The reason I first booked with this place is it was listed under Locks of Love salons in my area and the receptionist at the salon could not have been more kind or professional. I was really looking forward to my appointment.
I arrived for my appointment with 15 minutes to spare and waited in the lobby. While there I saw a small sink near a snack area so I helped myself to some water. I turned on the faucet and water came pouring out of a small hose off to the side that I hadn't seen. After turning off the faucet I called a staff member to show them the faulty sink. Rather than taking the large amount of napkins I had used to clean up the water mess, the staff lady and, I think, the owner of the salon discussed the water pipes. Neither acknowledged me nor the bulky napkins in my hand so I found a trash can on my own and sat back down.
My hair stylist was running a bit late with her customer and I heard the receptionist ask her to speed it up a bit. I was in no rush so I did not look at my watch to see how long after my appointment time I had waited. When the stylist called me back to her chair to sit and discuss my hair, it was quite obvious she had not swept up the previous client's hair; it covered the chair and the floor. Only after I asked her to clean off the hair did she sweep it.
My hair had to be cut twice after the initial braids were cut. I was thankful for the stylist's honesty when I asked her if she was used to cutting really curly hair; she admitted she was not. When I made my appointment I was quite specific in requesting an experienced stylist. After my hair was cut with a new short hairstyle I asked if I could use the salon's products and style my hair on my own. When I did so, it was very noticeable that my hair was cut poorly and we both laughed at the cut. The stylist cut my hair again which did improve the style but I made up my mind at that point to go to a salon closer to me that charges a lot more but can guarantee a great haircut.
Before I left, the receptionist showed me around the rest of the salon which offered spa services. She was nice and I recall feeling let down that the salon experience did not go so well. The price was definitely fair, the distance from me a little farther than I normally travel, but I was hooked on the great phone customer service.
I've been going to Lisa for a few months and love what she has done with my hair. We also have figured out the perfect highlight color. I've very happy with the services she has provided, and the front staff are always very customer focused.
The sad thing is that I have used VC in the past and have been more than satisfied. I am beyond disappointed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
P.S. I also get my son's hair cut here. Lisa does a great job with his hair (and also with mine).
