I'm sure it feels great in the moment...but I bet it won't feel too great when you're shutting your doors. If you're THIS reactive to constructive criticism, that's on you babe. If you think I would have come back after THAT reply, you're crazy. Treating myself, as a customer, regardless of my experience in the industry, politely would have garnered a positive change in my review. After that reply...Good luck hon! Edit to owners second response: my initial review was in no way rude, it was honest and I actually left out details to show kindness to the stylist. It's not her fault, I never even said her name and that was on purpose. No one was "put on blast" (how old are we?) It was simply an accurate description of my experience. Blaming me for the HUGE CHUNCK missing from my hair is funny. Yes I had cut my own bangs, no they were not fixed by the stylist...clearly, look at the picture. Since the owner knew who I was. She also could have called me, she chose instead to argue like a teenager over Yelp. For new potential clients to see. I'd. Be. Mortified. If someone left my salon looking like I did, but more mortified to be THIS petty. This will be my last response. Future clients beware. If you're unhappy, this is how you will be treated. FYI. I didn't end up calling because I read your replies to others who had and shocking ...you were rude to them too. Embarrassing. Good luck!

After years of searching for good stylist, I think I've finally found someone great! This was my first time there and it was amazing! Gray is awesome! She definitely made sure that she knew exactly what I wanted to do before we started. She is very kind and professional. She offered me coffee, tea, etc. as soon as I got there. That was a very nice surprise. The finished product, awesome! It was EXACTLY the color/cut that I had asked for! I will definitely be going back! read more

I've had Gray doing my hair for the past year or so. I have fine, thin and limp hair... and Gray knows just what to do with it. I love my do! I get fantastic compliments quite often. And my husband, who has just the opposite of my kind hair (thick & bristly) gets a great cut from her too. She's a real person, very congenial and just plain real. My husband and I both love her and we are so glad we found her! Highly recommended. read more
