| - *more of a 3.5 stars*
I booked an appointment with Hair District online for bleach + dye, and I worked mostly with Patricia on my hair. They cycled me through their other stylists- Mana and Kelly- and they were all very friendly individuals. I sat there for 5 hours to dye my hair, and they seemed to have a lot of clients walking in and out of the door- always a good sign!
We had to bleach, tone, and then dye my hair. In-between there was frequent hair rinses and tea drinking. They have a TV that displays Chinese variety shows, Netflix series or youtube clips. The small talk was pretty good and not awkward, which I appreciate.
I had a consultation with Patricia on the hair color, and we decided to do a purple balayage. It ended up looking reaaaaally subtle on my super dark brown hair, and it was red. Very red. They said it looked 'grape-colored' but it's absolutely red. The effect was still really pretty, just not what I was hoping for. I didn't wash my hair afterwards but I immediately started sprouting split ends from all strands of my hair. (I've never had split ends before and it was just everywhere now.)
The total came to $280 for my hair bleaching/dyeing, and I also bought a serum for my dyed ends. They gave me a beautiful blowout, and my hair has never felt so smooth and tangle-free! I saw some other girls leave the salon with wonderful curls.
The service is definitely 5 stars but the outcome of my hair color + the state of my hair itself was rather disappointing. It might be better if you come here for haircuts as opposed to hair dye.
PS They offer complimentary scalp massages and hair curling after your session!
