    Sally has terrible customer services, I orders proclaim gel from them often, the order is always sent back to them once it is shipped out by the post office in California, because the items are all damaged. The warehouse is not putting enough packing support in the boxes for the hard plastic items that will break. Customer services has said to me several times that there is nothing they can do but send the warehouse an email asking them to package the items more secure. Not happening.

    Have been a loyal 20+ year customer until last week when I purchased 2 large bottles of product and was told a simple bag to carry these large bottles out would be an extra 15⍧. Seriously? I spent $35+ just that day alone and they want another 15⍧. They certainly don't need my money or business moving forward... Or my family's... Or my circle of friends. Greedy businesses are becoming the trend and they certainly have the option to upcharge for anything they choose. And we all have the option to support other more customer oriented businesses with our hard earned income. Will NEVER set foot in another Sally Beauty Supply store.

    On August 31, 2021 I bought 2 bottles of OPI nail polish at the North Etobicoke store off of Islington Ave, store # 5502. Normally the staff is helpful, cheerful, and can't do enough for you, always a pleasure to shop there. The sales person was stuck for an answer when I said "good morning." I then realized that she was in a ** mood. I grabbed the bottles of nail polish, and got ready to pay and make a fast getaway. The clerk barked at me if I was ready to pay. I walked to her cash, she then barked, I'm going to the other cash. Then why stand at the first one, or was it just another reason to ** at me.

    Under the recent pandemic circumstances, I would of thought that the stores that have finally opened up, would be ready for business and people happy to be back at work making a salary. Not in this case. I'm not sure who this person is to the store, owner or manager, or just a clerk, but my goodness, stay home if that's all you have to offer is ** to your customers. I spent $32 on nail polish in about 2 minutes. I will never return to that store again. Fortunately there are lots of other stores in my area to buy products. I'm not sure if this incident was racially motivated or not, but no one deserves to be treated like I was. Don't shop at this store!

    Terrible experience at N. Scottsdale 87th st. location!! I dealt with a rude counter person who refused to issue a credit because I would not provide my phone number. This is NOT part of their return policy. I had my receipt, the product was bought a week ago, and in unused condition. I am filing a complaint for both a violation of their own return policy and a violation of my privacy.

    This product has been the worst investment I have ever made. The hair extensions show because the band is so thick that the hair is attached to. IT's not like I can just throw that money around so I want everyone to know you do not stand by your company or brands that you sell. I am so upset. I can not afford to purchase the other ones that I purchase all the time because I trusted Sally's. Never again. I'm filing a formal complaint with the state attorney general's office once I am done with this review. Also contacting the BBB. If I could leave a 0 I would.

    If I could I would rate zero!! This is my first experience ordering online with Sally Beauty, and I must say it was a terrible experience!! I received someone else's order!! In the box was this person's personal information, which to me is a huge security breach! I called the customer service number asking if I could have my delivery next day, as I had booked an appointment with a hairstylist to come to my home this Sunday April 11, and I was told that wasn't possible!! Why not?!! This mistake was not mine, why wouldn't Sally do everything to make their mistake right, and to keep a customer!!!

    So I always get my hair dye at Sally's, only because I don't know where else to go. I asked for a stain free stick, she gave me a cleaner. There were no swatches on the dyes. I was not told that I needed a color corrector. No caps were offered to me and I forgot I needed one. I asked many questions and got very few answers. I need a new place!!!

    My husband purchased clippers on Friday 3/19. Told the clerk he wasn't sure if these were the ones he needed and would return them if they weren't. Got home, opened them and they were too big so I went to return them on Saturday 3/20. I was told that because the box was torn they could not refund me. Even though the store manager confirmed they had not been used and we didn't have them 24 hours and the receipt was there, there was nothing we could do. The store manager was very rude and acted as if I offended her by trying to make a return. The two customer service agents I spoke with over the phone were nice but basically said, "Oh well." The email I sent pretty much got the same response.

    I just wasted $66 when I followed all of their guidelines. If a sale is final that should be made known. But Sally's is a company who is just looking to make a dollar and could care less about their customers. They just lost my business and I wouldn't advise anyone to spend money here! Take your business where it's appreciated and you're treated with respect. I definitely wouldn't give one star if it wasn't required. They deserve nothing.

    I needed to get information about an online order that didn't have everything I ordered in stock. I called the customer service number which informed me my wait time would be, yes approximately, 10 minutes. They do offer a call back but as a professional stylist I don't take calls if I'm with a client!! They need a pro only number. After 29 minutes on hold I finally got an answer. She was very nice but at first didn't do the math right and I had to ask her to check it and do it again.

    Purchased four items online. Was charged for all four. Got an email later that afternoon saying one item was not available (should have said online that the item was out of stock before I placed my order). That would have been nice. After receiving the email saying I would not be charged for that item that was unavailable, I looked on my online banking and saw that I was charged. Called the Sally's customer service number. She said that amount was just pending and a new amount would be applied. I thought the problem was solved. NOPE! Woke up the next morning and checked my online banking. Saw a new charge for that item that was unavailable. Tried to call the customer service number but they are only available Monday through Friday.

    Received my other three items today in the mail. One of my items was crushed by my conditioner and shampoo bottles. The outside of the box was not damaged. This was caused by poor packaging. Wrote a letter to corporate stating that I threw away my Sally's card. So...I was charged for four items, was told the problem was fixed, was charged a separate time for the unavailable item and then received a damaged item... WOW! UNBELIEVABLE! HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!

    Used my rewards, placed my online order, many items were no longer available, that were promised to be delivered and my rewards applied, then sent an email no longer available and the items that were I could not apply my rewards on???? I am so fed up with Sally’s acting like they’re giving you something and then taking it back. It’s either damaged, short changed, or certain specials do not apply or you don’t receive them. Thank you but no thank you! Also store prices in one line prices may differ - the manager of the store told me she will match online prices!

    The worst shipping I have ever seen in my 50 years of living. They have no business being a online store. 3 times I have tried and 3 times has not been a charm. Once took my order and even said it was shipped and it never came. When I called they said, "We don't even have it shipped because we were low on those products." For weeks your order will say processing after they have took the money out of your bank. Once it was so long I forgot I had even ordered it.

    I’m a long time in-store shopper & I spend enough money in their stores that I would expect someone or anyone to at least try to help me when I had problems with the errors in one of my 1st online orders. After my favorite barrel style hair brushes were discontinued in-store I went to their online site. I ordered 30 of one style & 15 of the other. The order was confirmed & a hold put on my credit card.

    A few days later I received an email stating that the 30 was reduced to 9 brushes & the 15 was reduced to 0 brushes. Seriously? I went from 45 brushes to 9 brushes on a confirmed order? Then Sally’s opts to ship 9 hair brushes in 3 separate boxes all delivered on different days. (FYI - all 9 brushes could have fit in the 1st box.) The first box is OK & has 3 brushes as expected. The second box has only 1 brush even though the packing slip says 3?? So 2 are missing. The third box shows up a few days later & has 3 brushes but they are not the brush that I ordered. In fact they are so different that they are NOT USEABLE.

    I ordered round ceramic boar bristle brushes with blue plastic grip handle & I received a flat wooden brush that looks & feels like it’s a bbq grill cleaning brush!

    I’ve tried going in store to make it right. No help there cause they no longer sell my brush in store. They did try to call customer service but we never got through and I got fed up and left. I don’t have hours & hours of time to waste on chasing their mistakes. I have a job & a family & my time is precious. Would it be acceptable if I were shopping in store & made the cashier wait 40 min for me to pay them? I’ve tried calling customer service myself on several different phone numbers and they all say it’s approx a 10 minute wait but I usually give up after 40 minutes. I’ve tried putting my phone number in the queue and they’ll call me back but they never do.

    I’m canceling my Sally’s credit card that I just opened up a month ago and I’m disgusted with how pathetic their customer service is for an online order process that they screw up. They took my money & didn’t send me what was ordered. I’m calling my credit card company today to put a stop on their payment. AND my next order looks like it’s turning out to be the same but the details on that have not fully unfolded yet. So far on that one look like my items went from 10 down to just 1 & they’ve charged my card & used up my Sally rewards and are sending only a 99cent! WTF. I’m so done with Sally’s on-line orders. If I could’ve rated Sally's at zero stars I would have... Steer clear of Sally’s online orders! You will live to regret it!

    Soon after placing an order, my PayPal account was charged. Usually with online orders the merchants, processes and ships the item/s before charging your card. Not only Sally Beauty charged my paypal account immediately, I received an email 3 days later informing me that the order is delayed with unknown status as to when the new promised delivery date will be. When I went on site to email customer service, I noticed that the status was "in process", meaning it had not even been shipped. So I requested to cancel my order. The response comes next day saying they will not cancel the order!

    The following day I received notice that they had trouble charging my credit card!! When in fact I paid with pay pal not CC. They are a bunch of liars. I'll never order from them again and as a matter of fact I'll never be their customer. I ordered online, because last time I went to an actual Sally's store, which is an hour away, the items (hair color) I bought were used! Half the color was gone with satin on the tip of the tubes and yet put back on the shelf! Since both the store and online have service problems as described, I don't recommend them to anyone.

    They have the absolute worst online customer service. I can't come in store due to living with someone who's high risk for COVID-19 so I tried twice to inquire about products but each time was met with a zero information, copy pasted unhelpful answer. They have a product recommendation subcategory for their customer support form BUT they give no help and no product recommendations, almost as if they don't want to help people actually make purchases...which is bizarre. What is customer service coming to these days? There are so many companies going this route, basically offering no customer service...and it's a mistake. I have zero confidence in your company now. You aren't willing to even recommend me your own products for sale to assist me in making a purchase! That is ABSURD.

    Beyond that, all customer service replies are sent via a "no reply" email so you can't respond to their unhelpful answer and be like, "Hey, you didn't actually give an answer...could I please receive an answer?" And you can't rate the help you received. You're left unheard and with no recourse. Look, I never leave reviews on these kinds of sites but I'm so fed up with this unhelpful "service" that I'm here to speak out. HELP YOUR CUSTOMERS. Ignoring customers is not a good business practice. Yes, it takes more effort and money to provide decent customer service...but you will get more repeat customers and more new customers rather than bleeding customers.

    First let me start by saying that I am a long-time customer of Sally Beauty with a professional rewards account. I spend tons of money at their stores. This past weekend I bought hair extensions Sassy brand. That is the brand that Sally manufactures. It claims to be hundred percent human on the package. I wear wigs and extensions almost every day of my life for the last 20 years so I am familiar with hair. First I must say that the Swatch was not a match at all to what was in the package. The package turned out to have pinkish colored hair on one side and yellow blond on the other. I did not see that until I got home.

