I went to the hair salon today, and the woman who greeted me was very rude and treated me unfairly. She ignored me and took another customer who came after me, which made me feel disrespected. So, I left the place and went to another salon.

10/10 experience! I walked in, no line, just ready to go. My stylist, Ashleigh, did a very good job! I have complicated hair and it was a little too thick, but she got a really fun and good-looking cut from it. She was careful to doll what I asked, but also applied an artistic eye. I’m thankful for this experience as it didn’t break the bank, but was still custom to me.

Horrible horrible attitude! I would give 0 if I can. My 20 month old baby was waiting with me for his dad getting hair cut. Baby touched their hair products display, his hands were clean, he didn’t squeeze didn’t shake didn’t pick up didn’t dislocate any of those bottles, the black woman (maybe the manager) stopped her work and came to us, took away all the products baby can reach and told me “ I need to sell these”. Excuse me, a baby’s touch will make you unable to sell your products? Maybe your products or YOU is the reason you can not sell! Shame! Will never go there again!
