First off let me say that Derek Shane Salon master of color, so even when your color starts to fade…read more- it does so beautifully because it has been layered very well to begin with. When I first went to Derek, I was very interested in getting my curly hair straightened and colored, and he did so wonderfully! Really took time to blow out all of my mixed girl curls and pump my thin hair with volume! Previously I was attending M Salon for my services, and Tiffany was great but after being situated with an assistant longer than the actual stylist; I was obliged to look elsewhere in c/o the $$$ I was paying. And upon looking at Derek's portfolio - I was instantly captivated by his visual flair for color and that was my main objective when I went to him. So, when I came back to him - Probably about a year later I had the same goal in mind: straight hair and blonde highlights, but he's an artist... And he will do his best to make sure that you have a vision of yourself that is completely unique to your own style. So, he suggested that perhaps I revert to my natural texture of curls in lieu of flat ironing my hair and damaging it with so much heat and you know, sometimes that's not an easy choice because you feel confident in looking a certain way that media suggests is pretty, but I trusted him and with that he really did help me embrace my natural beauty and with that I've been able to keep up my looks a lot longer because I am not really deviating away from what's been God given to me. Anyhow, enough about the philosophical nature of getting a new haircut, let's get to the actual physical quality of one. Derek works with perhaps two assistants when he's doing your color so you're getting a really in-depth job. Also, I remember having a great scalp massage during my shampoo. And, the cut was absolutely vital, please see my photos for more details. The color was not just a red, but it was deeply layered with purples in order for it to reflect differently in certain lights, which is great for different looks you might have in store. In summation, if you are in search for a new favorite look... Well you might just want to see Derek Shane Salon.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!! I debated posting this or not, but I wouldn't want anyone else to walk out of a salon looking like I did. PLEASE BE CAUTIOUS WITH THE STYLIST THAT YOU CHOOSE! Starting with the good things: The staff was very nice and they did include gratuity in the price (which didn't say upon booking) I came for a routine haircut and asked her to shape up my curtain bangs. Instead I left with a chunk missing from the back of my hair and half of my hair in extremely short bangs. I also have "steps" instead of layers. The blow out was also very poor. When I left initially I didn't see the damage that was done, and there was no effort to show me the back but I didn't think too much about it. It was only when I got home and looked at it properly in the mirror and desperately tried to restyle my bangs. The worst part was the owner even checked over her work and let me leave the salon like I did! I also had no warning that she was still a learning stylist

I was NOT disappointed. Monica is an amazing stylist. It's not easy for me to use those words, I don't meet many of her caliber so I was so happy to have been referred to her. She uses a product line that I wasn't familiar with, L'Oreal Professional (not to be confused with L'Oreal Paris AT ALL) so I was also hesitant about this. Not to worry, it was SO good for my crazy hair! I also did a conditioning treatment from the same brand and it made my hair just so soft. I'm super happy I did that. I highly recommend doing it! Monica is so patient and so sweet. I could have driven her crazy with trying to tell her what I need, but she just listened and then gave me EXACTLY what I was looking for. This girl is a hidden gem! I would definitely recommend her if you need someone that is amazing with hair! LOVE her!

I recently came in for an updo for a gala and showed Kimberly S a reference photo of the style I…read morewanted. She completed the initial look in about 20 minutes. When she showed me the result, I politely asked if she could tighten the curls to achieve a sleeker finish, which was my main request. Rather than making a simple adjustment, she took the entire style down and redid it completely, taking another 20 minutes. It was clear she was frustrated by my request, and the final result did not reflect the look I asked for or what I expected based on the photo I provided. I've attached pictures of the finished style for reference--unfortunately, it was not acceptable for the formal event I was attending. That said, I truly appreciate the kindness and professionalism of both the manager and the receptionist. They were understanding and made a genuine effort to make the situation right, which I'm very thankful for.

I went to this location tonight, and I had a gift card and was excited to use. I happen to spot the…read more"national lash sale" which was 30% off. I spotted some Mac mascara for $11.89. So, i decided to get that. When I get to the counter to check out, the mascara rings up to $28. I explained to the cashier that it was $11, according to the label and sign. She calls for her associate who goes over to the mascara, I am 90% sure the associate goes over to switch the labels. They try to tell me that the mascaras were not in the right spot.... (i had went back over there to show them, picture below) and then the label says "lancôme" but if you look closely...... it's only Mac mascara in that particular cube (bottom left, black/black &yellow packaging)) It does not matter if the mascara was "not in the right spot" there was more than one, there was more than 3..... so as far as customer service goes, just honor the price, which was suggested by sales associate, Edgar, who initially greeted me and helped me during my shopping. Only person I can speak highly of. So, the manager says that she would honor the price, and when the cashier comes back over after she gave discount, it's rang up to $19. I am like it said it was $11. So, I ended up telling them I don't want it. I was disappointed, because I honestly felt like they were trying to act like i was the crazy one when it's not my fault that I was shopping and was expecting a price that was displayed. I immediately called customer service on them and i was told that my frustration was valid and I should be getting a call from a store rep in order to reconcile the matter. This specific location has a 2.8 rating, and what I experienced, it pans out. As someone who has worked in the customer service field for 5+ years, this is subpar customer service and immediate attention needs to go to employees who don't understand putting the customer needs first. Ulta customers spend too much money to be receive below average customer service. So, i hope my concern gets reconciled.

When she was done she had straightened mg hair line she was going to put curls in it and my Afro didn't stand.

So, after calling a couple of salons in a short amount of time, thankfully, I found this one! Who knew, Smart Styles located in Walmart would be any good? I surely didn't. I walked in and beautician Angeleak immediately assisted me. She washed, blow-dried, and styled my hair without being unprofessional. She wasn't eating while doing my hair or gossiping about others, she was just professional. She was very kind and patient with me. Also, she did my hair perfectly: she styled it so my curls would be full of volume, shining, not greasy looking, and whatever shampoo she used it got rid of my dandruff and my itchy scalp issues. I've been wearing my hairstyle for 2 months without it falling. It is really holding it up and I'm so excited I have found a great beautician. If in doubt, call Smart Styles and you won't be sorry. I'm not gonna lie, at first I was feeling skeptical about it, but I'm glad I went with my instincts. Also, they take walk-ins, so no issues.
