The Best 5 Hair Salon in Oak Harbor, WA (part 2)

Savannah Morse I normally never write reviews but this haircut experience was awful. I asked for an inch off the bottom, face framing pieces and a ton of layering. With extra emphasis on that I really needed a lot of layers for my curly hair. I fully understand that they’re understaffed and being rushed but I purposefully came in the early afternoon on a weekday to try and avoid it as much as possible and not cause more stress. I should have left the moment they ran a comb through my dry curly hair. It caused everything to frizz and they cut it that way, they didn’t dampen it to the point it would’ve made sense to even run a comb through it. The person who cut my hair rushed through it so poorly that I had to point out my hair cut was an uneven length in the front when they asked if I wanted anything else. There was little to no layering done, especially in the back. And I had to repeatedly ask for more layers. There was no true layering done anywhere I didn’t specifically point out and instead chunks of my hair were held up to the side and bluntly cut. Nothing was done to try and feather it out to look more natural. This hair cut somehow both makes my hair look like nothing was done and yet also worse? I now have large choppy layers in the front and very flat, with almost no layering, hair in the back. While they were cutting my hair they were talking to a coworker about how ready they were to leave and while I don’t want to be callous about that, it did feel as though my hair cut was extremely rushed due to that. When they finished my haircut, they sprayed it down with water and applied a huge gob of curl crème to my slightly damp hair. My hair was crunchy and sticky in patches for the rest of the day until I was able to wash it out. I would not recommend people with curly hair come here until the basics of cutting curly hair are communicated with the staff. I don’t know if this was their first time or if they were exhausted from a long shift but I’m unemployed and was so happy to be able to afford a hair cut with my coupon just to feel absolutely screwed over with a haircut worse than what I went in with. Please speak with the individual who has a pixie cut, as this seems out of character for a hair stylist.

M Wallace Been here four times each time with someone different and only once was I happy with my haircut. Today I received the worst butchering of my life. My haircut is very simple and I explained very clearly what I wanted which was also available in my clip notes…I did not want bald patches and uneven lines. If you’re feeling brave you might get lucky and get the one stylist who knows what they’re doing but it’s not worth the risk! Go anywhere else. I hear the haircuts in prison are decent-definitely can’t be worse than what you would get here.

katie tucker Only go here if you want to support the abuse of good dedicated workers. Management is abusive and atrocious. And dont think they care about the customers any more than they care about the workers. Their entire business model is to nickel and dime you until your 13 dollar haircut is 40 dollars. Shady business, even shadier owners and a sad excuse for management.

Lulu Raavel So disappointed to learn my favorite stylist. Amy- is gone. I only went to this shop because of how awesome a stylist she was. No one else there could ever cut my hair just right. I know several others who are upset about her being gone as well! I also recently was charged $22 for my grandsons haircut. He’s five and should have been charged for a child’s cut. I didn’t speak up and I should have. If I find out where Amy has gone that’s where I’ll be going too! No more Great Clips for me. (From what I hear now it’s more like NOT SO GREAT Clips….)

Armanda Kwiatkoski Worst cut ever!!! I wish I knew her name December 29 2024 I showed her what I wanted and got what she chose to do!!! Along with the sides, back and top are all too long and uneven!!!

Catherine Wicker I got a last minute appointment here as a first time client. Jenny was nice, made me so comfortable and her massage was 10/10. I got a 60 min deep tissue massage with cupping added on. In the future I’ll get the 90 min with cupping :) highly recommend Jenny.

Robin Chiang In town for weekend and every massage appointment at traditional spas were booked for Mother’s Day so tried this out despite reviews. Fantastic - Jenny did a terrific job with hot stones, deep tissue and worked all my travel tightness out of neck and back. I will be back. Nah, you don’t get cucumber water but it was clean, convenient and a great value with an excellent therapist (Chinese massage style). Will be back. (I didn’t have any issues with tipping. Paid at end with generous tip, so no issues)

Bobbi Vesco My sister in law is visiting from out of town and she wanted to go for a massage. We were a bit “leary” because of the reviews. Let me just say, “ this was one of the best massages I’ve ever had! My sister in law agreed! We paid in advance and tipped afterwards. I will be going back!

Brittany Z This place is amazing. It is totally worth the money and the tipping. They use their fingers, knuckles, palms, forearm, and elbows for the massage. Hot stones are included. If you look looking for a soft high end essential oil frilly foo foo not good massage.. this is not the place. However, if you want a good massage and your muscles Worked, THIS IS THE PLACE! Every time I have gone, I have always love satisfied, and very happy to tip them

Arielle Morgan If you’re going to run a business in a country that is not your first, it would behoove you to learn the native language at least enough to converse with customers. Secondly, in America we NEVER tip BEFORE the service nor would we EVER ask or demand for a higher tip. I would have tipped more but I had not received the massage yet and did not know what the quality would be. Classless people working here. Music for my massage was provided by YouTube with ads. Same song the whole time, on repeat. Song sounded like a rip off of a Christmas song. Yelling to other person in the spa during my massage. Genuinely felt at times like she was trying to hurt me. Draping was excessively sloppy. At one point the therapist threw the entire towel up in the air and then lowered it onto my lower half instead of walking to the bottom of the table and pulling down. If I were a more private person I would have been mortified. Just a bath towel for draping and no neck cradle so my face was smashed into the table the whole time and by the time it was over my eyes took 30 mins to stop being foggy from the pressure. Someone should also notify this woman that you don’t massage armpits while laying facedown. I’ve been to a lot of massage establishments and some outside of this country, so I have a very open mind. Despite the total lack of professionalism or proper technique, it was the way I was treated at the end that made me completely embittered toward it. I won’t recommend to anyone going forward. This was my second time trying this place. The first time I had a male therapist who was a lot kinder and more professional. Because of the way I was made to feel on the way out the door this last time by the young woman, I will not be going back again. And lastly, if you keep getting seedy folks coming in to your establishment, then maybe you should make it look less like a place that gives more than just massages. Fully covered windows is not a great look for a professional massage business. But they aren’t professional, so don’t bother going.
