| - I could be a little spoiled, I do live in NYC, but no matter where I am, I expect a perfect blowout no matter what, especially if I'm being charged $75 for it.
This was my second visit even after the epic blowout failure the first time. I thought if I changed stylists and upgraded to a higher priced one it would solve the problem. No, it didn't.
They use exceptional products, Oribe, as does my salon in New York so I'm not sure why my hair didn't turn out the same. I informed the stylists, both times, that I have very coarse, dry, color treated hair but that I wanted it to be very straight with a slight curl on the end. I have this done twice a week at my salon at home perfectly, it isn't difficult. Or at least my stylist here makes it seem easy. Not only that, but my stylist got it right the first time she ever did it.
The first stylist used a paddle brush on my hair. I would have normally been against that, but I had a stylist do my hair in Chicago with one beautifully so I thought it could be done. It can't, at least not at this salon. My hair that night started to frizz and become full of body, the exact thing I didn't want. It isn't like Las Vegas is humid so the only thing I could come up with is that she obviously didn't know how to do a proper blowout.
I'd like to say that, in all the years I've been straightening my hair, I have never had these kinds of problems. Granted, once I find someone to do my hair, I stay with them. But even traveling I've never had this much trouble. I've had my hair done at the Bellagio and it was decadently beautiful.
So, onto the SECOND try with this same salon. The more advanced stylist who charged an outrageous amount for a blowout, did my hair with a brush with an oblong barrel which I asked about. She assured me that the curl at the bottom would be the same as with a round barrel. It wasn't. Not even close. It looked horrible so I asked her to redo it. She chose a smaller brush with another oblong barrel. Again, same result.
The problems really didn't start until a few hours later with both hairstyles. They began to frizz, my hair began to get more and more volume and eventually it felt unhealthy and dry and the curl didn't stay nor would my hair flatten anymore even when blowdried at home.
Both times my hair was a disaster. Either the bar is low for stylists in Vegas and that's what makes people love this salon or, I have no clue. I pay half of what she charged me in NYC and my hair turns out perfectly every time.
I will never spend another dime in this salon and I certainly wouldn't trust them with color, semi-permanent straightening or a cut if they can't get a blowout right.
As as aside, I rarely write reviews (unless the service is really terrible or extraordinary), but with all the 5-star ratings (I'm honestly dumbfounded) I had to tell about my disappointing experiences. This place is not anywhere near the salon it's claimed to be -- not by a very long shot.
