SmartStyle

I give one star because they where super sweet to me.
I went there and I said trim and blow dry, my hair WAS long mid back. She said two inches I said ok I can afford that since my hair is really long. I have to say I had my two young toddlers and they where very sweet to them helping me to keep them busy with lollipops. Suddenly I look at the mirror and my hair is in layers it look like shoulder length and I started to cry! Bowling!!!
I’m so disappointed and sad! I just wanted a trim and a blow dry ! And I ended with a short horrible hair cut.
The manager was sweet they didn’t let me pay and left crying the place.
Now I have to wait another year to have my hair back to normal.
It is important you go with who you know!! they are to many people employed that had no clue how to do hair or how to listen the costumer.
Horrible day !

My daughter and i went to the beauty salon inside the walmart to get hairdo for my daughters sweet 15 very unhappy with the results after we left the salon and got to our house where the fotographer was waiting our curls where completely gone and that was a ten min. drive from walmart to the house total waste of time and money never going there again should of done our own hair would of done a better job

The good… Convenient location inside Walmart, cheap haircuts (use the $ 9.99 coupon on the back of your Walmart receipt), and free shampoo and head massage with cut. Two stars for the value.
The bad… Completely disorganized. For some reason they have a huge list of people in line, yet there’s maybe one person sitting in the waiting area. When I ask why, I’m told that it’s because the people put their name down and leave to shop. Well I’m sorry, but if it’s your turn and you’re not here, then you lose your spot right? Wrong. They’ll wait around holding an empty chair for someone to maybe show back up.
If you happen to walk in when there’s no wait, consider yourself very lucky. If there’s a wait, forget it. You’ll be waiting 30 – 60 minutes for empty chairs.

I usually come here to get my haircuts and there has never been a problem, I’m came in there yesterday and showed the lady a picture of what I wanted. Before she got started I told her that I have a cartilage hoop in my ear, next thing you know she’s brushing my hair really rough and my hoop caught on to the brush! She told my it wasn’t bleeding but when I walked out it was + she kept touching my ear which you’re not suppose to do since it can get infected! She wasn’t even following the cut that I showed on the picture, she was doing her own thing. The picture was pretty straight forward and had no bangs, but the lady asked if I wanted some and I said no, but she continues to brush my hair forward as if she’s getting ready to cut it. I couldn’t take it anymore and got up and left, did I mention they still charged me $ 5 for a cut? The fact that the lady ripped out my cartilage that took forever to heal and gave me a really bad haircut and didn’t even go with the picture that I wanted was the worst, I know this lady was new but I don’t think I should’ve been charged at all for this! I went home and fixed my unfinished haircut, hands down the WORST experience ever and I don’t expect coming back!

Isabel is the best! I always get my hair styled with her. She does some bomb braids! Very nice lady

Isabel is the best! She always does an excellent job with my haircuts. No matter how busy she is, she always makes her customers her first priority. Thank you Isabel for all that you do! #alwayscomingback!

Sally was really helpful, but product looked old when I opened it up at home. Product cracking and dry inside container.

4 stars for hair cut
2 stars for over the phone service and lack of organization
5 stars for price on Tuesdays.
I came in anyway. They are not organized (people come in and sit down, but don’t «check» in…) so the different stylists are unsure of who is really «next» in line to get the haircut. Getting seated is a pain… But once you’re in the chair for your haircut everything is a breeze. I am happy with my trim (got rid of my split ends, add layers). Other places charge additional for my long hair but smart style didn’t, so that’s what is awesome about them. They are inside of walmart. I got my haircut for $ 12 here, Tuesday special. I plan on coming back (Fantastic Sams charges $ 20+ for my long hair, and it’s a hassle to print out coupons each time I go). Here at smart style you don’t need to print any coupon for the Tuesday special. :)

Soo. I just left here from getting a haircut and it is horrible?! It’s so uneven and not ok… I don’t need to be told that you know how to do black hair and you don’t. And to not give me to the seems like, new person who doesn’t know how to cut black hair at all… I am VERY livid and will not be going back here. The girls name is Yessica. She should’ve asked for assistance because it’s so bad… Now I have to get it fixed and pay more money and get it even shorter than I wanted. Not happy…

Call an hour ahead so you can be on the wait list because there’s no appointment! On Tuesdays it’s $ 12 haircut and shampoo special! I love them! They are friendly and they ACTUALLY LISTEN to what you want your hair to be!
It can be slow so make sure you’re free for the day. Choose any of the hairstylists because they are all talented and friendly. I have not got my hair colored here so I would not know but you just need a simple haircut, this is the place.