    I went back to the store where the two girls that were working at the store on Alma School and Warner in Chandler Arizona told me that the hair is human so should color fine. I knew the hair felt kind of funny. It felt a little wiry not still be like human hair would be. But I bought color anyway. When I put the color in a strand test on two different types of colors one came out a bluish silver I used to 9A that it also forces. On the other strand I use an age beautiful yellow and that came out purple. Water got a burnt look and a bird temperature almost as if you would burn your own human hair with a lighter or a match that the hair looks like.

    I went back to the store and was told there's nothing that they could do but they gave me the customer service number. Customer service was closed on the weekend so I went down to one of their other locations in Tempe. One of the ladies that actually work at the store told me purchased a pack of sassy extensions last month. She also tried to color and was unsuccessful but she tried to wash as well and her hair also developed a burnt look making it unusable. It is not human hair as they claim. Even if this is a blend the hair should not take on a burnt look touching water.

    I called customer service. I was told two different times by two different employees that there is nothing that they can do. The hair is final sale. That answer will not work for me so I plan to take this further. It's not so much the money as it is the principle. To sell a customer something that is not as advertised at all and then to tell them once they try to use it they can't return it they've got to be out of their mind. How do you know what's in the package until you take it out of the package? My belief is that there that's what they're hiding behind but this product is garbage and I will be taking them to small claims court on principle. Do not buy sassy hair extensions. You will regret it.

They are not refunding, or shipping the missing items, let alone even trying to reply to customer issues. I have reported to the BBB and I recommend everyone else do so as well.

    My online experience with Sally Beauty was the worst I ever had. I placed an order & submitted by payment information and received an email confirming they received my order, as expected. There was an estimated shipping time of 1 week. Two weeks came and went and I got no response. Called their customer service number, navigated their various options to actually speak with someone, sat on hold for 45 min and nobody ever picked up. That happened twice. Then I submitted a message to them a few times and no response from a human, just a canned email “sorry to hear of your problems, we are working to resolve...”. About 4 weeks after I gave them my order they just cancelled it. No notice to me, I happened to see it in my order status. They cancelled it during the 4th week because I had been checking every few days. Go anywhere BUT Sally Beauty if you want these. I can’t rate them because I never got them.

    Multiple bad experiences with my ONE online order. Sally's cancelled items without informing me & when I inquired about my 5 missing items from my 5/26/2020 order, I was told the items were out of stock even though their website didn't state that at the time of purchase. I was advised that this is bc their website is not up to date. I was charged $6 for 3-5 business day shipping & did not receive any of the 3 items they actually shipped to me (out of 8) within that time frame after receiving my tracking number. I spent 2 days trying multiple times to call Sally's bc I kept getting a Verizon message that their lines were busy.

    Once I was finally connected, I waited on hold for 60 minutes before an advisor (Monica) came on the line. Monica was scripted & it was obvious she was trained to get ppl off the phone asap. I was refused a refund stating they did not have control over when items shipped bc they were in Texas & items were shipped from warehouses across the U.S. I did not accept this illogical reasoning & requested to submit a formal complaint. Monica said she would have a supervisor call me back, but could not give me any sort of confirmation that this would happen. Things escalated & Monica hung up on me & did not call back even though she captured my call back number at the beginning of the call.

    I ordered over $200 in beauty supplies from the clearance section (times are hard so i was super excited to find some good deals), about 40 items in total. So far i have received about 10 of those items and none of them were the main reason I ordered. I finally got an email back after countless phone calls and emails that stated that my items could not ship because they were sold out and their system "doesn't handle back orders" so I would have to order them again but without the clearance price. The whole point was to order items on sale. I wouldn't normally spend $100 on a straightener, which is why I bought it on sale for $20. How is it my problem/fault that their system can't handle the volume of orders well enough to make something as out of stock? I found that quite strange since I had to remove a few sold out items from my cart before I could check out so I know their "sold out" story is a lie.

    So I went on to look and see what they had left and guess what...most of my "sold out" items were back in stock but at 3x the price. So they really had the items the whole time but decided they wanted to charge more so they lied to their customers. I have literally never seen such a disgraceful company. This is why I hesitate to order online and I NEVER will again from Sally. So disappointing. Still waiting for an email back to see if they will honor the initial price. From the looks of the other reviews I would say that's not going to happen. Huge disappointment and waste of my time. I have no idea why they are still in business but...KARMA will get its revenge one day.

    If I could give negative stars I would.. I placed an order for several hair products for about $55. I understand and was ok with some delays due to Covid but the scam and fraudulent behavior of Sally Beauty is unacceptable. I got the first two items within about three weeks. A note saying the order would be shipped in a few shipments. Ok. Got another delivery of one item. Then that was it... It's been about 6 weeks and I can't get a hold of anyone about my final two items. Online just shows that they "couldn't be shipped with other shipments". Not cancelled or anything.

    I ended up ordering from elsewhere but have continually tried to get a hold of customer service to get my money back. Their website States that during this time their reps are working from home.. They must all be taking sick days because nobody ever answers or responds to emails.. I wish I had look up some reviews of Sally before shopping with them. They don't know what customer service is and don't seem to understand what theft is; taking one's money for products or services not provided.. An official complaint will be filed with the BBB and pursuing the financial side with my bank.

    I ordered several items from Sally Beauty and accepted the fact that I would have to pay the extraordinarily high shipping fees as I did not reach the minimum spend to qualify for free shipping. After approximately 2 weeks, I received an email notifying me that my order shipped, but that two of the three items were now out of stock. First issue - why wait until shipping to notify me?

    The only item shipped was a $3.00 item that I would have forgone if not for the other items in the order. Instead, I was shipped the $3.00 item and paid over FIVE TIMES the product cost for the shipping. I then looked at my bill and cannot, for the life of me, figure out how they got to the updated total I was charged. With taxes and shipping, it does not add up to the amount I was charged. I contacted Customer Service and have heard nothing but radio silence. After several weeks, I received a form email saying that they are sorry no one responded to my email and if I still have an issue to check out their FAQ page. I will never again order from them, and likely never bother with them in store either.

    During Covid-19 crisis we are limited in many ways. A huge one is limited access to items because of business closures. Limited further because curbside pickup doesn't allow customer to shop inside to determine needs or availability of product. Sally Beauty is taking advantage of customers during the covid-19 crisis by requiring a minimum purchase of $15.00 along with requiring a credit or debit card to make the purchase. Neither of these requirements were on the website where I found their address and phone number. Nor was it stated when they answered the phone. It was after a lengthy conversation to determine the color I needed that the employee stated there was a minimum order.

    I had previously purchased less than that minimum during this crisis, closures and curbside pickup. Now their system won't allow it. When I came up with unnecessary items to meet this requirement I was told some items were out of stock. My order still wouldn't meet the minimum. What? If an order is placed and items are not available generally that would be considered a backorder and available items would be shipped. No way at Sally Beauty. I was left without my necessary products because basically they refused to sell them to me.

    This was the third time I had tried to purchase this one tube of hair color. Imagine my frustration! I need it badly and possibly will try again to purchase in stock unnecessary items to meet the ridiculous requirements and be taken advantage of by Sally Beauty. By now this is a known 'choice' of my own. Never the less Sally Beauty has figured a way to get around the wrongdoing of price gouging with this minimum requirement to purchase in stock items. What a disappointment in these times of need to be subject to this kind of treatment when what we need is understanding and kindness.

She rudely said to try Violet bleach, that is all I would need and it would for sure work. So I trusted her, and guess what. It's worse than ever. There is no way I can put anything else on my hair.

    I called their customer support and waited for twenty minutes to speak to a human being and then was greeted with a serious attitude. When I tried explaining my situation, the woman told me that the iron is out of stock and that I would be refunded. So why would they have let me purchase it if it was out of stock? And why didn't I get notified when they realized that? So after a very unpleasant conversation with the woman with Sally's customer support, I ordered a different iron from them. Then I had the same exact thing happen. Sally beauty supply is absolutely the last company I will ever purchase from online ever again. Their stock information is clearly inaccurate, their customer service reps did not treat me with respect, and their communication with customers about circumstances like this needs some serious work.

    This is by far the worst company to shop with or work for. The return policy is different at different locations for some reason. The company only cares about money not the customer and most definitely not the associates. The DM publicly addressed as associate as being a slave driver which showed me a lot about the professionalism and leadership of this company. As a customer that was racist and belittling. Coupons that are sent out never seem to work so you either stand there for long periods of time while employee is on the phone with tech support and finally get tired of waiting and leave without your merchandise or you spend more money than you planned without the coupon. Ethnic products never have promotional sales advertised like the other products do so for cheaper price I get my curly hair products from Walmart. After hearing that guy talk to that associate like that I have a change of heart about this place. So sad.

    I went to the Sally Beauty Supply on South East Street in Indianapolis yesterday and was sorry I wasted my time. There was 2 very young ladies working there. I asked for help to find hair color for older women. They pointed me to a few and then went on about their business. I read the box on one and then asked if I needed to buy developer as well. The somewhat heavyset young lady picked up the box I was looking at and said, "Yes I need to buy developer." So I am standing there looking for developer. This lady then proceeded to tell me that the hair color would not work for me because it was made for hair like hers and it only coats the hair. She did not suggest anything else. So I left without making a purchase. I was really hoping for help to find a hair color that was more healthy for my hair than what I had been using but I sure didn’t get it. I won’t return for anything else.

    I don’t ever write reviews but I had to write this one. I usually buy go in store when I shop at Sally’s but this time I decided to buy online. The website claimed it has free shipping on 25 dollars so I spent way over that. I placed my order on 3/20 in the late afternoon. The next day I realized I hadn’t received an order confirmation. I didn’t get one until 3/22. I also received a shipping confirmation without any tracking information. I had to go to Sally’s website in my order history to get it. The tracking information was incorrect and I could get no tracking history for my package. It was the weekend so I decided to give it until Monday.

    On 3/23 they emailed me to say two of my products would not be shipped and I would get a refund. So if the item was unavailable why did you leave it up there to be purchased. Again I looked past this. I called customer care Monday. After a 30 minute wait a woman answered the phone. After explaining to her about my tracking I information not working she couldn’t provide me with one that was working. She claimed she had to contact the warehouse and that would take 24 hours. That annoyed me even more. Today I checked 3/26 and the tracking number is active and it states my package won’t arrive until 4/02. What happened to 2 day shipping?

