I never had time to wash my own hair until months after my baby shower. It is now that I realize something is not right.

When her previous client was taking longer than anticipated, she texted me to let me know, and I appreciated knowing ahead of time instead of just waiting in the shop.

I arrived at the salon at 8:00 AM for smedium boho knotless braids. Before my appointment, I…read morespecifically requested smedium, but the braider started my hair with medium-sized braids instead. Once we got to the front of my head, I noticed the parts were uneven and much larger than I wanted. When I told the braider I wasn't happy with the size, she immediately grabbed a pair of scissors and cut one of the braids out, cutting approximately three inches off my real hair. At that point, I was even more upset because I had come in for a protective style and ended up losing inches of my own hair. The salon offered me only a $20 discount after cutting my hair, which I did not feel was an appropriate resolution. Another issue was that there were no mirrors available for clients to see the back of their hair during the appointment. Instead, they offered to take a picture and insisted the braids in the photo were the same size as the ones on my head. To have someone try to gaslight me into believing that my reference photo, which is attached, and the parts on my head were the same size is beyond ridiculous. They were clearly not. To make matters worse, the young lady in the pink Lululemon outfit was very rude. She told me, "I don't have time for this," and said the braider had another client waiting, as if my appointment, which started at 8:00 AM, didn't matter. I had been there since 8:00 AM, and instead of taking my concerns seriously, I was made to feel like I was inconveniencing them for speaking up about my hair. Overall, this was a very disappointing experience. Between not receiving the size I requested, the uneven parts, having inches of my hair cut off, the lack of professionalism, and the way my concerns were handled, I would not recommend this salon.

Renee is amazing - I've never been with one stylist this long!…read more Because there's no salon, the price is reasonable, and Renee is very good at what she does. She has been giving my sons great haircuts for over 3 years, even through the terrible-twos of flipping out in the middle of a hair cut. We feel so comfortable with Renee in our house, that when she walks in we don't even bother to apologize for the mess anymore. She has various specials which you can find on her website. I usually get highlights and/or a cut, and then one of the kid's cuts is free. My sons' hair looks great after Renee cuts it and it grows out nicely; the cuts lasts awhile. She's got a gizmo to put on the kitchen sink to wash out grown-ups hair, and she brings a broom to sweep up after the whole cutting process. In our family, we find that the 7 am appointment is best. Renee starts with my hair, and while it sets, she cuts one or both of the kid's hair while they watch Dora for distraction, and my husband and I feed them and get them dressed. Occasionally we put the boys in the bath right after a cut, because with short hairs, it can get on their neck and bother them. It's so nice to be able to do this right after because we are in our home, not a salon. Then she washes my hair and does a blow-out. My husband gets the kids to school, and I get to work - on time - with great hair! I don't think I've been as loyal to a hair stylist as I am to Renee.

I went here using a Gilt City voucher for a single process color and blowout, after deciding I…read morereally needed to get rid of my growing out highlights. I figured single process couldn't be too much to screw up, and this place always looked nice inside so I gave it a shot. Firstly, MOST of the staff was pretty nice. A few of the employees were a little colder, but I was offered coffee or tea, which is always nice, but I suppose now expected at NYC salons. As for my color (dark brown), it came out very nice, and very healthy, as they did a color treatment as well. My blowout was nicely done too. My only complaint is that the colorist did not do a good job avoiding my scalp line when applying color. I had to scrub for at least 20 minutes at home to get color off my forehead. Not cool. Otherwise I was happy with my end result. I might come back here for a quick blowout or something of the sort, but I probably wouldn't come back for any other services, as I'm a pretty loyal Soon Beauty Lab customer.

Everyone is very friendly and treat us like they see us weekly. This trip we were all having blow outs. Laurie did my daughter's hair and asked her what she wanted. My 7 year old was very excited to be involved in the decision making process. Laurie asked if she wanted cute curls or flips. My daughter asked for curls. You could see the excitement as each curl was done. At the end, my daughter's hair looked amazing for our event. My hair was a challenge. Due to some medication, my hair (which was already fine) is rather thin. Laurie worked on making my hair look fuller and I received a lot of compliments. She suggested some ways to make it look a bit fuller for my next hair cut. The salon is very welcoming. They have a cute little table to sit at as you wait for color to be done or just for your appointment. They had fresh bagels (oh how I was excited since good bagels in Florida are non existent!). I noticed the reviews talked about gossiping...ummm hello this is a hair salon! That's what they all do! Have you not seen Steel Magnolia? The only salon I have ever been to that isn't "gossipy" are chains like hair cuttery. Salon V will continue to be my go to salon home away from home.

I have shopped here consistently for the past four years when I come to visit my daughter in this neighborhood and have never found the employees here helpful or friendly. I make sure to do plenty of research on the products I'm interested in prior to going in because they are not helpful at all when it comes to educating the customer on the products nor will they make recommendations. (There is never enough conversation initiated to even get that far. It's not for lack of trying. I have!) Most of the times I have shopped in there, there's not a single customer around, so it's not because they're busy. They just act like it's a complete annoyance to be asked a question about the products. I would just advise customers to have their phones handy and ready to search the products that way rather than asking. You'll get a lot further. I would have spent a heck of a lot more money in there if they were at all interested in their customers. As cute and cool of a store as it is, this is disappointing.
