Natural Dark Brown Hair bleaching

The people here are really amazing super kind and welcoming, but I was just super disappointed with what they did to my hair.

I've been here before for my haircuts and loved it, but for the first time in my life I decided to bleach my hair and trusted them to do it

The first session, my hair was bleached three times. It ruined my hair texture and left it really yellow. I understood that may be the case, but I felt like their expertise should've told them to split it up into more sessions

I was told I could come back in 3-4 weeks for another session. I scheduled my appointment and they rejected me and then told me I had to wait 8-10 weeks.

It's heartbreaking because I was left with this ugly hair color for months, and then they wouldn't even fix it. They charged me a lot to ruin my hair, basically. I'm now going to a different well rated hair salon known for their blonding.

Because of what the salon did to my hair, no salon is willing to bleach my hair again. Only do bleach washes, and it'll take at least 3 to get it blonde enough to even color.

so now it'll be months before I can get to my desired blonde or even get to color my hair because it was so damaged.

I love the people, and I'm sure they're great at coloring, and I love their haircuts, but I can't come back again. It left me with hair I've been super sad and insecure about for months.

I recommend them for certain things, but definitely not for bleaching dark hair.

EDIT: P.S: I've literally NEVER colored my hair before. My hair has been natural for years. I was born with dark hair, never changed it.

Unfortunate the salon owner wants to blame me for their inability to bleach hair and charged me $500 for it.

Instead of bleaching my hair 3 times in one session, they should've been honest and done one or two to at least keep the health of my hair, even if it didn't get as light as possible the first time. But they didn't do that. They bleached it 3 times, refused to fix it, and blamed me for their mistakes.

It's sad to be blamed for their mistakes? Im not trying to shade their business. I'm just sharing my honest experience in the hopes that maybe they learn for the...

I'm not sure even remotely how to start this off. The confidence, comfort, and relief that here has given me in my hair cut feels beautiful and therapeutic in itself. I have never felt so at ease, heard, and welcome in a salon. And respected, I genuinely was not anxious for the first time in a long time about my hair cut. I have had too many bad experiences with cuts and realized that alternative hair salons are the solution and here specifically had incredible reviews.

Gabby was thorough about addressing realistically the issues with my hair, asked me what I wanted to avoid, walked me through the process and bit by bit talked to me through it explaining what she was doing and why it would work. She took my disheveled unkempt rat nest of hair and turned it into what I actually was aiming for while framing it more to my face. She was skillful and very thoughtful in every decision.

The quality and attentiveness from the stylists here is unlike anywhere else I've been and is what hair salons should be striving for. They opened my eyes up that I have been going to the wrong places for far too long and I'm so happy I almost cried looking at my hair because I was in such disbelief at how well it had come out. 100% my go to salon from now on for anything and everything. Thank you so much Gabby for giving me back the comfort of being able to look in the mirror again and smile more.

Miracle...

Where do I even begin? I’ve know Brit for awhile. I was content with my local hair salon and didn’t really see a need to change. Since she’s a mom, and an awesome one at that, I was like hey, let me give her a try and help support her little family.

I DIDN’T KNOW WHAT I WAS MISSING. Seriously, she is so knowledgeable and dedicated to her field. And she is so freakin talented! The first time I went to her, I had just given birth (seriously like just a couple weeks after, mama was desperate). She did something so fun with my hair, I walked out of the salon and i cried. after 9 months of carrying a human inside me, a long 36 hour labor and then being basically a cow for the first few weeks after... She lifted me up! She gave me pep, made me feel human again. I started getting compliments on my hair, which has never happened before.

I was hooked.

I haven’t seen another hairstylist since, and I never will. She knows me personally, knows about my life, she knows about my hair. Like she’s a legit expert on my personal hair type. And every time I walk out of that salon, I feel hot af like I should be going out to the club instead of home to feed my kids.

You go for hair, but you stay...
