I’m honestly appalled by the service that my friend received from this salon. She scheduled an appointment to have her hair and makeup done for prom, but she politely asked if she could have a trial run before spending $115 there on something that might not be what she wants. The lady, Marisa Rogers, agreed to do a trial run, but failed to mention that the so-called “trial†(which is typically considered an opportunity to try something for FREE) would cost my friend $100 until AFTER she had finished applying the makeup and doing her hair. Not only did she expect the $100, but the makeup was definitely NOT even worth $10. Yet, my friend felt cornered and eventually gave up the $100, despite the fact that she DID NOT deserve it.
When my friend relayed this story to me and a few others, it was obvious that she had been conned out of $100 for something that A) should have been free and B) looked like the work of a novice. After we encouraged her to reach out to Marisa and ask for at least half of her money back, she replied that my friend should have assumed the trial would cost money. While it would have been ideal in this situation for my friend to ask if the trial would cost anything, it should not have been expected of her to know to ask since, as I stated before, a trial typically insinuates “freeâ€. Plus, it is the job of the employee to relay any important information (such as prices) to their customers in order to avoid any confusion/problems.
Therefore, while my friend may not have been able to obtain a refund, I hope this review may help prevent this from occurring to anyone else in the future. Especially since they’ve handled this particular situation in a less than professional manner.
