| - It's a nice salon with lovely staff, but my experience wasn't quite what I hoped for.
A few weeks ago I needed to get tape in extensions applied and didn't trust myself to do it. I called Studio Luxe and they were very accommodating and took me the next day. They didn't mind that I brought my own extensions, I just had to sign a waver saying they were at no fault if the extensions caused me damage since it wasn't purchased through them. I forgot the name of the girl who applied my extensions (I think it was Ashely?) she was extremely sweet, but struggled with the application. I could tell she was having trouble with the placement - a couple of times she had to pull pieces she stuck onto my hair out to reapply and it was quite painful. A piece on the side of my head was applied crooked (which I was told would make it blend more naturally, but honestly it's harder to conceal.) They're not supposed to be applied at an angle like that, so I got a little nervous.
One of the 40 pieces I brought in somehow got lost, but I didn't mind, so we managed with an even 38. Once they were all applied, she was nice enough to then cut them shorter (they were ridiculously long) to blend them with my real hair, and it looked great from the back... but I like my hair to sit over my shoulders in the front, and it looked HORRIDLY jagged that way. I had to ask her more than once to trim them to look natural, but it didn't make much of a difference. I eventually felt bad that I kept asking her to go back in and fix it, which she struggled to do, so I ignored it and cut/fixed it myself once I got home.
It cost over 200 dollars to get these applied, which took less than an hour (maybe 45 mins max?) AND I had to fix the cut myself when I got home, which for that price is pretty unacceptable. It was paid without a fuss.
I understand that getting your hair done can be costly, but the pricing for this was ridiculous. Another reviewer here said she paid 130 for bleach, tone, shampoo and conditioner. Why did mine cost over 200 for less than an hour of work that I had to fix myself with product that I provided??
