My horrible shopping experience at Jenny's:
If I could give this beauty supply store a rating below zero, it still wouldn't begin to capture the severity of my experience.
I am not a Texas native and visited your store to exchange hair for the exact same item in a different color. The purchase had been made the evening prior, and while the receipt wasn't immediately available, we were prepared to provide Apple Pay proof of purchase.
At first glance, the store appeared promising--spacious, great music, and a wide selection. Unfortunately, any positive impression was swiftly destroyed by the appalling conduct of your staff.
When I approached the register, I greeted the employee with a warm "hello." I received no response. I tried again, assuming she hadn't heard me. Instead of a basic courtesy, I was met with attitude that was cold, dismissive, and flat-out rude. I informed her I needed to exchange hair, and without any customer care, she gestured me toward the customer service counter.
What followed was nothing short of disgraceful.
There, I encountered Nikki, who approached the situation with the worst attitude I have ever experienced in a retail setting. Without any attempt to listen or assist, she barked, "If you ain't got no receipt, I can't make an exchange." Her tone was aggressive, her demeanor completely unprofessional, and her unwillingness to even try to help was alarming. I asked for a manager, only to be shocked to learn she was the manager.
Let me be very clear: the behavior Nikki displayed was not only unacceptable--it was a complete embarrassment to your brand. She lacked polish, professionalism, and even the most basic customer service skills. She did not listen, she did not offer solutions, and when politely corrected on store policy, she became defensive and threatening, stating, "I'm finna stop with this conversation cause it's gone start being combative."
This is your manager.
Eventually, after persistent advocacy, she handed us a contact card, slammed it on the counter, and stormed off to the back office. We completed our purchase at the front, only to find the receipt in our car minutes later. Upon returning for a refund, we were ignored at the counter. When Nikki emerged again, her demeanor remained combative, unwelcoming, and gruff--matching the poor standards she had already set. She represented your business with the kind of attitude and presentation that would make any customer think twice about ever returning.
My daughter, a licensed hairstylist, will not be returning--and she will be informing her clientele and professional network to do the same. Your store is not only poorly managed--it is a textbook example of what happens when people with no business representing a brand are left unchecked.
You must do better.
Your staff--especially your leadership--needs urgent retraining in professionalism, policy adherence, and basic respect for customers. If this is the tone set by your management, I fear for the long-term reputation of your business.
It was an awful experience, and I will never return. read more
