I went here wanting a balayage. She never asked me my hair condition beforehand. I had some box dye left in my hair because of this she said she could not dye my hair which I understood. She wouldn't tell me what she could do to my hair just what she couldn't so I asked. her husband responded with "not much". I should have left then, which I regret. She said I can touch up your hair which I assumed that ment dye my hair one whole color. Now I have patches of hair that are faded out dye as well as light brown color pieces where dye has left and now I have different color roots because thats all she dyed. My hair is all patchy and different colors. I wanted my hair dyed not half dyed and was charged 85$ which is ridiculous to me considering she said a balayage is around 90-110$. my Bangs where already cut by me she asked if I wanted a cut I said no but If my bangs are not stright can you straighten them out. She barley cut them at all she even said I didn't do much to them I tried to leave them long. I never told her my bangs were unmanagable which she claimed. I was charged 15$ for this. I find unreasonable considering she didn't cut bangs. Also on thier website they say first time customers get 10$ off thier hair cut which they didn't mention but what they did mention was if I gave a 5 star review they will give me 5$ off. This is why you see so many 5 star reviews. When I got home and noticed how patchy my hair is and how much I was charged for what I didn't even make a appointment for I changed my review to 2 stars and didn't write anything. She decided to text me saying I should have contacted her and I had a poor character because I was unhappy with my hair lol ok . It seems she wrote me because she was so upset with my review. I guess her saying I had a poor character and telling me I needed to contact her first before leaving a review was her way to get me to change it. It worked I did change it. It went from a 2...
Read moreI can’t begin to capture how fortunate I feel to have found Melinda & French Coiffure salon. After coming to AZ over a year ago, I was searching to find a stylist that matched the expert skills of the one I’d had in Chicago for 20+ years.
I tried several stylists but was not happy with either the technique/end result. I was very lucky, a good friend of mine moved here from Chicago discovered Melinda and highly recommended her. As it turns out, Melinda was a top educator and trainer for the same salon my stylist was at in Chicago!!
Melinda is an outstanding stylist. She does a precision cut on my hair and it’s perfection. I’m fussy and have the challenge of a very level eye so I know what a good cut should be. She also does amazing color. I get compliments on my hair all the time, in stores, in church!! I like to think I’m a walking advertisement for her but all of her clients are. She’s that good.
I should add that the salon is very comfortable - Melinda’s husband Doug is terrific, oversees the salon and now has recently become a stylist himself. We are so lucky to have Melinda and Doug here in Sun City West. Hoping this helps everyone looking for a great...
Read moreI am from Oregon and have been a snowbirder in Arizona for the past 6 years during the winter months. I desperately needed a hair makeover and had no idea where to go. At 65 years of age I had semi gray hair with highlights from my previous salon. The grow out was glaring at me and I needed a new look. My hair was limp dull and thin. I was looking for a miracle person who could make my dreams come true and solve my hair problems. After searching for weeks reading review after review I read about Melinda. OMG, I have found my person. When I called I was desperate. Melinda was really booked out for weeks and I was so sad. When I told her I couldn't wait she worked with me and got me in in about a week and a half. She is to me hands down the best hairdresser on the planet. She worked my miracle! This girl know her stuff. The cut was spot on. The color was spot on and my grow out matches the coloring which no one has ever accomplished. I purchased the REF products from her and fell in love. Her pricing is competitive with other high end salons and she is worth every penny. Remember you get what you pay for. When I'm in Arizona...