    I placed an order during the late afternoon on 3/21/19. As I was checking out online I reviewed all my information and clicked the place order button. I got the swirly icon (processing) then nothing. Still at the place order screen. So I scrolled up and saw a red box. The red box was a message stating that “due to either a higher order volume or connection error my order could not be placed. Your card will not be charged until you order is successfully processed. Please check back in a few minutes and try again. For help contact....” So I waited a few minutes and tried again same message. I did this 6 times. I logged out, logged back in, and went through the entire process again re-entering my information. It was at this point I realized that the address I was shipping to was different from my billing address. I added my billing address and continued on to place my order. It then was successful.

    I immediately went and emailed customer service to express that I understood the red box message stated I wouldn’t be charged but I wanted to have the reassurance that I wouldn’t. I had read a review on here that said another customer had the same thing happen to her. I checked my email the next morning and the only thing in my email from Sally Beauty was my order confirmation with the exact charge for my order. Later on in the day on 3/22/19 my husband called me from our bank and told me that we had been charged for every single attempt I had made at placing the order, over $500 was taken from my account. I had a screenshot of the message in the red box that clearly states that this EXACT thing would NOT happen.

    I got on the phone and called customer service at Sally Beauty. The representative I spoke with was very very nice, friendly, and helpful. The only reason for the 2nd star I might add. He explained that each time you hit that place order button your bank (meaning the customers bank!???!) puts a hold on that order amount and that your (my) account was not actually charged and wouldn’t be until order is shipped. It’s all in the pending stage until then. Okay well then why did my bank (and his online banking account) tell my husband that the money (over $500) was paid to Sally Beauty? And why would my bank automatically authorize 7 identical charges when I have fraud protection? (But that’s a different can of worms opened up after dealing with Sally’s.)

    In the end I had to contact my bank to get the fax number from them so that my money could be put back into my account, which I had to wait through the weekend for in the middle of a huge snowstorm, hoping that nothing catastrophic happened where I’d be needing that quite large amount of money to go back into my account. Please please be advised!! If you try to place an order online with Sally Beauty and it doesn’t successfully place your order the first time CALL Customer Service IMMEDIATELY!! And whatever you do, do NOT trust the message at the top of the screen in the red box. You WILL be charged for every single time you press the place order button!!

    I have been shopping at Sally Beauty Supply stores for 32 years. I've lived in 4 different states and the Portland Maine location is the worst. I am not only given bad advice, but the manager of the store particularly when I came in 3/20/19 at 11 am was very rude again! I came in to return a color that I bought 2 weeks ago, unopened with a receipt and I was told to wait while she went back into the office for 15 min, she then began to ask me the same questions over and over. Interrogating me very meanly until I began shaking and scared of her. I told her that my grey was coming in and the stuff I usually use was gonna be too dark, eventually she returned it but I was very upset with how bad she treated me, no one was wearing a name tag.

    A couple months ago she did the same thing, I had my receipt and it was unused. She was so nasty I cried, and I told her I won't come back again, she said nothing. Unfortunately I need Sally and I need better advice, all the advice I get is either bleach it, keep bleaching and get the bucket. When I change my mind and dont want to I get- so you're returning ALL this? I really am thinking of never going back and strongly recommending my family and friends not to shop at Sally. I've had to return products because it caused dermatitis and I get treated badly. I'm still very upset. I've emailed corporate and apparently nothing has changed.

    I went into Sally Beauty in Oakville two days ago. I was looking at the medium golden blonde Christie Brinkley hair extensions. They did not look like they matched my color from the box and as you know you are not allowed to open the box and there is just a few pieces of hair you can use the hold up to your own hair to see if it matches. I asked the girls and the girl said the hair is not necessarily supposed to match every hair on your head and that is why the hairpiece has various colors in it. That way you can blend in with various shades of hair. This is what they explain to me.

    When I got home both my spouse and I saw it did not match at all. I did not wear it and yet they are refusing to return it. I even called corporate office which I thought would have a voice above them and they said they cannot come it’s the store to return it either. This was only two days ago that I bought it and it is still in the packaging. I know in the store like maybe the color match closer to my hair but in the natural light as well as in other lights the hair is a completely different shade. I’m very disappointed in this and hope I’m not losing $100 just because Sally Beauty‘s cashiers wanted to get some commission and sold me the wrong hair color.

    Horrible customer service. I walk into the store, it reeks of nail polish or nail polish remover, and there's no employee in sight. I heard a faint welcome from the back, and it's obvious that someone is back there and has been playing with nail polish. I came in looking for some hair bleach, developer, and toner. I don't usually get help from salespeople, but I was in a rush. My mom, who was with me, told the person working there that we needed help finding the hair toner. The employee had dyed pink hair, so I figured she might be knowledgeable about hair toner. She takes some time to find it, which I really could have done myself, and while she's searching, she doesn't say excuse me to get us to move or anything. She just kind of moves in our way.

    It was awkward. I tell her thank you, and would have left it there, but she was around my age, so I felt comfortable asking more questions. I asked if the toner I wanted, Wella T18, was there. She finds it, and it's a small bottle, so I asked her "Do I need two of these?" to get a second opinion, as application of hair product varies depending on the person and their hair type/thickness. I was very sweet and asked her as if she was a friend. She so coldly and rudely told me "Do you think you need two?" I was taken aback. I was thinking... I don't know??? You're the employee, I've never used toner before so I don't know? Why would I ask if I knew? She was so rude and stuck up.

    I brushed it off in the moment because I was so shocked. She could have said anything but that. She could have said she's not knowledgeable enough to know if I need two, or that it depends on my hair, or heck, even say "Yes, you'll need a couple haha." Something. Instead she gives a nasty attitude. I'm never going back there. She doesn't deserve a job with that type of attitude. I gave two stars instead of one, because she at least found the product I wanted.

I was asking them about the best hair straightening PERM, since I didn’t want to spend a whole lot of money at a salon... Boy how I wish I would have spent that money on a professional! They told me and I quote: "You don’t have to spend extra money on the straight perm. You can get the basic perm kit... the ones that was used in the early 90’s because everyone had to have curly hair." They said that, "That is the exact same thing, but instead of putting your hair in rollers, just brush it straight." Boy, were they wrong on so many levels. It completely messed my hair up and half of it came out on the brush that I was using to keep it “brushed straight.” You would figure that they would have some kind of training since they work at a beauty supply store!

    A cashier by the name of Bernadine at the Palm Desert, CA location is an extremely RUDE passive-aggressive psychopathic Narcissist! She has absolutely no customer service skills. As soon as I walked in the door, she didn’t even say, "Hi welcome to Sally’s," nothing. She had a look on her face of pure attitude. I went in to exchange some hair lightener and she made me feel like a bad little child for wanting to make an exchange even though I explained to her that I called earlier and was told that it was perfectly okay to come in and make an exchange. She was talking down to me like I was a stupid little child that I didn’t know what I was doing and I was wasting her precious time. She is psychologically abusive and will talk down to you if you are too nice because she thinks you will not stand up for yourself and not speak up.

    She had such an angry condescending tone and was in such a rush, angrily and aggressively pointing out other lighteners that I could try because she obviously didn’t want to help me and give me service. I spoke up and raised my voice at her and said ‘You are being passive-aggressive and I don’t appreciate the way you’re talking to me!’ She had a dumbfounded look on her face probably because she doesn’t even know what the definition of passive-aggressive is, and because Narcissists are so delusional and out of touch with reality, they will never admit or take responsibility for their abusive manipulative behavior. So she asked me in a condescending abusive tone, ‘Do you want me to get someone else to help you?’ As if I am the problem. Patrick then started helping me, but she was talking really loud in an angry passive-aggressive tone to try to further annoy me.

    Patrick was great and respectfully helping me choose a different lightener. But there is no excuse for the way Bernadine behaved toward me. She does not care one bit to give good respectful customer service and she needs to be fired immediately. I happened to of left the items I was returning at the front counter and when I was checking out, I kept the same developer, but after I got home, I noticed that the developer was about a quarter empty. I only used a teaspoon to test a strand of hair before I exchanged it. So I think while nobody was watching her, Bernadine either poured some out or replaced it with the same exact developer that was a return, but with less developer. She probably spit in it and pissed in it too for all I know. I wouldn’t be surprised if she did. This is how evil and vindictive these angry passive-aggressive Narcissists are.

    The next day I called and complained to Melanie the manager and told her what had happened and all she said was she ‘will talk to Bernadine about it.’ Didn’t apologize, didn’t offer me a coupon or a free item, nothing. She didn’t seem to care either. The first lightener that was recommended to me was from the Cathedral City store which was the L'Oréal Beach Babylights which did not work because it is for dark blond hair. I have very dark brown thick hair, almost black. Bernadine also said that this lightener would work for me even though I told her it didn’t work on my hair and that’s why I am exchanging it. Before I went in the store, I called and asked if this lightener was the right one for me, and that person on the phone said no, it is for dark blonde hair. Patrick also agreed that this lightener is not for my dark brown hair; it’s for dark blondes.

    So this proves that some of the store employees don’t know much about beauty products and don’t know what they are talking about. Here is a review of this product that was also recommended to him with dark/black hair: https://youtu.be/mx5FcUrwTjU. I don’t why some Sally’s employees are recommending this for dark brown to black haired people. I then exchanged the L'Oréal Beach Babylights for the L'Oréal Quick Blue lightener which I tested a strand and left the lightener on for a hour and it turned my hair light orangish with red tones and left it extremely dry.

    I then found that the Redken Flash Lift lightener is one of the best lighteners and used by licensed professionals. So, if you’re looking to lighten your hair, don’t use cheap Sally’s lightener, thats why its cheap, because it doesn’t work good at all. You can buy Redken products on Amazon or eBay without a license. You can even buy Redken toners there too.

    As far as the company, Sally’s has been losing revenue for the past three years. I read that they will be downsizing to focus on hair color and this means they will be closing some stores in the future. But probably because Ulta is putting them out of business. What they need is to focus on high quality customer service. These negative reviews should be enough proof how horrible Sally’s customer service has become.

    So because of how horribly I was treated by Bernadine, I will never step foot into another Sally’s again. There is absolutely no excuse for her abusive behavior. I also, suspect that she may have a prejudice against certain races. I wouldn’t be surprised especially with all the political issues that are going on here in California. Either way, she needs to grow ** up, stop emotionally manipulating customers, and keep her political views and personal problems at home!

