According to the card they open up at 10am. The last and final call I made I spoke to Awah and asked to make an appt for 11:15am. She was so sweet over the phone and even discussed pricing with me. Although I was running late, I showed up at 11:30am they took me right away. I showed Awah the style I wanted. I brought my own hair but it was too silky for the Senegalese Twist style that I wanted. They sell hair so I was able to purchase two packs of hair. Each braiding hair pack cost $5 each. My medium size Senegalese twist down to my waist cost me $200. I was their only client for about an hour until someone else walked in. Half of my head was completed in an hour. Chioma also helped by braiding the ends of my hair. It only took under two hours for my full head to be done. I'm extremely happy with my hair and it the customer service.

I ran across Ella & David's. I called to get information, David answered the phone and was extremely confident and answered my questions perfectly. I asked him if he had availability that same day, a Saturday mind you, and he told me to come right in. I did not even have to buy the Groupon and he still gave me the deal- cant say he will always do this but it was a great gesture. (Either way always call before you purchase Groupon's, sometimes they just post for advertisement). The salon was as busy as you would expect a salon to be on a saturday. However, without an appointment I only waited an hour. David talked me through other options and products to assist me through my "Rome Crisis." The entire Keratin process took about 3 hours, which i expected. The salon was great! Friendly, relaxed and everyone seemed to be a regular customer was treated like family. Ive been to other New York Salons and either everyone is up tight or they treat you like cattle. David and Ella's was amazing!!! So far my hair is pin straight. I am not a fan of the texture and feel but i'll wait until i wash it to really tell. I'll also post after Rome to let everyone know how it went. LAST AND FINAL NOTE: Ella's Salon is actually a salon that was located in an area that was devastated by hurricane Sandy. David and his stylist were kind enough take out their mani pedi spa area and allow Ella to set up shop. I just think that is just a really amazing gesture.

I'll start off by saying I have pretty curly hair (wavy and almost banana curls underneath) and…read moreI've blow dried and straightened it every other day for as long as I can remember. I was leaving to backpack Europe for two months (no blow dryer, straightener or serious $$ to spend at one of my previous Keratin salons) and stumbled across the Groupon for Ella and David's. I called to see if they had availability and David said to come in that Monday (I found out when I got there he had come in JUST for me that morning.. AWESOME) and he said they would still honor the Groupon deal without me purchasing it (saves them a fee!). (You are also offered a free mani or pedi OR a trim with the deal). David was amazing and I will 100% be back to get the treatment done again. Best part: I have not once touched a straightener since this treatment and use a blow drier occasionally. A little over two months later and my hair is still air drying with just a little bit of wave. I have had the Keratin treatment done 5-6 times before at expensive salons and I would be pulling out my straightener and blow dryer around this time. Not sure if it's what David uses or how he does it.. but I don't see myself needing another treatment for a few months from now. Paid half the price I normally do and looks to be lasting twice as long. Nothing bad to say about this place at all and can't wait to return!

3/24 UPDATE: After filing complaints, Yummy sent me an email asking me to return the HD SEA Wavy…read moreclosure and they would have their "experts" try to restore it as close to possible back to a usable condition. I didn't pay $200 to have a closure restored. It should have been sold to me new. So here's some advice: As an Attorney, I am smart enough to never send a defective item back to a seller who refuses to accept responsibility for selling it defective. Further, I took the closure to the owner of a major beauty supply store. He inspected it and signed an affidavit for me that the closure was NOT 100% Raw human unprocessed hair. He said it was a mixture with a high probability that some was synthetic. He described it as doll hair. This offer from Yummy is quite telling and leads me to believe they knew about selling me this defective closure. We are preparing legal action if I do not receive a refund. ---------------------------------------/////////////////----------------------------------------- I have been a steady customer of Yummy since 2021 and have spent over $8,000. Prior to 2026, I only returned 1 item due to quality issues and have only 2 returns total since becoming a customer. I chose Yummy due to the high quality of their products at that time. The quality of Yummy's products I have received has declined dramatically and I am no longer a Yummy customer. They do not appear to respect loyalty and sold me a defective closure. On Jan 30, 2026, I purchased a RAW SEA Wavy HD Closure for $195 + tax. The total for my complete order was $514. I followed their care instructions directly, even purchasing the brand of conditioner they recommended. IMMEDIATELY, the closure began to shed in clumps, tangle, become matted, and could not be combed or brushed through. I had three email exchanges with Riyan of Yummy customer care who confirmed the instructions I followed. I sent before and after photos to Riyan, which clearly showed the poor structure and state of the closure. My stylist is a witness and will be willing to testify should this become a legal matter. After only a few days of having the closure installed, I had to have it removed, losing the $195 I paid for it and the $300 fee I paid to have it installed. It cost me another $100 to have it removed and the install repaired. Riyan and Yummy have since stopped responding to me. When I did research on Yummy online, I found recent online complaints for the same poor hair quality and customer service issues. One complaint in particular confirmed my suspicions regarding Yummy "banning" customers who dared to request refunds for poor quality products. The writer indicated that when she complained to Yummy and sought a refund for her purchase, she was banned. Yummy did the exact same thing to me on January 4, 2026 after my second return in 5 years for poor quality hair. I followed Yummy's process for a refund, returned the item in unopened and unused condition at my own expense, and Yummy approved the refund. After verifying receipt of the item back to Yummy's warehouse, Yummy failed to issue a refund or communicate with me for over 3 weeks. I filed a complaint with PayPal and they banned me as a customer.
