This was my Second experience with Aalam. Let me first share the fact that my First Experience was impressive. I just care to get my money's worth when it comes to styling and hence do not care about their Welcome Drink or Ambience much. I wanted a different look which I shared with my Stylist and which I did receive. He took his time to listen to me and explain on how we could go forward with it and the end result was impressive. However, I was disappointed the second time. The same stylist gave me a different treatment this time. I felt rushed throughout the whole session. Since he did not recall me or the styling he did the previous time, I thought he would spend some time discussing the same. No luck! I did not insist since I showed the same pic I used as a reference the last time and he just gave a quick glance and I thought he understood what I was looking for. I was wrong and the end result turned out to be far from what I had in mind. He cut my hair too short and I ended up looking like a customer out of a Mom and Pop Salon (they just cut the hair short without styling). On closer look at home the Fading on both sides of the head were not consistent as well. To make thing worse I had a photo shoot on the same day. $75 + Tip down the drain and lost my confidence on Upscale Salons. Guess back to my $15 Salon for now. Reason for my Bad Experience could be : 1) They take returning Customers for granted OR 2) Stylist was having a bad day and I ended up paying for it with a huge loss I believe its #2.

First visit I came in for ombré with photos. Was not to my standards, stylist barely talked to me during full 4 hour session. Hair turned out yellow and very splotchy and chunky brown and the top and yellow at the bottom. Not even and There was no soft transition or blend between colors. Hair was damaged looking and there was no dimension whatsoever. I emailed my disappointment and they gladly brought me back in. My second stylist was great! She did what she could to fix the previous work and was super friendly and talkative. She fixed about 70% of it and I was way more happy! I'm still not overall happy with my hair but it will do until I see a specialist. I don't want to fry my hair off so best to wait a while.

This time actually for the first time I just feel that I spent 70 bucks and no hair cut . My hair are limp and they don’t have any shape . I’m extremely sad this time . They were all good , flowy lustrous when I was at the salon after the wash I feel like they don’t have any layers.

This was my second time with Amanda coloring my hair. First time was pleasant and I got what I wanted. This time I asked for blonde highlights - cool blonde and I left paying $140 and my hair looked exactly as it looked when I walked in. The highlights were still very caramel and I am not pleased . I feel if I had not gone in today there would not be a difference in what I paid for. I don't want to be rude to Amanda but simply this was not what I asked for

I asked for dramatic high low lights so that no matter how I part my hair I can see two different colors. That did not happen. Worst experience ever

I asked for stylist who could advise me on cut and style. She was unable to do so and kept telling me to bring picture of me at some point when I liked my hair. I specifically cane to this high end salon for advise.
