I want to update my original review because Anna and Leo have been amazing over these past few…read moremonths! After I got my vaccine and was past the mandatory waiting time, I made an appointment with Anna for a haircut. From the beginning, they've been wearing masks and face shields, checking temperatures, and ensuring they can engage in contact tracing if necessary. They also require appointments and keep the door locked between customers to cut down on the number of people in the shop at any given time. I felt very safe coming back. Because it had been over a year since my last cut, my hair was kind of a mess. Anna did an amazing job, getting rid of all my split ends and uneven layers. It felt amazing to finally get a haircut again and have my hair in a manageable state. In April, I broke my leg and it soon became clear that there wouldn't be a way for me to wash my hair at home with our shower setup. I made several appointments to get my hair washed here instead. The prices for a wash were very reasonable so I could get one every few days while my leg was healing. Vicky did an awesome job and Leo was available on the days Vicky was out. It made such a difference for my mental health on the days when I had a fresh wash! Finally, I made an appointment with Leo to fix my color after months of quarantine box dye experiments. My hair was about four different colors and it simply wasn't looking good. Leo did an amazing job of lifting some of the darker color with foils and fixing the top part so everything blended together perfectly. There's no way I could have fixed the color myself and it looks great now. Leo even kept a card with my color blend so we can remember what he did last time. Everyone is always so friendly and professional here. No matter what services I've needed, they've done an excellent job each time. The prices are quite reasonable, especially for the quality outcomes. I highly recommend Anna and Leo!

I write this after a gentle washing and combing, whereupon I am still losing copious hair…read more It's been three weeks since Leo destroyed it. It was meant to be a routine highlight foil touchup of my roots. I don't know what went wrong. What he did differently. Why he was so negligent. But I left, running my fingers through my hair to find that it was coming out in fistfuls. Also, my scalp was burning. Was it the toner? Was the bleach too close to the scalp? On for too long? My guess is that he left the bleach on for too long because he overbooked clients after having to close the shop for so long at the beginning of the pandemic. Maybe they were trying to make up for lost time and money. I don't know. It's not my job to know. It's the job of someone I paid who is supposed to be a professional to know - and to avoid. I was horrified. And that horror has only amplified each time I wash or try to gently brush my hair and more falls out. My already fine and thin hair which was finally growing out and getting thicker is now reduced to a rat tail. And now, I can see bald spots. That day, I left with half the hair I walked in with. Now, I have about a quarter. Maybe less. I try not to make a big deal of it. It seems so vain. But, for women, our hair is a very big deal. Otherwise we wouldn't be bothering to visit the salon at all, pay money to treat it, or read these reviews. I've become extremely depressed over the past few weeks. I don't want to go out with my friends or see anyone. I try to hide how little hair I have with long ribbons which look ridiculous and unflattering. This has destroyed my self-esteem and ruined my confidence. I deliberated for a while about whether to leave a review, knowing that it might have a negative affect on a business for a family who seems otherwise nice and is probably financially hurting after having to close for Covid. However, I also work at a business that is family owned. We too have been left bad reviews many times. And, while we don't like them, it has forced us to change our professional practice so that we don't make the same mistakes again. It has made us better. My hope is that the owners of La Lana salon will do the same and reflect deeply on what it is they did to destroy my hair so that nobody else has to ever go through what I am right now. I decided to leave a review here on yelp because they managed to get my google review taken down I guess to save face and business. Not exactly ethical...

I came in for a blowout with the gentleman who works there, and the experience was extremely…read moredisappointing. To begin, I was not greeted at all. I had to walk up to his station while he was still seated, and he asked what I wanted without any professionalism or courtesy. I explained that I wanted a bouncy blowout. He immediately told me my hair would not be able to achieve that, which I strongly disagree with--as a hairstylist and salon owner myself, I know my hair is capable of it. I chose this service simply to treat myself after receiving a massage nearby. While the massage was wonderful, the hair service itself was not. He did not scrub the nape of my neck, did not properly shampoo my scalp, and only shampooed once. I had mentioned that I did not want conditioner on my scalp, which he forgot. He then asked if he could "just rinse it better," and I had to specifically request to be shampooed again. I should not have had to ask for a proper shampoo. There was no bounce to the blowout, and my hair was still oily and damp when I left. He even mentioned that this was his least favorite service and was complaining the whole time I was in his chair. As a professional, I would never allow a client to leave feeling dissatisfied or like their money was poorly spent--even for a small service like this The following day, I called the manager, Jessica. She offered 50% off if I came back, which I declined because I should not have to pay again for a service I can do myself. I only booked it that day because I was treating myself. When she asked how she could make it right, I stated that while a refund would be acceptable, what I really wanted was a complimentary blowdry. She responded by saying "times are hard" and that I should understand as a hairstylist. I live across the street and attempted to contact her three times. Each time, she asked for my name and then stated she was fully booked--clearly avoiding the situation. I eventually went in person today, and she then stated she would not make it right and claimed she had told me I could only come back that same week. I can confidently say this was never stated. In fact, I have a recording of our conversation, and there was no timeframe mentioned. If there had been, I would have come in immediately the next day. I actually came home immediately and washed my hair and styled it myself since it was still oily/gross and not styled properly. I understand as a regular client having them come back within the week but as someone who already rewashed my hair after the service and as someone who can do there own hair there is no need even that same week. If there is a policy regarding corrections or timeframes, it should be clearly communicated--especially to a first-time client. As a hairstylist, salon owner, and potential client, I will never return and I do hope you choose elsewhere for your services. This entire experience left a very bad impression. There are many salons in the area, but this situation was handled poorly from start to finish. Jessica, I strongly suggest better staff training in basic cosmetology standards and more professionalism in how client concerns are addressed.