If you like disorganization, this is the place for you. I’ve had my hair done by Isabelle several times and while she always does a great job, you have to wait… and wait… and wait. That’s because she is often the only stylist on duty and she tries to take on too many clients at once. There are other people in the salon but apparently they don’t do hair yet one told me she was a hairdresser. Hmm? I called this morning to check out the wait time and was told to come right in, no wait. When I got there, the waiting time suddenly was over 30 minutes long. I hate people who lie just to get you in. And, as usual, only one stylist. So, I will be looking for a slightly more positive experience elsewhere in the future.

Whenever I get my hair cut, it’s usually for some special event, and Michelle has met my expectations every time. So I usually go to her for my haircuts because I trust that she can get the job done. However, on the most recent visit, when I came with my brother, we were told she would be arriving late, and to come back in about 45 minutes. No problem, we live close by.
We come back 45 minutes later, only to find that she still wasn’t there, and we were told it would take her another half hour. Well I don’t want to drive back and forth again, so we wait there and fiddle around with our phones for another 45 minutes before I start to lose my patience and ask if she’s actually going to show up or not. Again, I’m told to wait a half hour longer.
After she finally arrives, we aren’t given any explanation whatsoever. Just a «thanks for waiting». Sure, but only because past haircuts have suggested that it’d be worth the wait.
When I try to show her reference pictures for the hairstyle I was going for, she only looked at one and took it from there instead of going over the details like she’s usually done in the past. As a result, she missed a few details like the sideburns.
When I go to pay for both my haircut and my brother’s, Michelle and some other lady goes through a lot of hassle just to get the register to bill us separately, because they assumed we would be paying together. I felt they should have asked first. After waiting a bit too long, we just decide to pay together because apparently they can’t figure out how to bill us separately. Only by then, they finally figured it out once we had changed our minds.
More confusion ensues. After we finally pay, we were initially handed back less change than expected, because the lady assumed we were giving a tip. At this point I am boiling inside.
I wait two hours for a mishandled haircut, and this salon has the gall to expect a tip from me. The lady gives me a look like I’m stupid or something when I ask why I’m short a few dollars.
After more fussing over the bill, I finally get the correct amount of change and enough dirty looks for deciding not to give a tip.
Overall, it was such a terrible experience that it outweighs the previous visits I’ve had at this salon. Yes, it was that bad. I cannot in good faith recommend anyone to have their hair cut here after wasting a good chunk of my day on such a ridiculous debacle and being subjected to such a brazen lack of professionalism.

I used to get my hair done at Disconnected at North Park when I lived there and had never found anyone who did my hair the way I liked besides them until I came here. Believe it or not Isabel the manager is awesome! Even though this place is inside Walmart, they were able to score some major talent with her. No one does my bangs like she does. I am particular about my bangs, I know how they should be cut and she just gets me. She handles her sheers with confidence like an experienced professional would (I know lame, I pay attention to such petty stuff) and my haircuts are less than $ 20 everytime! The only downside to this place is that you cant make an appointment but if you call a little before they open you can get on the list and be the first one in.

Great hair styling with really reasonable price. I always ask for Isabel. She is really nice, friendly, and always willing to accommodate you. Just bring a picture of the style you want, and she’ll make every effort to come through.

After 3 year in this Salon with ISABEL, i still the way she works, she always sincere with me and tell me what its going to work with my hair and what doesn’t.
In 3 year i had 3 diferents colors in my hair from black to blond and now brunette and my hair never been damage, dry or fry. no even fryzze
My husband it’s a really picky person and he always loves what she has done in my hair and now he doesn’t change hair and its the only lady he let cut his hair !!! =)
SO I really not understand the persons who said, she is the worst management, by my opinion she runs the salon pretty well, really organize and always impleccable clean !
she always been friendly and always smile to us everytime we stop there.
I“m going to keep saying she ROCKS !!!

