    Love this place! The stylists are all great and most of the family goes here now! We've done cut and/or color, always happy!

    I almost didn't write a review because I do plan on going back and wanted to give it a second try…read morebefore passing judgement. All that to say my service was just ok. I went for a mani. The stylist was great. Loved our conversation and my cuticles look great. But their selection of regular polish was minimal and the bottles all looked old. The color I picked out was thick from age. I said I could pick a different color but she said it would be ok. It's not. But I don't put having poor products on the employee. Invest in new polish and I'll make you my regular salon.

    Extremely disappointing customer service and scheduling experience…read more I booked an appointment with Melanie Saldivar a week in advance for Saturday at 1:00 PM, which was the time suggested by the receptionist. I rearranged my entire day, moved other appointments, and adjusted my work schedule specifically for this appointment. The salon called only one hour before my appointment to tell me that Melanie Saldivar would not be available because she was running behind with another client. This was especially frustrating because the salon had called the previous day to confirm my appointment, and I had clearly confirmed that I would be there. After I explained that I had already reorganized my schedule, they offered me a 2:00 PM appointment instead. I arrived a few minutes early and then waited for nearly 30 minutes. I had even skipped lunch to make it there on time. At that point, I decided to leave because there was no clear communication about when I would actually be seen. What disappointed me even more was that after I left, no one called, texted, or checked in to see what happened. As I am writing this review at 3:00 PM, I still have not received any apology, update, or follow-up from the salon. This entire experience showed a complete lack of respect for a customer's time. I planned my day around this appointment, only to deal with a last-minute change, a long wait, and no communication afterward. Professionalism and customer service were completely lacking. Unfortunately, I will not be returning, and I would not recommend this salon to anyone who values their time and expects appointments to be honored and customers to be treated with basic courtesy and respect.

    I was recommended to go to Madison Reed for hair color, since they do not use ammonia in their hair…read morecolor. The first experience was nice. The salon is clean, and does not smell of product. My first colorist was very nice. I liked the color. My only complaint was I had roots showing within a couple of days. I had joined the pro level subscription, which meant I could get my roots done as often as I wanted. This is where it went downhill. When I went to try to get my roots done, I was told there was nothing wrong with them, and it must be the lighting. For a company who says you can come in as many times as you'd like for root touch ups at the pro level, they certainly do not want you to. The tech did my roots. The next day, I dried my hair, and my roots were showing!! I used the powder they sold me, and waited two weeks. I went back for another root touch up. The same thing happened. I washed my hair, with appropriate products, and my roots appeared. Whatever they had been using since my first trip was not permanent. I now had well over a half an inch of roots. We come to today. The tech asked if I used demi-permanent or permanent dye. I said "Permanent dye." I was getting an all over dye color, hoping this would color all of my roots. I was shampooed. I dried my hair, and left. Imagine my shock and dismay when I looked in the mirror and saw my roots!! What products are they using over there? No, it's not the lighting. No, it's not an "ashy" color. I went home and my son noticed right away. My husband noticed when he came home. I am very disappointed. I have cancelled my membership.

    The employees do not to seem to have beauty training. They slap some color on you and then hide in…read morethe back room without checking on you. The color person smelled like cigarettes The price is high and you have to blow dry and style your own hair They also try to upsell you. It is like a corporate experience and hardly a pleasure. Will not be back! I have no reason to respond to mgt. There was no care or concern for the client and I never saw the cigarette smelling color person again. She hid until the shampoo lady called me over and the shampoo lady even had to ring up my bill. These people obviously have no training. People were walking out of the salon with dripping hair. It was awful. Charging $80 is outrageous when you can do the same service at home for $10!
