Poor transparency and misleading advertising -- save your money!…read more I use Groupon as a way to test out med spas before committing to larger treatment packages, and this experience is exactly why. I booked a laser resurfacing treatment for sunspots, which their website says should use the 532 nm setting and cause the spots to darken and flake off. Instead, the technician used the 1064 nm setting meant for acne and toning -- and there were zero results. I followed their aftercare, waited the full two weeks, and reached out multiple times as instructed. The office manager initially said she would "work together to make things right," but after six weeks of delays and follow-ups, they refused a complimentary session and only offered a paid discount. Groupon also declined to help. Overall, poor transparency and misleading advertising -- I would not recommend this business.

Manal is an artist with a scissors. I have fine, thin, hard to style hair. She cuts it beautifully! I have never received so many compliments about my hair as I have since I started going to Manal. Not only is she an extremely talented stylist, but she is a warm, compassionate person as well. I travel from north of the city for Manal and she is so worth the trip. read more

Manal is extremely talented, and the salon she operates feels very smooth and professional. I always look forward to my appointments--I always feel like I've gotten some quiet, relaxing "me" time in! And their safety protocols are excellent--I feel very safe when I'm there. You can tell everyone who works there cares a LOT about everyone's health and safety. read more

I have been going to Manal for about 15 years. I have followed her until she was able to open her own studio. She matched my hair coloring to hide my gray hairs perfectly. My family never realized that I had it colored. She does a great job recommending seasonal hair products as my hair gets very dry in the Winter. She's great. read more

Manal has been my cutting my hair for 13 years and I can't imagine working with anyone else.

This review is going to be one that is based solely on accountability and moral responsibility of…read morebusiness owners. My son who is 14 years of age is accompanied by his mother in attempt to get his hair dyed - perfectly ok on the surface - behind the scenes as his father I have already informed him and his mother that I did not approve. Without my consent my son is in the chair in the process of having his hair dyed - behind my back essentially - I figure out what is happening in the middle of the service and I call the salon to inform them of my concern. I inform them that this service has not been approved by me and should not continue. The salon owner dismisses my concern and decides not to take the step toward doing the right thing. Legally were they obligated to terminate the service - no - but again as a business owner you have some sort of moral obligation to do what's right. In no situation would I feel compelled to complete a service or sell a product to a minor without full consent from their parents and would be especially adamant about not moving forward if there was any push back from either parent. So Taylor Hair Dezign lacks the moral compass I deem adequate - therefore they are being criticized with a less than positive review. I prefer to do business with people and businesses that lean on the side or right.

I had an appointment with Nadia for a haircut and style, i usually just get it straightened out. I had washed my hair about an hour before my appointment so when she asked me if i needed my hair washed i said no. She proceeded to blow dry my hair and started talking with one of her colleagues. Mid blow drying she just asks me what shampoo i'm using. I told her it's for dandruff and keeps talking to her colleague in third native tongue and this time i noticed they were pointing at my hair and i could see her getting frustrated. When she was done blow drying I asked her why did she asked me about the shampoo and she told me i need to use another shampoo because the dandruff ones hake chemicals and damage the hair. Mind you, while she noticed my hair was not very healthy proceeded to blow dry it without adding any product. The she proceeded to straighten it again without adding any product to protect it. She rushed the straightening and did large strands of hair. When she looked like she was done and asked me if it was good i pointed out at some parts of hair that were not properly straightened but were covered by the top layer hair. She had parted my hair in the middle, I don't do that, and when i said I don't like it like that and tried to part my hair differently she got frustrated with me. And that will be my last time using their services. It's disappointing that she's a hairstylist and she doesn't know how to take care of damaged hair and doesn't know how to make care recommendations ( in all fairness i never asked her what products to use because when she considered she was done with my hair si simply went away and another person took my pay and only came back as i was leaving). I wasn't rude, i even tipped her. When i got home i discovered another part of the hair that wasn't straightened. Oh well, never again!
