If I could give less than one star for the overall experience, I would. My hair and color turned out beautiful, but unfortunately that is where the positive experience ends.
I paid $1,600 for weft hair that had to be ordered and waited weeks for it to arrive. When it was delayed, my appointment was abruptly canceled, and when I asked to reschedule, I was initially told no and the receptionist ended the call. They called back the next day and eventually rescheduled me.
I took the day off work and was told my appointment would take approximately 5 hours. I was there for over 7 hours and left after 6 p.m., despite planning to pick up my children based on the timeframe I was given. I received no meaningful updates about the delay. Meanwhile, the owner took time to eat and feed her child after school while my appointment continued to run later. I completely understand needing to eat and care for your child(but you are also working)the issue was the complete lack of consideration or communication regarding my time. During those 7+ hours, I was not offered a drink, food, or even shown where the restroom was.
I also listened to the owner and staff openly gossip about other clients and discuss their personal business. It was extremely uncomfortable and unprofessional and made me wonder what would be said about me after I left.
The biggest shock came at checkout. I had already paid $1,600 for the hair and understood installation to be approximately $600, plus a bleach/tone. Instead, my bill that day was nearly another $1,300 due to additional services/treatments whose total cost had never been clearly communicated to me beforehand. I paid the bill in full—approximately $2,900 total.
When I expressed surprise about the price, I later received a lengthy email from the owner explaining how offended SHE was by my reaction. I responded politely, thanked her for the beautiful hair, explained my concerns, and even apologized that my reaction upset her. I received no response.
Four weeks later, I called to arrange the maintenance/move-up service I had previously been quoted. My first message was ignored. After calling again, I received a text stating that I was “no longer a client” and that my one-star Google rating was “the last straw.”
Most concerning, they still have portions of the $1,600 hair I purchased. Despite terminating me as a client, no one has contacted me about returning the remaining hair that belongs to me or explained how I can retrieve it.
My hair is beautiful, and I will give credit for that. But after spending approximately $2,900, I expected transparent pricing, professional communication, respect for my time, discretion regarding other clients, and appropriate follow-up.
Beautiful hair does not make up for this level of customer service.
