Me: Is that total for two months? Sales rep: No, there's an additional fee for starting. Me: When did you tell me that? Where is that written? Sales rep: I don't know. It's just what they do here. Me: I don't know about "they" but I'm talking to you. And this is not a good business deal. Sales rep: That's what everyone pays. Me: That is a sleight of hand. Please delete my account. Sales rep: I can't do that. The system won't let me. Me: This place is crazy.

Gretchen is a total sweetheart and she makes you feel super comfortable while you're standing naked and getting sprayed with cold liquid! I really appreciated that you are sent pre-tan and post-tan care instructions a day or two before your appointment, this was super useful for a newbie like me! When I arrived, Gretchen was super patient and answered all of my questions and explained everything in detail. She also mixed the perfect tan formula so that it wasn't too dark, since I'm pretty fair to begin with. The whole experience was over before I knew it, and after a day or so, I left with a perfect spray tan that made me look like I actually live in California! The salon itself is super cute and clean, and there's parking out front too. Thank you for taking care of me, Bronzed on Third!

I pull into the parking lot not knowing if it was the right place because there were no signs or anything saying it was Hillcity Skincare. The door was wide open so I walk in and I see no one so I wait for a minute or two and I hear someone in the back room, I peak my head in saying I was here for my appointment. Blaire comes out and says "an appointment for today?" Looking confused and this is the first time I've ever met her and she forgot I had an appointment that I booked not even 4 days prior. She said shockingly "are you sure it's today" I assume she finally remembered. So I go to lay down I'm getting the service done, I've never had one done before and I'm not allergic to hair dye or anything but there was no patch test done just to make sure. After she takes the silicone off my eyelid and starts wiping my eye I feel something very sharp inside my left eye when I tried to open it and my vision was blurry it scared me. So instantly told her it feel like something is in my eye she continues to constantly wipe my eye, it's burning more and more. Then she said "all done" I get up she gives me a bag of brushes for my lashes she held a mirror to my face but she wouldn't let me hold the mirror to see myself, also she was pointing the mirror at my chin and neck so my eyes weren't visible. I walk to my car still not able to see out of my left eye when I get into my car my left eye is BLEEDING!!! She cut the sclera (white part) of my eye and also popped a blood vessel. I start freaking out not knowing what to do so I instantly go to the ER and message Blaire that I'm on the way. There is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY she didn't see that when she was wiping my eye!!!! TW for the pictures attached. She had told me she had done hundreds of these and it had never happened. If she has done hundreds of them why isn't her work posted for the lash lift and tint? But I was trusting her to do a good job also it doesn't even look like my lash's have been tinted at all they are the same exact color as before. I was extremely close to losing my eyesight in my left eye. I would just like to warn everyone who is thinking about going there for a lift and tint. Please be aware.

I was a client at Bloom Studio for 9 months and I never had any problems until I tried to cancel an…read moreappointment back in September. I left a voicemail 3 days before my appointment and received a text letting me know that if I canceled, I'd be charged my full appointment fee (around $500) since it was within two weeks of my appointment. While nothing about a 2-week cancellation policy was posted on personal or business socials or website, I decided to keep the appointment to avoid my card being charged. I got a call from the salon two days later letting me know that Salem (my stylist and also the owner) went into labor and couldn't keep our appointment for the next day, which was completely fine with me because I obviously would never expect her to keep my appointment while she was in labor, and I'd originally wanted to cancel anyway. Another stylist said that either herself or another stylist at the salon (neither of which were fully certified in extensions) could take my appointment for a 25% discount if I wanted. I said I was fine with cancelling and asked for confirmation that I wouldn't be charged a fee given the circumstances. The other stylist said she didn't know and that she'd have to check with Salem. I told her I didn't feel comfortable paying a cancellation fee for an appointment that ultimately, I didn't cancel, but to please not bother Salem while she was in labor, and she responded saying "it's fine, she's still working and answering messages." We even laughed about it because of course she was still working and answering messages while in active labor. The stylist called me back, told me there was no cancellation fee and that all my future appointments were cancelled. I did let the stylist know I thought the 2 week cancellation policy was ridiculous but I was not mean, nasty, rude, demanding, nor disrespectful on the phone with her. I got a DM from Salem not even an hour later basically saying everything the other stylist said to me: That she wouldn't charge me a cancellation fee but that she agreed it was best we part ways ( like stated, I had cancelled all my future appointments during the call earlier since I was moving and had already been speaking with/found a new salon where I would be). The tone of her message was weird, but everything was resolved, so I let it go. Fast forward over 6 months later to this week, and a TikTok from Bloom Studio/Salem popped up on my FYP. It has screenshots of her last message to me and pictures of her in the hospital after giving birth, and a caption saying "sometimes you just have to fire your client and go about your day. It's crazy work to be difficult when your stylist is 9 months pregnant. It's even crazier work to be difficult when she goes into labor 2 weeks early & is rushed to the hospital. GIRL BYE. Don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya." The caption, pictures, and Salem's responses to the comments make it seem like I was upset that she couldn't keep my appointment even though she was in labor, or that I demanded the receptionist reach out to her, which was obviously not the case. I then found that she also posted something similar on Instagram, this time with video of me from one of my previous appointments, which was posted without my knowledge. Both of these were posted within the last 2 weeks, months after all of this happened. I had never posted about any of this on socials or left any reviews until now. It's been disturbing to find out that a salon I went to for months and spent thousands of dollars on extensions would bring up an already resolved situation months after the fact and completely misrepresent what happened. We've had no contact since then and like I said, I never posted anything about this until all of this surfaced. I can only assume it's for increased engagement on her socials. I'd always had good experiences with Salem in the past, so I'm completely blindsided by how she's chosen to handle this. There are similar stories in other reviews that show a pattern of overreaction, dishonesty, and aggression towards clients. Steer clear of this salon if you don't want videos and a fabricated story about you to end up on social media.

I have been seeing Salem for the past several years and cannot recommend her enough. She has taken me through warm brunette, beautiful balayage, and even my most recent copper tones -- and every single time she absolutely nails it. Salem has an incredible eye for color which is something I value, being so heavily involved with color in my personal career. She knows how to create dimension, richness, and tones that feel elevated but still natural. My hair always looks (and feels) healthy and intentional when she is finished with it. Beyond her talent, she is professional, consistent, and truly cares about her clients and team. It has been inspiring to see God move in her life and bless her business as a testament to her honest hustle and work ethic. If you're looking for someone who understands color at a high level, listens to your goals and delivers refined results every time, Salem is the one you should see!

Those 2 weeks included travel and theme park, so there was a LOT of hand washing, and not as much moisturizing as there should've been- the state of my nails is better than expected! My toenails are also still perfect, despite hours in saltwater, digging into sand, and no cuticle oil. I will definitely be returning here, and highly recommend it!
