The Balayage Experience: A Cautionary Tale
While overwhelmingly positive, reviews reveal a nuanced experience surrounding balayage treatments. One customer, despite praising the “amazing service” and “10/10” customer care, expressed disappointment with the outcome of their balayage appointment. They report that despite showing inspiration pictures and discussing their desired look for almost five hours, the result resembled a full head of boxed dye rather than a balayage. This experience highlights a potential inconsistency.
“We spoke about what I wanted to get done and I even had inspo pics. I wanted a balayage but after almost 5 hours of trying achieve that, it looks like they just boxed dyed my whole head brown. No one could tell I had my hair done, after paying $270 🥲”
This situation serves as a reminder that while Hair and Beauty By Angela & Rose generally excels in its services, clear and consistent communication regarding complex colour techniques, such as balayage, is vital. Prospective clients considering balayage may benefit from a thorough consultation and realistic expectation setting.
Consistent Praise for a Positive Salon Experience

Customers consistently emphasise the friendly and welcoming atmosphere, attributing it to the staff's genuine kindness and welcoming smiles.
