Dominique is AMAZING!! After walking out of the previous salon that I had planned to get my haircut…read moreat, I hopped onto Yelp and found Rush Hair Studio to not only be open on Mondays, but that they take walk ins. It was about a 17-minute walk from where I was currently at, so I called to check availability before walking over. Dominique answered the phone and told me she was happy to take me in as soon as I arrived. I communicated what I wanted: to cut off at least 15 inches of hair for me to donate then just have her add layers so that my face would be framed nicely. I explained that I have naturally curly/wavy hair and that I don't want my hair shorter than my shoulders when curly. She listened intently and very clearly understood the assignment. I let her know that I didn't really have an "inspiration photo" for what I wanted my hair to look like, but she told me not to worry and I trusted her. Throughout the entire process, she communicated EVERYTHING to me! She knew I was nervous about having short hair again, so I truly appreciated her transparency with what she planned to do while cutting as it made me feel at ease. The outcome is PHENOMENAL! I LOVE my new haircut (and so does my husband)!!! When I left the salon, she had straightened it out and it looked beautiful. The next day I wore it natural and it looked just as amazing! I'm seriously so happy with how it turned out! Dominique is my new hairstylist moving whether she likes it or not! ;)

I made an appointment for 4 pm. I walked in, and proceeded to wait for 20 minutes, and the entire…read moreplace smelled like bleach and hair dye. There were two stylists for 3 people that were getting their hair colored, so I knew there was no way that my appointment to get a haircut would be taking place in an organized way. I had to leave because I was getting such a headache from the fumes, and the frustration of this appointment time, and the disorganization of the stylists. Do not go here if you value your time!

Unfortunately, the purple completely faded from my hair after a single wash. It was a vibrant purple a week ago and now it's a faded ashy purple. I waited 4 days post dye to wash my hair and when it dried I had almost no color left. I know bright colors can fade fast but one week is pretty bad. Not sure if it's the dye they use or what. I was not told any specific things to prolong the color.

My first experience here was phenomenal. They got very close to the platinum blonde I wanted, and I…read moreleft extremely happy. Because of that, I returned for what was supposed to be a simple root touch-up. Before starting the second appointment, I've received compliments from other hair stylists on how healthy my hair was. I've consistently been told my hair is thin but healthy, and I've worked very hard to maintain it. Unfortunately, this visit was the complete opposite experience. I was at the salon for over six hours, significantly longer than my first visit. Multiple stylists were working on and checking my hair throughout the process, and I trusted that everything was going smoothly. No one checked in with me to approve the color before beginning to blow dry. When I finally saw the result, it was far from the platinum blonde I requested. Instead, my hair was left an orange-toned blonde. I had gone in for a root retouch, but they dyed my entire head without discussing that with me first. After I expressed concern about the color, I was suddenly told my hair was "very damaged" and breaking easily -- despite having complimented its health before starting. I was then told I needed a keratin treatment in order to proceed. This was not something I requested or agreed to; I was told it was necessary after the damage had already been done. During the wash, I could physically feel excessive pulling, and when I stood up, I saw a significant amount of my hair had fallen out. It was heartbreaking, especially after taking so much care of my hair. They attempted to adjust the tone, and while it became somewhat more acceptable, I ultimately left just blonde -- not the platinum blonde I originally had and specifically asked for. There was no apology, no acknowledgment of the distress caused, and no adjustment to the bill. I paid full price for a service I was deeply unhappy with. To make matters worse, I later received a voicemail asking me to return and pay for the keratin treatment -- something I never wanted and was told I "needed" after their mistake. Even in that message, there was no apology. My first experience was wonderful, which makes this even more disappointing. Unfortunately, after this visit, I will not be returning

Absolutely the worst salon experience I've ever had…read more Do yourself a favor and do NOT come here for balayage, bleaching, or any type of color service. They make a lot of promises at the consultation, but once they start working on your hair it's clear they don't actually know what they're doing. First of all, they did not even do a test strand, which is the most basic step when you're bleaching someone's hair. Instead, they went straight into it and completely fried and burned my hair. My hair is now damaged because of their negligence. The color I ended up with looked NOTHING like what I asked for. I showed them clear inspiration pictures, and what I got was a completely different color and tone. It honestly looks like something a beginner would do at home, not something you pay salon prices for. To make it even worse, the whole service felt rushed and careless. It felt like they were trying to get me out of the chair as fast as possible instead of actually doing the job properly. And the most ridiculous part? They still expected me to pay the full price after completely ruining my hair. I attached pictures of what I asked for vs. what I got, because it's honestly shocking.

I went in for a color correction and full set of highlights. The results were appalling. The stylists have no clue what they're doing. This is a photo of the highlights done aka zebra stripes. The solution to this? The stylist, Elizabeth just added dye to cover up the highlights. The end result? Darker hair than I had previously. I could have easily bought a box of hair color and dyed my hair if I wanted this. Went to the owner to find some resolution, he was rude, arrogant and dismissive.