    I had visited Sally Beauty Supply online and placed order for multiple hair dyes and other hair care products. When my order finally came I was missing the Manic Panic and on paper said out of stock. Will ship when back in stock. NEVER received it and when I contacted them, they told me, "Sorry it’s been too long" there is NOTHING they can do about it and can’t access UPS information. What a bunch of bull. I still have the packing slip they sent and won’t do anything about it. RIDICULOUS. Needless to say I will not purchase anything from this business online or in any of their stores.

    The Sally's Beauty Supply Store in Wichita located on west and central has poor customer service. There is one older lady that constantly treats people of color with disrespect. My daughter and I go to this location often and each and every time we are watched by the same lady. She always acts as if she's organizing items on the shelves on the same aisle that we're shopping on. If there are other customers shopping that aren't people of color she doesn't treat them with such disrespect. I like shopping at Sally's for the items that I need. But I'm extremely tired of being treated differently from other customer's that shop there. This is embarrassing and needs to stop immediately. I would give the star rating a zero if I could.

    I was shopping for nail polish at Sally Beauty Supply in Bradenton Florida #3885. One of the polishes fell, got broken and it was a mess. I said I was very sorry and paid for some items and left. Later when I reach into the store bag to take out my things I grab a small little bag that is very sharp and I get some puncture and cuts on my fingers. I take out a small bag that has the broken bottle of nail polish in it. All the broken pieces. I am so upset off that such an idiot dimwit would do something so rude and disrespectful. And dangerous. I called back to ask her why she did it and she said she doesn't remember putting it in my bag which is B.S. and stupid. She knows it. I will call back to talk to the manager about it. What she did was plain wrong and stupid. They would be correct to fire her. What an unfortunate lack of customer service skills. Have a nice day.

So then I wait for the customer to leave and I asked if they have the digital Chi and was the answer and no, they don't, so I was deciding in the aisle if I wanted to buy it price 99 dollars and I had decided to purchase as I need it now. I was going to order on Amazon but had decided to shop Sally's.

    My 6 year old daughter was with me and picked out a brush she was going to buy 8.99. The short haired nasty women came around and was mean and nasty as hell to my daughter and said, "You can't brush your hair with that." I was ** buying the ** brush. I had other items and I put them all back and left. As I left she made a smart ** comment. Word of mouth is a powerful thing. So, I ordered from Amazon for more money. As a customer about to spend 200 dollars you would think she could have been polite and said to my daughter, "Can you please not do that." Lost a customer for life. Want nothing!

    The Sally's that I go to is about 45 minutes from my house, so when I go I really need to make the trip count. I’m a bleach blonde, and I regularly tone my hair using Shades EQ at home. This particular day I needed to grab a toner, and since my stylist was out of town and I couldn’t get Shades EQ, I figured I’d just go to Sally. I’d only been here once before for purple shampoo, and the lady who helped me was so rude and didn’t know ANYTHING about the products. This time I went in search of Wella hair toner. I walked in the door and the girl at the counter just stared at me, smacking her gum, and didn’t say a word. I smiled and headed to find my toner. While trying to figure out what shade I wanted, a man that works there walked by me, staring, a solid 10 times. I felt like he thought I was a shoplifter or something. Anyways I got to the counter and the stalker man proceeded to say “you need help?” Like yes please I’d like to get my stuff and go!

    Anyways he asks me if I have a Sally card, to which I replied that I didn’t think I did, and he rolled his eyes and signed deeply, saying “okay then do you know what you bought?” At this point I was getting a little irritated so I just smiled and nodded. He rang up my stuff, didn’t tell me what my total was, handed me my receipt and didn’t say a word as I left the store. Flash forward a week. I texted my stylist to see if I should use the stuff I bought and she told me absolutely not, so I went to return it.

    The women at the counter was the sweetest lady, but she had no clue how to do a return (no problem though, she was so sweet). But as fate would have it, the same guy came to help her and was just as rude as expected. He asked me if I used the products a solid 5 times, said “maybe you should’ve know what you were buying” THEN tried to offer me store credit when I had the receipt and my return was 9 days after I bought the product. I laughed and said that I knew the return policy (literally it’s on the back of the receipt) he finally refunded my card, acting just as annoyed as ever, and being extremely rude to the sweet lady at the register, Coline maybe? Anyways, this place is AWFUL. The employees are rude, snobby, and completely useless. I won't ever take my business to that dump again.

    My mom & I went to our local Sally's Store 3610 where we both shop frequently with the most recent coupon, buy 3 polishes get one free and a cosmetic bag. We were informed by the sales associate (very nice and well mannered young lady) that it was a misprint which didn't start until April 1. Being that there was no sign explaining that we asked if she could ask the manager if she would still honor the coupon. The manager hollers across the store at my mom and said, "No I will not honor it. You can come back on April 1" and she also stated that "you cannot get the cosmetic bag unless you buy makeup." I told her that the flyer does not state that makeup is required with the purchase it states spend 14.99 or more and receive a free cosmetic bag. I didn't get the rude manager's name because I walked out the store with an attitude that I will never go back to the Laurinburg, NC store & I will tell my friends not to go there either.

    This event took place on Wednesday, March 28, 2018. On March 30, 2018, my mom & I went to a Sally's in Rockingham, NC store 3259 to get the number to the corporate office. We explained to the sales associate (Clarice) that we were not filing a complaint against her store. We explained what happened and she was very understanding and apologize for our issue. I called the corporate office and explained in detail the events that had taken place and how the manager spoke to my mother & myself. The customer service rep said that she would call the store and tell the manager to honor our the coupon. I told her that I was at a different location and she asked for the location that the incident occurred and the location that I was in at the time. She said that she would call store 3259 and have them to honor the coupon in its entirety.

    Clarice in the Rockingham store received the call from corporate and honored the coupon. My mom and I were able to get the items that we desired along with the free cosmetic bag without purchasing makeup. I was very satisfied with the customer service we received from Clarice at store 3259, however, the manager at store 3610 needs to be talked to about how she treats people especially valued customers that shop in her store all the time. I really feel like it was more discrimination against my mother and I after she saw that we were ** women.

    She literally yelled across the aisle as she walked towards us. WE WILL NEVER VISIT THE STORE 3610 as long as I have breath in my body. I really pray that some action is taken in this matter. It was not our fault that your coupon read from "NOW UNTIL APRIL 30!" If you have a nationwide misprint signage needs to be placed on the door of your locations across the nation. Thank you and I hope to get a response with a resolution.

    Bought a Hair Clipper from the Sally store in Burke VA, and noticed it was greasy and looked old/has been used before. I walked back to the store and explained the situation. I was told by the associate that I couldn't return it since I opened it. Asked for a manager, was told she will be in the store on a different day. Before going back, I called the Sally Customer Service and let them know my experience, as I didn't want to be sent back again. The agent contacted the store, while I was on the phone, and told me they were supposed to return it, and that I shouldn’t have any issue returning it. She even gave me the name of the associate I should talk to.

    Went to the store and asked for that person, but the lady who sold me the item showed up and started off by saying that it was new when she gave it to me, and accused me of using it. I replied by saying, that she should open and check, as everything is still sealed in plastic, except for the oily clipper, which was not covered. I told her that I will be calling Sally if she was not willing to return the item. She said that I should call Sally back to let them know that they weren’t rude to me, as I “stated” in my original phone call. I never told the agent that they were rude to me; all I told her was that they refused to return the item. I don’t think the agent put words in my mouth. She was very understanding and a decent person.

    The associate gave the stuff to another associate to refund me, and took another associate whom she told in Spanish that I was a “bruta persona”, not knowing that I understand Spanish. And the associate that assisted me followed on by saying that I “should get an education”, when I told her that I was not aware that I was charged $5 for membership. I honestly thought it was a free membership, when she asked me to sign up.

    First of all, the associates violated the store’s policy by refusing to return the item; second, they insulted and humiliated me in front of other Spanish speaking customers playing like they were the victims in the case. Sally needs to do a better job listening to customer’s complaints, and disciplining these types of employees who are not well trained on their duties as customer service associates, who even refuse to take orders that come from the corporate level. I would like for Sally take an action on these two employees.

Today I receive my package in the mail and lo and behold I am missing 5 products. Called customer service and they said they had none left in their warehouse.

    No matter the bazillion questions I asked, they were more than happy to give advice, pick out products that I was familiar with (ION), and helped me tailor what I needed. They did NOT try to upsell anything or try to force me to buy extras, I appreciated that. Ironically, when I asked them for a website or number I could call to say how great they were - the workers called their headquarters and the headquarters clearly stated (I could hear them over the line) they did not want to give out a phone number because they didn't want bad customer comments or reviews.

I then called in to customer service and after waiting 20 minutes finally talked to someone who also didn't care about the issue either.

    I explained that I purchased it the day before and that I just want a replacement as it must be defective. She said, "Well you can contact the manufacturer and try to get a refund that way." What I love is that in big red writing on the receipt it says "Love it or return it guarantee" then in small print "except clipper blades." Why would you sell a product that you don't stand behind? I should be able to return it to Sally and they can return it to the manufacturer. Their customer service has always been terrible, at almost all of the stores I've been to the girls are always very rude or snotty.

    To Sally's CEO, Carrie McDermott-- You advertise all over the internet as to your return policy, which is basically "Love it or you can return it." Refund with receipt, no receipt OK if returned in 60 days but you will receive a Sally gift card (store credit basically) which was acceptable to me. Unfortunately my experience was not as easy as that, and "Amanda" the Associate, at your Lindenhurst, NY store felt she'd impose her own policy rather than follow yours. I've tried contacting the store manager first but no one will tell me his/her name; in any event it's best I inform you, as basically the upshot is, that this "Amanda the Associate" in your Lindenhurst, NY (Long Island) store is making a liar out of you, in refusing to honor your store's return policy, the one that you advertise all over the internet across the United States. (False advertising, as you must be aware, is a crime.)

    I am alerting the IC3.gov about my encounter today. To add insult to injury, this "Associate" who not only failed to carry out your return policy and wasted over ONE HOUR of my time this Sunday, but just had to give me a parting "jab" as I headed to the door after she actually barged in, mid transaction, and told the pleasant cashier who was assisting me not to return (exchange) my product. While I did not have a store receipt (as I did not anticipate my not liking the products) I tossed it, but I did have a printed out credit card transaction, date, reference #, total amt., store # etc. I also had printed out almost anticipating a problem as I read several negative reviews on "Yelp" as to rude staff who fail to honor the return policy, in many of your stores.

