WORST BLONDE BALAYAGE - ORANGE AND FRIED HAIR

by KAPTIVA

How unfortunate for me to find the Gene Juarez Salon.

While it is modeled after "Frederic Fekkai" Salons, it is just a "wannabe", inexperienced version of it.

The Balayage Colorists are the worst. They are totally faking it....with all the right words....but cannot deliver.

They each have the same story...you can hear them tell every single client, "Don't expect to see great results for a few months". You can go for a year and never see great results....simply because they are not capable of pulling it off.

After being ruined with orange hair, by their Color Director/Instructor, Tony Kim, their Customer Service Director invited me to come back so that their "Top Colorist" Alania, could fix it.

I met with her and their Top Hair Designer to review photos, and consult on what had to be done. She seemed to understand.

Alania created Another TOTAL HAIR DISASTER....this time my hair was WHITE, WHITE, WHITE....as in "Bride of Frankenstein".

I was Shocked, the Director Designer was Shocked, but Alania just didn't get it...."What Problem?"

Back to the bleach for another "fix". The final result was awful, but by this time my hair was fried and broken.

IT WILL TAKE MONTHS FOR MY HAIR TEXTURE AND COLOR TO RECOVER FROM THESE IRRESPONSIBLE MISTAKES.

If you are looking for beautiful blond, "RUN, DON'T WALK FROM THIS SALON".

TAKE THE TIME TO READ THE OTHER REVIEWS...THERE DEFINITELY IS A PATTERN HERE.

• Pros: VERY INEXPERIENCED COLORISTS
• Cons: THE COLORISTS ARE FAKING IT....RUN, FROM THIS SALON

I asked someone on the stree who cut there hair, and did' go

by mymakenabeach

The Salon looks nice and dressed up, and eveyone is in black like hairdressers. I gace the girl my vision. I spoke slowly, and wasn't sure if she goy what i was saying. I should have left. that was my intution. Anyway it was un even, which I don't mind if that is what I wanted, but it was no where near the caliber of what i wanted. I think this used to actually be a good place to get hair done, but it has really slipped.

Don't ever train at their Advanced Training Salon!!

by smileyriley

When you learn at their Advanced Training Salon, they make it sound like you are sooo priveleged. The propaganda they feed you as to how great it will be once you start working for them is outrages!! I know, I've been there!! I also have made friends with others at various GJ's and they feel the same way. They are sooooo sorry that they fell for it and are stuck in their bogus contract. Gene Juarez doesn't even own it anymore! And the various salon management is mostly young inexperienced grunts just begging for a title.

• Pros: NONE
• Cons: The Contract they force you to sign
