Salon Experience
The reviews highlight the contrast in experiences at the Rakis on Collins salon in Melbourne. One reviewer had a positive experience with Leidy, describing her as a hair wizard who exceeded their expectations with a balayage treatment and hair cut. Another reviewer had a negative experience with Leo, who failed to meet their expectations, lacked bedside manner, and provided a poor haircut.
Haircuts and Consultations
The negative review highlighted the importance of a thorough consultation before a haircut. Leo failed to ask questions, ignored the client's concerns, and did not provide a proper consultation. The client felt that Leo was busy and did not care about their needs. In contrast, Leidy was attentive and took the time to explain the best haircut options for the client's damaged hair.
Staff Performance
Leo's performance was heavily criticized, with the client feeling that he needed retraining to meet the company's standards. The client felt that Leo lacked bedside manner, did not communicate effectively, and provided a poor haircut. In contrast, Leidy was praised for her expertise, kindness, and attentiveness.