    I had your return policy with me, that you can "shop Sally with no worries, as there is a "Love it or Return it" Guarantee" no hassles etc. Stipulations were, WITH a receipt, you get a store refund in 30 days & after that within 60, with or without a receipt you get a store credit, and without a receipt, you get a store credit even if you return it within 30, max 60. No mention of "used products" as very obviously, that would be counter to your "love it or return it" policy. (Obviously, how can you know if you "love it" if you don't use it?) Amanda the angry Associate, didn't seem to grasp this... It is a pretty clear, concise policy, but Amanda the Angry Associate was apparently not capable of understanding it; either that or your policy is completely bogus.

    I purchased 2 products, about 12 days ago. One was "Crepe Away", an over priced anti wrinkle cream that I was very dissatisfied with, it was very "watery", not creamy & didn't do a thing for my skin. The other product was worse - ION Hair color. I chose shade 8N, supposedly a medium neutral blonde which is not neutral at all, it left my root area and 3" extending into a charcoal very dark ash color! I was embarrassed to have to go to a party I had to go to that same day with charcoal grey roots and discolored hair. And so, this past Sunday, I went to Sally's on Wellwood Ave, in Lindenhurst, NY to return these inferior products. As I entered, a pleasant enough young woman listened to my problem, I explained in detail as to how I used both products and I even showed her how the ION hair color discolored my hair; the damage/discoloration was very obvious.

    The cashier said since I did not have a receipt, she could not refund me, but I could exchange it. I shopped around trying to find $19.00 worth of products I wanted, which was difficult as I noticed you no longer carry the really good, well known brands you used to stock years ago. (i.e. "Matrix", "Goldwell", Loreal's Kerastase, etc.) Most of the brands you carry now are brands I never heard of, and after using ION that ruined my hair which I never heard of I was hesitant to use any more no-name brands. The few brands you currently sell, that I am familiar with, ie, "Wella", "Clairol", some "Loreal" hair colors are all the older products and so I spent over ONE hour searching your store and finally found 3 products that although I was not "thrilled with" felt I could use. I returned to the counter where the young pleasant cashier held my $19.50 products for which she, in compliance with your refund policy, agreed to exchange.

    As I spoke with this somewhat pleasant cashier who was about to assist me, this older, heavier woman probably near 30 or so, barged in, threw her weight around, and told the cashier who was assisting me not to return my goods as I did not have a receipt. I explained to her, just as I did the first pleasant cashier my predicament and showed her, that I have a detailed, printed out copy of my credit card transaction, and I also showed her a copy I had with me of your store return policy, saying very clearly that I did not need a receipt within 60 days, and that I could get an exchange. She said "No you can't because you used it" I replied that of course I used it, and that is how I know I do not like it, I showed her my hair discoloration, and reminded her and showed her YOUR "Love it or Return it" Policy, and asked her "How would I know if I "love it' or not, if I did not use it?

    She again was adamant, and told the younger more pleasant cashier, who was attempting to assist me, not to help me at all and that I need a receipt. I asked the rude, burly one her name, she said "Amanda." I asked her position, she said "Associate". I wrote it down, this Amanda could see I was clearly agitated, and as I turned around and headed to the door to leave, "Amanda the obnoxious Associate" yelled out with a menacing grin, "You have a good day now!" I assured her I would.

    This is the manner in which I was treated Ms. McDermott and Mr. Brickman (if you are still there?). I had in the past, frequented on and off your store for many years, not all the time especially once "Ulta" arrived on the scene, but I did shop there periodically. No more, I will never again frequent your store, not after being treated like that, and LIED to regarding your return policy. Not only did "Amanda the Angry Associate" disrespect me, but she disrespected YOU as well... this is YOUR policy, not mine, and she basically made a Liar out of YOU; her unprofessional behavior reflects on YOU and all of Sally Beauty stores. This angry Associate, "Amanda" has implemented her very OWN return policy for your Lindenhurst store, it appears she thinks she runs Sally, not you!

    I've commented on the Sally Beauty Lindenhurst Facebook page, and whoever runs that page has not responded to any of my numerous comments these past few days and so I will keep on posting there until Amanda over there publicly apologizes for her atrocious, egotistical, unprofessional disgusting behavior. I think she was probably trying to show the younger, slimmer more attractive Associate "a thing or two" and just decided to throw her weight around by barging in on our transaction and undermining the efforts of the younger cashier, who was actually following your store return policy in a polite manner - guess she wanted to show us both "who was boss"; her obnoxious behavior didn't impress me at all and I will be sure to tell all of my women friends my awful experience on Sunday at Sally.

    This "Amanda the Associate" wasted over an hour of my time on Sunday no less, I am a busy woman, particularly on Sundays as my husband is a pastor. My time is worth $75 an hour. I did not have that hour to waste, nor did I care to be treated like garbage by a likely jealous woman with a huge chip on her shoulder particularly after having purchased an inferior product at Sally that ruined my hair... I thought if anything Amanda the Associate's tone would be far more apologetic rather than hostile and rude. "Amanda the Associate" needs additional training, I'd suggest having the younger more capable cashier who followed your rules re-train her -- or better yet part ways - certainly "Amanda the Angry Associate" is not helping your store's image. I will never set foot in another Sally again because of Amanda the Associate and will share my experience there with all females who care to listen.

    If I could rate 0 stars I would. Immediately walking into the shop I see an older woman at the register that literally ducked behind a tall stand of earrings as she made eye contact with me. She peeked out from behind the stand and I was the first to say hello. She responded hello back but did not welcome me for coming in or ask if I needed any assistance. I immediately walked up to her and asked where the hair removal section was rather than wander around. She walked me over to a start of an aisle and pointed that it on the right. It was at the far end of the aisle and I found it myself. Considering they have all of 4 aisles she could have walked me to the section. There was one other customer in the store at the time. It took me 2 minutes to grab my selection and greater than 15 minutes to be rung out. Another employee was in the store at the front register.

    The older lady was ringing out the other customer in the store. The second cashier didn't bother to greet me when she made eye contact and proceeded to pull the register. I overheard the older lady tell her current customer that she couldn't make the coupon apply even though it did match her items and she would just have to use it another time. When it came my turn the older lady cashier tried to tell me that she couldn't get my coupon to apply even though it clearly matched the items too. The second employee wandered around not helping any of the incoming customers or the cashier I was stuck with that clearly had no idea what she was doing. This place and their customer service is a joke.

    This comment is in reference to the Store Manager and staff of the Lenoir City, TN location. Most locations of Sally in TN are good, but this one is atrocious. This store manager, on every occasion, has been hostile and rude to us. Today, she lied to my fiance about our Sally Card expiration, which according to Sally is valid until August 31st, but she claimed was expired, in order to deny our discount. She said I was rude, to which I replied she had the worst customer service of any Manager in Lenoir City. We exchanged words, and she ended up telling me she would call the police (which she evidently did not do, but I did do out of concerns over her apparent emotional and mental instability).

    I have never had an experience like this anywhere, with anyone, but I have been informed that she has had other complaints. For my part, I consider the matter settled, although I will never do business with this store again and will advise all of my tax clients and friends to refrain from doing business with this store's abusive staff in the future.

    Very rude and dismissive representatives, just for asking very kind questions. This is not about products use or misuse. As a regular customer I was asked to leave the store quite unexpectedly. Their excuse was issues with shoplifting. You have to trust me here... I NEVER would steal beauty supplies or in any way looked like (not "bum" like in any way) or acted like I would do such a thing. I'm sure "well we had shoplifting" was their excuse. I'm sure they really did not suspect me of it. I remained calm the entire time; but I tell you it was the most challenging in my many years. They just wanted me to buy *more* and leave the store.

    Sally's corporate took the side of the very strange manager and shut me out completely. Can you imagine? Do not make the mistake of appealing to corporate. A shocking and complete waste of time and they even threatened me (with my info) too! I regret contacting them as now I'm afraid of further false witness. What bothers me is they made a point of the fact they have all my personal information. They said they'd sue me If I protested their store. LOL.

    I ask you. Do shoplifters buy from stores while giving them all their private information, including home address!? They make no sense. My only guess is I did not spend over $100 and was asking about specials and bargains. Else their manager is having mental breakdown. BTW: They're "sales" were also not available (in stock). The reps seemed overworked and so I was like VERY VERY polite about not needing to be first or anything like that. I was purposely civil and kind with them. Very strange behavior by them and I'm shocked to learn it's nationwide also. I note the company earnings are trending way down. Maybe they are going out of business. I think all I can do now is not return. Sad, strange and very bad feeling experience. All I can really do is tell you. One star should be a no star rating.

    Walked in with 4 boxes of hair dye to exchange. I am a 63 year old mother of eight and grandma of 17, so I am going gray. I was approached by a tattooed lady with heavy makeup named Tina. She said in no uncertain terms. No exchanges, no returns, no store credit, nothing without a receipt. I told her I had been coming here for years and never had a problem before. She was adamant. There was nothing she could do for me. I told her I would Yelp her and asked for her name. She said "Go ahead" and gave me her name in a taunting manner. I was so frustrated I threw the boxes on the floor and said keep them. I have no use for these. She immediately said "Call the police." I went to my car and she stood outside taking my license plate down.

    At first I left but decided since I had done nothing illegal to return. I myself called the police. She then went on to lie and say I had hit her with the dye box in the arm. Never happened. Two of my grandchildren were with me and witnessed her lie. After two police cars arrived and I spoke with them and she did the police told me I could leave. Later after speaking with customer service I found she had also lied about the return policy. She was supposed to give me store credit and did not. Horrible experience, horrible service. She looked like a bag lady and has no business working with people in a retail job. And as far as Sally's making good on this atrocity they offered me a 5 dollar coupon on a future purchase.

    I visited this store (Sally's beauty supply Madison MS) today to purchase a Denman's hair brush. I have used this brand for over 30 years but opened the package to test the firmness of the plastic bristles and to compare against a generic brand they were selling. This sent the sales associate (only employee in the store) into a lecture asking me if I planned to purchase the hairbrush and how no other customer would want to buy the hairbrush if the box had been opened. Really? The box was not sealed. I carefully put the brush back in without affecting the packaging in any way. I certainly did not try to brush my hair with it or contaminate it in any way. Due to the rudeness of this employee, I left the store and ordered the product online. No customer should be treated with this lack of respect.

