I had a deeply upsetting experience at the Straight Ahead Beauty store in Opry Mills Mall. While speaking with the store manager about a hair straightener, I mentioned that although it seemed like a good product, I already owned a quality straightener and didn’t need another. I also explained that I’m visiting from Australia and couldn’t take anything extra home due to limited luggage space. Despite this, the manager insisted I return my current straightener (a GHD) and proceeded to offer their product, originally priced at $370 USD, for $89 USD. When I declined again, she laughed at me, clapped in my face, and dismissed me in a humiliating manner. Her behavior was incredibly disrespectful and unprofessional, and I left the store in tears. This experience left a very negative impression of the store and the brand. No customer should ever be treated this way, especially after politely declining a sale. For this reason, I would never purchase this product.
