Sally Beauty Supply A worker

It is quarentine but there were 3 workers only allowing 2 costumers in the store at one time. I had to wait outside the store inline to go inside and another lady and I started talking about how they had 3 workers and only let 2 costumers in at once. So I politely waved over a worker through the window and asked if me and the other lady could tell her what we wanted and we could pay some how, but when I asked she said the other lady and I were being extremely rude and refused service to the both of us. I am never going back. That was the worst costumer service. I don't think that lady should be allowed to work with the general public anymore. She was very disrespectful to me and the other lady I was standing with. I hope she gets fired.

Sally Beauty Supply store management

Sally Beauty Supply In Batesville Ar is under very poor management. I am a salon owner and have been in the store several times recently and could not complete my purchase and had to leave the store. The computer is always down or just won't take my discount pro card. Tonight the whole register locked up after my large order was rang up and I had to leave it.
The store is under new management and can't keep employees and new employees are often left alone in the store and have no idea what they are doing. The store is also very poorly stocked.
I have had to leave the store several times and drive 40 miles to Searcy to their Sally store.

They are not my competition. I'm a small country salon owner and I buy my supplies from them. You are very confused.

Please allow me to withdraw my complaint. I will be speaking with management tomorrow.

Sally Beauty Supply customer service

On Monday, January 20, 2019 around 545pm, I entered into the local Sally's. I was on the hunt for 3 Different items. When I first opened the door someone yelled "welcome to Sally's". And that was only because of the door alarming them that someone walked in. I then make my way to the gel aisle and there was a very large African American woman (employee) with a shopping cart putting away items. Not only was she in my way, but she never greeted me. I continued to attempt to look for the product and she acted as if she didn't even see me. Any person that works in the retail business can tell when a customer is looking for something. I mean it's quite obvious when u are good at providing great customer service. She never once asked me if I needed any help. Just continued to put away items. At one point she makes eye contact with me and still doesn't say a thing! Then the other employee who was there walked past me and actually had the nerve to say "excuse me" but never greeted me or ask if I needed any help! So once the large lady finally moved out my way, I found one of the items I was looking for. By this time I was so frustrated I decided to get the one item and leave. Once I go to the register, here comes the large lady again. Here was her chance to "close the sale". As in greet, ask me if I found everything I was looking for, you know, the basic retail customer service. I got nothing. Only thing she said was "do you have a rewards card". So at that moment, I decided I was not making my purchase and spending my hard earned money in a place like this. So I told her "nevermind" and walked out. I will be taking my business elsewhere. Please make sure these 2 associates are retrained on customer service because clearly they suck at it and I will be telling all of my family and friends not to support a place like this.

Sally Beauty Supply karol the manager

My daughter worked there and had to quit along with two others. The manager was very rude and unprofessional and even made a video about them calling them f* idiots and put it on social media. I have the video and would like to show someone who can take care of this. This happened at Sally's store #10348

Sally Beauty Supply manager/corporation

Manager treats employees extremely rude and unfairly. As I walked past the back room, I could hear the manager yelling at 2 of her employees and cussing at them. The manager talked to the employees like children and complained about corporate constantly when I was in there. This is extremely unprofessional and should not be tolerated in a work environment.

Sally Beauty Supply unprofessional manager

I bought a foot file from the store and wanted to exchange it because it fell apart after the first use. I brought it in and told them I didn't have a receipt but I had just bought it the day before and wanted to exchange. I was told they couldn't do that without a receipt I said I read online there's a 100 percent satisfaction guarantee to exchange and the manager told me next time I needed to keep the receipt. I don't appreciate being talked to like I am a child and I don't appreciate her trying to tell me I cannot exchange an item without the receipt when clearly I can. When the lady behind the register went to get the manager she came out from the back popping bubble wrap and asked us what we needed from the back of the store and when we told her we wanted to exchange something she asked "huh?" While still in the back popping bubble wrap walking up to us. She's super unprofessional and the whole experience makes me not wanna shop there anymore. I was respectful to her and I deserved to be treated better than that.

Sally Beauty Supply employees

On Wednesday (11-6-19) I went into Sally to get a few items that I needed. As I walked past the "employee room" I could smell marijuana. There were two employees working and I didn't feel like it was appropriate for me to mention anything to them. I think it's highly inappropriate to be doing these things in the workplace. I think employees anywhere should be randomly drug tested to prevent these things from happening.

