This review is for Sera…read more I completely understand that a stylist's time is valuable, and I know it's frustrating when clients are late. I also understand why my appointment needed to be rescheduled. My issue is not with the policy, it's with how I was treated. I was made to feel like an inconvenience from the moment I walked into the salon. I had a 12:45 p.m. appointment and called before leaving home to let the salon know I was running about 10 minutes late, which is their stated grace period. The receptionist told me she would let Sera know. At 12:56 p.m., when I was literally one minute away from the salon, I received a call saying Sera could no longer see me because I was late, and she had back-to-back clients. While I was disappointed, I understood. I asked if I could still come in briefly to speak with Sera because I wasn't even sure I needed a full highlight service, and the receptionist agreed. When I arrived, Sera immediately told me I needed to reschedule and seemed unwilling to discuss my hair beyond commenting that the back was "really dark" and explaining that she had returning clients scheduled after me. She didn't seem to know or care that I was a returning client. Sera had done my hair in February, and I came back because I had really liked her work. Not recognizing me in and of itself is not a big problem--I know a lot of people sit in her chair--but it made the interaction feel impersonal and left me wondering if she'd even prepared for my appointment. I was fully prepared to work with Sera and the receptionist to find another date and time that fit both of our schedules. Instead, both were unhelpful, dismissive, and rude. This experience was especially difficult because I have pretty severe alopecia areata that, thankfully, is now well controlled with medication, allowing me to grow most of my hair back. That said, I wore a wig for five years after losing most of my hair, so finding a stylist I trust is still an incredibly vulnerable and anxiety-producing experience. Every time I see someone new, I have to explain my hair loss and why I prefer a lived-in color that doesn't require overly frequent trips to the salon. I chose to return to Sera because I thought I had found someone I could continue seeing. Instead, I left feeling embarrassed, dismissed, and genuinely upset. I walked out of the salon, called my husband, and cried like a reprimanded little girl. I am a 35-year-old grown-ass woman. Policies are important, and I respect them. Kindness and professionalism are just as important. Had the situation been handled with empathy and respect, I would have happily rescheduled. Instead, I left feeling less like a person and more like a time slot or a dollar sign. It seems like Sera may have enough clients that turning one away isn't a big deal, but I was respectful, cooperative, and ready to work with her to find another appointment. I deserved that same courtesy and respect in return.

DO NOT bother coming here. Jessica Ramos forgot my color combo and had to re-dye my entire head to…read moremake sure it was going to be one color at my first follow up appointment after initial coloring INSTEAD of touching up my roots- this cost me more because they charge you based on the amount of color the stylist uses. After trying for over 3 weeks to get on her schedule for a 2nd color follow up I finally got an appointment. When I sat down we had a discussion and Jessica asked me if i wanted my roots or whole head dyed. Jessica told me on my FIRST visit I'd only have to get my roots touched up moving forward but she has never dyed only my roots. Everytime she has dyed my entire hair. So I asked her why she keeps doing that because it's not what we discussed initially, she said that she has to do that in order to match the color or she can just try to guess the color my ends were and try to match my roots to the ends. I said ok just do the whole head. She immediately said well I only have time to do the roots. I asked her why she gave me an option if she knew she didn't have time then I just immediately agreed to her doing just the roots even though she was going to guess the color. She stepped away for 15mins after combing out my naturally curly hair with a PADDLE brush. When she returned she said she was uncomfortable doing my hair today because our conversation was too much for her- she did almost ALL of the talking, there were no vulgar or derogatory words exchanged, no one yelled or screamed. We literally had a calm flat conversation. She didn't even brush my hair back into the bun it was in when I came in. I had to put it back up myself even tho I came in curly and she combed out all my curls. I stepped outside and came back inside and asked her when she could do my hair and she told me I need to find someone else. I called the salon and asked for the color she just had to have written down at some pint in my multiple appointments with her so I could find someone else to do it since she refused to do my hair- they put me on hold for 18mins then hung up on me. I called for the salon manager of course they put me on hold and hung up on me AGAIN.

