Hands down the worst staff I have ever experienced, not to mention Hannah. Extremely rude and disorganized. Not only that, but they try to mask their pricing which is ridiculously high in the first place. I arrived 30 minutes early, and was never greeted. Unprofessional language. On their phones constantly, disregarding clients. There is so much more I could say about this salon. I will be telling everyone how horrible of an experience I had here. I'd recommend cutting your hair at home with pliers then spend a dime here. Nasty! read more

Shear Vintage Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Beaufort, South Carolina

WARNING: If you want to get your hair ruined, look disastrous, and walk out looking like you've been growing your highlights out for a year, THIS IS YOUR PLACE!!! The whole salon, is dirty, unprofessional, and unethical.I booked a consult with Hannah, who supposedly is a blonding specialist...I went in, told her upfront about me being a stylist so there were no surprises, and explained I wanted a heavy highlight, with back to back foils(babylights)just to be a bit brighter. I've been blonde for the last 30yrs. I specifically told her, that I didn't want any lowlights, no haircut, and that my hair pulls really warm, but I always glaze with cooler tones. She said she totally understood and said she was capable of doing so. I felt a bit uneasy, because she just looked so disheveled, but I told myself not to judge based on that. It takes her 2hrs to foil just the back of my head, then abruptly gets up and proceeds to leave without saying a word. I sit for 30 min before A salon assistant comes and tells me she will rinse me without even checking to see if I've lifted enough yet. The assistant proceeds to take the foils out and not rinse anything so the dark color is now bleeding onto my previously lightened blonde hair. Then the manager comes over after another 10 min because the assistant disappeared and now there's no one anywhere in the salon that I could see, and proceeds to rinse me but leaves a bunch of color on my neck that I feel and it's just running down my back. After another few minutes Hannah comes back, tells me she had to go eat. I was appalled....never, EVER, do you leave a client in the middle of a service to go eat. I mention this, and that I'm not rinsed properly and question the dark color. She agrees they left color all over my head and neck but backpedals and says that she did do highlights but took that bowl away and that she did lowlights as well. I told her I specifically told you I wanted NO LOWLIGHTS, but at this point she already had done the back like this so it would look really uneven not to do any in the front. It took her another 2hrs to foil the rest of my hair....I ask her if my blonde is light enough and she says definitely. I ask her to make sure there is no warm undertones and she says she knows. At this point I've been there 5hrs which is absurd...this service shouldn't take more than 2hrs total including a blow dry. I was really late to pickup my kids and I explainedto her that I have to leave and she's literally arguing with me to cut my hair. I explain I have 10 min to please dry my hair as much as possible. She makes me pay first, which I did, and gave her the tip too. I still haven't seen my hair yet, because yet again I'm turned facing the wall. The whole time, she just was burning my scalp and not drying anything. I told her to stop and I got up and look in the mirror and I'm horrified. She didn't do any highlights, just lowlights...that's not even the worst part, the lowlights were only pulled halfway down my hair strand. I immediately tell her that I'm quite unhappy and this isn't what I asked for. I said I really have to go pickup my kids, but I will text you because this needs to be fixed. I text her immediately upon getting home, and provided pictures of my hair after I blow dried it, and she totally disregarded me and told me there's nothing she can do and that they don't offer refunds but she will take my professional opinion into account going forward. She charged me $300 for doing nothing to my hair. I've never had a client walk out looking way worse than what they walked In with, nor would I ever tell a client too bad for you and there's nothing I'm willing to do about it. Even if sue had offered to fix it, I wouldn't ever trust her to touch my hair again. Incompetence is an understatement. I called the salon to speak with the owner, and she had the same nasty ass attitude. She didn't care that her own employee bad mouthed her salon, the mere fact that she ruined someone's hair, her professional reputation, or doing the right thing, having great customer service, none of that. She was short tempered, and hung up the phone....mind you in all the texts between Hannah, and the phone call with Jennifer the owner, I was nothing but pleasant, yet the owner thought it was in her best interest to hang up on me and not willing to resolve anything. In addition, they sneakily redid their website after all this, and it now says they don't offer refunds. I will make sure to tell anyone and everyone who will listen about this place, and the filth all over the walls and floor, in addition to their poor skills as professionals. Take your money elsewhere!!! read more