Sally Beauty Supply employee

Me and my family went in to have a good night dying our hair and got accused of stealing a hair brush and had the cops called on us and were told to leave. No one stole anything we were trying to have a good night and for someone to accuse us because of the way we look was unacceptable! She was recording us and following us from the moment we walked in, I didn't catch her name but she has blonde hair and glasses an older lady. We had a problem with her giving us attitude last time we went to this location and we've been going here for 2 years consecutively and will never go again even though it's the closest and we always would shop there! She needs to be fired it's unacceptable!

Sally Beauty Supply visuals

I can provide imagines of the incomplete nail polish visuals. The associate instead of giving me an alternative option to test out polish she said for me to buy them try them on and return them after because Sally's isn't providing them with any plastic nails visuals anymore. I was open to returning to the store once displays were complete so I asked her when will your displays be complete so I can come back And that was her response, for me to purchase them use them and return them because Sally's isn't providing Visuals anymore. So your telling me that I don't have an alternative in the store but I can use a polish and return it, which will lead to you having to damage them out and lose money. So they're Influencing customers to buy product use it and return it rather than providing customer service and taking a blank plastic nail out from the back and allowing customers see what the polish will look like.

If the associate would of explained to me that visuals will be complete by the end of week or even month I would of returned so I can have a better visual of he polish. But she instead encouraged me to buy items and return them, which will lead to a loss.

As a retail district manager, I will recommend for the associates in this location to be trained to save the company money and learn how to come up with a solution for the customer rather than blaming the company saying "Sally's isn't providing us with those anymore". It takes nothing for them to get a plastic clear nail and engage with the customer and show them how the polish may look instead of sitting behind a register at 3pm talking across the store to say not to try the polish on just buy it and return it.

I know the policy is not to open and try on in the store but There were clear nails put out that she should have used to show me what they may look like. Customer service is more than what I just experienced.

I worked at Sally’s and went out of my way to help customers while attempting to make management happy. I am sure she would have let you try it on if she could have put they consider it a loss and would have said she stole it. They are losing customers and tons of money because of management nothing more or less that’s a fact. If it is open I would not touch it, trust me on this

Sally Beauty Supply management's refusal against my medical condition I was born with.

In the past I have some issues while pregnant going to Sally's in Bellevue / crossroads. I explained to them at that time I was pregnant in a type 1 diabetic high risk pregnancy and at times I really have to go to the bathroom or I'm going to have an accident they let me go. I'm not pregnant and I walk in today and go look at products and suddenly I have an urge where I need to really pee. I explained that I'm a type 1 diabetic my sugar levels have been elevated today due to stress I'm having and I really need to use the bathroom or I'm probably going to have an accident. There was three employees at the register. She says there's a Michaels across the street. That actually was my next place to go. I walked away from the manager at the cash register and said I hope I peed my pants. Embarrass is everybody staring at me. I'm walking back and forth in the potty dance to get what I need.somehow I was able to control it still had to go to the bathroom but the urge was not as bad. Not often does that happen. I got to the register talking to a lady explaining I'm a type 1 diabetic and I'm going to find information online about the law to do with type 1 diabetics and bathroom issues Emerson at the corporate. I said an if you think I'm lying look at my wrist I have a type 1 diabetic tattoo instead of bracelets for medical situations. Can I get the name of your manager. She was actually the lady I talked to. She did not give me her name. She really have not much to say. I said obviously you don't know anything about type 1 diabetics. I was kind of getting upset trying to explain but it didn't really make sense. I wanted to say when your sugar levels are high your pancreas and kidneys are overworking and a side effects for that is urgency to pee. As I'm walking away she looks at me with disgust I have a swimsuit top covering my stomach and pants that are wet. Not sure what she was thinking wet myself or why would I come in looking like that. I've had a very stressful day I spent time in the pool with my son before I came to Sally's and I was not dry. I went to Michael's to use the bathroom almost didn't make it. Had to go to Walmart to pick up my order. And then I had to stop by the house to pick up some clothes and guess what I'm going to grab the clothes I had to run back by my car open the door crano and saw and had to go potty outside because there was no way I was going to make it. I really wish that happened in the store to let her see how serious I was. She was very unprofessional. I understand there's no public bathroom. So do you tell everyone with a medical condition that they can't use the bathroom? type 1 Diabetes is something you're born with try googling high sugar levels and symptoms see what happens. He probably see frequent urination dry mouth thirsty kidney failure Kitty acidosis confusion life threatening and other things. In the past it was very serious I had my heart jump-started twice highest blood sugar level over lake ever saw and in ICU for 5 days with an insulin drip. Do you know how it feels to be refused by telling someone you're a type 1 diabetic showing them you have a tattoo stating your type 1 diabetic. I did send an email out to diabetes association and what happened with your company. I'm waiting to hear back on how I should move forward. I hope next time I'm in there I never see her face. I never once felt so embarrassed being in there because of that situation. I'm 34 and I can say there are many times I've had a pee in public parking spots we're on the side of the freeway because there was no way I could hold it in I peed my pants thankfully that didn't happen when I got the Michaels it almost at though. I hope you could see my frustration and I hope you have a generous email back to me. I'm still discussing on how she handled the situation. she made me feel like I didn't belong in that store because of the way I looked. I never asked to me diabetic.