    I went to Sally Beauty on Wednesday 5/3 and told the saleswoman that I wanted a product to take the brassiness out of my light blond hair. She sold me ION product which she said would work because blue would take the yellow out. After applying it on my hair I immediately realized that the blue color was not washing off my hands and jumped out the shower. With my heart pounding I looked in the mirror to see BRIGHT BLUE hair! Immediately phoned the Sally's store where I'd made​ the purchase and spoke to Jessica who said to use baking soda and dandruff shampoo to take out the color--that did NOT work so I called my hair stylist who suggested I come to the salon the next morning. She was able to get the BLUE out and get my hair back to a normal color... It took her over 3 hours to correct this horrible BLUE color problem!

    Nowhere on the label did it say to use rubber gloves when applying or that the product was permanent and could not be washed out. My hair is now damaged with a bald spot on my hairline with overall thinness throughout... My hair is not as curly because of the damage that was caused because of using this product that I was sold in your Sally's store in St. Anthony, MN. Salespeople need better training... I should never have been sold this product simply to get brassiness out!!! At 65 years old it was a traumatic experience to have my hair turn BLUE and look like a punk rocker! I would suggest that Sally's needs to TRAIN their​ people better so someone else doesn't get BLUE hair unless that's what they want which I definitely did not.

    I was denied reimbursement of $188.50 for having to have my colorist bring back my hair to a normal color. It took her over 3 hours plus she had to cancel 2 appointments to squeeze me in as I was so horribly upset by this traumatic experience. I was too upset to take photos of the blue hair but believe me, it was bright blue! Needless to say, I will never ever buy another thing at Sally Beauty and will make sure no one I know will either.

I have worked it over 30 plus years, but my god, I told them nicely I knew what I was looking for, I was fine, and was pretty much watched the entire time. Every time I went down an aisle, one of the employees comes barreling down... asking if I need help. Let me SHOP Already! If I need help I will ask!

    When I got to the register I stated, "you ALL must be extremely bored or have a lot of shoplifters", one of the women says "Yes, yes we do". Told them all I felt like a criminal... Almost didn't make my purchase because of it. So in short, customer service is a great thing, when the customer wants it... But don't shove it down my throat!

I have a Bachelor of Science degree in advertising so I showed her my flyer and my name and address on the back and asked why did they send it to me if it was only meant for preferred beauty club members? No answer.

    I said I didn't want it then and that I wanted my 25% coupon back. The clerk then said that she shredded it so she couldn't give it back to me. UNREAL!!! I read some of the other reviews on this site and I have also experienced things like those myself and this was actually the last straw. One thing I did do was call the store manager and after her snotty attitude, I told her that I would not be shopping at Sally Beauty again. There are umpteen beauty businesses competing for our money so I will take my money elsewhere.

    The Sally's stores in Memphis remove their sales advertisements for sale items and special offers about 2-3 days prior to the sale ending. Locating the buy-one-get-one sales is kind of difficult when the advertisement has been removed.

    Shopped at Sally's in Brunswick, OH for a resupply of a product I liked. Noticed signs stating "Buy 2, Get 1 Free" over all products for that brand. Bought 2 additional items, although I was not shopping for those items. Also picked up two additional items not on sale. Went to checkout. I'm a "Beauty Club" member. Didn't notice my receipt until after I got home. NO FREE ITEM! Double checked on their website and it states CLEARLY that the products were as I thought, BUY 2, GET 1 FREE! Should have come up automatically but it did not! Yes, the cashier should have been paying attention if the sale was not in their computers but in this day and age, it should have been in their computer already!!! CHECK YOUR RECEIPTS BEFORE LEAVING THE STORE, especially if you expect to get benefit of the sale!!! Now, this requires me going back to have my charge adjusted. If they DO NOT... it will be my last time in their stores...

    I have been a cosmetologist shopping at Sally's since 2003. My recent visit left a bad taste in my mouth and I will never shop there again. I asked the sales associate about the new straightener that is out the thermal brush and she came right out and said it is a product for ** people and that it wouldn't work on my west Indian hair. SERIOUSLY. Never in my 13 years have I ever been so pissed. How unprofessional. I am a stylist for Smart Styles and I work with all types of hair so this comment was so out of line.

    Sally's is a great store and it's a better option than having to buy drugstore quality beauty supplies. And you can access products drugstores don't have. I was so surprised at all the negative reviews here. First off I'm not referring to reviews of rudeness from staff, customers returning items, of mistreatment of customers and staff advising customers on what to buy to colour their hair. I'm talking about the large number of people complaining about buying hair items and getting mad because they didn't like it. So bashing Sally's and saying it's their fault. The brands in seen are not made by Sally's. It's just like going to any store buying a brand and not liking it you couldn't return box dye to Walmart and say it's their fault if you don't like the result. So why treat Sally's like that?

    And I was really shocked at the stupidity on page 2. A girl that bought temporary colour didn't like it so bought a permanent hair colour corrector, put it on, made a mess in her bathroom, wiped it on her white towels, took pics of the dye that says temporary colour and the pic of the permanent hair colour corrector, and the towels she wiped her hands on and said she's going to file personal injury because the permanent colour remover got hair colour all over her bathroom and ruined her $500 white towels and had to pay $200 to have her hair fixed. Lmfao, good luck with that. I don't think she reads what she buys. Temporary colour means it will wash out. No damage or staining to hair. So putting permanent colour remover on it pointless and wrong. But then making a mess and wiping it on towels is all her doing and the evidence clearly shows her error. Maybe she should read the boxes and find out the meaning of temporary.

    Better yet stay away from home beauty projects (I find it laughable. someone of that mentality claims to have enough money to have $500 towels and could go pay a hairdresser $200 just like that). But those reviews seem unfair. Sally's is a store not a service. For people that know how to colour hair it's wonderful. But if you don't know then you need to research first. Don't trust the workers to tell you how they are. Just retail workers. I don't know how they are trained but it's not the same as pros. Some are good. Most have no idea. Anyone can work there. Don't feel pressured by them to take their advice and buy what they say if you don't know. Go home and research it then come back and get what you need.

    And another review the girl was mad because she asked where the hair colour was and the worker said it's all here. And she got home and bought a highlighting product and 40 developer and was very angry that she bought it. And said it's the worker's fault. There's one area where hair colouring stuff is. It includes bleach, demis, semis, toners, developers, all that. It's up to her to read the labels. The workers are not expected to inspect your purchase and stop you from buying things. It's a store. Most would be insulted if the cashier looked at their stuff and said "no you're not buying that". So I'm only going to point out those 2 reviews just to show how I think a lot of the reviews are just due to stupidity or lack of knowledge and people thinking Sally's is a service or something. It's just a store like any other store. I have used products I didn't like but I don't blame the store and I never take advise from anyone there.

    I find I know more about what I'm doing than they do. I once asked about Apogee products and the girl showed me the 2 step protein treatment and said it's the best. I should try it. So I bought it, read reviews before I used it and they were all excellent. So I used it as per directions and half my hair broke and fell off. I didn't blame Sally's. I was mad but not at anyone. It's my fault since I'm not a hairdresser and everything at Sally's says for professional use. It's my own risk I'm taking using it. Needless to say I tried it again months later and it worked this time. No hair breaking off so it wasn't a bad product. It was something to do with my hair that made it break off. They have really good hair masks. Mystic divine brand. I love these. They really help fried hair and smell good. Also the hemp bronzing moisturizer is very good. It gives me a real looking tan. No issues and smells good.

    They always have Wella toners available and everything I need for my hair. Except I won't touch the hair extensions. Be warned they are garbage. I have bought Sassy Blonde Weft years ago. It must have been a fluke cause it seemed like Remy hair. Great quality. 2 years ago I needed extensions so bought 2 blonde sassy wefts for $200 after tax and both were terrible after being washed. The texture changed into very course kinky dry hair and wouldn't go straight and smooth again. I used my Chi flat iron (not bought from Sally's) and it did nothing so 2 weeks later they were in the garbage. And I went to an extension store where I paid twice as much but was educated about the qualities of extensions and got great long lasting real remy double drawn hair extensions. Trust me they really fail on extensions.

    I once bought a cheap weft for a project. It was from Sally's Vienna brand. I didn't use it but recently tried to colour it and half wouldn't colour. Found out even though it said 100 human hair, it wasn't. It had fake hair and the rest was something else other than human. It was animal hair. They were gross so I read about others buying it and they thought it was yak hair mixed in. So gross. But for the 2 blonde wefts I purchased that were garbage I contacted Sally's and told them because I thought well maybe they don't know how bad they are. And they reacted surprised and were really good about it. Asked for the receipt and would have refunded me if I sent the hair to them and show a receipt. But I missed the deadline to email back the receipt info and my complaint was closed. So my fault for not getting it in on time.

    Then after that I was talking to the Sally's girl about extensions and said what junk the sassy was and she agreed. And said she's not supposed to say but it's bad. She said satin strands is real remy and great but I doubt that. I only buy from one hair extension/wig store that's honest and has high quality hair. I haven't had any rudeness from Sally's staff ever so I guess I'm lucky. I couldn't imagine them kicking customers out and calling police on them. Sounds like a really bad owner of those stores. And the people that were treated like that need to contact a head office and report that. Sally's is a public store. They can't decline people from shopping. The girl that had a student card and said they took her card away said it's invalid. And said she's too stupid to finish beauty school and kicked her out needs to report it. If get card was really expired who cares. She can still buy stuff. Just not get a discount. And how would Sally's know if she graduated?

    Sally's isn't a preferred place for schools. Most schools set up students at professional pros only stores and not the public stores like Sally's. Unless I guess it's all that's all that's available. Or they aren't able to get memberships at those pro only places. Anyway it sounds like some Sally's have some really crazy owners that don't want good sales. If they randomly throw out customers and degrade them, makes no sense why that would happen. Don't they want to sell and be profitable. Maybe there's more to these stories that's not being said cause it sounds odd.

    Overall I would recommend Sally's to anyone who knows what they need and how to do it. It's way better than a drugstore. I won't touch drugstore colour again when I have gone for hair cuts. The hairdressers say "I see you have your hair professionally coloured" I was surprised. I'm like "no I do it myself". And the one said she can tell it's not drugstore colour. She said I'm using professional colour and I said "yes I buy it at Sally's" lol. I didn't ask how she could tell but it makes a big enough difference using it instead of the box stuff. And it works way better and my hair doesn't get the damage it did with box dyes. Hope I haven't offended anyone. I just wanted to point out some stuff I thought sounded weird and give an honest review.

    After that hassle I thought I would just ask which is very hard for me to do because I am mostly turned down, but I finally got the guts for just 5% off which isn't much it really was more for my self-esteem than the hassle.

