Would you let a Walmart stylist do you hair?

[HanaKuroi]

I live in Boston and I've never seen a salon at any of the local Walmart's. Which Walmart are you guys visiting?

Oh and NO LOL
I am always surprised when I read about members here getting relaxers at JC Penney. Sorry but I couldn't do it.

I have never seen a walmart salon either.

I can't see any mentions on my IPhone. PM me if it is a must see. Allons y

Yup! Did it last December. She was great. A tad unprofessional, but she straightened my hair perfectly and trimmed my ends like I asked. I would absolutely go again

I hate all things Walmart because of their treatment of employees and small businesses, but in reference to your question - I think there are great stylists at "cheap" unsuspecting places (like Walmart) and WAY over-rated stylists and WAY over-priced placed. It's about the person, not the location.

I got my relaxer at Smartstyle (inside walmart). My stylist did a great job. The only reason I never went back is because I big chopped 2 months after. It was pretty pricy though. I think $50 for the relaxer, $20 for trim and another $20 for a style. Chain salons usually have a la cart prices

When I was relaxed I got my relaxers done at Walmart and she did a good job. The only reason I stopped going because at that time they implemented a walk in only policy. You couldn't make appointments. It just became inconvenient.

As a previous poster said, check out the place talk to the stylist(s) and then go from there.

I haven't been there, but I used to go to fantastic Sam. I loved the three ladies there that did my hair. My hair was extremely healthy. They took very good care of me. I need to find my old stylist. I think I will go back to her when my hair gets longer.

Lol. Wal-Mart doesn't employ stylists - SmartStyle does You can't even purchase a Wal-Mart item in the salon because the registers won't ring it up.

I guess a lot of people bring that negative connotation of Wal-Mart with them to SmartStyle because I hardly ever see anyone in any of their salons. Makes you wonder why they don't move out and go somewhere more reputable...

i KNOW they would even profit a huge amount more if they moved into target

Well I'm in Texas. Houston

I guess you walk in on another side?

I've gone a few times in my relaxed days in between my stretches for a wash and flat iron. It was a black lady that did my hair so I assumed she had experience and it came out quite nice as she able to get that fresh relaxer look in my 6 month stretch. It says cheap although she charged me a $10 "long hair fee", my hair was barely shoulder length at the time

lol what?!

I tend to not go to salons like that. I went to my wal-mart for a trim and I ended up with a blunt cut. It was so ugly since my ends are curly. I ended up looking like a triangle head. Had to go to Aveda to fix it and put some layers. Now I know this could have been due to the stylist not so much that she worked at Walmart, but I did ask her if she had experience with curly hair and she said she did so

They don't work at walmart though lol. It's like saying the workers at Auntie Annie's or McDonalds located in some walmarts work for walmart lol. They work for Smart Style.