This was my second visit here; returning a 2nd time for the Marine Corps Ball. The first time was great-- I don't remember the girl who did my makeup and my hair but when I booked with this salon I was hoping to get them again, I did not. It was fine I could work with that. I checked in 15 min before my appt and waited. My time came around to be seen and (2) people that worked there told me they were running behind and to wait to be seen. It wasn't until at least 30 min after my appt time that I was booked for makeup. The girl was nice and personable-- def made me feel at ease however the makeup was way too light and heavy on the eye makeup. All I wanted was highlight and a simple eyeshadow that wasn't too overwhelming. I was a little taken back when she showed me the results. The lashes looked like caterpillars. I tried to stay hopeful. Half way into my makeup the girl who was supposed to do my hair (short and petite with brown hair--Kylee?) came in and immediately said she had to start on my hair (at the same time as my makeup) she began talking about a lady who called about her son and asked her if she did boys haircuts. She was complaining about this for awhile and talking a lot with the girl doing my makeup. I asked her if she could do extensions and she said she could do clip ins. This is where the entire salon experience was horrifying. She kept trying to push the Clips into my head and moving my head forward w some much force i had to push hash. At this point the girl doing my makeup had to say something along the lines of "I think it'll help if you open the clips and then close them each instead of pushing into her head". She ignored her and said the clips were difficult to work with--mind you she's pushing my head over and over forward as the girl who was trying to do my makeup was trying to work. It was ridiculous. The girl finished my makeup and they rushed me over to hair. This is where it gets so unbelievably awkward as the girl doing my hair just became so mute and silent it was so uncomfortable. She then says "oh I'm sorry I'm quiet, being social with clients is not my strong point". At this time I was already running a bit late and needed to get on the road. She finished my hair and didn't give me what I was looking for. I paid for my entire experience and left their salon with one eyebrow. I wanted to cry but it was so awkward and I was running late that I had to just pay and leave. My hair barely lasted at the end of the night because the extensions were sliding down. All that was holding it up were the million Bobby pins. I tipped 20%. I won't be going back nonetheless. And on the Monday after the ball, I had to call them because when I got home from the ball I realized she didn't use all of my extensions and had to call their office to inquire about the missing pieces which were later picked up. I was going to book them for a nice haircut but I won't be going back there. read more

I don't leave bad reviews, but I felt compelled to share my experience with Kylee, super sweet, just needs experience. I asked for a highlight, she showed me toner colors, specifically said hate ash and/or orange. I showed a picture from a year ago. When I was done my hair was ash, all one color. It was darker than when I came in and no depth. They said it's an "easy fix". I was concerned to do anything else as my hair is thin and fragile. They said it would not be damaged. Well, they removed the ash toner, but to my surprise I have now had multiple bleaching processes done. As they are "only" charging me $77 for the service, the owner "gave" me a mask "if my hair feels dry." It is fried, parts are actually broken off around my face. And to make matters worse, it's darker than when I went in. Stay away or get credentials and recommends. read more

I HAVE FOUND MY HAIR GIRL AND I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER!! I know most people are with me when I say, it can be hard to find "your" hairstylist. The stylist you go to because they just know exactly what you want, and you just click. I have tried since moving from my hometown to find the one person who knows how to work with blonde hair. I couldn't be happier with my experience with May. May, if you end up seeing this. You were so amazing you listened to me and gave me EXACTLY what I wanted and I am so so in love. If you are thinking about booking at Shear Vintage, ask for May. You won't be disappointed! read more