    On 3/2/16 I went into Sally Beauty Supply in Hudson, NY - Store number 1518. I had a return to make and I needed hair dye. I asked the 2 young girls that were working there to help me with finding the proper hair dye and they brought me over to a section that they said had all the hair dyes I would need. Every time I had a question it seemed to be a bother to them, they were not very interested in helping me. I looked through the colors and chose 6 hair colors. By this time the girls had turned up the music to a very high volume with techno music playing, inappropriate for a store. One girl checked me out so this would have been another opportunity to double check what I chose to make sure it was what I needed. She obviously did not.

    This afternoon I was going through my purchases from yesterday and I noticed that I was sold a "Highlight" product - not hair dye. I called the store and the District Manager Bonnie happened to be there. She said "We've been having problems with those 2 employees - we are trying to work with them and if that doesn't help they are going to be out the door". She told me to call the main customer service number and gave me their phone number. In the meantime I was advised by both the Store Manager, a Manager at the main office and a CSR at Loreal that they sold me the wrong hair dyes ($40.00 worth!). They also sold me 40 volume developer, which would have had my hair in shreds. I told this salesgirl upfront all about my hair and she still let me purchase hair dye that was wrong and SHE picked up the 40 volume developer and put it into my basket.

    All the main office would offer me is a gift card, not a check. The reason the gift card is useless to me is I do not have a car and to get to Sally is a $12.00 taxi ride. To take a $12.00 taxi ride for a $6.79 gift card would not be worth it, so essentially the gift card is worthless to me - It cannot even be used online. Robin at the main customer care number would not make an exception to a receipt rule, she said she needed the original receipt to refund a check (I had a return without a receipt). In my opinion, the original receipt rule should not apply because I was sold an item that was wrong for my hair even after I asked both of the girls working to help me.

    Why should I suffer because they have employed 2 girls who are more interested in singing and along to their music than helping the customer? I was forced to accept the gift card as I had no choice. Hopefully I'll be close to a Sally location but I would like a refund check in the amount of $7.33, which includes the tax I paid. I will be happy to return the gift card. They suck BIG TIME!

    I bought a few items at Sally Beauty in Johnson City, TN and when checking out, the worker informed me of their beauty club, where you can receive discounts on products. She informed me it was $5 however I would receive a coupon that I could use for $5 off a purchase any time within the next year until my membership ran out. My friend later verified that it was what she told me as well, so I don't believe it was a miscommunication error. I went back about 2 months later to use the coupon on over $30 worth of items and the worker informed me that it had expired a month ago.

    I completely understand how the coupon expired, I should have checked the date. However, I think they should have stood by what the clerk told me initially about having all year to use it. Finally after arguing with the manager for 10 minutes, the worker put in a $5 manual override but that isn't before the other two girls working there (the manager being one) told me that I must be lying and that someone that works there would never say that. I emailed customer support over 3 months ago and they never contacted me. Long story short, don't enroll in their beauty club because they lie about the details and then make it seem like my fault.

Well... apparently the people that work there decided to charge the WHOLE amount on my credit card and nothing off the gift card, even though I told the girl especially to just put the difference on my credit card. She then tells me my gift card doesn't swipe and there is nothing she can do with an attitude... like are you kidding me?! I worked in customer service for 10+ years and you're not even willing to call customer service to fix it or maybe just manually enter the numbers on the gift card instead of continuing to swipe it knowing the magnetic strip doesn't work! She also kept my gift card and said that there was nothing on it and that she can't give it back (that's a lie because I never used it and this was my first time in Sally).

    So I called their customer service shortly after getting home and the representative Melissa was appalled at how I was treated and said that the District Manager Bonnie would definitely call me by Monday...

    Over the summer I was trying to gradually bleach my hair light enough to color it silvery gray. I had it lightened professionally in the spring to light/medium blonde so I felt like this would be difficult but possible. At a certain point I wanted to bleach bath my hair and immediately tone it with a toner known for being a very good light ash blonde.

    I went to Sally's in Fenton, MI for supplies and told the clerk, who said she had been a cosmetologist for several years, what my plan was. She told me that my hair was light enough to tone it to my desired color already. I knew this wasn't true even with my limited knowledge on hair coloring/lightening, lightened it a couple levels and it STILL wasn't light enough. After a couple months I gave up and decided to put a little color back in to my hair after protein treatments, as the midshaft of my hair was so over processed, it was white, but it hadn't broken at all yet because my hair is very thick.

    I told a different clerk that I wanted to try to blend my hair color with a neutral medium blonde toner and she picked one out for me that looked like my desired color all while assuring me she knew what she was talking about. What she chose for me ended up being a HIGH LIFT BLONDE which I discovered lifts pigment not unlike bleach, not deposit it. My hair started breaking off as soon as I put it on my head. Luckily I realized what was happening right away but I still have a lot of short hairs, especially around my face. So now I'm just trying to condition it so it stops breaking off. I'll keep going there but if one of those ladies tries to input advice or opinions, I'm gonna tell them to pipe down because they have no idea what they're talking about.

We have to follow the 60 day return policy, you also must have a receipt for the return or exchange. We prefer to do exchanges or else we get reprimanded. On any hair extensions, blades and jewelry those purchases will be non-refundable. We do not allow customers to "sample" nail polishes, brushes, makeup, as it is unsanitary. I wouldn't want to purchase a brush that has been through someone's hair. We have a lot of products, over 10.000 in some stores, it's close to impossible to remember them all, or remember all the sales, as they change monthly. There are many ways your local Sally Beauty can change, but please remember we are people too.

Flat out said there is nothing that can be done, told me to call Customer Relations for which I had done and was told to go to the store. Well needless to say, the matter is not resolved. To make it so bad, I used the discount card which I thought would at least show my purchase. No, everything else but. The worst part about it is that I need it for medical reasons and the company didn't even have a care in the world.

    I am a licensed hairdresser. My granddaughter went into a Sally's to pick up a hair color on her previously bleached (underneath) black Asian hair. She wanted to have a "gray look" on her blonde hair. The girl advised her to use the Blue Bleach, and then, use Color Corrector afterward, then, another color! Are you ** kidding me????? Color Corrector? After using blue bleach? She said the girl was so convincing that she knew what to do, that she followed her instructions. The hair is fried. It's down to her waist. Please tell me that Sally's has a policy to train their employees (who are not licensed hairdressers by the way) to not give advice on chemicals. I frequent a Sally's in North Palm Beach on U.S. 1. They have always been friendly, and I have never heard any employee advise a customer about chemicals there. Please train your managers.

    I went into Sally's to purchase a hair product to tame my curl because my hair was getting spiky, frizzy and unmanageable all over from the humidity. I came across a hair straightening kit and asked the sales girl about it. She said that it was very popular with women with my problem. I brought it to the register and paid for it. After I paid for it, she started to explain to me how to use it. She said that she was a beautician at a salon in my area and that I should put the product on my hair, leave it on for 30 minutes and apply hot air for the full thirty minutes, do not rinse it out after the 30 minutes but simply blow dry it into the style I wanted. "Then do not wash it or get it wet for 2 days and do not tuck behind your ears." I questioned that because I really didn't want to stand there for 30 minutes applying hot air to my head. She told me to watch youtube videos on how to do it if I don't remember what she told me.

    When I got home, I opened the box and the directions were totally different than what she told me to do. The directions said to leave it on for no more than 5 minutes for fine hair and no more than 7 minutes for medium hair. Then to rinse it out completely for 10 minutes and apply the sealers and such that were in the kit. That is a far cry from 30 minutes under hot air and not rinsing it. I wasn't really sure if my hair was fine or medium so I left it in for only 4 minutes as I only wanted to tame it, not completely straighten it. When I finished the process, my hair was so stiff and flat that I couldn't even get a comb into it. I tried my best and spent over half an hour trying to comb it. My scalp was sooo sore from doing that. I couldn't even blow dry it because it was so stiff and flat. I let it air dry figuring that I could do something with it after it dried. That maybe that is what it was supposed to do.

    After it dried, finally, 3 hours later, all of my hair was broken and looked like I had dreadlocks in some spots. I was panicking. When my husband got home, he tried to help me with it. We put leave-on conditioners in it, silk serums, etc. Nothing would bring it up past flat and broken. I spent the next two full days on the internet researching how to repair the damage. I tried every home remedy I could find including slathering a whole jar on mayonnaise on my head and wrapping it with plastic wrap. I did this for 3 days. Nothing made it better. I then got desperate and started looking for a wig online. I was talking on the phone to one of my friends and she told me to take it back to Sally's and get a refund for the product and make them comp me some hair repair treatments. She also told me to email Sally's and tell them about this whole thing, which I did.

    I am too tame to demand something like that but I did bring the product back and showed another sales girl my hair as the original salesgirl was not there. She told me that she should not have sold me this because it is a very damaging product unless you are a professional. I told her that I wish she had told me that and then I told her about the process that she wanted me to do. She just gasped in horror. She sold me some ION repair conditioner and told me to keep it on my head overnight with a shower cap on. I did this for 5 nights and it didn't do anything. As a matter of fact, it was dried up and clumped on my hair by morning. I finally, in embarrassment, when to visit the salon that I've used for haircuts for the past 10 years. My beautician was horrified at the site of my hair and told me that I am much calmer than she would be and that this is going to take anywhere from 6 to 10 months to grow out and get back to normal.

    She called her store manager over and a couple of other beauticians that were working that night. They all tried to figure out what to do with my hair to make it look a slight bit better. She gave me a cut to take off the heaviness which was about 4 inches shorter that I normally have it cut. She told me that as it grows out, it will look like spikes coming out of my head as the new growth comes in. She showed me how to tease it up so that the old dried out hair will cover the new hair coming it so that I don't look like a Chia pet. She asked me if I contacted Sally's and I told her that I did. I told her that my first contact was via email on July 29, 2015 and as of today, August 11, 2015, they still haven't responded to my email. I also told her that I returned the product for a refund and that she sold me the ION repair.

    I told her that I applied it as instructed and that it was dry in the morning. She said that it was doing more damage because since it was dry, it was alcohol based and it was drying my hair out more. Needless to say, I am very frustrated with Sally Beauty for two reasons, one is that they haven't responded to my email and two is that the salespeople don't know the products very well. My hair is beyond repair. I have to wait for it to grow out. I am still considering the wig.

