Sage Tryall Salon in Lynchburg, VA

I thought long before I decided to actually write this review. Multiple people that I have shown my hair to have requested that I do it. I came to Sage Tryall to get a blonde balayage. I started off telling the women doing my hair the things I hated about my hair. I previously had my hair lightened at another salon before attempting to go to Sage for a blonde balayage. With that, it should have been easier to attempt because my hair was light. After the coloring and blow drying there was no "Omg! I love it!" Instead, I was told, "I'll be right back." After sitting there for 10 minutes I looked around and noticed several employees looking at my hair and talking about it. My hair had come out a brassy blotchy mess. I was then approached by another hair stylist who explained that we could either leave it the way it was or throw a gloss on top of it. Of course, I did not want my hair to be brassy and have bleach blots in it, so I said let's put a gloss on it. It was a little better but not anything like the blonde balayage I had requested. I left and was depressed about spending over 300 dollars for hair that was not great. I received a phone call after I left a review the next day offering to fix my hair complementary. I also went to my husband's hairdresser and she informed me of what went wrong. She said they took the bleach out too fast and that it was clear they had started with the back and worked their way to the top because the underneath was more light than the top. I took off work to get my hair fixed and returned to this salon. While getting my hair done for the second time I asked if I was charged for the gloss thrown on my hair the previous time and was told yes. The girl who redid my hair was super sweet and I'm sure she does a fine job with hair. None of this is her fault. However, I have brown hair now. All over brown that received damage in the process of trying to be blonde. I'm truly upset that I was not told by the original hair stylist that she did not think she could achieve blonde balayage. I'm upset that I was charged for gloss to "fix" my hair. I'm upset that I took time off work to try and have my hair fixed to only end up with brown. The women at my work and everyone I know have said you need to leave a review, so people know not to go there for blonde. And everyone is appalled that I paid 300 dollars for this hair. I've asked so many people about my hair and they just think I was taken advantage of.

After decades of going to the same salon and paying ridiculously high prices, I decided to mix things up a bit and try Sage Tryall Salon. Now, I'm kicking myself for not going sooner! Frankly, I was super nervous trying a new place but, after being patient while I described what I was hoping to achieve, Reba (my stylist) hit it out of the park. The service started with a wonderful hair washing in literally the most comfortable washing station I ever experienced. There was no jerking or tipping my head way back! There's also footstool to make the chair comfortable on my back. After a deep scrub and scalp massage, Reba worked her hair-cutting magic and then gave me a wonderful blow-out. The result: hair perfection! I couldn't ask for another better haircut, and it was at a reasonable price. Thank you, Reba! See you in a couple months!

Reba is a great stylist with a sweet spirit. I always leave there feeling confident. She listens to what her client really wants and you can tell she has a passion for what she does.

Olivia did AMAZING!!! she takes me through my cut idea and I was able to fill her in on my hair experience and what my issues were as well as my crazy hair texture. She was able to cut and style it according to the flow and eb of my hair! It looked amazing! It's been about two months and the cut has help up really well as it's grown out and my hair texture starts to come through more. I highly suggest this place! They are a little pricey but you get what you pay for

The top of my hair is a different color than the ends. I am very dissatisfied and disappointed in this business. I will never go back. The color is not correct!
