She not only got it right, she did it beautifully. My first experience with her was wonderful from start to finish.

A lot was chopped. Like an inch or two. If it weren't for that, I would have given 5 stars, but this is a pretty big deal that I was told to keep my hair length, it will be $400 and to chop it off it will be about $300 but my hair was chopped and I still managed to pay $400. Another thing is I didn't like the way my ends were trimmed. Yes the color is very nice though. Sam did my hair and he did a really good job. I want to give 5 stars but I also felt misled simply because a good chunk of my length was lost from this and it was not worth the price paid for. It does not sit well with me. The reason I gave 3 stars instead of 4 was because the way my ends were cut were chopped off. They weren't trimmed. They were just chopped off. That'd be okay if I weren't charged $400. $400 charge was to maintain my length, but wasn't. UPDATE: Edited mine to 4 stars because I really do love the color. Sam did an amazing job with my color. Hopefully I can get my ends fixed though! After washing my hair, my color still comes out beautiful. Photo is posted.

They had bleached the roots a different color and had toned it unevenly. I'm so glad MG hair was able to see me after the other salon had ruined my hair and was lucky enough to get a last minute amount. Eric was so careful and diligent. He made sure not to damage my hair since it had already been bleached by the hair stylist from another salon. All my friends are saying my hair looks like a celebrity's after Eric fixed it. I don't think I'll be going to any other salons cause MG Hair gave me such a stellar job. Bonus: they even have snacks while you're waiting!

Danato took his time in explaining the entire process to me before starting the treatment, which included multiple cleansing washes accompanied by steam throughout. He finished the treatment off with a bouncy blowout. I have thick and coarse caucasian/asian hair, and he was incredibly patient and enthusiastic in creating the look that I wanted. The whole experience was relaxing and pleasant from start to finish. Danato was very attentive, polite and detail-oriented. I would highly recommend him for a hair spa treatment or blowout!

Honestly, it's probably two part in what I asked for and booking an apprentice stylist. Wanted long curtain bangs and long layers, cut to just below the collar bone. Got a long bob with, albeit, layers... some of the bangs cut dried and curl into my nose. Again, it's part bad ask and bad haircut. The stylist was working with me and tried to achieve what I was asking for, I just wish there was a bit more conversation about how to achieve what I want. Instead, I was impressed with how the stylist reiterated the hair cut back to me in bullet note like fashion, but it didn't initiate more conversation but instead felt like a: I'm telling you what I'm doing so if you dislike it in the end, it's your fault not mine. Giving 4 stars because I only had the stylist the one time! Don't knock this place until you try it, but this was my experience. I'm posting some reference pics along with my haircut. I hope that this review is taken as helpful criticism about conversing with clients. Wishing all the nest to en salon.

I really appreciated the time and care she took with my hair. This is by far one of my favorite haircuts and highlighting I have ever gotten done. She kept checking in to make sure we were on the same page and she absolutely killed it! She made sure to get my toner perfect even if it took her longer. My husband noticed how rich the dimension looked in my hair and she nailed the cut. I am so happy I found a stylist here since I moved. Thank you so much Rachel

I was given 2 options covering all goals discussed - 1. start off with highlights/lowlights/gloss or 2. Start off with a gloss. I chose starting with a gloss. After the gloss was washed out I noticed grays and asked about it. It was then I was told, "a gloss doesn't cover grays. We'd be lucky to get 30-40% coverage with a gloss." After getting home I now realize the gloss isn't even and pulled reddish. I did leave without a blow dry out of frustration so in all fairness I'm sure they would have adjusted that had I stayed. But also, I figured it would probably be fine since it's a gloss but not the case. The manager did offer for another appointment with the owner or another stylist but I declined and they did not charge me. Just posting to help another person avoid this.
