Clearly the owner needs an education in customer service and satisfaction, and does not need business she must be completely financially set.... a little lengthy but worth the read!
I called on January 9th to book an appointment for January 13th 2020. I provided my contact information and asked that if there were any issues with the appointment that they notify me as I worked nightshift on the 12th and would be coming after my shift, my number was confirmed and that was the last I heard.
On Monday morning I arrived to the shop and advised the woman on staff that I had a 9 AM appointment at which time I was told that my stylist had not been feeling the best and that she may not be in but she would try to confirm. I waited until 9:15 and with no answers I left the shop and requested that the owner call me to discuss the situation, I was told that the owner would be in at 1 PM.
I woke up from my nightshift at 3:00 PM and called the shop, no answer.... I waited and tried back at 4:15. I spoke to the stylist that was originally supposed to do my hair and she told me that the owner had changed her schedule and she was not scheduled until the afternoon and that the bookings should not have been made.
I provided my number again (it was captured incorrectly the first two times) requested that the owner contact me.
At 4:30 PM the owner called and advised that she had called the wrong number this morning upon her arrival and left a very lengthy message for Todd.... I am not Todd.
During the call we discussed the situation she placed the blame on me, the stylist that took the appointment and the stylist that I was booked with. She accused me of attacking her and refused to take any responsibility for her salon.
I asked how we could come to a solution for this matter as I am a stylist by trade just no longer in the industry. She checked the schedule and nothing worked with my work schedule and my children's schedule for at least two weeks I asked her what the solution was as I had been to a different stylist at this shop in the past and I had to go back as she didn't get all the way to the roots on my color job so I was leary about trying a different stylist. The owner proceeded to accuse me of blowing the situation out of proportion and being unreasonable. She continued to state that I must not have been in the hair industry for very long as I clearly had no idea that these things happen. I explained to her that the salon I worked in was obviously more concerned about their clientele and had a higher level of customer service skills than she was capable of.
I will not be back if my stylist moves to a different salon then I will follow her but I will not give Milano's any more of my hard earned dollars.
Even a simple apology and I completely understand your frustration would have been better than the way I was treated for their neglect and inaccuracies.
