Yesterday I went to the Green Tangerine Spa in South Windsor for the first time. I was very pleased with my full color and cut although $170 is A LOT of money to me for a cut and color. The hair dresser was very nice and expressed the need of a good shampoo and conditioner for my hair. I usually use Redken Color Care products but she said these products were not good and I should get the Kerastase line to protect the color in my hair. Never in my wildest dreams did I think it would cost over $100 for shampoo, conditioner and treatment. I was in shock when I went to pay but just paid and left. After leaving the salon I started to feel really guilty about spending $289 for my hair which is way above my budget.
Anyway I called the salon today (less then 24 hours) after leaving yesterday to ask if there was anyway I could return the product and I was told no. I guess I learned my lesson the hard way and although I love my hair cut and color I am upset. I am upset because after I left the salon I got on the internet to see what was so special about Kerastase and found that it is part of the L'Oreal group of companies, which includes Lancome, Redken, Garnier, Ralph Lauren, Giorgio Armani, Biotherm, Kerastase, and Vichy, as well as L'Oreal. If Redken is part of this group what is so bad about the Redken product that I was using that is more in my price range?
Additionally, I went on the website for reviews about Green Tangerine Spa in South Windsor and saw 4 bad reviews. Had I read the reviews I would not have gone. Although I liked my cut and color there was NO hot water to wash my hair and the girl had to wash it in COLD water. For the amount of money that I paid I don't see how the Salon could not have hot water to wash our hair.
Nice hairsylist cut and color but not happy with cold water (not her fault) and price of products.
Pros: trendy location
Cons: too expensive
