140 Salon & Blow Dry Bar

I am a future soldier who needed a haircut today. My hair is fairly long and I wanted a low-maintanence pixie cut and all one color for basic. I have damaged hair and didn't want all that fuss during boot camp so cutting my hair seemed sensible. After calling they agreed to see me as I stated I had literally no time (I am being taken to the Hilton tomorrow at 1 to check in and ship off on first thing Tuesday). My phone was dead and my boyfriend poked his head in to see how long this would take. Mind you, my boyfriend is black, and I am Pacific Islander. They kept questioning me about my boyfriend, saying I was "very upset" and then asked me (Linda, I think is her name) if I truly am okay and if there is something going on. They went on to wash and blow dry my hair and next thing I know, there was a cop in the salon because they called saying they were concerned. I have done nothing wrong but ask for a pixie cut that was approved and thought about for a while but instead they refused and said I can only get a trim and called the cops on me. I had done nothing wrong and had never had a run-in with the police and that was very upsetting. I had been ill for a few weeks so I thought I finally am receiving the cut I have been wanting. It was humiliating for a salon to be so racist to call the police only because we are an interracial couple. After being sick and calling salons all day to get my hair done and not being able to get the cut I want, is horrible service. There was no need for the police to be called. If you are a person of color, don't go to this salon. They are obviously racist. They will question everything and say it's strange and call the police even when everything is fine. If you are joining the military, don't go to this salon since they want to be condescending and think they know so much about military hair. Beware, you might get the cops called on you and/or an excuse why they can't cut your hair! 140 Salon, you guys had no right to do what you did and you guys should be ashamed! P.S. I wonder what the response from the owner will be like....

WOW. I first went to the dry bar for an eyebrow wax in October. At first I thought ~$15 for a wax job was insane. But Tiffany was amazing and she did a fantastic job!! After a month, I still didn't need another visit (had to pluck a few at home, but that's it). I've gone back 2 times since and absolutely love it!!! Every time I go, I request Tiffany. She's fantastic at her job and I truly love talking to her. Worth the wait and money!!

I just have to say that I am SO impressed with 140 Salon. I have had two great experiences, my most recent one being a blow out on my wedding day. Skylar did such a great job and she's so kind. I went for a bold red look and it turned out gorgeous. I am a permanent client. Thanks again for helping make my special day perfect. Edit: just added some pics for reference

They fit me in when the appointment didn’t show on their record and were very happy and welcoming. Can’t wait to go back!!

I have been waiting to write this review because I was hoping some of my many problems would be resolved. I went to the Southpoint location three weeks ago, which is dingy and not what you want from a salon experience. I needed a root touch up for my root shadow and balayage just to blen my highlights in. The stylist told me on repeated occasions that she didn’t know how to use their color line, which was proven by the 5 times she tried to dye my roots with no success. Additionally, she turned my blonde hair grey/purple. After 3.5 hours, I have purple hair and my roots were still not done. She then proceeded to charge me $170 despite stating that she knew it wasn’t right. She also talked about running her ex-husband over with her car while she was doing my hair. She had to wash my hair 5 times in total, which left my hair dry and damaged. I left the salon in tears (first time ever at any salon) and called the manager at the other location. She offered for me to come to the other location to have my hair fixed. Despite my frustration because I had already spent so much time there, I decided to go and let them fix it. Laurie fixed my hair for me, and she was the only positive part of this experience. The owner, who doesn’t even have a cosmetology license, told me it wouldn’t take long to fix my hair, but, as expected, Laurie said first thing that it would take a while. The owner also tried to tell me my hair wouldn’t be damaged after all this, but obviously it was. I couldn’t wash my hair for 6 days after this because it was so dry. Two hours later, my hair was fixed, but I called the owner back to express that I wanted a portion of my money back considering the whole ordeal took 7 hours out of my Friday. To top it off, she called me at 7 on a Sunday night to discuss a refund, and when I called her back on Monday I left a message but never heard back from her. Don’t take your business here.
