Best Hair Salons In Portage

“I had the worst experience I’ve ever had at a salon. I went in for a perm yesterday and was told that Erica was amazing at them. Well after she put the rods in my hair, she informed me that she didn’t have the perm solution with the acid in it (the one she usually uses) but that she has a different one she found on the shelf that is made for older women’s hair and that I shouldn’t worry because it will still work. I said okay as long as it will work. Then she proceeded to accidentally put on the NEUTRALIZING solution first before the perming solution. Which she then told me stops the perm… she rinsed it out 20 mins later with the rods still in my hair so I don’t think that you can even rinse it out fully with the rods still in. I asked her many times throughout this horrible process if the perm will still work and she insisted that it will still work I let her keep going. Then she applied the perm solution. After 20 mins she rinsed it out and half dried my hair for it to look EXACTLY the same as when I came in. After doing more research on perms and how if you put the neutralizing solution on first it will definitely STOP the perm from working I knew I had to write this review because I feel lied to. She then said sorry and still charged me the FULL $165 amount. It also took an extra hour and a half because of her mistakes. I am so beyond disappointed and frustrated that I can’t even sleep.

Two months later: Hello! I’m unable to reply to this review, I am not sure why! But yes, the owner is correct below. She called me the next morning and made everything right with the free product and treatment and yesterday I got a free perm! It looks great and I am so impressed with the service and the owner calling me personally to make things right! Thank you so much!“

“Nina offered to clean up my cuticles during a hard gel overlay manicure! It felt so good to get it done! I moved to Michigan in 2020 and could not find someone who could match my prior nail tech until Nina! She does a fabulous job! I get hard gel overlay - it lasts a month or more and looks great!“

“I always have a fantastic experience here! Emily always does an amazing job making me feel fabulous! She does really good color jobs and helps you get to your hair goals!“

“Kristin just finished my brows, and let me be the first to SCREAM from the rooftops-GO SEE HER!!! If you've EVER considered doing permanent brows, this is your sign, friends. Kristin is not only professional, kind, charismatic, fun, and INCREDIBLY talented-but her work-is bar none-the best I've ever experienced. I've had my brows done twice in the past ten years, and my experience was NOTHING like the one I just had. They are PERFECTLY shaped, PERFECTLY colored, PERFECTLY symmetrical, and the pre-instructions and post instructions she sends to you (along with an ADORABLE little after-care package) are a absolutely fantastic as well. The aura of her space inside the salon is calming and quaint, relaxing and well organized. CUTE! I loved every minute. It was truly a 15 out of 10 experience, and you absolutely will not be disappointed with the results. Don't walk, RUN-to Kristin-get your brows DID, y'all-you will fall in love! Thank you SO much for making me feel SO great about my brows and overall look, Kristin! I will recommend everyone comes to see you! ?“
