    Ordered a 2-hour delivery order on a Sunday afternoon so I knew it would be delivered the next day. When it was delivered it was delivered to an old address AND they picked up the order from another store that I DID NOT select that was actually further from my actual address and the old address. I selected the store nearest my address that had ALL ITEMS IN STOCK. Yet when I received my order the main thing I needed was missing and they switched the pick up store. I already knew the other locations didn’t have all the items. I’m so irritated because now I still have to go to the store and the items are no longer on sale. Waste of time and money. Never again.

    I did an online order because I am currently without transportation. I am on a fixed budget and decided to splurge on some biotin hair oil. I bought hair dye and Difeel biotin hair oil. The hair oil they gave me was basil and castor! I did not order or want that! The tricky part is by it being online the receipt actually said what I ordered but evidently they were out and instead of changing receipt and acknowledging it was out of stock they just gave me ANYTH

    I've been a customer at Sally Beauty for years. I rarely return items, if ever. I had to return an item to the store, the clerk tried to make me show her my banking app to show her that I wasn't refunded the amount by my bank, she issued me a gift card, told me not to use it for 3 days at least. (My bank posts refunds immediately). Anyway, when I return almost 2 weeks later to spend the gift card, she follows me around the store, watching every move I make. She is so rude. When people enter the store, she asks "what you want, what you looking for?" Not hello, etc.

    I've ordered online, nail polish hasn't been wrapped, broken and all over the box, some were sold out, but they let me order anyway. It's available when I order, but why is mine not sent? Everyone else gets theirs. This has happened on more than 5 occasions. Also, don't use FedEx if you can. They will deliver to the wrong house, show you a pic of a pkg on a doorstep. They tell you go look around your neighborhood for that doorstep and pkg. I have provided other people items due to FedEx misdelivered pkgs.

    I'm so over Sally Beauty, they will issue you rewards on your app, only for them to disappear, or the cashier not to accept them. Today, I attempted to use $25 worth of rewards, the app wouldn't accept my address, so I called and customer service was not a help. I told them I would just go in store. Voila! Rewards gone! Another call to customer service says I redeemed them. I told them no, check again. The cs person told me try again tomorrow. No, thank you. This company is the bane of my existence. They are a wish version of Ulta.

    I have been going to this store since it opened. I use to go to the one by Kmart. Anyway don’t waste your time here they never have what you need. Everyone in Brighton must use the same golden brown color I buy. Because they only ever have one box or none like today. I will be looking to take my business elsewhere. Sally’s continues to waste my time. I’m getting too old to be told every time it will be here on the next delivery. Then I go in to buy it and they still have none. This store really does surprise me they still are opened. I will not be helping them stay open any further.

    I've always had great experiences with Sally Beauty until the last couple of months. I usually trust the staff to provide me with their help in choosing the products that will provide the best results for my haircare. But... First of all, the inventory is always low or nonexistent for the products I need. And no one is able to tell me if or when they will be in stock. Secondly... The last couple I've gone into the Newnan, Ga store, the woman working was not what I've come to know re employees at the that store. She isn't inviting and is off-putting re suggesting a replacement product that I could use in place of the one I usually buy. I thought selling was important to the company.

    Do not buy any appliance from Sally’s. In order to return it, you must purchase a warranty or you can not return it for any reason, even the very next day. I paid over 100 dollars for a blow brush. It was missing screws, therefore I didn’t even turn it on. Thankfully, I had accidentally clicked yes on the screen on the warranty prompt. It is ridiculous to literally have to pay for protection against faulty craftsmanship.

    I have been going to Sally Beauty Supply for many years. I loved the store and service. Recently, I have been very disappointed! A few months ago I bought my usual hair color and developer ~ Argan Oil Permanent hair color and developer. I used the product, and THE COLOR DID NOT TAKE. I told the GV store, and my complaint was brushed under the table. I waited until yesterday to do my hair as I did not want to damage my hair. Thinking that it might be a bad batch as I have been using this product for years, I bought my usual hair color and developer. Again. THE COLOR DID NOT TAKE AT ALL. My review was removed from the Sally Beauty website. Upon reading the reviews, I am NOT the only one who experienced this with this product. There are many of us customers who report this and are being ignored. The product is still on the shelf and being sold. ZERO stars from me.

    Date of transaction: 07/22/2024 Purchase amount: $56.62 Complaint: I placed an order online for 2-hour delivery. The order was delivered to the wrong house. I contacted the delivery driver who said he was unable to do anything about it. So, I contacted Sally Beauty Corporate, to which I was informed that I can only receive a refund if the products are returned. However, I cannot return something that I do not have, I expressed my dissatisfaction and was still refused a refund. A photo of the items on a doorstep was sent to my phone, to which I was able to confirm that it was not my door. My dad walked down the street of our neighborhood and could not find the items on any of our neighbors' doorsteps. Won't be trying that delivery service again.

