| - One star for effort only. Asians should stay away from here.
I really hate to write this but this salon does not know how to do Asian hair. At all. Asians might think me a fool for trying a non-Asian salon but I was fooled by all the good reviews and I was so excited that this place seemed to specialize in the look I wanted that I went against common sense. But, at my first visit to the salon, I learned that you could get a free item for a review. So, reviews may have been biased like my first review was. Even though I didn't love my hair after my first visit, I wrote a good review in the hopes it would help me love my hair. It didn't. I ended up texting the salon several times to complain about my hair to get it fixed on my second visit. The second visit to re-lighten my hair was the only thing keeping me going after the first cut since I was hoping to get it fixed.
I even drove from an hour away to get my hair done...twice. The stylists are nice. The salon is beautiful. But, I felt like I was an alien the way all the stylists talked about how different my hair is. I tried to love my hair. Really, I did. I tried so hard. Now I just hate it.
On my second visit, my stylist couldn't figure out what was wrong with the cut until I pointed them all out to her. She had the gall to tell me my hair is just going to look choppy and have uneven strands of hair like that because it's Asian hair and thicker than Caucasian hair (as if I haven't had a good haircut my entire life or something???). She even told me that that's what layers look like. I have thick hair. I've had layers my whole life or my hair would poof super awkwardly. She then spent 4 hours and asked 2 other stylists for help trying to fix my but so much had to get chopped off to try to even it out. I had already chopped 6-8 inches off the first visit so I was crying internally that my hair was so short and not getting fixed. I tried to focus on getting a good cut. On the second visit, my stylist asked to see my reference photo but I knew we weren't going to be able to get close to it anymore and was just hoping to get my hair looking decent anyway at all. Even then, the same issues of an uneven, choppy cut remain. Plus, since the second visit was so long, I couldn't do anything I had planned to do on my drive down to the area and had to just drive back home.
My bleach job was also horrible. I wanted an ombre look. However, the bleach left my hair a brassy color the first time. The only thing that kept me going was that my second visit was supposed to lighten the tips close to platinum blonde and bring up the bleach for an ombre look with three levels of colors. I went back to lighten it on my second visit. Instead of the tips getting lighter, the rest of my hair is now the same shade of brassy blonde and I have a very odd bleach job with my roots unevenly black. I wish we had just gone completely blonde if I knew it was going to turn out this way.
I might have given two stars if not for the nonstop excuses I had to hear both visits on why my hair couldn't dye the right way or cut the right way from all of the stylists. The stylists kept saying my hair just won't cut right because it's "so coarse and thick" and were in disbelief that Asians can get blond hair in one or two visits at an Asian salon. Plus, the comments j mentioned above. Again, I might not have been as put off if the stylists all didn't talk about my hair as if it so strange and different from Caucasian hair and blamed my hair texture for their failures. I mean, I've had many good haircuts in my life. Plus, what do they plan to do if a Caucasian with thick hair comes in?
In summary, I have been figuring out which wig I need to order and will likely be using that until my hair grows out on the days I want to look nice. I also invested in biotin in the hopes that my hair will grow out fast enough for me to get it fixed soon at another place. Otherwise, my close friends have recommended dying my hair back to black because my hair looks so bad and tacky.
I am so embarrassed by the haircut and bleach job I received at this place. I would never recommend it to Asians. Lesson learned. I will only seek out salons with lots of Asian hair experience for the rest of my life. Shame on me for trusting this salon with my hair...and then letting them try to fix it when I was so miserable the first time. I only paid for my stylist's time and effort since I knew she was doing her best. Unfortunately, her best work now has me investing in a wig.
