Up In Tangles Salon

Do not waste your time or money at this salon, I went in asking for color, highlights, and a cut. I came out with my roots still showing, a haircut that no one can tell I got (myself included), and a horrible color job. I was unhappy, the owner knew it and the stylist knew it. The stylist tried a second time to cover my roots, and yet, still my roots show. They asked me to come back another time so they could fix it. But they already tried twice. Why would I go back to waste more time? The owner still had the nerve to say I owed $ 150. I look worse than when I went it!!! At least when I went in I just had roots showing, but the rest was fine. Now I have an ugly hair color, no visible highlights, and a haircut that never happened. I’m very unhappy. I was there almost 4 hours. This stylist has the title «Master Stylist» on her card. I don’t think so. But, I think it speaks for the low standards the owner has for her stylists. I could have done a better job at home by myself. And that’s what I’m doing today.

I had a Groupon for a haircut, highlights and style. I came on a Thursday evening since that’s one of their late nights and I was taken back immediately. Everyone there was very friendly, and I was happy with my cut/​color.
While I was happy with my hair, I still don’t know that this is going to be MY salon. I didn’t leave feeling super excited about my hair like I have with some other cuts.

I purchased a Groupon for $ 70 worth of services. Before finalized the Groupon, I called salon & asked the rate for partial highlights & was told $ 60. Asked again when making the appt. & was told the same price. Went in for the highlights & when done, was told I owed $ 20. Let me add that I have EXTREMELY fine/​thin hair so I was not expecting to pay more, I was expecting to be well over the amt. needed to cover costs. I questioned the charge & receptionist 1^st said it must have been b/​c the stylist added extra highlts… NOT!!! & then she said it was b/​c I had a blow dry. Nvr have I pd. $ 30 for a blow dry after a highlt. or pd. anything extra for that matter. Mgr. wasn’t there to discuss so I talked to her the next week & she was not willing to give me credit… only correct the unnoticeable highlts. Yeah, like I would go BACK THERE??? I don’t think so! Highly disappointed!!! Stylist was nice tho… I can say that much.

Overpriced salon! Diana did my highlights and color and it didn’t even look good. I couldn’t even see the highlights in the front. I paid over 100 for my hair and wasn’t happy. I will not be coming back!

I was forced to go to this salon because my friend was getting married and she wanted her brides maids to get their hair styled here with her the morning of her wedding. The salon supposedly set up special pricing for our «updos» but when I went to check out, I was forced to pay about $ 25 more than the others because the stylist had to use a flat iron on my hair! WTF? All I had done was a simple, sleek pony tail, the others in the wedding party had elaborate updos and were charged much less. Ridiculous! The stylist could barely speak English and when I tried to explain what I wanted she was clueless. This place was like going to a cheap salon in the country. Tacky décor and unprofessional staff and over-​priced services. Stay away!

You ever been to an Italian family’s house for dinner? They talk, they laugh, they bust your balls, but when all is said and done, they plié you with great food and wine and you feel like you’ve got a second home to go to should the need ever arise. Now imagine that your new Uncle Tony-​you know, the one who gives great advice, wears the nice aftershave, and cooks a mean chicken parmigiana-​can cut hair. That was my experience with Up in Tangles.
Tony LaVista has been cutting hair for almost thirty years. When I sat down in his chair, he peered down through his glasses and took a handful of my hair and said «good hair. You’re going gray early though!» When I confessed that I was pushing forty, he said, «Oh, I thought you were much younger!»
That right there was enough to make me like him.
Nevertheless, we had an actual discussion about what I wanted and he circled around me, sizing up my face and making mental notes. He then told me he was going to chop about 5 inches before we went to the shampoo chair, I agreed, and like that, the last of my old color was on the floor.
We had a nice conversation about family, music, bald guys… oh, and he cut my hair well too. Some people like to get in and get out and not really have a conversation with their stylist, but not me. I may be shy but I’m interested in people, and it just feels awkward to have a complete stranger touching my hair in cold silence. I was so moved by the experience I had to give Uncle Tony a hug.
The salon it self is smallish but comfortable. It doesn’t have that supertrendy Montrose feel to it, but it’s definitely not a backwards ‘burb type salon either. Everyone there was very friendly, and I was offered a drink as soon as I arrived. The cost was very reasonable, and for the first time that I can ever recall, no one tried to push product on me (I’m still in a little disbelief over that one). I’ll be going back to Uncle Tony for color (that’s right, folks, I’m all natural now-​dirty blonde with a touch of gray, MROWR!) soon. If you’re looking to get your hair cut by someone skilled and totally unpretentious, and you don’t want to pay a whole day’s wages, go see Uncle Tony. It’s a deal you can’t refuse!
