I had a similar so-so experience with Ashley at Ami Salon. I purchase a Groupon which included a cut, color, deep conditioning treatment, and style. My understanding is that these specials are used to attract new clients... That did not work with me.
There were no suggestions given when asked what would be a good look and color was not what I wanted. Then, I was rushed out of there without receiving the deep conditioning treatment or a style/blow dry because she had somewhere else to be. It is my thought that you should not leave a hair salon without a style because you do not have an opportunity to see if you like the finished product or not. And, I do not think it is a best practice to send a client out with wet hair!
So, I received 50% of what I purchased and services rendered were subpar. I would keep looking...
