Good luck getting a hold of a stylist if you're a potential new client. A friend of mine told met…read moreto check this salon out, as the tattoo artist we both go too had suggested it to her. So, since they don't have a website or number to call, I found their social media accounts. No biggie, I know plenty of places do business this way nowadays. From what I can tell from their posts they do a phenomenal job; experts in fashion colors, friendly stylists, cool
space, etc.
Their Instagram say contact stylist directly to book. No problem. I look through each profile, kind of narrowing down what I'm looking for vs what they each seem to specialize in. I see that one stylist has her books closed so her regulars can come in, one isn't accepting clients right, one is on leave...again, no big deal. They look like a great place, I expected them to be pretty booked and I'm not in hurry to get my hair done, I'm just hoping to get in.
Finally, I've got it narrowed down to one stylist, I've double checked to make sure I don't see anything about closed books/not accepting clients, it all seems to check out, and it looks like they don't use a booking site, just DM or text to book. Perfect, I send the DM and I wait. Don't hear anything for about a week and I think, well, maybe they took some time off, they're super swamped, message got lost, whatever. I'm giving full benefit off the doubt. I decide to give it another go and send a text this time. Now here we are, another week has gone by with radio silence.
Look, I'm not even upset that I can't get an appointment. You don't want my business, fine, but I'd rather you tell me to scram than get nothing at all. It's just frustrating to get no response at all, especially when there's posts on social media everyday, which leads me to believe my messages are just being ignored.
That all being said, I'm not telling you not to go. If you can get an appointment, take it. I'm sure they'll do an amazing job.
