I wanted to add a lift to my natural hair color... some deep browns with auburn. I said I am going to a wedding this coming weekend and wanted something to take out my gray hair coming in. The hair stylist showed me a picture of Sandra Bullock from her personal notebook. I thought that would be great. She planned to just do a tint to my natural color to make it deeper and then go through with reds. I thought that sounds right after we both looked at the picture - that is what I'm getting... right - wrong. I got a deeper color overall but then there were RED stripes in my hair!!! It was a red like you would see on a candy cane. I was upset, but still pleasant to the girl. I told her expect this red... it isn't at all like the Sandra Bullock picture she showed me. She said it would wash out over time. Then I reminded her I am to go to a wedding this weekend - not just any wedding, but that of my brother and I will be in family pictures. Then she said I can take you back to detox your hair then. She walked me back to the hair wash station and she was very awful to me. She didn't lift the foot rest and she didn't put a towel down for my neck. This was her fault and I wasn't even mean and here she is being unprofessional. Then we went back to her color station and the color was the same. I said this just wouldn't work. She said she could go through my hair again and put in a darker brown to help. Okay, she did this. Once done, it looked really bad. I still had streaks of red but helter skelter and then chunks of dark brown. I still paid my fee. I left there very unhappy. I made an emergency appointment at a top salon in MPLS. They couldnt' believe a place would do something like this. They said it was a 90's way of applying foils. They would never have put real "RED" in light brown hair!!! Bad work... by the way, my same night of the appointment at Salon 200, I had a bikini wax - she didn't trim, and the result was hair breaking off - not pulling out... bad service too.
Pros: Good location
Cons: Hair coloring and waxing
