I do realize that Ashland is not a bustling city but shouldn't someone be here getting services too. After sitting at the shampoo bowl and having water and some kind of cream rubbed into my hair, Maria commences to take to my hair with a comb and starts yanking on my hair. I tried to explain that I recently had my hair molded into a bun with gel and she should not try to comb through it. She laughed at me and continued yanking saying it was tangled. Why didn't I just walk out???????? I know, in the end it will be my fault. I should have left, but I stayed. My hair was wet and I didn't want to drive home with wet hair. Later the owners daughter came in and took over blow drying my hair and the owner flat ironed and wrapped it because it was going to rain. I'm sorry but my experience at this salon starting out was not pleasant at all.

Great Clips - Ashland

Let me start by saying... a few months ago, I came in & got a cut... I walked out thinking it was…read more"eh" but then got home & hated it. Was left w random ass layers that I didn't ask for, and my hair was SOPPING wet when I left. Like it got my damn shirt wet bc of how wet it was. Well I decided to go back in bc it's summer time now & I needed to cut my hair again but this time taking off a couple inches & getting a "long bob" type haircut -- essentially all one length all the way around. I got in the chair w Ms.Sanya, and immediately loved her!! She talked to me abt my hair & we came together to decide how I should do it!! -- communication is key in making sure your hair turns out the way you want & she gets a gold star from me w that!!! So moving on; she sees that I got some random short layers on top that are completely disconnected & need blended, so she tells me & asked if she could blend it! I told her "absolutely! Do what you gotta do, make it cute again!" So she washed, cut, blow dried & straightened my hair to PERFECTION Ms.Sanya showed tf OUT . Bless her heart too bc after she was done blow drying, she was like "I see why you just throw it up when it's long" . My hair is HEAVY. It's thick, it's curly, and there's a LOOOTT of it. It's like a blanket. Ms.Sanya knocked this out the park My hair is EXACTLYYYY how I want it!! It's perfect in every wayyy!!

I don't quite get all the negative review of this location. I've been coming here for about 4…read moreyears and I get a cut roughly monthly to every 1.5 months. There does seem to be a fair amount of turn over. I rarely have the same person twice which is a bit of a bummer. My cuts are fairly straightforward but they do a fine job. Couple of times I've asked for something slightly different and had no issues. I've noticed no one shows you the back of your head anymore so you have to hope it looks good back there. I usually ask for "medium whitewalls" and those could be cut larger in my opinion. Often I ask for them to be taken up further and that's not a big deal. I went there today and some dude waiting didn't like that I checked in online and was going to be taken next. He tried to play the "I'm next" card as if he didn't know there was a list all right in front of us with our names and the stylist politely but firmly told him that he was not next. Again, he tried to press and she rebuffed. Got to admire that spunk to handle it. I was going to step in if she wasn't comfortable handling it. My teenage son got a horrible cut here one time. We flat out believe the stylist did not listen to him and just did what she wanted to do. He won't go back there although I told him you'll likely not see the same person again. I keep going back here. They've always been friendly and get me in and out.

If you want it to sound like a genuinely angry and dissatisfied customer while remaining…read moreprofessional and credible, you could write: I am extremely disappointed with my recent experience at Bamboo Nails. I have been a loyal customer and have visited this salon at least 4-5 times for nail and pedicure services. Just a month ago, I spent nearly $250, including tips, for a pedicure and acrylic nail extension service, and I left satisfied. Unfortunately, my most recent visit was completely unacceptable. I booked an appointment simply to have my gel removed. Despite having an appointment, I was made to wait for over 30 minutes. When I was finally attended to, the technician seemed overwhelmed, distracted, and more focused on everything else happening around him than on the customer sitting in front of him. Multiple times, he used the electric file on my natural nails instead of the gel, causing discomfort and repeatedly apologizing afterward. What frustrated me most was that he kept walking away, talking to other people, and taking his eyes off my hands while working on me. The entire service felt rushed and careless. I couldn't help but feel that because I was only paying for a $20 service, I wasn't considered worth the time or attention given to higher-paying customers. I completely understand that Fridays are busy. However, if the salon is too busy to provide proper service, then appointments should not be accepted. I took the time to travel there, spend my money, and honor my appointment, only to receive a service that felt rushed, inattentive, and frankly worthless. Bamboo Nails has many positive reviews, and I have personally had good experiences there before. That is exactly why this visit was so shocking and disappointing. After this experience, I will seriously think twice before spending another dollar at this salon.

I enjoyed the frozen Pina Colada.

My daughter went there for the first time based on the decent reviews only to spend over $100 on the WORST set of nails I have seen. Absolutely horrible. And she's not confrontational because she's a kid, so she paid them and left. The fact that THIS is the quality of work they are basing their reputation on is disgusting. I texted with the nail salon who said she could come back and they would fix them. They wouldn't tell me who the owner is and they wouldn't say whether THEY thought that was a good job. Only that my kid paid and tipped. What person is going to want to go back after this?! She shouldn't have to take time on her day off, which isn't for another entire week, to go back to the place that did this. They should refund her. I'm tired of people taking advantage. If this technician did this and was proud of their work, they need to go back to school! Shame on the owner for letting someone who doesn't seem to even care work there.
