She was extremely unprofessional in the way she booked and was doing my hair with overbooking so many clients at the same time. The client that came in after me was finished before me. After, I looked in the mirror it was nothing like the pictures. I explained it to her that it was not what I had asked for and she said to give it time and if I was not happy then to call in 2 weeks. I followed up on text and received no help whatsoever instead a really unprofessional response and no solution. I provided the screenshots. She basically made it seem like it was my fault and that I was being difficult when I was not. The bare minimum should be taking accountability for the actions done and trying to help an 18 year old. Beyond ridiculous and frustrating.

Unfortunately the haircut I received here was very bad. Cathy cut it haphazardly, not really…read morelooking at if the sections were even and barely brushed before she grabbed sections. It was rushed. I also asked for and paid for a DevaCut for my curly hair but it was nothing like the DevaCuts I have had before were there are several steps in the process (she only cut when it was dry when it's supposed to be touched up when wet and did not style it after wetting it, also sent me home with wet hair when it is supposed to be diffused until dry). The hair cut was between $80-$100 (can't remember exactly because I tipped) and it was not worth the price considering it was not a DevaCut. My hair has been splitting all the way up the shaft since this haircut, splitting so bad in ways my hair has never split before. There were also a couple strands that were randomly two inches longer than the rest of my hair in the back?? Again because she wasn't really looking, taking the time to section or check if she was cutting evenly. I do not recommend this place.

If you're looking for a hair specialist who knows how to treat your curls right, Elena is your gal! I HIGHLY recommend checking out Elena's Beauty Salon for all of your hair care needs.

Generally, everything about the hair cut was just "fine." It's a simple salon - not flashy or…read moreanything like that. I had made an appointment because I was used to making appointments months in advance at my last salon (I moved recently). It does not seem like appointments are necessary. The experience itself was lack luster - I got a wash, cut, and blow dry - which I find pretty standard. I found it odd that she didn't sit me down and take a look at my hair dry or ask me what I really wanted before taking me back, but every stylist is different. The wash was kind of rough, definitely not what I'm used to - which again, may just be a personal preference. The cut was simple - long layers. I told her where I parted my hair because she didn't ask but she told me she'd cut it center because it would look better that way and the part wouldn't matter (gentle foreshadowing - that made the cut look worse). When all was said and done I asked her to blend and soften the layers a little and she did, which I appreciated, but there just wasn't any saving the front - which is what I have to see every time I look in the mirror. The layers in the front on the side I part my hair to are short and harsh and just do not fall nicely. When it came to pay - cash only. Which, thank god I brought cash (maybe I missed something). The cut was $45 but the wash and blow dry was another 30. at that price point I would have been better off going to a Boujie salon for a much better experience and a little more money. Unfortunately I just don't think this is the salon for me. I'm so glad other people have such a great experience, but If you're looking for more relaxing salon vibes with the type of stylist to take the time to talk about what you like, I would not recommend coming here. In short id say this is Super Cut Quality with Fancy Salon Prices - just not worth it unfortunately.
