I have been a customer of Journey's for a little over two years. The only reason I continue to go there is because of the location. I have been through three stylists there, who have all left the salon. I love my current stylist, but wish he worked at another salon.
Offhand, I have had a minimum of four hair disasters there. When I complained I received a chilly, rude reception by Soren. Afterward I went to another salon to have my hair corrected. It's not worth it to pay someone to be rude to you. I am one of those people who never complains. My hair has to look really bad for me to do so.
The owners Charlene and Soren have made me feel uncomfortable on more than one occasion. Charlene gossips and Soren never smiles. The atmosphere is unprofessional and an arrogant attitude is received by some of the employees. They are hardly an inside the loop experience as I recently read.
An inside the loop experience is when your stylist offers you a glass of wine or a soft drink and good conversation as though you are in a spa. You are made to feel beautiful even if you are not and you let the customer know that their patronage is valued. I would pay any amount of money for that experience and not have to drive so far to get it. This is not the case with Journeys.
At my last visit, I was so upset that no matter how convenient it is or how much I like the stylist. I felt like I was at a foreign nail salon, except I knew the language this time. It's really a shame that they can't see the bad image they reflect.
My husband also found their attitude to be superior and without merit.
