The Un-Salon

by genvieve

I never write reviews...just don't have time...but this I need to share. I am slightly graying and blonde, hard hair to color, so I go to a place I think can handle it. Have gone to UVillage plenty of times and been happy, so why not try out someplace closer, but familiar. Bad idea. Chaotic front area, My designer made me wait 15 mins in front lounge, then had to wait 20 mins for her to "mix up" some color? which turned out to be bleach. I had her do a full foil and wanted my highlights from summer deepened and a warmer tone throughout...didn't happen...instead got a head full of broken white frizzle...sob...This is a cliff-hangar though, as UVillage GJ has agreed to do the adjustment, and hopefully they can fix it, but still, I can't get back the precious time I wasted on this debacle.

Horrible Place

by casharoo

My first and for sure my last time there, was a humiliating experience. Besides very poor customer service, I was given a very bad haircut.....2 1/2 hours for a simple haircut, which they totally messed up. Wouldnt even take my dog ther for a grooming. Horrible place!

Won't ever go back

by lucky77

I've kept going back thinking I was getting the "wrong" stylist. I'd place the quality I've gotten along side $12 haircuts, not $60 plus large tip. And listening to the stylists, it's just a job for them. I got that message from the clerks too, who didn't demonstrate customer service at all.

Here's my advice: Never get a haircut before an important date. I'm going to need a very long time to grow this out. Never get a haircut so short you can't put it into a pony tail. With some product to hold the short layers that I asked him specifically not to do, that advice will be my saving grace.

As soon as it grows out, I'm going to look for a different salon, and a stylist who keeps his/her training up to date, goes to shows, competes, etc., thereby demonstrating a passion for his/her work.
