Wedgwood Hair Studio

"I’m in disbelief. I walked in there and said “this is how I like my hair, this is how I style it, just a little bit shorter.” And she trimmed around my entire head. By the time I realized it I lost most of my length. Likely a years worth of hair growth is gone. I cannot even style it. I’m in shock. I don’t want to be seen in public. This is horrible. She didn’t even ask what I wanted cut. Just “okay okay I got it”. Who does that? Just cutting it how you want to?"

"The best place to get a hair cut in Seattle! They always take great care of me and my daughter. Coming in for a trim is one of her favorite outings!"

"I recently moved to Seattle and wanted a stylist in my neighborhood. I made an appointment at the Wedgewood Hair Studio for 'full color with foils.' The salon is lovely; it's clean without a chemical smell, and feels welcoming and peaceful. I asked for light brown, with blond highlights, and pointed out the brown hair sample in the book with a very slight reddish tint (which I have had for years). In the past it has been simple for stylists to do. I even specifically asked to avoid bright sheen, and stated my preference for an ashy, faded hue of brown and blond. She said sorry, light brown was too hard with my hair, but she would do darker brown instead. Inexplicably, Michelle then dyed my hair extremely red. I don't think she did it on purpose and I'm not mad at her at all; it just seems she doesn't have experience regarding color. When I was shocked that it was red, she said "Well you wanted a lighter color." (So she couldn't do light brown, told me she would do darker brown, and then dyed it bright red instead.) I tried to tell myself it was okay, but I'm dreading seeing this in the mirror every day. The salon manager should have assigned me to someone whose expertise is color. Michelle is kind and gentle, and a very nice person who deserves a successful career. But hair is personal and important, and when you simply need brown hair it would be nice to get that, especially when paying $230. That was my hair budget for several months; I can't afford to go anywhere else and get it fixed, and it wouldn't be good for my hair anyway. I added a photo of how my hair normally looks (which is what I asked for) and an unfiltered photo of the color I got today."

"I asked for highlights and showed inspiration photos.The hairstylist clearly didn’t understand what I was asking for. My hair has two platinum blonde streaks in the front that are very noticeable (not what I asked or showed!!) The bleach was not toned at all. My hair is dark Brown .The photos show what I got vs what I asked for"
