Invidia Hair Design
Reviews
I have never written a Google review before but, my wonderful experience at this salon deserved one! I found Invidia through the recommendations of a couple friends, and I booked my appointment with Marcella. Now I had been growing my hair out for the past 7 years and desperately needed a change. However, I know you can't trust just anyone with cutting your hair and I'm always a little nervous seeing someone new. But Marcella blew me away; first of all she is so sweet and friendly, but also she is meticulous with her work. She made sure my hair was exactly the way I wanted it down to the T. She's even shipping the 10 inches of hair I chopped off to donate. She really cares about her clients and you can tell she enjoys what she does. The salon is clean, adorable, decorated nicely, not to mention the rates are extremely reasonable. I'll be going there from now on to get my hair done! Thank you ladies :)
They're great if they do the job correctly but if they screw your hair up they will not refund you at all and will ask you to come back, even though they couldn't do it right the first time. Rosalia is the co-owner, she will dodge your calls and ignore your emails. The business is ran in a very shady and unprofessional manner. Go to Wyldology instead, its right down the street.
I never usually write reviews, but was so happy with my last experience that I felt it necessary to say something! Christy has been cutting my hair over the past 2 years, and every time I have loved it! I trust her to do whatever she thinks is best and she has never disappointed! With my hair being very thick it's hard for me to cut my hair shorter, and this is the first time where I've had hardly any issues! The costs are very reasonable, and they take the time to blow out your hair and make sure you are happy with it before you leave. I am constantly getting compliments on my new do and couldn't be happier! The incentives they give you for referring new clients are also great!
I went there this week, because of the reviews I've read before. I used to have a personal hair stylist, but I did move to Henrico because of a new job. So I walked into this store and was served by Katie, because she was available. All I was asking for was a shaping up of my hair cut I had. However, right from the beginning I had the feeling that Katie doesn't has much of experience. She was asking me questions all the time, if it's okay to do it that way and was my hair stylist doing it the same way, etc? Hell, do I have to tell her how to do her job??? They pride themselves that each team member completes an in-salon skill certification. I have the feeling that I could pass that certification myself, because I can hold a scissor. Katie did not use any additional tools available, to cut my hair. She had no clue how to approach the task. She did not divide my hair into sections, to cut it step by step - layer by layer. She was cutting my neck and around the ear with a blade and the hair on the sides and back with a scissor a little bit. The hair on the top she basically did not touch - weird. Then I had to ask her if she has that special scissor to thin out my hair on the top. Then she used it, but I had the feeling that Katie had no idea where to use that scissor to thin out the hair. My hair in the front was cut with an angle, so my left side is shorter than the right side. Even with this cut she did something, but had no idea how to cut it properly. Then at blow drying my hair the same story. She had no clue how to blow dry and how to use the dryer to actually style my hair. After that she used some hair spray, but did not style my hair in any way. She did not use the hair straightener and was always fumbling with my hair, but had no plan. I might give this shop another try in the future, but certainly NOT with Katie. She is a hair cutter at best, but certainly not a hair stylist.
I bought a Living Social voucher for salon services! I finally found the salon that I have always been looking for! I am picky about my hair because in the past I have had very bad haircuts & never wanted to trust anyone again. I looked up the reviews for Invidia before I bought the voucher and I saw the reviews and I had a great feeling before I went in! Elena is the best! She is a Master designer, which means she is more expensive but also meas she has more experience, which I loved. She is the best, she educated me on products and the Cheap products I have been using what it is doing to my hair. Also she showed me how to blowdry my hair because I always love the way my hair looks after I leave the salon but no one has actually coached me and showed me how to get that look, Elena did! She is the best, I am a definate client for life, and I will definately refer all my friends to her because they have a great referral system , If u refer a friend you BOTH recieve $15 off your next salon service! You can't beat that! Thank you Elena & all the Invidia Staff, they are very friendly! I can't wait to go back and I definately see a difference with the new products I bought!
