I went to Blow Bar this past Saturday to get my hair done for my bridal shower as I typically am…read morenot the best at hair and really wanted to ensure my hair looked okay for my shower. I went in for a Dry Style and it was everything I wanted and more. My appointment was at 9am but I got there a few minutes early and they were able to take me right away which I really appreciated. My hair took a total of 25 minutes which blew me away given I do have a lot of hair but it was absolutely beautiful and everything I wanted. I wish I remembered the name of the girl who did my hair as she was awesome - super professional from start to finish and even stopped a few times to get an idea on if I liked the progress and for any feedback, if necessary. Highly recommend Blow Bar if you are looking for a quick blowout or styled hair for a big occasion! Thanks, Blow Bar for such an awesome first experience and cannot wait to come back!

Elle Salon is the type of establishment that makes me wish Yelp had 10 stars instead of 5…read more It amazes me that in 4 years I have not written a review for Elle (most likely because I am too busy staring at my gorgeous hair...) I'm not really sure where to begin because the entire experience is 5 stars from the minute you walk in the door, to the minute you leave...I guess I'll break it down this way.. Overall Staff- Every girl who works at Elle is adorable and so friendly. The best part about being a long term client is witnessing the girls who are just starting their careers progress to be rockstar stylists in such a short time. The mentorship, ongoing training and exemplary role models make you want to support this women owned business. Truly every stylist at Elle is so talented. Don't believe me? Peep their Instagram- totally droolworthy. The front desk staff is also so polite, professional, welcoming and complementary. Decor- No tacky art, loud paint or messy bowls/cords. Elle is simple, elegant, clean and modern. Jillian- My all time favorite stylist in the world and primary reason for this post. I walked in to my appointment with Jillian 4 years ago with bronze/black combo box dye hair and she was honest and forthcoming with me about my "hair journey". She promised I would eventually be blonde if I trusted her. She took all necessary steps to make sure I minimal breakage and was pleased with the results every time! Every time I leave the salon, she gives me EXACTLY what I ask for and I LOVE my hair.. As an added bonus, beyond her hair talents she is just all around awesome on all levels. Honorable mention- I have never had my makeup done by Amanda but I stalk the Elle Instagram stories to watch her makeup tutorials because she is a make up god! Someone needs to wife we up purely so she can do my makeup on my wedding day.. I highly, highly, highly recommend Elle for anyone who is looking for color correction, touch-ups or just badass droolworthy hair.

No one ever even acknowledged me upon my arrival and after 15 minutes, I got up and asked If someone could please let Lex know I was here. 10 more minutes go by & Lex finally comes out . I gave her my name and said I had a appt with her today .. she was a bit abrupt with me with her demeanor from the get go ... I told her I was here for my appt and she said she never got a confirmation . I showed her my text exchange with Victoria (her associate) that stated Victoria confirmed with Lex for today's date /time. She was not apologetic of their error and was not even willing to find another stylist to service me or give me a rescheduled date this weekend that she could take care of me when she was available as I told her I took the afternoon off work today for this appt & was leaving town next week that Victoria was aware about at time I made my appt . She didn't seem to care to rectify the situation and just said she was with a client now. Poor customer service and rude

Tech recommended the most beautiful shade and was very happy with the result! The mani was another story. My nails are natural, and length is uneven. Which I am okay with. I don't do mani's very often but had a wedding. The tech asked if I wanted to keep length on my pinkies (longest length) and I said she cut trim some. Well, she cut down ALL my nails even below the length of the nail bed. Never in my life have my nails been trimmed so short. Like stubs. While a few of the nails were shorter, many of them had length. I didn't realize she had done this until she had finished the first hand, so at that point the damage was done. I didn't want to say anything to offend her at that point, but was upset about the situation. When she finished I told her that my nails were shorter than I wanted and that no other tech had ever cut my nails so short. And was there a reason she that? Her response was that she made her best judgment to cut them that way so they would grow out more evenly. That was not her choice to make. While she spent a lot of time shaping and cleaning my nails, I was very unhappy with the mani service, and don't want anyone else to experience what happened to me.

When I told her I'd take my business elsewhere & never return her response was "sounds good!" To make it worse I was just there 4 days ago with all 3 of my daughters for haircuts!!! So unprofessional if you're down a stylist u reschedule haircuts not updos for weddings!!!! Not to mention the snotty remark to top it off!

I put down a deposit that same day, and we scheduled the installation. When the time came, we spent most of the day together and she made me feel completely comfortable the entire time. She was super informative and took the time to walk me through maintenance routines that would actually work for me. My hair looks long and full, and the way the extensions are distributed, you can hardly feel a thing! I've used clip-ins for years, and if you're looking for a more permanent and less damaging solution, this is absolutely worth the change. I am so in love!