I came in for my usual gray coverage, and they did a GREAT job with the color. Unfortunately, the haircut was a very different experience. I showed the stylist a reference photo of my usual longer, layered cut. She said she wanted to even out my hair, which sounded completely reasonable, but she removed several inches without confirming how much length I was comfortable losing. I left with a short, rounded, mushroom-shaped bob that looked nothing like the reference and made my face look much rounder than I wanted. I was so mortified that I took a photo outside and sent it to my longtime stylist in Southern California, who replied, "whoa." I'm leaving three stars because the staff and atmosphere were lovely and the color was excellent. But I really hope the salon encourages clearer communication before making a major change in length. In the meantime, I'll be wearing a ponytail until it grows out.

I've been to this place twice now and have had Alisa cut my hair. She is the best! I've had issues…read morewith my hair in the past, stemming from numerous chemo rounds and my hair thinning out a lot. Anyway, I had some pictures of what I thought I might like, a mix of pictures of my own hair that I liked in the past, along with pics of random models/actors that had a similar hairstyle, and I showed them to Alisa. I like my hair short-ish. Parted a little to the right and swooped over to the other side. And cute small undercut underneath to take some of the weight out. Alisa nailed it! She's also so sweet and friendly and I feel like I've known her forever for some reason. She's really empathetic to the whole chemo/radiation hurting my hair issue. But she has a really good eye and good suggestions on how to style your hair. I heard she's really good with kids haircuts too, so I will be recommending my little nieces to come see her too. Ask for Alisa. You will not be disappointed!

It's been almost 2 years (September 2023) since my first and only appointment at blackbird. It was…read moreso terrible that TO THIS DAY I think about it whenever I'm drying my hair. I decided that it's finally time to make a review of my experience. My appointment was with Eunice. I had done a ton of research about where to trust my hair now that a former stylist of mine stopped cutting hair for a living. She recommended this salon. After reading all the stylists instagrams I decided on Eunice. I arrived on time and was seated in her chair. She had the worst attitude and demeanor as soon as I sat down. She asked me about my hair routine and I told her I used Keratase hair oil as a finishing product and she scoffed at me and said "you put hair oil on dry hair?" like I was some sort of idiot. "Um, yes, this is common," I thought. But I was so shocked I just smiled. Then we were talking about what kind of cut I wanted and I asked her if she had any suggestions and she literally said "no, that is up to you." This woman was literally charging 125 for haircuts and would not give me any suggestions. I totally regretted making this appointment at that point but I thought it was too late, and didn't want to be rude (I think I was the only one). I ended up getting a cut that was fine, and when she blowdried it she made no effort to style it. Simply dried, no real volume, nothing. The whole experience was 45 minutes start to finish. It was a haircut I probably could have gotten for half the price elsewhere without the horrible attitude. When I went to checkout, it is the only hair stylist EVER that I did not tip. 125 for the cut was already too much (and I've paid more for haircuts). I think she charges more now. Perhaps the other stylists here are better but I have no interest in going back to a salon where this type of behavior is ok (based on my reading of reviews, I am not an isolated case).

Do not recommend this salon for multiple reasons: 1) they…read moreare flat out not competent at color or haircuts (see photos). For those of you who prefer to be styled like a wild tiger (stripes and crooked hair), this place is for you. 2) they push their wannabe ouai (same pronunciation but different product) brand on you to buy for outrageous prices. I need a hair cut, not a Sephora ad in my face. 3) the prices are not commensurate with their skills or products and the customer service is tone deaf e.g., why would I want to let them "fix" my hair when they were the one who created the problem? Unfortunately they refused to give me any refund (aside from the money back they charged me for time not spent) and my chase sapphire credit card was no help to recoup any of the costs. I had to shell out an additional $300 to remedy the unfortunate hair situation they created. Save your money and go somewhere with stylists who know what they're doing.
