STAY AWAY! RIP OFF! UNPROFESSIONAL!

by Holly H at Citysearch

Stay away from this psuedo salon!!! I went here to get hair extensions put in while I let my hair grow out and within 24 hours the tracks had slipped more than 3 inches from my hairline. I paid this woman (Joyce) $1500.00 which went to waste in less than 1 day. I had to pay another $1500.00 to have them put back in by a "professional". She also sold me a bottle of bonder (glue) which she said was a necessity and charged me $25.00 for the 0.5 oz bottle. I looked online and found the bonder for $2.49 for 5 oz so I called the manufacturer and they stated that she is NOT an authorized reseller and they would never let a reseller charge that much. I sent her an e-mail letting her know that I was dissatisfied and wanted my money back less the cost of the hair ($200,which is on the high side) or I would take her to court. She sent me an e-mail back stating that I was trying to get something for free and that is the problem with people in my age group (I am 30 years old). She also stated that I did that to my hair on purpose! Why because I wanted to pay double??? I even sent her pictures of each track coming loose. She stated that because I signed her "as is no returns" home made document that she would not give me my money back. This is not a legal document, and does not succeed federal consumer protection guidelines, it was in her squiggly handwriting, not even typed! Also, I spent 6 hours at her dishelved, unprofessional home listening to her tell me that Kenny G. and Boney James are in love with her and fighting over her for 30 years now. Both which are happily married and could have any woman they wanted. I seriuously listened to this the whole time I was there. Even made up sex stories. She states that they even wrote albums about her and she is a professional dancer. She is like 63 years old and completely out of shape and I had to listen to stories about how she is going to Vegas to make it big! It was a disgusting experience. Stay Away from her!

• Pros: WORST (PSUEDO) SALON EVER
• Cons: DISGUSTING EXPERIENCE

I WENT INTO AMBROSIAS FOR A CONSULTATION ON A CUT AND COLOR, I WAS VERY PLEASED WITH HER PROMT SERVICE AND HELPFUL GESTURES WITH MY COLOR. I WAS SOO HAPPY WITH EVERYTHING AFTER LEAVING THE SALON I CALLED BACK AND THANKED HER AGAIN AND DECIDED TO WRITE A REVIEW. AFTER READING THROUGH THE OTHER REVIEWS I WAS DISAPONTED N THE NEGATIVE RESPONS, I THOUGHT THAT SHE WAS THE TOTAL OPPOSITE OF WHAT WAS SAID. I WILL BE GOING BACK FOR MY NEXT APPOINTMENT.

• Pros: VERY HELPFUL!!

WHAT A RIP OFF - PLEASE STAY WAY

by MI at Citysearch

Very Rude and Aggressive, she pushes so hard so that you get something from her, I don't believe she knows anything about wigs and hairs...

she forced a consultation fee and she was so aggressive and she mentioned on several occassions that I am not to leave without I pay...

Stay away.. in simple terms she is a lunatic

• Pros: NOTHING
• Cons: She is a very very aggressive woman

AVOID at all cost!

Would NOT recommend this place! If anything do your research on wigs. Unfortunately, we had not done our research and spent over $1500 in a "salon" which is located in basement of owners home!!!

Salon website advertises that specializes in hairloss and cancer patients. Owner/Stylist told a cancer

patient her hair would never grow back....which in fact is incorrect.

After spending $1800 on 1 wig, 1 hat, and a "cancer" patient haircut....later found out could purchase an

even nicer wig for $45 in the same neighborhood!

• Cons: Over priced!!
