    Inspo

    Did not enjoy my visits at all. I was specific and clear about the work I wanted done, and I had plenty of inspo photos of myself. The first red flag was that my stylist said she could not tell what I wanted, even with multiple clear photos of my previous hair from front and side views. After speaking, I thought we had the same outlook on my hair. She said that there would be some dimension within my highlights; to her, this meant leaving an uneven shadow root without telling me that was what she was doing. In my pre-visit form, I said I would like little to no roots, and I reiterated that while I was in her chair. The stylist made some passive-aggressive comments about my regrowth halfway through the appointment. If she did not want to do the work, she should have said so. When she rinsed out my hair, I could tell that I had long roots and that it was not as blonde as I wanted it to be. The bleach was not left on my hair long enough, so it was still brassy even after toner. I came back for a retouch, and the entire appointment was uncomfortable. I had to go back and forth with the stylist to get her to do some of what I wanted the first time, and she spoke to me condescendingly. I still did not get everything I wanted because she refused. I was the only client in the salon, and my stylist was talking badly about me to the other three stylists who were there. It was not just one bad comment--she spoke poorly about me in the front of the salon, in the back of the salon, and outside with the door open. I went to a blonde specialist and was very disappointed with what I left with. The service I asked for was a full highlight with a money piece. I am not going back...

    Hair extensions

    I can't express enough how thrilled I am with my new extensions and hair color! My hairstylist (Morgan) truly worked magic, perfectly matching the extensions to my hair and giving me the most gorgeous shade of brown. The extensions look so natural, and the color is exactly what I wanted. I've never felt more confident and beautiful. If you're looking for a hairstylist who is skilled and a true artist, Morgan is PERFECT!!! The service I received from her as-well was top tier there was never a dull moment with her. The vibe was amazing!

    Screenshot of the email I sent 2/2

    I really wanted to enjoy this place, but my experience has been awful. I've reached out to the company to give them the opportunity to acknowledge this, at the very least, all for nothing. It's been 5 days with no response, so I think a 1 star review is deserved. My experience can be explained in the screenshots I'll attach, which include the email I sent, the photos I sent of the before and after, as well as the reference I brought me with to explain the VERY easy haircut I wanted. I paid full price, when my stylist knew very well I was not happy, and I walked out with an unfinished haircut that took over an hour! Absolutely crazy

    I was recommended Thanh, a male barber at this salon, by my cousin who's been a loyal customer of…read morehis for YEARS! She texted him personally to make a Saturday afternoon appointment for me and sent pictures of the wolf-cut I desired. I arrived on time for my 2pm appointment and was greeted by Thanh and seated immediately. I showed him the pictures again. Then he asked me if I wanted to shampoo my hair, which I agreed to. Then we got straight to work. At the end of my cut, he made sure I liked the result, to which I asked for my bangs a bit shorted and he readily obliged. I paid $45 (excluding an additional tip) in cash, but I didn't inquire further if they also accept card or if there's an additional fee for paying by card. I looked around the salon for a menu of costs of services, which he said there wasn't one. No problem, I plan on coming back for haircuts only anyway which I know are $45! Otherwise, I'll text him personally asking for other services if I want them! All in all, I was in and out the door at 2:00 and 2:30 respectively, literally (I looked at the clock). I was so happy with my haircut, especially for the price AND quick in/out time. Thank you Thanh for your amazing work!!!

    Honestly very disappointed in my haircut. I was initially enticed by the $45 price but it felt…read moreextremely rushed, mediocre, and hardly like the inspo photos I showed the stylist. I would rather go a salon that actually cares about their customer service and attention to detail at a higher cost - you're getting what you pay for, if not less. Firstly, my stylist was on her phone for a full 4 minutes in the middle of my 18-minute (fast? or rushed?) haircut without explanation; I would be more understanding if I were given a heads up about a personal emergency or something, but to simply step away from your client and text nonstop at the front desk without saying anything, is unacceptable. Secondly, I've never been to a salon where my hair was not washed prior to it being cut; until I came here. My hair was not even styled at the end (see photo of when I got home right after my appointment). Thirdly, it's the bare minimum to ask your customer if they like their haircut, or smile at the end. When I was paying at the front desk kiosk, my stylist went straight back to texting with the click clack of her fake nails on the phone screen. I stood at the desk for a good minute or so after payment was completed before she looked up, and quickly said "bye thank you". There were no other customers in the store except for the nail artist and her client in the shared salon space. I would NOT recommend this salon to any of my friends and advise you to get your haircut elsewhere if you care about professional service and a good haircut.

I have been to countless tried and failed "blonde specialists" before I found Amy, and it was only until I found her that I discovered true hair zen. With her skill and thoughtful attention to my wants and needs, we achieved the "lived in blonde" I've always wanted without damaging my hair. I also experimented with extensions for about 3 years with Amy, and she is so talented at placement and blending my hair with the extensions. She even patiently coached me on how to style and care for my new locks. Not only is Amy amazingly good at what she does, she's also an absolute pleasure to talk to. She's easy-going, knowledgeable, caring and attentive. Thank you Amy for being the best hair stylist and colorist a girl could ever ask for!!

Since it was my first visit, I agreed. I showed her actual photos of myself with the haircut I always get, so there was no confusion about the style I wanted. Unfortunately, the haircut I received looked nothing like the photos. The layers are extremely choppy and uneven, and the face-framing section is much thicker and higher than I requested and does not blend well at all. The haircut is so uneven and choppy, I now have no choice but to wait until it grows out enough to get corrected. I understand that everyone can have an off day, but this is the first time I have ever gotten home to realize just how bad the cut is, I gave the benefit of the doubt I just needed to style it myself. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend booking with Ericka. I had high hopes for my first visit but am incredibly disappointed. Reply to Message Received I will be going to another salon, as I no longer feel comfortable returning after this experience. This should never have happened, and I cannot risk any further damage than has already been done. While I understand that your salon does not typically offer refunds, I believe there are circumstances, such as this one, where an exception is warranted. The haircut I received was not what I requested despite providing clear reference photos of my own hair, and the quality of the cut has left me with uneven, choppy layers. A refund would be an appropriate resolution given the circumstances.
