User Reviews for Revolution Hair & Body Salon

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

05/12/2008 Posted by savannan

I've been getting my hair cut at Revolution for awhile now by Diana and she does the most amazing job ever. The entire staff is really warm and friendly and very attentive to clients' needs -- moreso than any other salon I've been to. I recently had my brows butchered elsewhere and went to Revolution to get them waxed after letting them grow out for awhile. My thanks goes out to Jerri for giving me what may be the best wax I've ever had in my life. I've never been so pleased with my eyebrows before!

Pros: Service, atmosphere

Cons: None!

This salon rocks my socks off everytime I go there. Jerri kicks major booty at everything she does, including running a buissness. I don't know who this "veeva" person is, but I think they are just some poor bitter person who has never sat in Jerri's chair. I'm treated like a princess everytime I go and I go a lot. I'm probably in there getting waxing, facials or hair about twice monthly. I'm addicted to these wonderful people and the excellent service they give. I've recieved practically every service they offer there, and never had a bad experience. Jerri pampers me in the facial chair like I was royalty and all the girls cut and color hair like true artists. I have friends and family who go to them because of my recomendations and still go there because of the great service. So whomever you are that wrote that bogus review, put up your dukes 'cause I'm willing to fight anyone so rude as you! Love, Abbe P.S. Love ya Jerri!

Pros: Everything! The atmosphere, the staff, the products, and the service all rock!

Cons: Not many parking spaces, but no ones perfect.

I have been getting my hair done at Revolutions for over a year now. I went there because a friend recommended them, and the last place I had been really did a terrible cut... so I went to Revolutions to get it fixed, Betsy, and Dianna have both done my hair and they do the best job ever! These ladies are professionals and know what they are doing. I have watched the owner, Jerry do hair while mine is being done, and she is amazing also. This is a salon with really great stylists. Its a MUST if your need a good stylist. Sharon

Pros: The ladies are great stylists and the atmosphere is great

Cons: parking is small in front, but do have some also in back

I have been coming to Revolution since it opened and was extremely shocked to read "the highly not recommended" review written on 4/10. Not only have I (and my family) been treated professionally, but the staff is highly experienced and friendly. The atmosphere at Revolution is fun and comforting. I'm sure that if anything bad ever happened to me, the staff there would be the first to admit and rectify it. I have turned many of my friends onto Jerri and her Revolution and they keep going back. I don't imagine that will change anytime soon.

Pros: Friendly/fun atmosphere, professional staff

Cons: Absolutely none

I had my hair colored and cut by the owner Jerri. She totally ruined my hair and my outfit. The coloring was done poorly and the cut was noticeable uneven. She even got coloring on my clothes which happened to be white and of course she didn't say anything. I later found several large sized color stains on my back. I also had to point out things to her that didn't look right or even, but it didn't get any better. She even asked other stylists for advice on what to do. Needless to say my hair was a mess and I went to another salon to fix her mistakes a few days later. The other stylist I went to was sick while looking through my hair at what a crappy job Jerri. She also let me know I wasn't the only one this has happened to and knows of others Revolution horror stories.

Pros: Can't think of one

Cons: Location, parking, unprofessional staff, repeated attempts at trying to persuade customers to purchase their products

Legitimate?
Posted on 04/25/2008
I have been out of town and returned to this review. Prior to leaving, I was only accepting request and current client bookings. I have checked through my records over the past two months and cannot for the life of me figure out who you are. If this is legitimate, I am of course horrified to hear such a story. Anyone who knows me or the staff here at Revolution would never believe a story where I ruin someone's clothes and not say something or make sure I took care of something like that. If this is simply an attempt to hurt us and our reputation, that's okay. The truth always prevails and I am proud of the work and professionalism we provide. That is not to say our way is great for everyone. As a consumer myself, I would always want to give someone a chance to make things right before trying to hurt them professionally. If this is legit, please bring in your article of clothing that was ruined. I would be happy to take care of that. Jerri K

I was nervous in choosing a new salon. I just moved across the country and seached here for a new salon. WOW! Extremely pleasant! I got a terrific color and haircut! I was gently helped to find product for my hair. I felt completely at ease. Easy to find location for someone who has just moved. For me, the parking was not a problem. I really cant say enough about how wonderful the ladies are! Easy to talk to and extremely helpful. I look forward to coming back again and again. I was offered so much more than just new hair color. I was treated to a beverage if I was inclined. I really felt like Diana listened to me about what I wanted to do with my hair, and had the benefit of her expertise. I appreciate the time that she took to make sure that she was not only going to do what I wanted, but what would work for me. I am amazed at the changes in my hair since I have moved. I have curly hair that just seemed to go completely crazy now that I have moved here. I came in with boring hair and left feeling completely renewed! I have hair that works for me here. By taking the time to get to know me, they have already helped me to make future appointments that will work for me. This little extra attetion is very much appreciated. Thank you! Thank you! I look forward to becoming a long time customer. :D

Pros: Atmosphere and Expertise

Cons: N/A

Dianna rocks!

Dianna is such a professional, talented hairdresser. I'm so lucky she has been with me from day one and continues to inspire and care for her loyal clientele. xoxoxo jerri

Only been once, but they were very nice, patient, talented and reasonable. I will definitely go again. The only drawback is an awful location, but I guess that can't be helped. ..

I'm sorry you had trouble parking! We have a lot down below on the side of our building that has access from behind our building. Now it should be much easier! jerri k

I have been getting my hair done at Revolution since they opened, and I have been highly satisfied every single time! Everyone that works there is so friendly and accomodating, and they always give me good advice on how I should change my hair, or what would look good. It was the first place I've ever been truly satisfied on how the coloring turned out on my hair. They are very knowledgeable about which hair colors will actually work on my hair. I am just so lucky to have found revolution.

Everyone was really nice, but the stylist didn't do a very good job. It was uneven, cut way to short, and she didn't style my hair. I don't like walking out of a salon with a wet head. To me that isn't even finished. For $45.00 I expect my hair to be cut even, dried, and styled . Sorry, not happy.

I'm so sorry you were not satisfied with your experience. I watched the stylist cut your hair, and saw that she did check the cut for balance and accuracy. Sometimes the tiniest adjustment can make a big difference, and we always tell our clients that if any adjustments need to be made over the next week or two of their appointment, to just stop by and anyone here would be happy to make them. As far as styling, I think the stylist thought your cut looked best styled straight. We always appreciate input from our clients, and we have discussed that more communication could have been approached with you in regard to your styling. If you would like to come in for a touch up and some additional styling, I would happy to personally take care of that myself. Jerri Kangrga, Owner.

I kept complementing people at my office about how their hair looked so great and finally found out that they had all gone to this salon. So I made an appointment and loved what Jerri the owner did for me. I am not a very "girly girl" and Jerri recognized that (and the fact that I was a newly empty-nester so needed a boost) and so I let her be creative and she decided a little color would be fab and did not push an extreme new cut. I plan on going back soon for another dose of color and maybe a little more fun cut. I totally loved the super relaxed atmosphere and great conversation as well. Can't wait to find time to go back!

Pros: Excellent esthetic skill, great company, relaxed atmosphere, no pressure to buy products

Cons: first time there go early to figure out where to park
