Vintage Hair Creations

do yall do dreadlocks for white people hair?

Don't go! Terrible place! No privacy for those in body wraps. People coming through the front door can see you and you're in the same room with every single other client she has. The building is very dirty and I felt uncomfortable from the moment I walked in. The owner is very pushy and she hovers over you throughout the entire session and talks incessantly. I had some negative side effects after my first wrap and called to tell her that I wanted to cancel my remaining sessions and she went on literally a 5 minute rant about how I need to respect her opinion and she's a professional (although she's by no means a professional by my standards) and I need to listen to her (regardless of my personal comfort or feelings). I feel scammed by her. I asked for a refund and suddenly the price of my wrap increased by 400%. I wish there was an option to give the business less of a rating because I have absolutely nothing good to say.

BODY WRAPS AT VINTAGE HAIR CREATIONS, OCALA, FL

I have been researching these wraps a little more and found that they recommend the full 40 minutes for the procedure. Wish I had known that before I had the treatments. I may have had better luck with the weight loss.



Vintage Hair advertises that you will receive 30 - 40 minutes, however, you will be lucky to get 30. Yet, beware if you bring that to the owner's (Christine) attention. She may bite your head off! That could be a way she tricks you into coming back for more and more wraps. I would recommend that you take a watch, phone, or time piece of some sort, because there are no clocks around to check your time. On several occasions, I did not even get the full 30 minutes she promised. Especially, the first one and the last one. These must be the "free" ones she speaks of in her radio ads. (They were both less heat intensive and with less time, only about 22 minutes.) One time, she turned on the unit before I was even done changing and then scolded me for losing my time. (I was actually EARLY for this appointment and she told me she needed me to hurry up so there would be enough time to finish her other appointment, who was running late.) How was that MY fault?



This infra-red body wrap at Vintage Hair Creations was NOT a pleasant experience for me. What you are told during the first appointment, is MISLEADING and NOT the way it actually is. But after you buy the full package, you're stuck. The owner (Christine) does not have a good "bedside manner." She is rude, aggressive, and unprofessional. She claims she is "Certified" to perform these wraps. Not sure what that means... She slaps the wraps on you like you are a piece of meat getting ready to be put in the grinder - One week they're tight, the next week, they're loose. Then, she sprays you with the cleaning product when she cleans the pads on the other bed!



She does NOT like to be challenged or questioned about the procedure. First, she tells you that you don't have to diet for this process to work. Then, halfway through your appointments, she scolds you for not losing weight! (I thought that's why I was there???) Her radio ad specifically says you WILL lose inches and weight. I DID lose about 3 pounds after the first two wraps, but it slowly came right back. I think that was probably the result of sweating and water loss. Again - misleading.



And her scale never matched mine at home. Kinda like the doctor's office! Also, my weight would flucuate sometimes by 3 or 4 pounds, if I got on her scale more than once! Yet, she said hers was the most accurate - ?



Every time I have been there she has been running behind. And, then she discusses all the DRAMA about her other customers and always complains about how tired she is. She is probably complaining about ME right now. I didn't feel important as a customer there at all. It's no wonder she has no employees - no one could work with her!



Now, the wraps DID seem to work. I do feel an inch loss in the way my clothing fits now. It took about 8 -9 weeks though for me to notice it, even though on paper there was an inch loss recorded. I would love to continue with more body wraps, but NEVER again at THIS salon. Won't somebody else please offer us this procedure at your salon and give her some competition? Maybe she will learn to treat her customers better!



If you are expecting a spa-like experience, think twice before you go in to this salon. I went home extremely agitated after each session and took it out on my family.

This lady hacked my hair. She didn't listen to what I asked for. She never answers the phone. There was another lady getting a body wrap at the same time I got my hair cut in the same room. With out so much as a screen for the woman's privacy. And she made the poor woman wait in the hot body wrap for over 10 minutes before getting her out. The shop in dirty. She picked up a towel off of the floor that my hair had been falling on and wiped off the scissors she used and put them back in the drawer. It was hot inside and she didn't have on the air or even a fan. Very unproffesional. My hair is uneven, there are chunks missing from it and several places where there are groups of hair that are a half inches longer than the rest. I walked out put my hair in a pony tail and called another salon while i was still in the parking lot.
