It was so relaxing and she was fun to talk with. It was the perfect way to spend my last day of summer before returning to work. Everything was very professional and I cannot recommend her enough!!

​Response to owner's reply:…read more Lauren knew I wanted to book hair/makeup for 5 people. When she learned it was my wedding, I clarified I didn't need bridal services, so I asked for regular rates. She agreed. She provided standard customer service after that, nothing extra. Neither my husband nor friends sided with her. My husband texted her the night before, before seeing our messages and unaware I'd canceled my personal appointment. The next morning, she texted him claiming she canceled all appointments due to my "rudeness." Once he and my friends saw our texts, they were furious on my behalf. Honestly, it says a lot about her character that she's implying my husband and friends sided with her in order to give her "context" extra weight. To clarify: the biggest and most disturbing problem was her refusal to stop explaining herself, despite me repeatedly pleading with her to stop. After she texted me *yet again* at 7am on my wedding day, I lost it. Even after ruining my wedding day, she's still doing it. Case in point, y'all. ------- Lauren was the single biggest mistake of my wedding planning process. What should have been a special, seamless morning turned into a complete nightmare because of her total lack of professional boundaries, refusal to listen to client needs, and relentless insistence on arguing late into the night (AND morning) before my wedding. ​Refusal to Fulfill Requested Service: At 8pm the night before my wedding, I texted her a question, and she revealed for the first time that her salon's shampoo bowl was broken. My mom has curly hair, and I had specifically requested that her curls be diffused. Instead, Lauren offered a blowout (which does not work for curly hair) and refused to adjust the pricing or refund the service she could no longer properly deliver. ​ Disorganization & Ignoring Boundaries: Throughout our exchange, she continually confused my details, referencing services I never requested and people not in my party. When I tried to step away to spend time with out-of-town family before bed, she repeatedly called. When I called her back, she refused to stop re-explaining herself even when I reflected (accurately, according to her) back what she was saying. I told her that we simply disagreed and I understood that I had no recourse. I repeatedly asked for space. ​Crossing the Line: Pushed to absolute exhaustion by her continuous badgering on the eve of my wedding, I finally broke and told her I wouldn't be coming in for my own appointment. Then, she paused, became quiet, and told me I was just stressed out and she hopes to see me in the morning... then *again* tried to explain her reasoning! And then AGAIN on the morning of my wedding!!! I was absolutely flabbergasted. The End Result: She explicitly clarified that she would complete the remaining services in the contract with professionalism. I responded, fed-up with her repeatedly crossing the line, "yeah, of course you will, because you're a goddamn professional!" Without a word, she no-showed on my bridal party. They were all texting and calling me, wondering where she was. ​Because of the distress and chaos caused by her behavior, I spent the morning of my wedding bawling on the kitchen floor. I missed the first 3-4 hours of my wedding day, missed my First Look and bridal portraits, and my husband and I missed the entire cocktail hour with our guests. I arrived at the venue 5 minutes before I walked down the aisle. We got one day. One. A $30,000, once-in-a-lifetime day. If she responds, she'll probably talk about how she gave me a special price, agreed to come in an hour earlier when my day-of coordinator told me I needed to be ready earlier, and agreed to do my mom's hair instead of my sister's makeup (because my sister - and maid-of-honor - broke her hip and couldn't come). The services were the same price. What she won't mention? That at every chance she got, she reminded me of how accommodating she was being and how I'm lucky to have found her. ​While she refunded the cost of the services, a financial refund does not undo the emotional turmoil she caused or give me back the irreplaceable moments she ruined. I don't care how skilled she is or how much experience she has. Do not chance it. It's your wedding day.

Beverages are offered and they use great products. However my second visit was just a few days ago with Sarah. What I asked for I got the complete opposite. She gave me a blow out so my hair looked beautiful leaving but the next day washing it seeing my natural waves and curls and really inspecting the cut. I look a bit chopped. The front was not face framing instead she gave me 4 steps. The front is uneven and choppy as heck. My hair is gone so no way to fix that and wouldn't trust her to fix it tbh so I have to take an expensive loss. I cried all night yesterday just looking at the front pieces. Just embarrassing. I paid a lot and tipped very well just for it to look like an amateur cut my hair. Don't come here. I regret coming here as I looked better with my dead ends. I could've cut my own hair better which I have. This was supposed to be a pick me up to make me feel beautiful now 2 days later I am in regret not feeling like how I should and wanted. Sooooo expensive and terrible results. Also they could've been friendlier. I felt she got tired blow drying my hair. They are supposed to be knowledgeable in long, thick hair, curly hair, wavy hair. I wanted to choose this stylist due to her good reviews but I really cannot recommend her or this salon. I don't like leaving bad reviews but I am distraught. Don't come here as you will cry tears of sadness not joy.

First, the actual price when I went to pay was more than what it said on the website and what it said at the time of the booking. I was surprised that the haircut itself only took about 10 minutes, and I am not sure if the length was checked. Once I washed my hair (a couple of days later) and it was straight again, I noticed that the left side was shorter than the right and reached out to the stylist. The stylist said she would just round out the right side to match the left. I mentioned that I wanted to grow out the left side a bit before having corrections made because I didn't want any more length taken off. She said that that would count as a whole new haircut. Since I just paid for one, I didn't think that "solution" was reasonable at all.

My hair had gotten so tangled that it was matted, I had really long hair that was difficult to manage. I was devastated by the thought of losing all my hair- I felt that mu femininity was wrapped up in having long hair. The empathy of the receptionist and stylist blew me away. They got me in for a consult the next day, showed genuine care and concern that made the awful situation seem less dire. I was reassured that I would not need a Natalie Portman in V for Vendetta haircut. I ended up really, really liking the cute cut they gave me- it made me not mind having short hair! The ladies at Red Chair rescued me from Hair Hell, and I am so grateful to them! Will be coming back for other services!

I booked a double process touch-up with a senior stylist. After I booked, I was reassigned to a…read morestylist with no experience (Haley). I had not known that otherwise I would have rejected the appointment. My hair lifts easily, and Haley noted that. Despite that, she used too strong a developer and damaged my hair beyond belief. Not only that. She missed half of my head with toner. She noticed. And didn't tell me. She let me leave the salon with half of my head not toned. It's very noticeable from the back. I didn't see it at the appointment because she didn't show me the back - and now I know why. That's the worst of it, but she also didn't rinse my hair properly, so I still had product dried up and crusty in my hair. And she barely used any product while she blew out my hair on the highest heat, burning my scalp a couple of times and damaging my hair even more. And it was still a bit wet by the time I left. I'm usually pretty relaxed, so I didn't complain until after I went home and noticed that my head wasn't properly toned (which is also not that hard to do, I've done it myself during covid lockdowns - so it really is incredible that she messed up this bad and didn't say anything, hoping I wouldn't notice). Nothing about my experience with Haley was positive. Her work was incredibly sloppy, negligent, and dishonest. Edited to add (in response to Howie, the owner): You know the issue isn't with the toner itself - I did not see that she didn't do the back otherwise I obviously wouldn't have been "pleased". Again, you know this. I have a photo attached. You see how bad it is. I don't know why you're trying to act like that quality of service is okay. I didn't realize Red Chair's standards were so low, and I regret that I gave you all a shot :/ Also, I have to spend the holidays looking like this. So thanks for that.
