DID NOT EVEN ATTEMPT TO FIND OUT UNTIL I ASKED MULTIPLE TIMES FOR HER TO ASK HER MANAGER OR CO-WORKER. When I tried to book the 11:30 or 3:45 - 'oops I looked at wrong one, it's all booked today'. Wow. Very poor service and an extremely frustrating 5 minutes of my life that I will never get back. Don't let people who are not building or contributing to your business be the ones who get to leave the first, and in my case, last impression on new potential clients. What a shame.

I made an appointment over 2 weeks ago. I show up and there is only the owner or receptionist at the desk eating food. She acts surprised that someone even came in and when I tell her I'm here for my appointment she says to give her "15 minutes and I'll call you when I am ready". I wasn't happy with this but I waited in my car. I even waited for 25 minutes! No call back, so I just left. And I still haven't heard anything from this place. Do not book a hair appointment here!

I am from out of town and looking to relocate somewhere with a sophisticated and small town vibe…read more Finding doctors and hairstylists etc are on the list of things to do. And I've had experience as a hair model as well as with Aveda from twenty years ago. So I was hopeful that I'd find a salon with a nice staff, that had great techniques and customer service. After spending almost six hours in a chair with Brianna with an outcome that was not exactly what I'd asked for (not blended but color was okay although not quite as light as I wanted). I was still hopeful. Hopefully that she would honor a visit in a week to access how it settled. Hopeful that the receptionist would be consistently respectful. At the end of my appt I was met instead with a passive aggressive lack of communication (gaslighting if you will) experience. Brianna originally wanted to do balayage. She changed her mind and I left my trust in her after being very clear about what I did and did not want. So she chose to do backlights. Which should have created a halo effect instead of a piece look which I was given. The opposite of what I asked for. As I went to lay she kept repeating herself that she had said she did not do balayage. How confusing! Especially when the receptionist starts telling me she heard it too even if I hadn't. Wow! And I was trying to be generous with the compliments when in truth the staff was intimated that I had or have any knowledge about hair. The brand. And so, they chose to allow me experience to be negative. When I paid the receptionist ran off before I could ask for my receipt. When I did she also rolled her eyes when I made a joke about the spelling of my email. This salon experience should be a nice one. All women in there saying they are all girl friends and yet, as a new customer their attitudes were palpable. I spent six hours, and over $300 (Brianna gave me a discount which I did not ask for) my assumption is because she knew most of what I'm writing here and then some. It was an admission of the lack of customer service and service in general. Lip service is not a sustainable business model. So I'd say this salon is not looking for new clients or walk-ins. They are happy serving locals they know for a long time and have no desire to extend professional courtesy to what they consider an outsider. I work hard for my money and I gave them a chance but feel as though I'm walking away empty handed wasting most of my day and money. Service Technique Customer service Overall professionalism All need major improvement. I should feel beautiful and happy instead of like I just got into a fight with my salon. And yes, when I walked out I left the door open. I was quite done being more professional and respectful. And no, I did not leave a tip. The above and all the other micro aggressions that are too much to detail tell obviously why not. If I'm going to pay $300+ I'd rather go back to NY, LA or Aspen and spend more to be treated fairly and without subtle aggression.

On multiple occasions I was asked to be flexible and change my appointment to accommodate their schedule (usually at the last minute including a time I arrived for my appointment and the service provider decided not to show up as it was a powder day), which I did willingly despite my own busy schedule. Then, the one time my daughter was actually at home with a fever and a stomach bug, I was charged for having to change my appointment. This just happened again today when I had to change my blowout (with at least 5 hours' prior notice). I think if I am being asked to be flexible, it should flow in the other direction as well. Very rude.