Sally Beauty Supply store manager awful customer service

I already did one complaint, but I guess it disappeared! I recently visited Sally's in search of a flat iron and more beauty needs! Upon entering I was greeted in a not so inviting way by A lady whom claimed to be the store manager badge name Lakeitha or something like that. Was basically judging me about the products I was looking to purchase. I told her I do hair, and to sum it up she basically was like she don't like [censored]s to do her hair. She also stated that she's be scared to catch aids. Of course I did not purchase what I came in there for because of her rudeness! If sally corporation doesn't to anything my next step is to news and social media. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter! I'll have the lgbt 🏳️‍🌈 community on my side!

I came into the store looking for flat irons in other beauty needs. The store manager Lakeitha came to help, but she basically asked me why would i a black male need a flat iron. I'm clearly gay and she was being rude. She then started insulting me saying how she wouldn't let a [censored] do her hair because she could get AIDS! She was very rude to the point I couldn't get what I came into the store for. Please teach your managers how to be kind and polite. She was cursing and all. She didn't get loud with me because she didn't want anybody to hear her, but I do have a witness to my allegations! If nothing wil be done my next step is to social media and the news also anyone else that will listen!

Young girl with long red hair. Gave me a dirty look as soon as I entered the store. Then walked around to everyone to help them but ignoring me. Stood around quite a while to get any help. She then just stood up at the front register. Had to wait til another employee came out of the back to get help. On Aug 8...before 7 pm. Not a very happy customer

Sally Beauty Supply customer service

I purchased a Chi Lava flat iron and Chi Lava curler this past weekend online. The current promotion is buy a flat iron and receive a curling iron for free. I put both items in my bag and checked out.
A confirmation email was sent to me on Saturday for my order. I was very excited and have been checking my order status for the last few days awaiting a shipping date.
Today I open my email to see that customer service has cancelled my order with no explanation as to why.
I called customer service to ask what had happened and they let me know that they had run out of the flat iron and, therefore, could not ship my curler either because it was the free item.
I asked the lady with customer service if they could please put me on a wait list so that I can get the items once they were restocked. She said no. What?! I do not understand that. Surely Sally's would want me to spend my money with their company versus one of their competitors. Correct?
I am very taken aback by the lack of communication and unprofessionalism from Sally Beauty customer service. Someone should have reach out to let me know why they decided to cancel my order.
Secondly, if the item was sold out or unavailable, I should not have been able to purchase the items at all.
I have loved Sally Beauty for many years and have never had a bad experience. This is very upsetting to me.

Sally Beauty Supply associate accused me of stealing

I was shopping at your Howe Ave location on 7/27/19 when one of your very rude sales associates accused me of shop lifting. I had responded to a text from my daughter & put my phone back in my purse. At that time, your sales rep came over & stated she saw me put an item in my bag. I explained that it was my phone but she continued to state that she "saw me in the mirror" . I attempted to show her inside my purse and she refused to look saying she was not allowed. I was humiliated and offended in front of the whole store, including other customers and staff members. I work and earns $26/hour. I have no reason to steal and I am not a criminal. I have a real problem with this. I hope you decide to respond to me asap. This worker should be terminated. I spoke to the Manager (who was hiding in her office the whole time) named Jessica. But I am not satisfied with this. Please let me know what you plan on doing about your employee offending me and accusing me of a crime.

