Went to birmingham and was doing a little shopping and decided to get my hair cut for the first time in 6 years Saturday. Wife suggested a mid length cut and going to a blonde color. I went to Ulta and they were great! I will post pictures when I get to my phone. I was worried that they would not want to help a CD but totally not the case. I later read that their policy isnt to discriminate against anyone no matter what. The staff here seemed like they didnt care and were just happy to have another customer. I have been told at other chain hair places that they do not work on CD/TG, so I never pressed the issue. (Who wants to force someone to do their job, then trust them with their hair?) But the place that wont cut my hair because I am CD is not going to get the business of my wife and kids either. So their loss. I dont think they have the right to refuse service, but I am glad to know how they really feel in advance. But anyways, KUDOS to Ulta! My hair looks GREAT.
