This review is more for the hair stylist than the salon itself. He actually moved to a new salon recently called 24/7 Salon on Tropicana/Decatur, so beware!
I was recommended to see RYAN (I believe he is Native American so avoid this Ryan!) by a friend. I wanted reddish streaks in my hair similar to a bayalage or ombre look and I showed him a picture. As he was bleaching my hair, I noticed he was rushing and it was kind of rough. After he finished putting the bleach in my hair he sat me under the dryer and I realized then why he was rushing. He had another client waiting for him also. Apparently, he booked us about 30 min apart, who does that?!?! As a stylist why would you book 30 min. apart knowing it will take longer than 30 minutes to cut and highlight. He basically left me under the dryer for over 30 min. which cannot be good to have bleach in your hair for that long!!!
Long story short, the end result was HORRIBLE. It didn't even come out red, the areas where my hair was bleached was stringy, stretchy, and basically DEAD. I got my hair done at the end of June and to this day where the bleach was left my hair breaks, clumps, and falls out. After he blew dry my hair and tried to style it, I asked him why my hair color wasn't red, why was my hair like this, my hair felt so dead and stringy, and he couldn't even answer me. He just sat in the chair playing with his phone. Obviously, he knew he F*CKED up my hair so bad!!!! PLEASE DO NOT GO TO HIM IF YOU WANT HIGHLIGHTS, BALAYAGE, OR OMBRE. He doesn't know what he's doing. He's been a stylist for over 20 years and it is apparent that 20 years of experience doesn't mean anything. I've had other stylists do my hair that has only been doing it for a few years and they have been wonderful.
I had to have my boyfriend fix my haircut for me because it wasn't even and I had to dye my hair back to black. My boyfriend doesn't even have his cosmetology license but he never ruins my hair. I should have just let my boyfriend do my hair BUT I wanted to get it professionally done. LESSON LEARNED!!
It was such a devastating experience and I wouldn't want anyone to have to experience what I went through. I literally cried that night because I was so upset, especially how he just sat there at the end like an idiot. How unprofessional. I'm sure he knew how horrible he messed up my hair. It couldn't be anymore obvious! I get that we all make mistakes BUT when I'm paying you over $100 to do my hair, I don't want to go home and FIX IT!!! I don't want to go home and dye my hair because you couldn't do your job competently. He probably could have tried to fix it, but would you really trust someone to touch your hair again after that mishap?!
