Having my hair cut and styled at Kalista was the second worse experience I've ever had at a salon. This place is a joke! An expensive joke -you'll pay once for their so called 'stylist' to give you a cut that's inappropriate for your hair texture and face shape and then you'll have to pay a true professional to perform damage control. Apathy reigns at Kalista Salon. The standard for who they will let operate a chair at this salon is low. Oh ya, and the before and after pictures of their hair extensions are laughable. I simply can't relive the trauma of my salon visit by going into further detail but I can advise you to STAY AWAY FROM KALISTA SALON!!!!!!
Cons: I'm still cying!!

I don't understand why you are upset? Is it your hair cut? because you mentioned extension before and after page too. I'm sorry if didn't get the cut you were looking for. I really hope you could maybe come back and give us another chance. As a matter of fact you mentioned that we will let anyone work here. That is not true. Our staff has to have at least 4 years in the industry; they go though two interviews one being a personality test, then they have to perform a service of color and a haircut. After that we decide who we will hire. It's really hard to get a job here we have lots of resumes and turn people away all the time. So our standards are not low they are very high. Thank you for allowing me to mention all of that. Often times you don't have a chance to say how you get your staff. But the are amazing all of them, even our past employees. Even the ones that i was closest too and now at times write a bad review because they are hurt. I love you anyway! I wish you all the best.
