Response from Roar Giffnock
Hi Anonymous,
This review really surprises me. I know you have posted this anonymously however I am aware of your full service and results as I was part of your consultation.
When we have a review of any less than 5 stars it is so important to me that we find out where we can improve.
In this instance I feel that you might not be telling the whole story. So I would like to address some points in this review.
You did receive a warm copper brown balayage because that is what you asked for and also showed a reference photo as such. We also explained that it was going to be much warmer than what you have had before and you agreed that it would be a good change. Niamh is absolutely one of our youngest members of the team but that does not diminish her skill. The look she created for you was exactly what you had asked for and was charged accordingly for work that was over a 3hour appointment. She also cut off what you asked her to cut off.
You were not quoted any price on the phone and I know this for sure because it was me who took your booking. We don’t quote for colour work when we haven’t seen the head of hair yet in person.
Niamh quoted you at the start of your visit for a full head balayage service then rightly so when you questioned the price also gave you options where we could do a little less work if your first choice didn’t suit. You chose to go ahead with the full service even after the price breakdown so i am struggling to see how we have “ripped you off” when we explained every price aspect of the service before we started? All new guests receive a shampoo and conditioner this is a gift for choosing ROAR.
I am the “man in charge” as you described me and your comment about not making eye contact is simply just not true I’m an experienced hairdresser of 22 years eye contact is essential in my role and i absolutely made eye contact with you while I explained that you did not receive a quote from me on the phone. I think what happened was you got a little defensive because you hadn’t realised that it was me you were speaking with and you were caught out trying to manipulate the price so that is a lie.
To close I'm glad you have decided you wouldn’t come again because respectfully you are not welcome. You got exactly the hair that you asked for and you were told exactly how much it would cost before any work started. You have falsely reviewed my business and you have posted this review thinking you would get something for nothing which is proven by your actions to try and manipulate the price in the first place.
I ask you if you have had “the hair you want” at other salons…. Why come to us? Or perhaps there is good reason why you no longer go to these salons either?
