, hence the three stars. :(

The fact they could make me (25) and my grandma (78) have the best first experiences and have the same thoughts on it is pretty amazing considering her first time there was a year after I had been going. Also who doesn't want to feel like a queen by being greeted with a complimentary iced coffee with alll the flavors! Can't wait for my appointment today!!

I decided that it's finally time to make a review of my experience. My appointment was with Eunice. I had done a ton of research about where to trust my hair now that a former stylist of mine stopped cutting hair for a living. She recommended this salon. After reading all the stylists instagrams I decided on Eunice. I arrived on time and was seated in her chair. She had the worst attitude and demeanor as soon as I sat down. She asked me about my hair routine and I told her I used Keratase hair oil as a finishing product and she scoffed at me and said "you put hair oil on dry hair?" like I was some sort of idiot. "Um, yes, this is common," I thought. But I was so shocked I just smiled. Then we were talking about what kind of cut I wanted and I asked her if she had any suggestions and she literally said "no, that is up to you." This woman was literally charging 125 for haircuts and would not give me any suggestions. I totally regretted making this appointment at that point but I thought it was too late, and didn't want to be rude (I think I was the only one). I ended up getting a cut that was fine, and when she blowdried it she made no effort to style it. Simply dried, no real volume, nothing. The whole experience was 45 minutes start to finish. It was a haircut I probably could have gotten for half the price elsewhere without the horrible attitude. When I went to checkout, it is the only hair stylist EVER that I did not tip. 125 for the cut was already too much (and I've paid more for haircuts). I think she charges more now. Perhaps the other stylists here are better but I have no interest in going back to a salon where this type of behavior is ok (based on my reading of reviews, I am not an isolated case).

The vibes are immaculate--everyone was nice, funny, and welcoming. I came in for my usual gray coverage, and they did a GREAT job with the color. Unfortunately, the haircut was a very different experience. I showed the stylist a reference photo of my usual longer, layered cut. She said she wanted to even out my hair, which sounded completely reasonable, but she removed several inches without confirming how much length I was comfortable losing. I left with a short, rounded, mushroom-shaped bob that looked nothing like the reference and made my face look much rounder than I wanted. I was so mortified that I took a photo outside and sent it to my longtime stylist in Southern California, who replied, "whoa." I'm leaving three stars because the staff and atmosphere were lovely and the color was excellent. But I really hope the salon encourages clearer communication before making a major change in length. In the meantime, I'll be wearing a ponytail until it grows out.