Had my haircut done couple of months ago and I was surprisingly satisfied. I never know how my hair’s going to turn out whenever I ask for a layered cut. So a month goes by and I decided to get highlights. I asked the stylist (I don’t remember her name unfortunately) for suggestions. I explained to her in detail what had been previously done to my hair. She gave me a funny look. She said it would look weird. Instead, I went with her suggestion and before she could get started, she made me sign a waiver. I felt uneasy about the whole thing, but I should’ve spoke up and stuck to my decision.
The outcome was so disappointing. I had no highlights– they showed up as one color. She said it looked better that way. She also told me to come back to get it lightened. At my previous appointments for highlights, they would do a double process and be done with it in 1 day. So it was news to me that it couldn’t be done.
The following week, I went to another stylist and she was confused when I told her I just had highlights put in last week. She said she couldn’t even tell. Then when I told her who I went to, she just smiled. Word of advice… don’t ever let a stylist talk you out of something you want. It’s your hair and your decision, not theirs!

I usually do my own hair! but a couple of weeks ago I got a chance to be on tv for an interview & i knew I had to get my hair done! so I was in my way to the store (Walmart) and saw a salon there! so I went in and I ask if they have any time to do my hair? The Lady Ysabel was so nice and started on my hair immediately! Immediately ask who does your hair… I said ME! =-(I work a lot of hrs & I have a 4 year old I don’t have a lot of time so I do it my self! she told me I had a lot of different color that she could help me! I been to a lot of places before & not a lot of people know how to work with curly hair so I had my tv interview next day so… lets do it i told her!
Not only she made made me look beautiful but all my friend have been telling me my hair loos great! they love the tone is a perfect color for me & that my hair looks really healthy!
for now on is a no brainer! I need to do time for me & go and get it done with Ysabel & not try to do it my self! she was fast & so talented that I felt like a movie star!
So highly recommended!

Shaina is AWESOME!!! She did my niece’s highlights about a week ago and her work was phenomenal!!! She takes the total hair care approach!!! I love her!!! Get there early because she is Chula Vista’s most wanted stylist!!!

As a frequent shopper at the Eastlake Walmart, I ran across this salon by accident as I walked into the North entrance of the store. I avoided it once or twice, then one day my sister suggested we stop in and take a look around since I began voicing my desire to find a great stylist to help me get control of my hair.
We immediately met with Shayna, who was warm and very professional from the beginning. I explained to her the problem I was having with my scalp after suffering from an allergic reaction to an at home hair dye 5 years earlier.
Needless to say, after numerous doctor’s visits to dermatologists and allergists, I was walking around everyday ashamed of the hair i hid under a wig. I suffered from severe flaking and scaling of the scalp, as well as sores that wept every now and then. This condition was overwhelming, embarrassing, and a definite confidence killer.
Shayna did a quick evaluation, and knew exactly what to recommend. She confidently stated that it was something we could get control of, and asked me to come in. Again, the embarrasment kept me from going, but after avoiding her once or twice again, I finally mustered up the courage to go in and get the help I needed.
I have been going in to see Shayna off an on now for almost a year, and no longer suffer from the problems I used to have. After three consecutive visits, there was little to no flaking, and I dont have sores or scales on the scalp. My hair, which was once short and breaking is growing, and there is not much breakage.
This is a great salon, and Shayna comes highly recommended. Do yourself a favor and go see her…
Sidenote: In the process of getting my hair done, I have had the chance to observe Shayna work on others, and she is familiar with all hair types, and works well with people of all ages! My cousins (AGES 5 & 16) got their first haircuts from her just yesterday, and were very impressed with the looks!

Been going to Shayne several times. A top notch person in her trade. My haircuts are so good that I went back to my office and had a person take a photo of it for future hair cuts…
Men on my project like her hair cuts also including my boss. They travel from Tijuana Mexico just to have her cut their hair.
