This place was nice, but on the more expensive side. For my first appointment, I got a color and cut, which was done very well— the gal who cut my hair did exactly what I asked for, and did it well.
I was, however, disappointed with the customer service I received, after my next appointment, which I made in order to have hair extensions installed. As it was my first time getting them, I trusted my stylist, when she told me that the hair would blend with my natural curls— even tho the extensions themselves were quite straight and not curly at all. After I spent upwards of $600 and took an entire day out of my schedule to have them put in, I looked into the mirror and cried, because every extension appeared straight in my naturally curly hair. The stylist was unable to make them blend, and although I told her that I wore my hair naturally curly, she straightened it before I left (see profile pic) in order to have the straight extensions blend in.
When I complained and showed the owner of the establishment, instead of correcting their very obvious mistake, both owner and stylist assured me that the look would “resolve” as I became accustomed to the extensions, and that I should just straighten my hair every day— although I blatantly explained up front that I had wanted curly extensions. I went the following week to another salon to have them removed; the stylist there was appalled at the look I had been told was just fine by the folks at Christine Marie’s.
I’ve chalked this up to a VERY expensive mistake, and regret that I entrusted my head of hair (& my wallet) to the folks here. It’s taken me over a year to write this review, because the experience still upsets me.
