I went there once a few years ago for a cut and it was great. Can't remember the girl's name. Very nice.
But I went again at the end of 2022 and had been so excited as I haven't had my hair dyed in years and was ready for this confidence in my hair.
My appointment was at 9am and as I was in my car, literally about to leave (830 am) they TEXTED me to tell me the girl Haleigh called in sick. 30 mins before an appointment. Extremely unprofessional.being 30 mins before an appointment.
Then they had rebooked me with another girl named Mallory and I had showed her a picture of what I wanted and we talked about exactly what I wanted. And she had been a stylist for six years she told me so I had all the faith it would be great right.
And then at the end when it was all done and dry, it was not what I wanted at all. She was so nice so I felt bad and I never told her, and just said it was pretty. But after paying $375 (I got shampoo also) I believe it was, I should've walked out feeling my absolute best. It was not what was shown or talked about at all. I wanted thin highlights throughout my hair, the kinda blonde that's more on the greyish white side. And it was a yellowy colour in the end. I went to another store and bought purple shampoo days later hoping it would get to the colour I wanted but unfortunately it didn't. So my experience wasn't great as it was First the cancellation 30 mins before my appointment then the hair not being as asked and me being so upset with it when I got home. And paying as much as I did.to be so disappointed.

My appointment was with Donna. She is a very experienced stylist. I was in desperate need of a color & cut & Donna did a wonderful job, as usual. Donna makes the time go quick, as we chat most of the time.

My appointment was for my monthly cut with Donna. Donna is a very professional senior stylist. I have been a long time customer of hers'. She is a great conversationalist and interested in what I have been doing over the past month. Donna was wearing a mask which made me feel comfortable during these times when indoors.