    I went into Sally Beauty Supply in Vernon Hills on a Monday. I explained to TWO cashiers working that day (assuming they had experience working with hair) that I was getting married in a week and wanted long soft curls. (My hair is currently shoulder length.) They said get 18" brown extensions because the hairdresser will bleach the extensions to match my highlights. (My hairdresser did say she would dye them.) The cashier started to open the box when I said I know how the clip ins work. They were very nice and seemed to have knowledge on the subject so I bought based on their recommendations.

    The next day, I took the extensions to my salon to find that they cannot bleach the hair. So I called two other HIGHLY reputable salons (not that I don't trust my girl, just wanted to be thorough). Apparently NO ONE in their right mind will EVER bleach hair extensions. They will DYE them but will never BLEACH them. That same day, Tuesday, I took the extensions back to Sally Beauty Supply in Vernon Hills where one of the cashiers from Monday, Kristen, was working again. I asked for an exchange to which she immediately said no. I said I understand the return policy of intimate products such as this however, SHE was the one who told me it would work and SHE was the one who opened the box. (The salon didn't even touch them, they didn't need to feel them to say no experienced hairdresser will bleach hair extensions.) I simply wanted to exchange them for a lighter color so my hairdresser could dye them. She refused.

    I went to my car, LIVID. I called customer service and explained the situation. If the cashier hasn't gone to a reputable beauty school or has never been licensed, she should NOT be giving advice. In the end, Betty from customer service told the manager at the store that an exchange should be allowed. I exchanged for lighter colored extensions. This was a horrible experience. Customer service was extremely helpful however the help at Sally Beauty Supply in Vernon Hills is severely lacking in knowledge. I recommend to anyone going to this store to make sure to take advice from a licensed, experienced hairdresser and NOT the employees of Sally Beauty Supply as they are completely uneducated.

    Most sales staff at the Matthews, NC location are courteous and helpful. There is one female cashier who is nothing short of maddening! Every time I have encountered her, she is rude and acts as if I'm burdening her with my purchase. Furthermore, she is simply incompetent. When I purchased a B1G1 item, she rang me up yet charged me for both. When I came back a few minutes later and respectfully showed her the error, she blamed ME, saying in an abrupt tone that it was MY responsibility to tell her about the sale. I don't get paid to ring up sale items correctly, she does.

    Then today, I returned a haircolor I tested on a small lock of hair (Ion color is notorious for not being true to level or swatch. Look into Wella instead). Anyway, the woman in question abruptly states opened items cannot be returned. I told her the Ion color guide I brought with me recommended this shade and it did not perform anywhere near as promised (I also brought my test locks as proof). I also pointed out the sales flyer right in front of her states: "Love it or return it. 100% money back guarantee."

    She changed her tune and allowed the return, but said I could only exchange it for another color, which I later learned is NOT according to Sally's return policy. I am tired of this woman's antics and unhelpful attitude and will contact corporate. She needs retraining or, if there are other complaints against her, a write-up or even termination.

    I'm starting to keep a log on this company. I've shopped here for years and it dawns on me that nearly every time I've purchased their advertised sales items there has been an issue, fine print, not in stock, some excuse or issue is given. When they advertise buy something get something else free you can count on the fact that they will not have the "free" item in stock. It happened to me again today, which made me realize it has happened every single time. I am now going to keep the ads, detail names, dates, etc. This is not limited to just one store, it's every time, every store, every so-called sale. Which makes me now think that this is not poor stocking but, intentional deceptive advertising and billing of their customers. The oddest thing is that when you question them on their sales the staff immediately become defensive...

    Today they had multiple signs on the Ion hair color creme saying if you buy 3 you get a free beach tote. I bought 3 and asked about the tote, the clerk really nasty said, "We're out and we won't be getting anymore." If they're not guilty of false advertising then why were the signs still on the shelf when they no longer had the item? They should have been taken down once they ran out of the totes shouldn't they? I am betting that they had no more than 2 totes in the store from the start? I've had the same thing happen with multiple items and multiple stores, but today just realized it's every sale, every time. They Probably never even have one Of the free items in stock. Sorry but, this is way more than coincidence. It's not only that they don't have the item, it's the attitude...they clearly act like someone guilty of getting caught doing something they know is wrong. Funny thing is, I didn't really even want the tote but, I did buy 3 hair colors...

    Maybe time for a class action suit. I'm not a believer in those but somethin's fishy at Sally's... It's happened so often that I'm positive it's company wide policy... Hmmm I'm going to start paying much closer attention... I have to return a blow dryer that the clerk talked me into last week telling me they allow returns for 90 days. I've had it only 10 days and it's in perfect condition...hardly used, just don't like it...Wanna bet there's an issue? I should stop shopping here but I do like the product selection... I'm going to shop with great caution from here on out and keep really good notes. This does not appear to be a company with much integrity. Watch your sales, coupons, ads and signage...

    I have been a loyal customer of Sally's since I started dying my hair red in 2002. That's THIRTEEN years of purchasing my hair color there!! I have been shopping at this particular Sally's since we moved to PA in 2007. The Sally's that I shop at is store #688 131 Hillcrest #C New Kensington, PA 15068. I was treated very poorly today, and depending on the response from corporate, I may never shop there again.

    When I was in there with my eleven year-old daughter today, she sudden'y had to go to the bathroom very bad. It was number 2, and she was holding her butt. I am sure everyone knows what that feels like. It's when you have to go, and you have to go NOW. AS a child it is VERY hard to hold that in. I ran to the register with my products in hand, and she began to check me out. I asked if my daughter could please use the restroom as she has to go very badly. The cashier responded with, "I'm sorry Ma'am, we're not allowed." I said that they let my daughter use the bathroom once before, and again the cashier responded with, "I'm sorry Ma'am, we're not allowed anymore. Do you have your Sally's card?" I then said, as I handed her my Sally's card, still with a smile on my face, "I'm sure you can make an exception for a Mom with small children." She then said again, "I'm sorry Ma'am, we're not allowed. That will be $21.24."

    I said, "please, she really has to go" as I handed the cashier my bank card to pay. My daughter was in near tears and holding her butt. Again I got the SAME CANNED RESPONSE as if the cashier was a robot that didn't care about us, "I'm sorry Ma'am, we're not allowed, you can take her to the Chinese restaurant." This restaurant was close by, and I was appalled that as a customer that was SPENDING money in their store, they couldn't make an exception to the rule and let my poor daughter use their bathroom. Instead they tell me to go somewhere that I have no intent on spending money, walk in, and ask to use their restroom, and face the chance of getting turned down AGAIN.

    The sale was done by now. I quickly grabbed my stuff, my receipt, and left. I drove through the parking lot, to a grocery store in the same plaza where I knew we could use the restroom. We ran to the back of the store with her crying and holding her butt still, and she made it. What an ordeal that could have been prevented by them just letting us use their bathroom. I am very upset by the way I was treated by that cashier. She wasn't nasty, she kept cordial, but it was evident that she didn't care about us at all. She showed NO CONCERN. Who doesn't care about a little girl that is in distress because she has to badly go to the bathroom? I don't have this person's name, and I cannot find any names on the receipt.

    I will never shop again at Sally Beauty Supplies because they do not know the meaning of customer service. 90 days ago I purchased a hair drier from them. The first drier I purchased I did not like so I decided to return it to a store that was more convenient for me. Clearly the manager was upset that I was not returning the drier to the original store I purchased it from. It also took them over 20 minutes to process my return because they did not know what they were doing and had to call the main office for help. However, the real issue is that the second drier I purchased completely fell apart and because I was slightly over their 60 day return policy the girls in the store would not do anything about it.

    There was no one in the store that had the authority to override the 60 day policy, an exception that should have been made. They asked me to come back a different day, which is ridiculous so I asked them to call a manager who also refused to allow me to make a new selection. I could understand if I was coming back to them 6+ months later, but this was only 90 days. I had to call customer service myself. Naturally the person I was talking to could not authorize anything so I had to wait to hear back from a District Manager. After 72 hours of not hearing I called them back. The manager called me back that day and left a message saying she would call back at a certain time, of course she did not. She also did not leave a phone number for me to reach her at. Two days later I called customer service again.

    By now I already had to go and purchase a different hair drier. When they finally offered me the ability to get a new drier it was too late. I had a new one from a different store that I liked. Sally Beauty Supply needs to do a better job of training their personnel. They also need to understand the meaning of customer service. Bed Bath and Beyond or Nordstrom's are two shining examples of stores that know how to treat a customer and make it their business to make the customer happy. This is not the case with Sally Beauty.

    The last issue I have with them is that whenever I go into the store for a specific brand they never carried that name brand. Of course they would offer a product that they said was the exact same. After using their recommended products I would soon be disappointed that it was not the same as the original product I intended to buy.

    Today was my last straw with this company. I have an event I'm going to on Saturday, since I work two jobs all the rest of the week, today was the only day to do my hair. My friend is a stylist who has been doing my color melt hair and it has always looked perfect, I just wanted the copper we were using to pop just a little more. I went into Sally's avoiding sales reps and found the same product I had been using and grabbed the next shade up. I then went to purchase it and the rep asked me what I was trying to do. I explained and showed her my faded blonde to orange to red color melt and explained this was to be the middle color. She then said, "You shouldn't use this color, this will NOT give you the color you want. You need this one." and handed me a color called "Intense red". I stated, "This is red, I'm going for orange".

    She then stated, "It's just called intense red, but it's really an orange, the color you have will not blend with your blonde." I was skeptical but she was acting so alarmed about the color I chose, I went against what I knew and what my stylist had said, and I got the color she recommended. My hair is now blonde with a serious sharp red line going into "intense red" that goes into "crimson red". My hair is utterly destroyed, I don't even want to go to work tomorrow with this hair. I'm going to have to wear pony tails to hide it until I can pay the same amount I paid today ($150 plus tip) to have it redone on Friday morning before I leave to go out of state for my Saturday event. Time I left free to pack and get ready to go out of state now has to be spent fixing my hair. Not to mention I'm out the $20 worth of product.

    Furthermore, the last time I bought color there was a promotion for buy one ion product get a free developer, bowl and brush. We got to the register and was told we had to buy a big bottle of developer to get the smallest bottle of developer free (we did). Later found out she didn't understand the promotion and made us pay more. Before this, I was recommended to use colors that didn't hold in my hair at all - I didn't complain, I just bought more color and redid it. Time before that - There was a buy one get one free promotion on Ion color, I bought 4 - I was charged for 4. This company just absolutely can not get their ** together and it ALWAYS costs me money. This time, it's costing me an extra $200 and I'm pissed.
