D Rock Salon

"TLDR: Avoid this salon unless you have brunette pin-straight hair and want minimal changes. I, with loosely curly hair, paid $400 for a coerced, rushed hairstyle that took 32 minutes of Christine's (the stylist) focused time. The color difference is only noticed in the sun, and haircut was choppy with my natural hair. Also, I had some bleached hair in the front and Christine made no attempt to darken it to make it uniform with the rest of my hair. So I still have very obviously blonde pieces in the front while the rest of my hair is brown. I waited four months before posting this review, and I still regret my D-Rock experience. The barely noticeable highlights and bad haircut could've been done better by myself (I literally have no experience), saving $400. This salon is only suitable for those with pin-straight, brunette hair seeking minimal changes. I have loose, dark brown, curly hair and wanted to recreate the silver highlights I got two years ago. Despite specifying "silver highlights," on the website and calling to ensure its possibility, I walked into the appointment to hear the stylist say she would not do it as it was unsafe and impossible (despite past pictures of my hair proving its possibility). After 40 minutes of persuasion and a consultation from another stylist about the silver, I was coerced into light all-over highlights and a haircut. The entire process, including applying foils/color, washing/toner, and cutting/blow-drying, took 32 minutes from her, the other 28 were waiting. The haircut was terrible—uneven layers and length. When my hair curled, the unblended difference was evident. I paid $400 for a dye job barely visible even in the sun and a choppy-looking haircut that needed fixing. D-Rock coerced me into a style I didn't want. Before my appointment, I saw reviews about how the stylists are “realistic/honest” with what you want, but I do not think this is genuinely the case, in my experience, the stylist chose the style that required the least amount of effort and time from her and the style she could charge me the highest price for. I will not be coming back here, my experience has shown me the bad reviews were indeed correct, and also that the stylists only care about charging the most possible for the bare minimum. Anywhere else would've charged around $200 for this, I have asked friends and even got a consultation from my old stylist. If all of this is not enough to persuade you, I paid less for the silver hair I previously had, which took a total of 5 hours of my old stylists time, and with three hours of that being dedicated bleaching time. Please do not go here, your wallet and reflection will be in pain!!! Picture is from same day"

"I came in with already bleached, damaged hair and came out with an amazing, (healthy) soft brunette foiled, reverse balayage, and baby lights. Heelan did an amazing job and Ms. Kim was a great assistant! Will definitely return for future re-touch ups."

"Heelan did an AMAZING job!! I came in with very damaged uneven hair, and she worked a literal MIRACLE! I love the way my hair looks and she is super sweet! Definitely recommend both her and the salon as a whole :)"

"You know I’ve really been holding off on reviewing but based on the fact that I hate my hair even after trying to love for almost a month it is really bothering me. It looks awful. The color that I absolutely did not want is yellow. I have black hair with basically yellow balayage. For reference I asked for beige brunette, and she said I wouldn’t accomplish it in the first go but then we went to a yellow? The worst part of it all is that we discussed not having the balayage start up high during the consultation, but now it’s at the root of my bangs and looks awful! I’m embarrassed to go outside sometimes because of how bad of a balayage it is. I expected more for a $500+ investment to my hair. This was not a cheap service and I picked a master colorist. I’m heavily disappointed, and expected something different. It is a gut punch knowing I’ll have to pay another $500+ just to fix this service. I did initially put in an internal review, but didn’t hear back from anyone and thought it was important to share my feedback since I never heard back. I will say when she first dyed it it was even more yellow and she tried to tone it down but it was still pretty bad but I was rushing out because I’d been there for 5 hours and had to get to work event so could not wait any longer. Additionally the staff is very nice, that’s why I have any stars at all. FYI: the photo was taken the same day I got the service. It has looked pretty bad since day one."

"Great salon! Their website makes it easy to get to know their stylists and book an appointment. Prices are dependent on the stylist and their mastery level. Be sure to budget 50% more than the listed price, just to be on the safe side. Tips must be in cash. They have an ATM inside the salon in case you don't have cash. My stylist was Yamil and my cousin had Brittany. Both did a great job with our color. We both went in for the balayage service. We had inspiration photos and after being reviewed by each stylist, they made great suggestions and the outcome was better than the inspiration photos. They are knowledgeable and professional. They don't sell services that you don't need. They're honest and not pushy. The salon is a great space. Very clean and they're constantly sanitizing after each guest. They check your temp at the door and you have to sign a waiver concerning Covid19. They provide you with a robe to wear over your clothes. They're doing the best they can to limit the spread of Covid19. Salon can be busy but they are very efficient in their process. Angela was the assistant when I was there and she is such a hard worker! She takes care of everyone from cleaning, sanitizing and washing your hair. After a visit to this salon, you'll never want to go anywhere else."
