Julie Graham Beauty & Aesthetics — Local services in Franconia

Do not go here!!!! I never leave reviews anywhere, this is the first review I have ever done because of how bad my experience was. I got my hair dyed here a couple weeks ago. I inserted pictures here, one is the photo I showed Alicia and said this is exactly what I want. The other two is how my hair turned out. I informed her that I had 8 month old, faded dark hair color in my hair from a previous salon I went to, it was not box dye. As I was sitting in the chair while my hair was being styled, it looked ok, still not what I wanted at all, but it looked ok. Alicia told me “It looks so close to the picture” And I believed her. I paid the $240, and left. When I got home and looked at my hair in natural light, I was shocked. My hair was completely fried. The highlights were completely orange, chunky, streaky, and looked nothing like the picture I showed. (The pictures inserted down below do not do it justice). I tried to call right away but they closed. I called again their next business day, and was told Julie would call me. I waited two days and called again to be told Julie was on vacation and to call again tomorrow. I called for a third time asking to speak with her, to be told she was with a client and she would call me back. Out of all these times, no one called me back. I called for the fourth time, only to be told “I spoke to Julie, and she does not think a refund is appropriate”. Well, my whole experience and the amount of money I paid for what I got is definitely not appropriate. I got my hair redone at a different salon, and my experience there was wonderful. The hair dresser was appalled they let me leave Inspirations the way I did. To not even receive a partial refund is completely unacceptable/unprofessional as well as not even receive an...

I entered this establishment with an open mind and heart. I sat in my chair with glee as Alicia began to wash my hair in the shampoo bowl, excited to be doing something for myself. A very normal pleasant experience. OR SO I THOUGHT. I was receiving a full set of highlights. Alicia began to perform the service. Her breath smelled so terrible. Normally I don’t like to comment on things others likely cannot control, but the scent was simply unbearable. Like if she had eaten canned chicken with onions. I tried my absolute best to not notice it but failed. I didn’t mention this to her. When she left my bleach to process I decided to get revenge. I had My daughter bring me some homemade guacamole. I make my guacamole with LOTS of red onions and garlic. I quickly ate some while she was busy with another client. When she came back I made sure to say “hhhhhhhhhhhi Alicia” so she would smell my ogre breath. She rinsed me, and my highlights were ORANGE. no toner or anything was applied. She blow dried it and sent me on my merry way after I paid. Unfortunately for her, the guacamole caught up to me. After I paid I excused myself to the restroom. I unleashed absolute holy hell from my bowels. I spewed a hellfire of colon liquid which can only be described as a war crime. The smell was outrageous. Man oh man did I get my sweet revenge for the smelly breath and the terrible highlights. 0/10...

I made an appointment for the other day to get a haircut. It was my first time coming to this salon. I had been trying to make an appointment with another local salon for 6+months and was getting no where. When I decided to try Inspirations, their reviews looked good and loved that they were local.

I had made an appointment via Google initially (slight social anxiety here) and it was easy. I had to cancel my appointment due to work and called to change it. I was able to make it for the day and time I wanted!

Alicia was wonderful! For my first time, she didn't ask too many questions or talk to much (again slight social anxiety- first time meeting people is awkward for me), she listened to my requests and how I style my hair. She worked with me on making the bottom even, giving me all the layers I wanted and thinning out my thick hair to allow for lightness and movement. She gave me the exact haircut I had wanted.

The price was perfect and I love that they use my favorite hair products-Living Proof! Nice to know I don't have to travel far now to get them!

I will be back and I will recommend this salon to all my local...