    Don't order anything that tells you 4 for $30 or 5 for $20 or whatever they've concocted. It CLEARLY states their Generic Kenra Hairspray (both sizes 10oz & 14oz) are 4 for $30. When you click on the actual product it states in red "4 for $30" pick a size. I clicked on 4 of the 14oz but it did not give me the discounted price so I called customer service. After being on hold for almost 30 minutes and the lady going back and forth with someone else there, she said the 14oz is not offered when it clearly states it is. Instead of honoring what i see and then correcting it they said they could only give me a 15% discount on my order...NOT!!! I have the screen shot and I will contact an attorney for misrepresentation of their product.

    I ordered hair dye online and received a confirmation that it would be delivered within two hours and I was charged for the 2hr delivery. But the website is not set up correctly to tell you that there is a cut off time and I was charged for a 2hr delivery that is coming the next day which would have been about 5 dollars cheaper. Bogus. I will not order online from Sally's again.

    Extremely poor online customer service. I placed an order online on 5/16/24 (Hair colors cream) and was offered the 2 hours window delivery. However, my order was never delivered. When I called to Sally's CS inquiring about my order, according to Sally's CS/Elsa, Sally's online had cancelled the order, but she could not explain "why it was cancelled and returned to the store." I have an account with Sally's, but they never sent me a cancellation email. Nothing! Elsa from Sally's CS blame it on the delivery company. However, while in the phone with Sally's online CS /Elsa I saw the charge of my order to my credit card. Elsa could not explain why that had happened. I called my CC and asked them to not accept/dispute the charge. Poor online Customer service Sally Beauty supply! It is not the first time it happens to me. I just had forgotten about it until it happened again. The last time I had to go and buy items from the store directly.

    DO NOT EVER use Sally's Beauty Ion Brilliance Color Permanent hair dye! I have been a loyal Pro customer for over a decade and never had any issues with any products. This is now the 4th time I've ordered the same colors (though today I went with a darker color, which didn't change anything). When you open the tube, the usual color is a cream color until you mix it with the developer, as anyone who uses this method knows. The last 2 times I ordered my colors, the dye is coming out fluorescent pink! I thought maybe they changed their formula. NOPE! Not only did my hair come out orange instead of intense red but it gave me hot roots and didn't cover the grays around my face.

    I called customer service (in India) but I was told I can return the dye to my local store. I asked, "If I dyed my hair the last 2 times, why would I still have the dye and do you think I just leave the boxes and used tubes in the garbage for over a month." Her response... "Then there's nothing we can do for you." I had a few choice words before telling her I'll blast Sally's all over the Internet. And here we are. I believe this is product that has been sitting in a warehouse due to the "supply chain" and now they're just trying to get rid of it. Don't waste your money or time!

    I shop at Sally's regularly, whether by mail, walk-in or same-day delivery. Omg, this is hard to write, I think I was surprised with how I was treated. I came in for a return, 2 packs of sponge rollers and received a damaged product through same-day delivery. I know the policy, patronize Sally's for the last 8-10 years or longer. So, I am aware of the return policy. The salesperson didn't know how to do a return, she pulled out her cellphone to call the manager. The manager come from the back, looked at the paper and flat out said, "I CAN NOT GIVE YOU CASH FOR IT." I never ask for cash back; I ask can she put it back on my card. I also, said I have proof what card was used.

    Reminding her, "I used SAME DAY DELIVERY," "You have to use a card." Told me I have to get put on a gift card because they don't carry it. But they were able to scan the items and the item was in their system. I continue to question her, why she assumed I wanted cash back. She ignored me and tended to the next customer. I am not sure, how I looked in her eyes, I was dressed in my salon uniform, which I am the owner. I never gave the impression of someone trying to do whatever she assumes. I walked in with a smile and calm manner. The amount of money I have spent here and the service I received, broke my heart. I sat in my car and cried; I was really hurt. Now, I have to change where I shop professionally, due to the service I received on this day.

    First time I went into this Sally’s about two months ago I was with my fifteen year old daughter only going in to get toner for her hair. Being in the hair industry as well as sales in the past I was fully aware of what I needed and being a single mother on a budget went in to be confronted with the most pushy sales lady I ever came across. I understand that sales is her job however when I tell you this lady I came to know to be Jess. Was literally throwing things in my bag telling me I needed it to do my daughter’s hair not one or two things multiple things. Not wanting to start a confrontation in front of my teenage daughter I told her I didn’t need it however she continued to bring it up and throw the items in my bag. I was completely appalled and so turned off by her demeanor yet again didn’t say anything bc I didn’t want to argue with a sales lady in front of my child.

    The second time I much was only just a few days ago I again was in front of the same pushy sales lady Jess that I had come across the last time. This time I was with my three year old daughter trying to get what I needed and go. When I got to the register Jess again was telling me I should buy this or that and I kindly declined. When I declined she gave me an attitude like I was being stupid and completely talking down to me. I told her very calmly and as nice as possible that she was very pushy and how horrible my last experience was. She wouldn’t ring me out and continued to stand there and yell at me and tell me she was going to refuse me service.

    When I repeatedly asked her to just ring me out so I could go as to not upset my three year old daughter she continued to refuse then waited for another customer to walk in and said “I’m going to need you to stop yelling and being belligerent or you're going to have to leave the store” so that the lady thought I was doing as much. I couldn’t believe it bc I didn’t raise my voice or get “belligerent once. Nor did I raise my voice once.

