Communication was poor, and when I did hear back, it was just excuses from Amanda instead of real updates. If you're someone who has to arrange childcare, this is especially frustrating. I ended up paying for extra hours I didn't need because of the delay. Most salons have strict cancellation policies for clients, but this salon seems fine canceling or pushing appointments less than an hour before. Overall, the scheduling needs serious improvement. I wouldn't recommend if you value your time.

I…read morerespect that your stylists get paid by commission, but in this case, no commission is deserved outside of the generous tip I left. I deserve to be refunded, period. - This was my first visit to Southern Roots, and while I had high hopes based on the stylist's reviews, my experience unfortunately didn't go as expected. When I left the appointment, my hair had been curled, which can easily mask issues with color or placement. It wasn't until I straightened it two days later that I saw the actual results, and it was clear that the outcome didn't match the inspo photos I shared or the conversation we had beforehand. I reached out right away with photos, and while the stylist responded kindly and offered to fix it, I ultimately decided I wasn't comfortable with another appointment. I was then told the salon doesn't offer refunds, and instead, the owner, who I did not book with would be the one to do the correction. As a first-time client, this doesn't sit well with me. I don't feel comfortable going back, and I don't believe I should have to. I am not asking for anything beyond a fair resolution, and a refund would allow me to go elsewhere and have the issue addressed by someone of my choosing. Out of respect, I won't name the stylist - I don't believe this policy is hers, and I know she's done great work for many others. But I do think the salon's refund policy and how this situation was handled deserve to be shared. I'm including photos (the inspo pictures and my result) so others can make their own judgment. I always prefer to handle these things privately, but I also believe in transparency, especially when your first experience as a client leaves you feeling dismissed.

It's not an over the top friendly place (no hugs or fake conversations) but it's not cold or depressing or uncomfortable. Just the way I like it. I'll be back in two weeks for a bang trim. Thanks !

Title: Disappointed by Complete Lack of Loyalty and Flexibility for Long-Term ClientsI have been a…read morededicated client of the Swansboro Wild Olive Salon location for over three years, making the 45-minute drive to visit every three weeks. I held this establishment in high regard and trusted them completely. Unfortunately, today that relationship was entirely broken.Due to an unforeseen emergency, I was running 14 minutes behind. I called while on my way to give them a heads-up. Despite my years of loyalty, I was rigidly told that because of a 10-minute late policy, I would be turned away because they were slammed for the 4th of July holiday. I even offered to skip my blow-dry to make up for the 4 minutes, but was told my stylist Grace was already overbooked.I was literally moments from pulling into the parking lot, begging to be seen, and was still turned away. Turning away a client who frequents your business every three weeks over a matter of four minutes--especially when a compromise was offered--shows a complete lack of integrity and customer appreciation. It is tasteful business practice to value relationships over rigid booking windows. Because my loyalty was not acknowledged, I have canceled all of my upcoming appointments for the next several months and will not be returning.

I had gone to David's a few times the last time I lived here right before we moved, but I totally…read moreforgot about it when we moved back...until I had a bad experience at another salon and then was ransacking my brain for a new place. I'm glad I finally remembered! There is no receptionist, but you'll be greeted when you walk in by whoever is there. You can tell as you watch the stylists and the clients that pretty much everyone knows everyone and they're all regulars and it feels very warm and inviting. It's just a small place but it's very nicely decorated--not your typical "strip mall" type of hair salon for sure. I always wait until just about the last minute for my appointments (meaning I decide "Oh crap, I'd really like to get my hair cut tomorrow!") and Karla was able to get me in no problem...plus she was super nice and sweet. She was very attentive to what I wanted and had some suggestions. The cut was great and she was able to straighten it just fine (you hear that, stylist at http://www.yelp.com/biz/transformations-salon-jacksonville#hrid:4SMg-Xv4Z6IYWI5SzSPPxw). The only thing that's a little strange is that you pay your stylist directly, and at that moment, Karla didn't take credit cards (I can't vouch for the others). She did mention she had a cell app to take CC payments but it wasn't working at the moment, but promised she would work on it for my next appointment. But to their credit, she did take a check so at least I wasn't worried about trying to drum up some cash. (Though, if I had no form of payment on me, it feels the type of place that would likely have no problem of you coming back later to pay.) I would definitely recommend this place to anyone.
