Bangs

Let’s be real here, the only reason why you should come to this place is for Mikey!
I’ve known Mikey for a couple years now and just recently I’ve been going to him to have my hair done, or should I say SAVED!
Prior to going to this location I would hop back and forth between the two Transit Rd locations, Depew and Williamsville. It wasn’t until around September/​October where I had one of the worst experiences of my life at a Bangs location (Williamsville location). She not only massacred my hair, she did it with such certainty stating it’s the exact same style her boyfriend has. Lord have mercy, if her boyfriend gets his hair done by her too then god speed dude because she wreaked and ruined my hair. In the words of Mikey «She thought she was a Jedi, but she did not have the force because that hair is fucked up.»
Since then he’s been trimming and fixing it as it grew out and it’s looked a million times better. I made a stupid move a month ago and thought to bleach my hair, twice. There was no fixing it without professional hands. He knew the exact colors to use and BAM less than an hour later I looked like a normal persona again.
Go to him if you’re not even sure what you want, he’s great at throwing out ideas and suggestions depending on how daring you are to go with your hair. He’s magic and this place is lucky to have him!

I went to get an ombré done on Black Friday, I have never had my hair bleached before and my hair is naturally dark brown and its pretty thick. I showed the color specialist the color I was looking for and she gave me the color options that they provide. She started the bleaching process and after 40 min she checked on my hair.
This is when everything took a turn for the worse. Instead of my hair turning orange it was turning green. This is when she first asked if I’ve ever used hair dye products. I told her I’ve used dark blue manic panic a couple years ago. She then tells me the bleach they use at bangs does not work well with manic panic products (again this is the first time I’ve ever had my hair bleached). She then started asking if the person I spoke to on the phone asked me about my previous hair history (even though she should have). I said no and she started adding more toner and bleach to my hair to get the green out.
I was there over 3 hours and walked out with something I did not ask for. I was charged for everything, time and extra chemicals about $ 90. All of this could have been avoided if someone asked me about my hair dye history. I contacted customer service to see if I could get a refund but they ended up siding with manager (same woman who did my hair). She lied and told customer service that she asked me multiple times if I’ve ever used hair dye products… So you asked me multiple times even though the first time you asked me was 40 min after you put the bleach on my hair. Ok.
After I got nowhere with customer service I contacted the better business bureau. 3 months have gone by with no response from the business. Even worse parts of my hair are totally fried from all the chemicals she had to use on my hair to try and fix it.
So if you’re looking to have you’re hair bleached, DO NOT go to Bangs because they do not follow proper procedures before they start putting chemicals in your hair.

Is there anything better then someone washing and cutting your hair? Mike colored and cut my hair. He did an wonderful job. My highlights look awesome. The haircut works perfectly with my naturally curly but thin hair.
Mike listened but wasn’t hesitant to give suggestions when I asked for his advice. He gave me a low maintenance style that works great with my face shape and hair type.
He also shaped my eyebrows which I had previously been hesitant to have done because of a bad experience at another salon.
Over all this was a great experience and I recommend Mike to everyone! I will definitely be back. Amazing!

I am always pleased with the friendly helpful stylists here. I went in today for a color and cut both long overdue. Michael did an amazing job with both. He suggested colors that would blend together well and add a little pop to my appearance. I have also developed thin fine hair as I have aged and wanted a cut and style that would add fullness. I am sure Michael picked up on the fact I was self conscious about my thinning hair and did an amazing job to make sure I left feeling happy and more self confident. Extremely pleased.

My sister and I came here to get a long overdue hair cuts based on the recommendation of our brother. He currently has awesome purple streaks and a great cut.
Mikey gave me an amazing cut and style! I have very thick, wavy hair. He got rid of dead ends, gave me a long bob with long layers, which really compliments my face shape. He also took some weight out of the back, so my hair lays beautifully! Love it!
My sister’s hair is the opposite of mine– thin, super curly hair. She said with her super curly hair, many haircuts she gets just turn her hair into a triangle. Mikey avoided the dreaded triangle shape and gave her an amazing cut! Her curls look beautiful.
Mikey is the best! Highly recommend this bright, clean, friendly salon!

I have been going to Bangs since they opened. I have been pretty happy overall with my haircuts and especially my color. One time, we messed up my daughter’s color, and they were able to fix it. Last year I had a very important event and they were able to take me at the last minute for an updo. Mike does an excellent job and I highly recommend him as well.
