I am extremely disappointed with the experience my 12-year-old daughter had at this salon…read more She went in with hair past her shoulders and requested a textured bob that sat just below her chin. She even brought a photo showing exactly what she wanted. Instead, she left with hair cut up to her eyebrows in places, an uneven cut, and a hairstyle that looked nothing like the photo she provided. My daughter was in tears when she left. She is so upset and embarrassed by the result that she does not even want to go back to school. At 12 years old, self-image is incredibly important, and this experience has been devastating for her confidence. Unfortunately, I was unable to attend the appointment myself due to severe allergies that prevent me from being in salons. My husband took her and, not knowing what else to do in the moment, paid $60 for a haircut that was clearly not what was requested. We returned to have it fixed, but there is only so much that can be done when so much hair has already been cut off. While the salon attempted to help, the reality is that you cannot put the hair back once it is gone. The most frustrating part is that my daughter's wishes were not listened to. We provided a clear reference photo and a simple request, yet she left with something completely different. she was completely taken advantage of because she was a kid and my husband wasn't sure what to do or say. It was a horrible experience overall

I just walked out of this place after having sat in the waiting area for around 30 minutes without…read moreanyone serving me. When I walked in, all staff were busy with someone. Two hairdressers were cutting men's hair, and the rest were serving women. There was a man in the waiting area. When a hairdresser was done with one of the men, he paid and left and she called the waiting man. I waited... and waited. A female customer walked in and was immediately greeted by the hairdresser that had just finished with the man. Away they went. I suppose that she had an appointment. Nobody had yet come to see why I was there, or even really acknowledged that I was indeed there. A female customer walked in and someone immediately appeared from the back to ask her is she had an appointment. The customer said yes and gave the name of the hairdresser. The someone disappeared into the back. The woman sat down in a chair. From the moment that I had walked in, the closest hairdresser on the right had been working on a man's cut. She eventually finished with the cut and the man paid and left. She then called for the woman that had just walked in. She didn't even look at me or ask if i had been served. I walked out. Guess whether I will ever return to this establishment? I just checked the website and it does not state that appointments are required. Even if appointments were required, someone could have actually interacted with me and asked why I was there. WTF?

Kaly cut my hair and I am pretty satisfied with the cut, although as with almost all hair dressers when they say 1/2 inch, they'll cut 1 inch. So it was a little shorter than I wanted especially since I am growing out my hair. But the price was great and this place also sells every brand of hair products and professional permanent hair dye for super cheap. I was super impressed by the selection and amazing prices at this place. I didn't get pressured at all to buy anything, but I know I will be going back to purchase my hair and beauty needs here.

My brother in law suggested Lasting Impressions because he has been going there for years. I also had a coworker suggest this hair salon, I took a leap of faith and decided to go ahead and book an appointment. The receptionist was extremely friendly and was able to fit me in for the evening. When I arrived at the salon, I was received with a cordial salute, the receptionist was super nice and she was trying to get to know me better. Since I love talking I just had fun telling her about myself. I was paired with Joe who took the time to examine my hair needs and styled my hair to suit my face shape. I was given a VIP treatment, I cannot say enough about my experience. I still ave to drop by to buy my hair treatment..I can't wait to go back.
