2 /5 S. Alkinbee: About 8yrs ago I took my daughter here for her birthday. I really wanted her to have what she wanted: To go to a "fancy" salon.
She had just turned 20.
I made the mistake of not dressing up, I guess. I was in jeans and tshirt. I left her baby sister in a toddler onsie outfit. My eldest was in leggings and a long sweatshirt.
We were not dressed like the other women in this salon.
She was seated and explained what she wanted. Long layers, soft fringe framing her face.
They ladies at the salon did not offer her a drink like they offered their other clients. They did not wash her hair.
The hairdresser sprayed my daughters hair till damp and trimmed it a bit. Didnt dry it. Didnt style it.
Said, "Okay, youre done."
I said, "but youre not finished."
My daughter was humiliated and embarrassed. Grabbed my arm and said lets go.
She looked like she was going to cry.
I apologised to her. And we went to the salon at walmart to fix what had happened. They were shocked at her story.
My daughter moved out of the area so she goes somewhere else. Ive never gone back to the Flawless Salon. Never will.