I am not one to leave bad reviews, but I feel as if I was wronged and want to warn others. This business has been SCAMMING their clients. False advertising on prices for their services is a crime. I was very kind to Jennifer when asking why I was charged DOUBLE the amount that was stated when booking. As a new mother, I specifically chose this salon because of the price stated. Jennifer proceeded to admit that the prices were incorrect and that she did add on hidden fees without informing me, but that no refund would be given. She blamed the salon even though as a private contractor you should still know what is being advertised under your name. I just want to warn people of the malpractices and misleading information on their website. Especially because there is no consultation beforehand and you pay after your service. It was not a miscommunication, it was false advertising, which is fraudulent. I do not mind paying an honest stated price, but what was listed and booked was not truthful band highly misleading. read more

Shear Vintage Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Beaufort, South Carolina

Be aware that they charge if you use more color than they mix up they charge $10 for every 2 oz they need more of. I had to go back to get my eyebrows tinted again because the color didn't show up. She didn't offer to wax my brows because those weren't done well either. But I'm happy she offered to tint them again. I do love my hair. There are some pieces that didn't take to the blonde, which isn't the stylists fault at all, overall I enjoy my hair! $253 bucks later though, that was crazy expensive! The stylists should tell you up front if they think you will need extra color before upcharging. I didn't ask the prices because they're on the website. Therefore, should it cost more than listed, the customer should be notified. read more

Favorite hair salon! May is incredible she will transform your hair in the best way. The whole staff is super friendly and the atmosphere is perfect. read more

Tabby is amazing and very kind.. she had spent hours correcting my hair after years of me box dying it. I had originally went blonde but realized it wasn't for me. I was able to book an appointment a few weeks later and today within about an hour she was able to transform my hair to a beautiful brown/ ash color. I've learned my lesson and I will never use box dye again. I highly recommend this hair studio and will keep coming back. Thanks! read more

They always style, cut, and color exactly what i asked for. They have comfy chairs, coffee, and great products they sale. Very welcoming and the owner Jen is so sweet. read more

I called one day asking if they had any availability that week. The stylist said if I could get there in the next hour she could fit me in. When I got there we talked and agreed on a balayage. She got started, it seemed like it was goung good until she said it was going to have to be a partial balayage. Not what I wanted but there was no going back since I only had a few minutes left processing and she was rushing. She cut and styled it then showed me the front. She said "If you dont like it, or see something is wrong call me within the week and I'll fix it, or another stylist will." I paid $170 plus tip in cash and some on the card. (Which if you see their prices it should've added up to $135 for the services. So not sure what happened) The following day I called her and told her that I had been told by another a stylist that it was messed up in the back and asked if she could fix it since it did not look like a balayage it looked like she placed a bowl on my head and put color on the ends. I texted her pictures so she could see what I was talking about. She said she didn't have time to do it. So I asked her if I could come in after her last client she said no. So I asked if she could set me up with another stylist she said that it would cost me but I would get 20% off the services.... 20% off of another $170?!?! No thank you. Then she told me there were no stylist available. I called the salon to speak with the owner. She didn't seem to care, was a little dismissive and told me that I was going to have to pay. But that no one was available to do the work. At that point I was overwhelmed and started to cry. Being 6 months pregnant, having my baby shower the following week and having to pay again for possibly another terrible dye job was not what I wanted. I asked for my money back so I could get it fixed elsewhere, she said no. I asked for partial refund she said they don't do refunds. Even though it's not posted anywhere in the salon or website. Some miraculous way she found a stylist and said she wasn't going to charge me. So I showed up the next day terrified of what job this other girl would do. The new stylist sat me in her chair asked me what I needed and seen and agreed with me that it was not done well. That it was not blended right and the color was not brought up properly. She fixed it. She was so nice and sweet. The first stylist and the owner not so much. They walked by me multiple times, made eye contact with me and never said a word. No I'm sorry, no how are you, nothing. Very rude. When I went to leave I realized I didn't have cash to tip her. So I asked if I could tip with a card. Nope not unless I bought something.... so then I buy close to $40 in product and tip the stylist. The stylist said bye and was very helpful and friendly. And again the owner just stood there and not said a word to me. If she would have, I would have came back. This review would a been a 4 star. If the second stylist were to move to a new salon I would definitely go see her. I really wanted to love that salon but since the owner didn't treat me kindly or like a valued customer I will never go back, or recommend it to anyone. read more
