SalonCentric Hillcrest

My wife is licensed and needed to do a shopping spree here, based upon some advertising they sent her. This is a very nicely stocked shop, with aisles of nicely faced shelved, brimming with inventory.
The location is a tough one. It’s on the NW corner of 10^th and University. There is an onsite private parking lot, with four spaces. The spaces are accessed from 10^th Avenue, not University, as a Unilocaler thinks below. Backing out is not a problem, because the lot is off 10^th.
There were three sales associates there when we visited, about 1 PM on a Wednesday. I noticed that they were extremely helpful not only to my wife, but to the other customers as well. This indicates good management to me. Store hours are clearly indicated on the entry door.
She found what she was looking for, and we are both fans of this location.

This rating is solely for the business, the location is awful, but I don’t mind walking to get to it. Everyone is always so friendly and helpful, always can rely on great products being available.

Outstanding customer service. It’s always a pleasure going into the store.

Really great customer service! I came in too early for sale prices, but the young lady offered to hold the items for me until the sale. She offered good advice, was knowledgable of the product etc. I love coming here because I am treated well and get the product I need.

Your traditional beauty supply for us professionals, parking is a little annoying, but not the worst. It is very confusing as to whether this business is considered the Uptown Shopping Center, but I’m pretty sure it is so you can park in the actual parking lot behind the store. Not always completely stocked/​carrying with the supplies I need so I have to drive to another shop where they will have the same products. Overall pretty good and staff always greets you when right when you walk in the door!

I love coming to Salon Centric to get my supplies and most definitely find out what’s new on the market. I also get some of my additional training here when somethings I’m interested in, is offered…
I do agree with Elena V., where this is a really bad parking situation. Stylist are always in and out, so maybe that’s why they think 3 parking spaces is enough. I guess you can park by the Postal Annex but that defeats the purpose of the convenience…
Always great customer service, for sure though.

As a hairstylist I have to get my color and supplies somewhere. For me the only place that I can buy them is at Salon Centric because of the brand of hair color I use. This location and when I speak of location i am referring to the building, and it’s accessibility, this is the worst location of any business I have ever been to. There are 3 parking spots and you have to turn into the parking lot where you are almost certain to one day get t-​boned and when leaving you must back out into oncoming traffic which goes to University Avenue. This building was vacant for many years because other business owners were smart enough to see this location sucks!
The service is 5 stars though but with the location sucking so bad I can’t give it more stars! The staff is always friendly and helpful. I most always find everything I need to do my job well. It’s always clean and has well done displays.