Sally Beauty Supply employee tye

We live in Chula Vista, CA. My wife shops at your story located in the Eastlake area. There is an employee by the name of Tye. Every time we go to the store she is very unprofessional. She never greets us, and on the last time we went to the store she was very rude towards my wife. We have noticed that she greets other customers yet she is very cold and rude towards Hispanics. My wife chose what she needed to purchase and she was going to pay with a $100 bill. Tye told my wife that she had no change and she asked her to walk over to the Vons store in the same strip mall in order to get change. By this comment, my wife was upset and asked to speak with the manager. The manager was able to open a cashier and gave my wife change for the $100 bill. Tye has always shown a distant, disconnected, cold and uncaring attitude during all the times that we have walked into the store. She should realize that we are not there to socialize nor to make new friends with her because we are only there to purchase the beauty product that my wife requires. Your employee should realize that it is the name of the company that she represents and by not giving us the professional assistance, it is your whole company that is looking bad. Your employee is receiving a salary from your company and it's not doing community service hours. We know that she must have been properly trained in the customer service field yet she is lagging friendliness customer care and basically the inability to properly greet and treat those who are shopping in the store. Her facial demeanor is of a person who is not happy working there who perhaps does not feel satisfied by what she is doing in her role and clearly she makes us customers feel asked if we were bothering her or upsetting her by our presence in the store. Maybe she should not be placed in the front of the store where there is customer interaction. Maybe she should be working in another area of the store like in the back where she only opens boxes and has no interaction with other human beings. The sad part is that she has treated us this way for the last 5 years now, as with other former employees there. My wife and I and other neighbors who are Hispanic has stopped shopping at that particular store due to the poor service that we receive. My wife and I have begun shopping at another store. Please have this employee take training regarding Hispanic and other ethnic group customers. It is sad that she is unable to treat us with dignity and respect. We were her clients and we never asked for anything free. All the time we paid cash for the products purchased. I hope that you realize that many companies go broke when inefficient and unprofessional employees stop treating customers with respect. Once the customer feels that she is not treated with respect, the customer stops shopping at that particular store. Then the store begins to lose revenue and eventually that specific store will close. And if one store closes and another store closes then your company is basically in bankruptcy and disappears. do not allow this to happen because you carry very good beauty supply things in your store and you are losing clients do to your bad employees. My wife and I prefer to drive 10 miles to the other store than to go back to this specific store in our neighborhood. Thank you very much and I hope that things will change for the better. Nicolas and Veronica Maldonado.

Sally Beauty Supply sales clerk

6-30-2019 Store # 497. I've shopped at this particular store for several years now. On this day, I walked in and the sales clerks greeted me and also started giggling, for what reason I do not know. I knew what wanted so I went straight to the shelf to browse a couple of items, meanwhile I'm being watched. So once I gathered my items I decided to go down another aisle to browse just to see what will happen. Well she stood watching me again acting like she's not. I felt very uncomfortable so I just paid for my things and left. 1st time happening and I want to address this. Just because my hair wasn't done and I was not dolled up like normal, don't symbolize me as a thief. You know nothing about me. Treat me with the best customer service you have. Please talk with your sales clerks.

I was shopping at the Howe Ave location in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio on 7/27/19. I was being watched like I was some kind of criminal. While shopping, I responded to a text from my daughter and put my phone back in my purse. At that point, a sales rep came over & accused me of stealing. I was horrified & embarrassed to say the least! Every time I tried to show her inside my purse, she refused to look saying she was not allowed. I told her, several times, that I was only putting my phone back in my purse. She continued to state that she "saw me place an item in my bag through the mirror". I was (and still am) extremely upset about this whole incident. I have been shopping here for years & I have been watched while shopping there before. But I have never been accused of stealing. I have sent 2 emails to the customer service line with no response yet. Hey Sally's, if you are going to accuse your customers of crimes, you better have the evidence to prove it. That employee should be terminated. I cussed her out talked to the Manager (who was hiding in her office the whole time) and left. This is not over!
