My color only lasted 8 days & you could clearly see it was 2 different colors right after it was done . My roots were more red and about 3 inches down you can see where it switches to brown. 3 weeks after I got it done I was told I could come in and get it fixed for free. Well I ended up not being able to make my appointment because of a family emergency.. so I asked to reschedule and I was told I could come in on 2/28, the day I was originally supposed to come back to get it recolored if I wished, but I would have to pay because "it's been so much time in between your last reservation".. which I understand and I get it, but either way, the time doesn't matter. It has already completely faded out..and I should add, I only washed my hair 1 time in those 8 days with the Redken shampoo and conditioner they sold me nonetheless. I paid $91 for the service, (which was half price...so if it were full price, I would have paid $182.. thank God it wasn't) a 20% tip, and like $20 on a shampoo and conditioner. So total it was like $136. I'm not made of money.. that was a lot for me and I feel like I completely wasted it when I could have used it for something useful like bills.. This is the first time I've ever gotten my hair professionally colored and it was just not a good experience. If I ever go anywhere again, it'll be First Impressions in Bristol, CT.
Furthermore, when I called and spoke with Nathaniel, the owner, I was informed that the dye was demi-permanent.. well that was the first time I was told that. Never did I say I wanted that, and I was under the impression it was permanent.. I was also talked down to as if I was a child. He was making it out to sound like I didn't know how to formally deal with a complaint, when I do and I was never rude to anyone until I was told I would have to pay again. At that point, I made this review. He belittled me and told me "if I'm unhappy I should go to the owner or manager" obviously I know that. I went through my stylist, Audrey, because she was my friend and I thought she would help me fix it and I felt more comfortable dealing with her since she's the one who did it, so clearly she would have a better understanding of the situation than the owner. I was told there was nothing he could do for me and that I couldn't have a refund and then I was hung up on. Honestly I'm very upset by this whole ordeal. My feelings are very hurt and I feel as though I did nothing wrong. I drove 40 minutes to this salon, sat there for 3 hours, AND gave a 20% tip... I'm not made of money. That was a lot for me. I feel like the whole thing was handled wrong. I'm NOT a rude person and I have never left a negative review in my life... I just feel very wronged.
