My visit to Signature Salon was disappointing to say the least. I booked the appointment by calling her in and she canceled it the morning of the appointment. Bummer! But I was willing to work around this so tried to get another appointment that fit Olga’s schedule.
When you go for a hair appointment, you look forward to the service(s) and the experience. I went in for a haircut – which was average, the experience however was terrible beyond words. I am an Asian by ethnicity, so I was welcomed by a never-ending string of questions about my visa status, my work authorization, my husband’s visa status, the visa status of my family in India. Olga might as well be a part of USCIS.
Then came in condescending comments about India being a country of gypsies and rat feeding illiterate people, some of who choose not to eat meat. All this while I was trying to be polite, because let’s face it she had my hair in her hands. I tried to divert the topic and asked a few questions about hair and styling and her recommendations. That is when she started me lecturing about how a real woman should be – she should be presentable at all times even while she goes to take the trash, and spend hours to maintain herself. This is what you should have been taught by your mother when you were growing up!!!
If you choose to spend x amount of time on your looks and hair, that is fine by me, but you shouldn’t be judging others on their life choices. By the way, she didn’t mention this when I booked the appointment but she only take cash or check so make sure you don’t go in with your credit card.
I wouldn’t recommend this place at all.
