Drop-Dead Gorgeous Salon

"Extremely lackluster experience. Went for a color consultation with a mid-tier stylist that had decent reviews and good pictures to back up her work. I have naturally very dark brown hair, but I have been going to a family friend for bleaching/root touch ups and trims. My hair is currently 85% light blonde and my roots are grown out about an inch or so. I knew the blonde was uneven, and with my natural color I knew it was going to be a long and expensive process. I had a few pictures of what color and style I was going for, but it felt like the stylist did not agree with any of the color choices I had. She showed me a few swatches of colors that were close, but not what I wanted. She quoted me at over $300 for bleaching my hair, cut, and color. I emphasized that I wanted a silvery blue color that was more silver than blue, but she gave me a few different explanations of why I couldn't have that color. I explained my current process and told her of the work I currently put into my hair to achieve that color. She maintained her stance that it wouldn't "look right." I was upset, but decided I still would give her a chance. I saw a few other darker colors in the same book that I liked, but when I asked if those could be done she kept saying that the colors would look "muddy." I pointed to three different colors and she responded with the same answer. I was very disappointed, but I understood that perhaps her skill level wasn't where it should be to attempt those colors. Still willing to work with her, I told her that if she couldn't get the silver-blue color, no big deal. I asked her if she could cut and bleach my hair anyway and go without the color. I don't like to make assumptions, but her attitude toward me changed when I informed her I wasn't comfortable proceeding with coloring my hair, as I didn't like the colors that she kept trying to push on me. She eventually did a test strip on my hair to see how it would lighten. I sat for about 20-25 minutes before she washed the bleach out, after which the stylist informed me that she "couldn't" work on my hair because she "let [the bleach] sit for a long time and it only lightened to a caramel color." I did not expect my hair to lighten to the precise blonde color needed on the first try, as I know my hair is naturally very dark. I anticipated even multiple sessions to get to the desired color. I felt I was being extremely realistic and understanding, therefore I wouldn't have minded if she needed to put in the extra work. However, the attitude I received from the stylist was the equivalent of her throwing up her hands and shrugging. I was hoping for at least a recommendation of where I could go, or perhaps a recommendation for a more qualified stylist. I left extremely disappointed and I will not be returning. Also, their seats are not comfortable so be prepared if you have a long appointment scheduled."

"I needed a sort of last minute haircut, and scheduled with Alaina. She did a wonderful job - I had her take off a lot of length and do some layering. She was communicative and kind, and in the end I was really happy with how my hair turned out."

"Went today for the first time just for a much needed cut. I do want to get a color done but wanted to get my foot in the door first! I made an appointment with Alaina as I was new and don't know anybody there. She is very young but she was super sweet and discussed my ideas for color. She talked about doing a test strand to make sure it would even take as to not want to waste my money or our time! My haircut and style was absolutely fabulous! I love it! I will be back for that color!"

"Y’all when I say Sarah is the bomb I literally mean it!! Not only is she amazing with men’s cuts but when it comes to hair color she literally knocked it out of the park!! Sarah is the only person I trust to do my hair and I will continue to go to her. I even booked her for hair on my wedding day coming in October! If you are looking for a new stylist who actually gives effort towards you, i extremely recommend her!!"

"M'kayla is so talented! She was able to fix the hot mess of a color I had come in with and she turned it into something beautiful! I've never been the person to get my hair colored consistently but since I've found M'kayla I get excited to go in and get new fun colors because she is so talented. She is reasonably priced and delivers what you ask for!"
