1 /5 Rachel Campeau: Update Jan 2023-Salon has never reached out to me but has responded to all of their 5 star reviews after I left this. I also see that there are a few other reviews from clients that had a terrible experience with Kat. Wondering how she is still working at the salon at this point. I attached most recent picture of my burn where you can see I still have ZERO hair growth.
I was encouraged by my new current stylist to make this review as Im not a confrontational person. February 27th 2021 I had an appointment with Kat for highlights. Everything was going well until I was put under the heat. My head started to feel super hot so I leaned forward out of the heater waiting until Kat came back into the room. (I was in the back room where there was nobody else that Saturday) it was probably about 10-20 minutes before she came to check on me I let her know I was super hot but she said my hair needed a bit more time so back under the heat I went. After a few more minutes my head started burning again, I sat forward out of the heat once again and Kat came back after a few minutes. She was ready to rinse my hair out and at this point Im sure she saw the redness but failed to mention anything. We made it back to the chair for trim and blow dry! The whole time I really just felt an odd pain on my scalp. Again, at this point Im sure she noticed because my hair was not drying where the burn was. It was super oily as it was clearly blistering during this time. I really had no idea it was this bad until I left. Once I was home and really able to take a look and have my husband look as well, he was appalled that I had to pay for any services (mind you I tipped great too) as it was clear as day I had a chemical burn. What I went through for MONTHS after this were terrible! The healing took almost an entire year. It is just now starting to not be sensitive. Constant pain trying to wash my hair, scabbing and bleeding over and over again, my hair has completely fallen out, and will NOT grow back in that spot. Ive been told multiple times that this salon is lucky that I didnt take further action as this was a much more serious situation than I had thought at the time.
