After years of living as a poor college kid and going to the cheapest salon, I decided I needed to step it up and go to a real professional. I have very long, thick, blonde hair. I went to Michele and she did such a wonderful job of consulting with me on what I wanted as far as cut and color as well as providing suggestions for what would look best with the shape of my face and skin tone. On my first visit, I had Michele cut 8 inches off into a long bob as well as a highlight. Not only did she do a great consultation, but she executed perfectly! I regularly visited Michele for two and half years, and then was relocated to Chicago for work. After the move, I seriously considered driving back to Madison to get my hair done for awhile, but realized that it was not a realistic option. GO HERE! You will love the results. Not only is Michele great and passionate about what she does, she's just an overall amazing person!

My goal was to grow my hair out; now, I have no choice but to cut it into a pixie and start the entire process over from scratch. I went in for a TONE, to NOT touch my roots, and she suggested a trim, so I said sure. A trim is a TRIM, not a cut. I specifically asked Maria for a mushroom tone and for my roots not to be touched. Instead, my roots were dyed and the color turned a brassy gold, exactly what I requested NOT to have. The trim left my hair with chunks missing and uneven so I even had to come in a second time because of that and the color was pure gold. After three attempts in one sitting to fix it, the color is still wrong and the "shag" I'm stuck with is uneven and poorly cut (razored not cut) I appreciate the professional way the refund was handled, but I'm now facing an expensive, long term correction for a look that is the opposite of what I wanted.

I went in wanting a vivid partial, but she convinced me to do some really soft highlights that were super natural just to add a touch of dimension because of life circumstances. During my consultation, she said that was totally doable and suggested some partial baby lights. I let her know that sometimes my communication is a little poor and needed a bit of over explanation; she again said it was totally fine, and she could handle it. This was my first time getting highlights, so I am unfamiliar with the process. Not once did she check in with me about the tone or the shade of the highlights during the appointment.  After getting my hair styled, I had a bright (almost) platinum money piece. I was a bit surprised, but asked if she could just tone it down a bit. She immediately said she wasn't going to be in that weekend; I had no issues with waiting a week. I bought the amazing shampoo she recommended, thanked her, and went on my way. Went in the next week and had the roots blended and the tone brought closer to what I wanted. She dried the front, but it looked the same to me since the lighting in there is front lit and harsh white. It didn't help that the hair behind it was wet, so it was darker, which made the dry pieces look lighter. She told me to be brutally honest at the initial appointment, so I very kindly said I wasn't sure since it looked the same. We agreed that it was the lighting and that I would go home to check. This was after she monologued for 5 minutes about how she's a Malibu Barbie blonde specialist and not someone who does subtle blonde, that maybe I wasn't a highlight person and I should seek someone else (even though I had already complimented her multiple times on the highlights outside my bangs, I just didn't want the money piece). I Ieft after saying thank you and felt awful for voicing my concerns. Once I got home, it looked absolutely fantastic in better lighting. I shot her a text thanking her and apologized for not being able to tell in the salon. If it had been left at that, it would have been fine. I wasn't going back anyway, but I didn't feel compelled to write a review since, in the end, my hair was fine and I was treated fine. In the morning (yesterday), she responded, saying that we wouldn't be a good fit because she is an anxious person (basically telling me not to come back despite me being very patient, kind, and understanding). This was very unprofessional considering she told me to be honest and I was nothing but kind through the whole process. I am very disappointed that she did not turn me away during the consultation or even before the appointment when I made my needs as clear as possible, and she realized she wasn't a fit. I wish she had advertised that she was a "Malibu Barbie Specialist" at that point, or at least recommended me to someone else in the salon. Now I feel very unwelcome because of how she treated me during the adjustment, and the comment made in the DM's. Needless to say, I will not be returning, even to buy a refill of shampoo. :( TLDR:  Went in for a subtle natural highlight. I was told it could be done (with great enthusiasm) and I could be accommodated, just to later go in for an adjustment to be told I should've expected it since she was obviously a "Malibu Barbie Blonde Specialist." *Side note: I don't need a response from anyone; I just wanted to share my experience.*

I couldn't replicate what the stylist had done, so I called (as my stylist said I could) and asked to have my bangs shortened and the hair flicking out over my ears taken off. The receptionist said I needed an appointment (even though the trim to make my haircut better would take under 5 minutes) and she could not get me in on any of the days I had time to go. The receptionist was less than friendly and definitely not accommodating. So, I will go to holiday parties with my shaggy hair and let people know I went to The Loft.
