2 /5 Pearl: It was okay. I’m very picky when it comes to my hair because I’ve had really bad experiences. When I got there I wasn’t sure where to go and there was just a lot of ladies bundled up chatting so I just sat down and waited. Finally I figured out that their “check in” is on the Side of the salon. And I got up to get some help. I had booked a service for 170$ that got changed to $175. This was done online, no one contacted me for the change. I figured maybe it was a time frame thing and the other service just means more time.
Then I got there and I was told it would be 285$ for everything that was talked about. We talked about adding a gloss and two types of highlights. And a deep conditioner. It was really relaxing. And everyone was super friendly. But the highlights did feel rushed and the final product looks a little sloppy at the roots. She was trying to work in two other clients while i was there though. So that’s probably why.
Well, here’s the best part, when I went to pay they increased the price yet again. I thought they had included the “recommended products” (a shampoo, conditioner and hair mask). So I didn’t say anything and as I was getting ready to
Leave she told me those haven’t even been added yet. Initial price online: $170 Price after talking to stylist 285$ price that I paid after my 25$ tip 400$ price after I bought the conditioner, shampoo and hair mask $575. Now, I know you get what you pay for but I’ve had a balayage with beautiful highlights for less than that. Not to mention all the products here have very very strong chemicals. And some of the highlights in the front of my hair do look a little tacky for my taste. I can’t put my bangs up without it looking like I have a huge chunk of random yellow highlights with a hard finish before it gets to the roots. I will be keeping them and maintaining them for a while since I don’t want to mess my hair up again with more chemicals. But I think I’ll keep looking around for a stylist that can dedicate all the hours I book with them to my hair. And more importantly, find a salon that isn’t trying to sneak up costs on you. You should know up front all the costs before they start to work in your hair. Personally I don’t mind paying more if the work is worth the money.
