Misogynistic and discriminatory

Folks, it is illegal to discriminate against someone on the basis of gender. I got a haircut here. I was charged a 'men's cut' rate of $60. My wife, who has a shorter haircut than I do, was offered a cut at $110 - simply because she's a woman. Even though they knew her hair was shorter than mine, they couldn't reduce the rate - because she's a woman, they said they had to charge her the 'woman's rate.' This is illegal discrimination. It's the 'pink tax' on overdrive. I will NOT be going back to this place again and strongly recommend against using a service that is so blatantly misogynistic and discriminatory toward women.

If you are black or and didnt dress up dont go to this location!! Most of the employees are stereotype and racists. I go to this location to buy products several times because I leave in the area. However, except a couple of times I never found my experience pleasant. My experience today was the worst among all. I bought almost $100 worth products last Saturday and didn't like one of them. I know they have a seven days return policy and today is the six day. I found one lady at the counter and I told her I need to exchange and gave her my receipt. With out even looking at me right after I hand her, she said "We have a seven days policy so I can't exchange it." WHAT? You didnt even read it, you just want to say NO because some black people come and give you trouble and assumed that I am one of them. When she saw me mad at her, she said "they are some people who come here bla bla bla..." I don't care I'm one individual who is way different that what you think. If you are in service you need to see it case by case. She told me she has been in the service industry for long time and she is one of the owner. Really? You are the owner and your first answer is NO? You dont wan't even go extra to help customer? Of course not. Why should you care? I am not your type of target customer and you dont care if i came back to your store or no. But guess what? I can afford to buy the products and the money is the same color. Also if I drive a few miles there is another store with great customer service. I suggest you and your staffs to come out of your shells and think positive. EVERYONE IS NOT THE SAME

Arielle is an amazing person and stylist. I left the salon feeling 100x better than I walked in because of her. She is obviously talented but her inner beauty shines through in the way she cares for her clientele.
