    Terrible experience! Unsupervised student, a 1 hour treatment took 2 hours. Dismissive manager, don't go at any price!

    Today I visited Paul Mitchell Hair Studio looking forward to a relaxing experience with my sister…read more I requested a wash, deep conditioner, blow dry, and a twist-out. When I sat down, the stylist immediately began spraying my hair with water. I politely asked her not to spray my hair because I had specific preferences for my natural hair. I also asked if she would mind taking down my twists from the bottom up to help minimize frizz and breakage. She agreed, but after watching her remove a few twists, I realized the technique was not what I had requested. At that point, I politely asked if we could end the service because I didn't feel comfortable continuing. The stylist unhooked my drape, and as I handed it back to her, another staff member apparently observed only part of the interaction. I was then asked to go to the front desk. Without anyone asking me what had happened, another employee informed me that my service had been terminated and that I was no longer welcome to return to the salon. I was completely shocked and confused. When I asked what I had done wrong, no one could give me an answer. Instead, I was escorted to the lobby while my sister remained in the salon receiving her service, which made the experience even more embarrassing. Only after I had already been asked to leave did staff finally come over to ask for my version of events. At that point, I learned that an advisor believed I had snatched the drape off. That simply did not happen. The stylist had already removed buttons to the drape herself, and I was handing it back to her. The advisor had been observing from across the room and did not witness the interaction up close, yet a decision was made without speaking to me first. As someone who values healthy hair care, I believe clients should be able to respectfully communicate their preferences and even choose to discontinue a service if they are uncomfortable. That should not result in being embarrassed, escorted out, or banned from returning without an opportunity to explain what actually happened. Unfortunately, because of how this situation was handled, I will never return. I hope Paul Mitchell Hair Studio reviews how misunderstandings are addressed in the future and ensures that all parties are heard before making decisions that affect customers. If you are someone who likes to advocate for your hair care and communicate your preferences, I encourage you to make sure your stylist is receptive to your concerns. Every client deserves to be treated with respect and given the opportunity to be heard.

    Well I figured it was time for an update, especially since it's a newer location. I really enjoyed…read moreit, but it took hours. My friend was working so I came in for a trim and dye. The trim was fine, she brought in a guy from the barber class to work on my undercut. The dye was to be blonde with red highlights. The blonde was fine, but the red didn't take. She said I could come back in for a redo, but she didn't know if they would recharge me. I made an appointment, but it was the that hurricane Helene came through so I'm not even sure if they opened, and I canceled, because I wasn't risking it. As far as a good service at a decent price I highly recommend, but just remember these are students and I don't think there's much of a guarantee. That's not to say they don't care, and I'm certain they will at least try to make it right. Also the new building is nice, I did prefer the old location, but at least there's a huge parking lot.
