Most unprofessional place I've ever been to. I went there for waxing in the past it was always fine then I make a hair appointment and it was a disaster. I got a call first asking if I wanted to reschedule my appointment because of a impending storm. I proceed to say no because I want to see how the weather is going to be. I then get badgered and treated very rudely until I finally just cancel the appointment. I then write a review here to complain about the poor service. I receive an apology and delete the review. I go in for another wax and reschedule my hair. I then receive a call from a RECEPTIONIST saying my business is no longer welcome there because of my bad review. I ask to speak to the owner and she is "not there" I then ask for her to call me back. It has been almost two weeks and nothing. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. Sue and Tracy both are unprofessional and rude. My original complaint was about poor receptionist service, they take my money for waxing, but now I'm no longer welcome there because of a bad review.

I worked here for a short time .. at first this place seemed like a nice salon , until i started noticing a few things ... I am very knowledgeable with aveda products bc I did my schooling at aveda institute , this place has aveda bottles with sally products ... seen it first hand when the owner was filling up her back bar products with ion shampoo ... also leave all combs in barbicide and comb clients hair with barbicide dripping off the comb ... NEWSFLASH .... Milady chapter 5 barbicide is used to disinfectant for 10 minutes and never touch your skin ... And the COMMUNITY HAIR PICK ... they leave a hair pick at their back bar and they use it on all the clients ... no sanitization in between ... just gross.. head lice waiting to happen ... customers think they're getting a cut above service but their being faked ... would never recommend this salon to anyone ... and I absolutely do have my license and I have hooked a ton of your customers up with some hydrating conditioner for their crispy fried hair ...

Worth the price! Thanks ladies! Read Less

I went in on 8/25 for a full makeover. I had never been to the salon before, but through word of mouth I decided to try it. My stylist was Amy. While a bit on the pricey side, it wax worth every penny! I had a great experience! A whole afternoon of being pampered. When I went in, I told Amy I wanted to look like a whole new person when I left. And I did! Thank you Amy! Love my new look and wouldn't go anywhere else now! Read Less

I never write reviews. I live by them by never write them.This.place.was.amazing.I got an appointment the day I called and the hospitality was unreal! It's the little details that will bring me back! My hair is long and thin so I get pretty protective of it and it takes a lot of trust for me to go back to a place more than once. But my hair looks amazing! It's exactly what I wanted and needed!

Worst experience!I went to this salon at the urging of a friend because I wanted to do a radical color change from black to blonde. While the service there is very friendly, the results were NOT ACCEPTABLE. Sarah Elizabeth left bleach in my hair for 4 hrs the first time and 2 1/2 hrs every other month I went for 8 months. I thought this was necessary to make such a drastic change.However a friend of mine who is a hairstylist was worried about how DRY AND FRAGILE my hair HAD BECOME. When I told her how long I sat with the bleach on my head, she said that it wasn't necessary.Sarah Elizabeth always booked me for three hours and spent most of the time in the break room. Once when she was on vacation another girl did my hair and had only booked me for two hrs, with the bleach on my hair for one hour. Still my hair was very dry and breakable. I again thought it was just a result of a drastic change and since my hair short I knew it would grow out soon.When I found out how NEGLIGENT this was I stopped going there. Now I have my hair done at Zinnia and was finished in 2 1/2 hours including cut. I recommend Zinnia highly.If you want to spend $259 and 5 hrs to get your hair done and chemically burned, go to Aveda otherwise try somewhere else! Read Less

I absolutely love tracy & how she rocks at doing the beach body wave perm! Right after I got it done, I went to get groceries & No Joke,...had constant compliments & even "hit" on for it! Lol Tracy, truly has a gift with doing hair/perms/color etc! The beachy perm is one that celebrities get done & only a few practice/know the technique of it. Tracy does it with such a natural flow & gives her own flare of a touch to it! She's awesome & i'd refer her to anyone cause she's so talented! The ladies there are all great including the sweet assistant & the amazing owner/boss! Thanks again chica's/you all rock! Tracy, love ya hun!!!♡♡ Read Less
