This is long…but very informative of the way this place does business and treats customers.
I asked the stylist Bailey for a trim and thinning. Well, the shears didn't just thin out my hair - literally chunks of my hair were cut off. I was horrified. Bailey proceeded to tell me it's supposed to look like that. I've been thinning my hair for as long as I can remember, and it has NEVER looked like that.
She got her manager, Dana, for a "second opinion." Dana tried to fix it, still I never received any kind of sympathy or apology. I was told that these things "just happen sometimes." Dana was also very aggressive, never let me speak, and never offered any kind of compensation. Before leaving, I was made to believe it wasn’t a big deal and that I was overreacting. About the chunks of hair missing from my head. :) Dana, the manager, said she "fixed it", but after getting home I went through my hair and saw there were even worse than I thought.
I was pretty upset, so I went back today to see if something could be done. The receptionist, Vivian, was extremely sweet and understanding of my situation. Exceptional customer service from her! 5 stars for Vivian - give her a raise, somebody! Vivian, you rock!!!!!
But since Dana dealt with me yesterday, she was called over. I heard the same remarks from Dana as the day before. I was overreacting. I asked the stylist next to me when Dana walked away what she thought…and she agreed with me. Sigh.
Anyway, Dana told me “sometimes shears malfunction.” I guess as a customer, I’m supposed to care about shears malfunctioning. When I explained to her I didn’t in fact care about shears malfunctioning, she walked away from me and processed a refund - which is great! What’s sad is this whole situation could have easily been taken care of and I may have even gone back in the future, but the customer service I received from Dana was so terrible. She was so rude and made me feel like it was my fault I am missing chunks of hair.
Unfortunately, I’ll no longer be going here or recommending it to my friends after this experience.
Thanks for reading!! Hope this helps you in your hair salon search! :)