    I asked her yet again to just ring me out so I could leave and as I was walking out she was yelling derogatory remarks to me as I was walking out of the store again with my three year old on my hip. This lady is the most ignorant, rude, pushy and sneaky sales lady I have ever met. If I spoke that way to my customers not once but twice I would have been fired in the spot. When I called Human Resources department to make a complaint I asked to get a call back so I knew what the outcome was and have not ever heard back. Also the lady Jess was being rude to the elderly lady who was before me in line and was exchanging brief words with her not nearly as heated but still. Point being I will NEVER go to this Sally beauty again if any at all because of the way it was handled or not handled after the fact on top of the two worst experiences in a retail store that I’ve ever had!!!

    I have been shopping with Sally Beauty for years. I placed an online order for pickup in the store, and it was canceled by the store. I went to a different store to purchase my item, and found out that for the fourth or fifth time I did not have my rewards discount returned. I was told I was not entitled to it because I already used it. It's true it's only $5, however these small amounts add up. Especially if they rip people off all over the country.

You can’t trust this company for taking payments anymore via using your check routing and or even your Visa. Once I have it paid in full since they want me to keep paying more than my actual amount my card will be shredded and I will pay cash and or find a store that I can truly Trust!

    I purchased an Andis set of trim clippers on 9/3/2023. However, the store associate who rung me up never explained that there was an extended warranty for 2 years on top of the one year's warranty Sally's supply.. The receipt never said anything about it either. It says, "Love it or return it guarantee!" I found out about the extended warranty from their website, I contacted Sally's and got 3 different responses via email. Very conflicting email telling me to use certain links to get the warranty. But the last email said that they only honor it at the time of sale.

    The associate NEVER told me about it although it was only 2-3 days later!!! She also said that corporate doesn't do returns on clippers. Is this a man thing and you can only return women's products??? I tried to return it and the store associate said I couldn't and she had a sign somewhere but couldn't find it?!?!

    I ordered and received six cans of Frozen Stiff hairspray from Sally Beauty, which has been off the market for a while and just returned. While it doesn't sound like much, the cost was over $60.00. The cans are different than in previous orders, so clearly they have a new manufacturer and this may have contributed to the problem. I thought this was something they might like to investigate, as the shipping box and its contents arrived wet. Maybe these new cans are not right for shipping?

    When I sent them an e-mail asking for a replacement shipment (there have been 12 e-mails, back and forth now, actually), they continued to ask me the same questions over and over, while avoiding the concept of taking any action. Which can leaked? How would I know? They're all wet! The box is wet. The cans are metal; you cannot see through them. You'd have to weigh them to know which cans leaked. All I wanted was the product I paid for in the condition promised. Their customer service is beyond horrible and I would avoid ordering from them online at all cost. I have photos of the product and the shipping box, which I've shown them. They just do not offer much in the way of customer service. Very disappointing transaction.

    I went in Sally Beauty to pick up a few things and at the checkout I had a few things from the clearance section. The cashier Vanessa proceeded to tell me how she couldn’t give me the discount because the customers come in and change the prices as she peeled the 1.09 tag off to show me the sale tag of 1.59. I have a Pro card so it was still a small discount. I was truly embarrassed because she did it in front of other customers. To argue with a customer over .20 cents and accuse them of switching tag is so unprofessional and tacky. If the store has a problem with theft then that should be taken up with management and not taken out on the customers!!

I called in and a gentleman said they’d issue a refund but of course I never got it. Called again and got a completely different answer and the lady said I never ordered the bundle that’s why I didn’t get color. I clearly ordered the bundle as I got everything but the color. She said the store didn’t know what they were doing and that I had to go back and try again. I can’t figure out who’s lying and doesn’t know their job. It’s frustrating because no one can figure out how to refund my stuff. I obviously don’t need a bowl and brush if I have no color to put in my hair. I’ll never buy from them.

The manager said "Well she shouldn't have told you that but we're not taking them back."

    I recently tried out Sally's "2 Hour Delivery", and a system glitch turned it into an ORDEAL. This in itself is not a big deal, but when I contacted customer service to figure out why my 2 hour delivery wasn't there 5 hours later, customer service was SO RUDE. A chat rep who goes by "Sherlyn W" disconnected our chat when I requested to speak with a supervisor about getting the product I ordered with same day delivery. Same day -- she CANCELLED my order without my permission, and said I'd have to wait 3 days for the hold on my account to be refunded.

    When I called the phone hotline, I was told "Sherlyn W" had arranged for me to get a callback from a supervisor the next day, and that there were literally NO supervisors on the clock - a blatant lie; I've worked in call centers before. When I asked to be transferred to another (hopefully more competent) agent, I got someone who was polite and possessed a prefrontal cortex and I was on the phone with a supervisor in like 5 minutes. I got my issue resolved with a few minutes of polite conversation -- but getting their through the RUDE, dismissive agents was very much an unnecessary ordeal.
