MY HAIR IS DESTROYED and I was intentionally charged in full for the complimentary service to…read moreremedy it.
Maria, the owner, blatantly lied and took advantage of me and the salons "color specialists" completely destroyed my hair. After receiving my haircolor service I was extremely disappointed with the result & reached out to my hair stylist, Olivia, to voice my concerns and she said it was an easy fix, but it wasn't as her attempt made matters worse. Maria said she just wanted me to be happy and offered a consultation with a senior stylist, Alexa, in addition to providing a complimentary at-home hair care product to help with the damage. I initially requested a refund, but Maria stated that due to the time that had elapsed a refund wasn't optional. To be clear, this timeline was created by the salon as I reached out immediately and my boyfriend's mother had to reach back out to Maria about 5 days after leaving a detailed message with no call back. I went to the consultation with Alexa. After 15 min. Alexa was ready and we discussed and agreed on a plan for a complimentary partial lowlight to add dimension back into my hair. She stated I would need to pay for the highlight portion on my roots because too much time had passed. I scheduled the complimentary lowlight and held off on the root highlight touch up, to allow my damaged hair to grow out. At no point had anyone taken responsibility or apologized. Before I left I mentioned that the owner was going to leave a product for me to help with the damage, so the senior stylist showed me a specific product and explained how beneficial it would be for my hair. She said she'd be right back, then came back with 2 trial size mousse products, that were most likely freebies with their order, and were completely different from what she had recommended. She said she didn't have any of that product in the back to give to me, but I could purchase it if I wanted to. The stylist I was scheduled to see for the complimentary lowlight was pregnant and ended up having her baby. Without my consent or knowledge, I was scheduled to see Olivia, the hair stylist who caused the damage to my hair. I was made aware of this when I called to confirm my date and time and this is when they stated the date/time with Olivia. I expressed my concerns and stated I wasn't comfortable seeing Oliva, so they placed me with a different stylist. After many months had passed (approx 4 months) the appointment finally took place, there was zero sense of urgency on the salon's end to rectify the situation. At my color correction appointment, and before the stylist began, I confirmed if what she was doing on my hair that day was included in the complimentary service that was discussed, to which she replied back with, "yeah yeah". At check out I was charged the full amount for the service plus the product I was buying, so a total of $145. When I questioned the charge and asked for the breakdown the person checking me out yelled over to the stylist who did my hair asking what she did on me, to which she stated, "a partial lowlight". I reminded the person who was checking me out that the service was complementary, then she stated that the amount would be taken off the cost of the product I purchased, the $15 shampoo bringing the charge down to $130. I was so mortified I just paid and left. My hair was left looking the same and was now even more compromised from the incompetent & amateurish "Color Specialists". The shady behavior by the owner is beyond disgusting, unprofessional and completely childish. I am now being seen at a salon with extremely experienced stylists, who were all mortified over my experience and the extensive damage to my hair. Hard lesson learned, but I'm at least in the best hands now and on my hair repair journey.
