EXTREMLY DISSATISFIED

by knocknot

Worst haircut in my life and I paid top dollar!!!!!!Do yourself a favor and go to any other salon except Akari. I felt uncomfortable in the salon as the staff was snotty and extremly non friendly. I hated my hair when I left. I had just a simple trim and layers. Before dyring my hair, the stylist asked me if I liked the layers or wanted more. I could not decide if I trusted him to cut more as I was not really happy in the first place. While I was deciding if I needed more layers his exact words to me "you need to hurry up and decide I have another client waiting"!! My face literally turned red with furry and I said nope it's fine and walked out of the booth. If I wanted that type of service and quality I would have gone to a super cuts or something. I paid top dollar for a poor hair cut and terrible service. I did call to complain and got a apologetic sorry. I wanted my money back!!! I will never...never go there as long as I live. If the cut was great that would be another story but it was horrible....Save your money and go elsewhere!!!

• Pros: cafe
• Cons: noisy, crowded, poor cut and service, snotty employees

NOT WHAT I EXPECTED

by evamen

Absolutely do no recommend Akari. Only been there once and will not go back. NO only did they over charge me and refused to refund my money until the manager called me three days later after realizing they did make the error, my pedi was terrible. The atmosphere was snotty. No one greated me, showed me around or even acknowledged I was there. I felt akward and out of place. Not exactly the service I expect when I am paying their higher than average prices. After reading the other horrible reviews on this salon I don't feel so bad. Trust me, don't pay their high prices thinking you might get high quality because they can't bring it!!

So.....So

by seqlt

Been to Akari several times for diferent treatments. If you have your hair cut and colored you have two different people who don't seem to communicate very well, and many times I have ended up waiting around with a wet head for my haircut. The colorists there to put it gently fried my hair, and there seems to be a great turnover of hair cutters. I would get used to one person and he/she would leave and end up with someone new and not familiar at all with my hair. I had a good massage therapist there but she has since left as well. Michelle who does facials, etc. is wonderful, I will continue to go to her....
