CoCo Hair Designs — Local services in Niceville

I have not pampered myself in years. Probably 20 or so. My husband recently died, and I had to start going again. My daughter made appointments for us for the funeral. She did something really drastic to my hair. I was in a daze so I was like whatever. I needed it cut and thinned really badly. It had been a long while. Dawn got hers done with another hairdresser. She was completely unhappy with the results. Redid it when we got home. I was in shock with mine and afraid I would be made fun of. I was used to getting compliments on my old hairstyle. When we got to gravesite and especially after, by my daughter-in-law and her mother no less I was made a fool of. They kept pointing at me and laughing. Other people stared at me like I was a freak. It was hard to care for too. Next time I asked for a little off and she was upset I didn't like her style and went crazy and chopped it down to a man's cut. I don't like it. I got her full attention and a drink, and felt pampered. I was offered a drink one other time. I always had to wait on her. She is always late for me. Now I am being worked in while she is working on someone else. I don't get the attention. She is in too big of a hurry. This last time she rushed so much because another old lady was waiting to finish her perm. She did a lousy job of cutting, and my hair was still wet when I walked out the door. I don't like being squeezed in. I like my time too. It is the only thing I do for myself and I want to feel pampered, important, made feel welcome, and feel pretty when I leave. I am hurt, and don't feel valued.

It is some better. I am not sure I am her cup of tea. Maybe I don't tip enough. I am a new widow on a fixed income. I never went to get my hair done when my husband was alive. It had been 30 plus yrs when I had to start going. I see so many beautiful hair styles going out the door. I feel like a chopped up mess. My hair is awful to begin with though. Too much of it. Salt and pepper color. Hard to work with. I guess I will never have pretty hair. Thank you for responding. Yes, I keep coming back. I have to have someplace to go. I chose here because of...

Read update below- You know... I haven't gone here but I will now strictly because "Tha Hambone" below says she doesn't recommend it because they "closed early". Anyone that shows up 23 minutes before closing and expects a hairstylist to stay extra hours cutting and styling hair is a jagoff. Dear Hambone, I don't care if you are military (hence your sense of Entitlement) but why do you need to state it? Like you deserve red carpet recognition. The teacher, police officer, garbage collector, Tricare rep etc chose their profession just like you.

Dear Ritz Salon, I am booking my appointment immediately and I anticipate being fully pleased with your "Service"!

Update... Hambone lucked out. I went in for a haircut. It was awful. An older woman cut my hair and talked the ENTIRE time all about her life... I can't concentrate on my work if I'm talking and this looks to be the same with her- my hair was supposed to come out with soft layers but it looked like a choppy rectangle. And she didn't blow dry/ style it- so I didn't realize the awfulness until I went home and did so. I have a feeling if you take down the Ritz Salon facade, you'll find a Fantastic Sams...

Came to the salon at 6:37pm and pulled the door and it was locked. I looked at the sign in the window and it clearly said TUES closes at 7:00pm. An older lady came to the door and asked if I wanted to buy something because they were closed for hair cuts and I was like ok and thought to myself that all the stylists must have someone at their booths. I sat there for a few minutes trying to locate another hair place and the whole time I was looking there were 3 ladies standing at the counter just chatting. I thought to myself, I guess my rationale that they all had people in their chairs was wrong. All in all this was the second attempt at getting a hair cut at this place and the first time the lady did a horrible job(I mean terrible, and that's the truth)! And my second time they turn me away(laziness?) and did not honor the hours of operation in their own window! Being military who moved to Niceville from out of town, I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE FOR A...
