I’m incredibly disappointed by the hair extension service I received from Clarissa on October 26, 2025. I came in with a clear vision—a warm, subtle, lived-in brown look that the stylist agreed was achievable. Instead, the results were the complete opposite of what I asked for. The extensions were stark white and almost black in places, with no blending at all. It looked nothing like the reference photo I provided.Worse than the appearance was the physical discomfort. The extensions were placed so poorly and so close to my scalp that I was in constant pain afterward. By the next day, after gently washing my hair, the streaks looked even more uneven, and the discomfort became unbearable. I had to have everything removed by another salon within a week and they immediately confirmed the placement, color choice, and quality were all unacceptable and damaging to my natural hair.I trusted Clarissa, and instead I left with scalp irritation, breakage, and a result that caused embarrassment and distress. I reached out privately hoping to resolve things professionally, but that didn’t happen. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Clarissa for extensions. Please proceed with caution if considering using her for extensions, she charged me over $2000 for color and extensions and has refused to respond to my concerns for over a month.Edit to add that Clarissa has continued to lie, she often has stylists she employs or friends and family review her and recommend her. I did not remove the K tips myself and never said that. I did say I paid to have an extension specialist remove them, in addition to the 2k I paid Clarissa, I also paid another $500 to have my hair fixed as much as possible but was still left with super short hair, damage, and obviously out a whole day of my life and $2000.Avoid this stylist at all costs, she does not know what she is doing and I have spoke to other customers who have also had terrible extension services done.
