Beverages are offered and they use great products. However my second visit was just a few days ago with Sarah. What I asked for I got the complete opposite. She gave me a blow out so my hair looked beautiful leaving but the next day washing it seeing my natural waves and curls and really inspecting the cut. I look a bit chopped. The front was not face framing instead she gave me 4 steps. The front is uneven and choppy as heck. My hair is gone so no way to fix that and wouldn't trust her to fix it tbh so I have to take an expensive loss. I cried all night yesterday just looking at the front pieces. Just embarrassing. I paid a lot and tipped very well just for it to look like an amateur cut my hair. Don't come here. I regret coming here as I looked better with my dead ends. I could've cut my own hair better which I have. This was supposed to be a pick me up to make me feel beautiful now 2 days later I am in regret not feeling like how I should and wanted. Sooooo expensive and terrible results. Also they could've been friendlier. I felt she got tired blow drying my hair. They are supposed to be knowledgeable in long, thick hair, curly hair, wavy hair. I wanted to choose this stylist due to her good reviews but I really cannot recommend her or this salon. I don't like leaving bad reviews but I am distraught.

When I asked about it, he told me, "I wish I had more time to flat iron your roots, but I have another client coming up." Instead, a large amount of wax/product was applied to try to flatten my hair. When I brought this up to the receptionist, she told me blowouts don't include hot tools. She also checked Anthony's schedule after I mentioned his comment about another client, and there didn't appear to be anyone immediately after me. For being over $100, I expected the service to be tailored to the look I requested, especially after paying for extra time. Unfortunately, I left disappointed and am now back at my hotel trying to fix my hair myself. What a waste.

Also, the color is a-symmetrical, one side has more blonde, and the other, more red. Turned out so cool!

I didn't have a pleasant experience here. Jane was my stylist, and unfortunately, I was very…read moredisappointed with both the service and the overall experience. To begin with, my hair wash felt extremely rushed. She was done washing my hair in barely two minutes. I could see another stylist washing another client's hair nearby and taking the time to do it properly, but nothing of that sort happened with me. Their haircut service description clearly states, "Every haircut includes a consultation, blow dry and scalp massage." There was definitely no scalp massage for me, not even for a minute. Secondly, I found Jane's tone and body language quite snappy and rude. During the consultation, I initially told her I wanted the first layer of my face-framing cut to come down to my chin. Within the first five minutes of her starting my haircut, I mentioned can i actually have it little more shorter than chin. She told me yes that she could always go shorter later and that she was only doing a brief cut initially. When she started drying my hair, I reminded her again that I wanted it shorter, and she said she would do more cutting after drying. However, when she eventually said she was done, I pointed out that she still hadn't cut it shorter. She then snapped at me and said that I had told her I didn't want it short. At that point, I genuinely wondered if she had been even paying attention to any of the conversations we had after she started my haircut. I had also told her that it was my birthday and that I was getting my hair done for my birthday celebration that evening. I specifically asked if she could add curls at the back while styling it so that my hair would at least stay styled through the evening. Unfortunately, the styling was very poor. The curls didn't even last until I got home and were completely gone within an hour. I also realized afterward that my scalp was still oily, which made me feel that my hair hadn't been washed properly in the first place. By then, it was too late for me to wash and restyle my hair before my birthday party that night, which was extremely disappointing. I regret going there for my birthday. Another irritating part of the experience was her long nails repeatedly scratching my neck and face while she worked on my hair. She did apologised once but it still continued happening throughout the service. Overall, I was really disappointed, especially since I had specifically mentioned that this appointment was for my birthday. I definitely won't be returning to Jane, and based on my experience, I would not recommend her for hair styling services.

I was in for a cut and color which he knew since I scheduled with him personally. I told him OVER and OVER not to put much gold in my hair or it'll turn orange, I thought we had that understood. After applying my color he said he'd be back in 20 minutes to pull it through the ends, he took his iPad and left. It must have been a really intense soccer game, 40 minutes later he came back and pulled the color through left it on about 20 mins and rinsed me out. After coming back to his station he tried to ignore that my roots were bright ORANGE, I said politely "its looking pretty warm and orange" he looked at me confused and said, you think so? Lets dry it and really see, he did and I said "you gave me hot roots". He then said, ok I'll put a toner on you we'll leave it on about 5 minutes, he did and left be by the shampoo area for about 15 mins. After rinsing it out it was all the same color, and he said So anything else? did you want a cut too? UH YA! thats what I was scheduled for and that was my main concern, but I guess with the soccer game he forgot. He kept saying ok so just a trim? maybe a half inch off? My hair was way over grown and I was again trying to explain my concerns to him about it needing shape and style and a good cut so it doesn't just hang there. I am pretty sure he only cut and inch off because here I am 3 weeks later and in desperate need of a hair cut!! I will say he did a great job of blowdrying my hair because when I left my hair looked good, it was shiny and smooth. But basically I paid $175 for orange hot roots, a mediocre haircut and a good blow dry. (could have paid a whole lot less at HairMasters) I don't think I'd return again.

She buckled down and dyed and cut her way through the crowd. Every single woman in that salon walked out with a new 'do that she could be proud of.

The stylist doing my makeup was so nice so I was hesitant to leave a review but I don't recommend Salon Maison if you want to have a modern or glam/sophisticated look. I suggest looking long and hard at the one star reviews. I was left looking like I was going to 90's prom and this is not an exaggeration - overly curled hair and very basic makeup. I felt like I had to micromanage the stylist and she asked few questions when we started about what I wanted. At one point I asked her to fix my eyeliner because it was smudged under my eye, so she fixed it and left another smudge while doing so. Her first attempt looked like it was drawn with crayon. I had sent them Pinterest boards prior and it looked nothing like it. Used really basic curling techniques I felt I could have done myself and many of the hair products were what I consider to be cheap drugstore brands - I was left with stiff, sad-looking hair with frizz. I wanted to cry when I saw it and deeply regretted not having just used my Airwrap and doing my makeup myself. My friend and I had to attempt to fix it ourselves. I think I had the worst hair in the room at my own wedding. Furthermore, shortly after writing a review, I received a cease & remove email from the salon threatening legal action and claiming false statements were made.
