ZERO STARS - Hacked my hair

I just had my hair hacked at Beach Breaks. They shaved the sides of my head without asking. It took the stylist under 10 minutes to butcher my hair. I told the manager I wasn't happy and it was under ten minutes and the manager said that's normal for Beach Breaks for a scissors cut. I could go on and on but it's just horrible. The only way I can make sense of how she cut my hair is that they hired someone young, inexperienced, with little training, and told them to do a haircut in under ten minutes. It's just horrible. My experience is congruent with the negative reviews we'll see in other places.

I had a terrible color job at another salon. I was calling around places crying trying to find somewhere to fix it because the place that did said they did not have time to fix it. This place took me and they tagged teamed in order to get me in. They colored it, washed, deep conditioned, and styled it. They didn't charge me! I was flabbergasted. I'm so grateful to these girls and they will definitely see me again. I was so humbled. Thank-you girls, you now have a loyal customer! I am a business owner and would never treat someone the way I was treated at the first salon. I will tell everyone ♡

Beach Break is amazing and I am so grateful for them. I have been going to them for a while and always LOVED my results. After there was an issue with my hair coming out too dark for my liking the owner, Natasha, kindly offered to help me fix it and did an amazing job. I really recommend Kate for any blonde work and Emily is super sweet and talented as well. But everyone there is magical and really great at their job. Highly recommend!

Rilee is amazing! I needed a last minute color correction fix for my hair. I had black, blue and green and she was able to lighten my hair to a more deep brown and lighten the color to this super cute caramel. I am in love with it and already have my next session set!

I have gotten 3 haircuts at Beach Break Salon so far, and the people who work there have completely butchered my hair on two separate occasions now. The first cut was incredibly uneven and unskilled. It was like someone put an uneven bowl on my head and simply cut around it. After the first time I gave them the benefit of doubt and went back after my hair grew out for another cut. They didn't listen to how I wanted my hair cut, and while the end product wasn't nearly as bad as the first time it was way shorter than I would of liked. Finally after two years of growing my hair out I returned to Beach Break Salon. I showed the woman cutting my hair 10 reference pictures of myself with the exact length and style I was going for. About mid way through I was actually happy with how the cut was shaping up. Then I assume she messed up because suddenly my hair was getting cut super short. Except she did a horrible job and left it super uneven. I have a lock of hair on the back of my head that is still 6+ inches long because I guess she just forgot to cut it? In all the reference pictures of myself I showed my bangs sat on my eyebrows while being brushed to the side across my forehead. After the haircut my bangs sat mid forehead being brushed straight down. I stressed in the beginning of the haircut I had a bad callick in my hairline. Sadly this was ignored leading to my hair also looking super uneven. At the end of the haircut she noticed how poor it went and told me "I had to give it time because my hair had to learn how to be short again after being so long for such a long period of time". Well it's been a month and a half and my hair still isn't long enough for me to go get this travesty fixed yet. I wish I remembered her name so I could call her out on such a horrible haircut. Avoid at all cost. I would rather shave my head bald with a rusty box cutter than receive another hair cut at this establishment.
