      I booked an appointment for a full balayage through the Phia Salon (755 N. High Street, Columbus, OH) website. The following day, I added a haircut to the appointment. Though the website claims the stylist would contact the client before the appointment, I was not contacted. When I went to my appointment, I confirmed with the stylist that I wanted an ash brown balayage. I had a balayage done at another salon in March 2023 and I wanted to get the service again, but with a different color, ash brown. I showed inspiration photos to the stylist who suggested that the color was too light and she also suggested that I get traditional highlights as she thought it would give me my desired hair color. I was in the salon for more than 4 hours and left with a hair color that was no where near ash brown. Four days after the appointment, I contacted the salon to get in for an adjustment to get my hair color to ash brown but was given the round around for 5 days and the issue is still unresolved. After communicating with the Operations and Guest Care Manager for Phia Concepts Salons who insinuated that I did something to my hair to make it red instead of ash brown, I asked for a refund, but only for the color. Multiple times I offered my availability to stop in the salon for an adjustment and the Phia Salon team has not booked an appointment for me. I do not know why this situation has snowballed the way that it has. I simply wanted to get my hair color to ash brown which was my goal before, during, and after the appointment. The Phia Salon site has a statement that they "guarantee their work and to contact the salon as soon as possible if the end result is not perfect. I did just that and am going around in circles with a group of 3 from the salon, including the owner, Elizabeth. I think a mediator may help us through this. I have never had this type of experience at a salon and since this is an upscale salon that charges exorbitant prices, I expect more.

      So I literally didnt get hired at a hair salon because I wasnt cute enough They said that Im the first one customers see and I wasnt up to the standard they were looking for in terms of the beauty standard of their salon They wanted me to do a work from home situation where I would schedule at home I said if you are hiring people based on looks your looking at beauty the wrong way its not just about looks its about empowering one another and uplifting not bashing people and making them feel less than or making people feel more insecure about how they look and I refuse to work for a company that bases their standards that way Put the uglies in the basement thats real empowering Thats how people f****** hurt themselves It just ***** because I had the experience and the drive but I guess Im too ugly for them And I should have known the way she kept emphasizing to be cute. Thank god now that I look on it Im not wanted because I refuse to work for a company who basis things on gap teeth or a lighter complexion. I refuse to apologize for what I said. I want customers to know that their beauty standards are based off looks versus personality and finding the beauty inside.
