The Retreat Salon

My hair needed a total over haul! I went there with old brown store bought dye and grays. My hair was about 10 inches from the base of my neck! Jamie and I decided to go with warm rose gold and a fresh layered cut. The day after was Thanksgiving day and my relatives were amazed! Everyone said how good I looked, and the beautiful colors in my hair especially sitting in the sun were amazing! Everyone wanted to know where I went and who did my hair! My referral said Jamie was the bomb, and that's where I should go! She was right! I am so loving my new hair color and style! Thank you Jamie. I can't begin to tell you how much I appreciate what you have done for me. I really do think your so talented as a colorist and stylist. Very, very, well done. See you again.... Ingrid.

Great staff. Cindy is terrific. We'll done haircut.

I found The Retreat Salon randomly when I just needed a quick haircut. I loved everything about the place. Everyone was so welcoming and fun. I also got one of the best haircuts of my life.nnI loved them so much I had them do the hair and makeup for my wedding AND mani pedis the day before. They did an amazing job again! Everyone looked beautiful and they made the morning of so fun and relaxing. I would absolutely recommend this salon. Great service and AMAZING people.

Retreat Salon and Spa is my absolute favorite place to go in the Carrollton area. The service is excellent. You visit once, and they will remember your name for years to come! This place really makes you feel like family, not to mention the services they offer are top notch. I get my keratin hair treatment done here and it couldn't be more perfect! I also go here frequently for manicures and they always knock it out of the park. I have also had my brows done here, and eyelash tinting and perming. Every experience has been wonderful. Go to Retreat!

While the salon was very accommodating when it came to scheduling and the owner was friendly, that was where the positives I can say about this place ended. I came into town for an event uptown and wanted to have my make-up done (I don't usually wear a lot and wanted a more polished bold look). The make-up artist barely greeted me and it appeared that she had just rolled out of bed or left the gym as her hair was a mess and she had no make-up on herself. This was odd considering her job. I showed her a picture of what I was looking for and she asked me what colors I was wearing so she could match my eyeshadow. This should have been my first clue - the picture I showed her was all natural colors and I certainly did not want to match my dress. Anyways, for that straightened out and she began. She did my foundation but gave absolutely no attentions to covering uneven skin tone or the permanent bags I have under my eyes from allergies. She did LESS than I do to cover those bags. Then she did my eyes and the eyeliner was incredibly thick and looked like it had been done while riding a cross town bus in Orleans Parish. It was so jagged and uneven I asked her to make it much thinner. She tried, but the result was basically exactly the same. I asked her to skip the eyeliner (so that I could do it myself at home). She did not do any highlighting or contouring and barely out any blush on me. Finally she applied lipstick. She didn't line it and again, it looked like my lipstick had been applied in a bouncy house at a 5 year old's birthday party. I just let it go knowing I could fix it at home. What's worse though is that after she applied my lipstick (using lipstick I brought) she put the cap back on without rolling the lipstick down and smashed the lipstick up into the top of the cap! The lipstick is not longer usable without a brush for application. This was a very disappointing experience and I would not recommend this salon. Overall, the other employees were eating chicken wings in the customer area and talking about other patrons after they left. Reconsider your decision to go here.
