Grace has been my hairstylist for almost a decade, and I truly adore her--not just for her…read moreincredible skills, but also for her beautiful heart. She's always been just a 5-minute drive from my place. Today, I decided to follow Grace from Fort Mill to her new salon, Salon 131, in lovely downtown Matthews. (Of course, I had to follow Grace! She's a treasure.) The drive was a quick 30 minutes from Fort Mill, and the salon is nestled right in the heart of downtown Matthews. It's right next to a café and surrounded by restaurants and local shops. I'm already excited to explore the area more when I visit next. The salon itself was welcoming and spacious, with a warm and inviting atmosphere. Today, Grace gave me the works--full highlights and a haircut! I left feeling so cute, lighter, and like I'd turned back the clock ten years. Grace is such a genuine, kind, and down-to-earth person. She really listens and knows exactly what my hair needs. Plus, she cares deeply about me and my family. As a 55-year-old with fine, thinning hair, I'm very picky about hairstylists. I want someone who listens but who also knows the latest styles and trends. With Grace, I get all that and more. She interprets my aesthetic desires with skill and artistry, creating something truly beautiful, current, and elegant.

HUGE MISTAKE. I thought I had found my place - I was so excited by the fun color work on their…read morewebsite and loved the salon atmosphere. The first red flag (that I ignored) was that the stylist refused to provide any kind of estimate for time or cost. I trusted her and the process and now, just returning from my fourth visit and more than a thousand dollars lighter, I wish I had never set foot in Salon Piper Glen. I was very upset after my last visit but because we ran out of time and the stylist was working on another client already, I decided to wait until my next visit to address my concerns. Rather than providing a solution, the stylist had two answers: 1) I was my fault for not speaking up in front of her client or calling the next day and when I mentioned that the lavender color I asked for was not applied to the proper places, or really applied at all... 2) it would've washed out anyway Which is NOT the point. The point was that it was never applied to my hair to begin with. There are so many ways she could've handled things to salvage the relationship or at least so I wasn't furious when I left, but rather than saying "this is what I can do for you today to fix it, would that work?" When I told her my budget she just shrugged and then charged me full price for a haircut and let me walk out the door in tears. At one point, I even said, if I were you, I would've at least offered to tone my hair and reapply some of color I asked for (again, not for free, but within the budget I was willing to spend today). But it just came back to how it was all my fault and how the color would've washed out (had it ever been applied). Reddit told me to go to Bishops. I wish I had listened. I hate confrontation and should've just not returned. Instead I had the most uncomfortable, miserable, depressing hair appointment of my life. BUYER BEWARE!

I left with more gold than I came with. When the manager Bailey called me, she was more interested in defending the salon than working out a solution. I was willing to work with them to fix it, and I believe the girl that did my hair would've been willing to work toward the goal also but Bailey the manager is more interested in winning and being right then coming up with solutions. I do not suggest going for the reason that if things don't go the way you want you have no recourse here. Find another salon.

It's deceptive and I feel taken advantage of. After asking around, I hear others have had this negative experience with secret charges at Brushd.
