I am very…read morepassionate about my hair , i spend so much money and time to take care of it, i was gonna wait until i go back to Ca to see my hair stylist but it get too long and i know it time to try someone new. so When i schedule appointment i choose option to pay for experience and education stylist tier 3 hoping someone know how how to cut hair and this is what i got. This is the worst hair cut i have ever get in my life. I came in with a long V-shape layer hair. I told her i only want cut 3inches and keep my V-shape layer style. She didnt listen and chopped it for 6-7inches. My hair is so short and uneven now. No where close to what i asked for. They dont understand how long it take to grow long hair. This is so disappointing. I have been crying all night after this cut. Definitely will never come back and do not recommend to any one.

She is the best. I won't go anywhere else. Thanks Salon Eliite

The stylist was halfway through a highlight on another customer after waiting 20 minutes when she sent the customer to process, she walked up to me and said are you still wanting to get your highlights today? The whole purpose of the appointment was for me the way she said it was very rude. Made me feel uncomfortable that if I said, yes, she would be upset and I didn't want someone upset doing my hair and if I said no, she was happy to take the boys then in the middle, so she cut all three boys hair she had text messaged me a price I go up to pay the girl at the desk says to me that's two little boys haircuts an adult male men's haircut and a partial highlight. It was all I could do not to say do I look like I got my hair highlighted when we were only there in an hour and a half.. the price was way more then she had text me . She did not wash or dry the boys hair. on top of it, she says to me well we could've done your highlights but I need to finish the other customer firsts seriously I am going to wait an hour while she finished her. I don't have the time and she knew how hard it is for me to come on weekdays. she still had a customer that just had her foils removed and was just washed by "an assistant who still was getting a cut and blowout. I think it was rude. It was disrespectful and she owes me an apology. I will never go there again. She kept offering to reschedule me well again my time is very limited once baseball season starts for the boys. I don't get any time that's why this Saturday was so important February 14. I'm very upset and I do not recommend this salon!!!!' at not after the stylist treated me like that, honestly who would let somebody touch their hair after someone comes up and said what she did ? What would've been a $400 appointment for the four of us turned into a lousy hundred dollars in no tip you know what she lost out on $300. That's her fault.

She was able to get me to stop biting nails after 60 years and I have had beautiful nails for 3 years of nail care by Kellie. First, Kellie has great availability because she works long days 5 and 6 days a week. So even though she is super busy with loyal clients like me, she always tries to make time. Second, her nail area is super clean, the hygiene there is superb. Third, the selection of colors and polishes is huge. She is always adding new product. Fourth: her price point is great. I pay $95 for gel manicure AND pedicure (plus a good tip)! She is highly skilled and can provide nail art freehand if you want or you want to change up. I've gotten tropical flowers, hearts, all kinds of fun designs. Fifth: Kellie is super nice, super sweet and super friendly. If you want to chit chat she's great and if you prefer a more quiet nail pampering she's all in. Sixth: she is an independent part of a full service salon so I can get my blowout, lowlights, style and cut, esthetician services, products all in this salon. The salon itself is spacious with a clean, modern vibe. I've been getting hair care here for 10 plus years. But Kellie Ball has changed my life from one of decades of bitten nails to me showing off beautiful fingers and toes and feeling really good about my gift to myself. Self care is something I now budget for and wish I had done it years earlier.

I had been struggling with my nails for a while, but she took care of everything with true professionalism and skill. Over the past several months, it honestly feels like I've known her forever. She even connected with my 13-year-old daughter in such a sweet, natural way, which meant so much to me. Kellie goes above and beyond for her clients in a way I haven't experienced at any other nail salon. Her personality is warm, welcoming, and she has a genuine ability to make everyone feel comfortable and cared for. She is truly the real MVP. Thank you, Kellie, for everything you do and continue to do. Style by Design is lucky to have you as part of their team.

I came in for my 1st consultation with 2 strain twist. Jewel was very friendly. She interlock and instant locked 1 of my twist. It was frizzy, but looked ok. I asked her to measure the loc so I could order extensions online for her to install. After measuring Jewel told me she would make them for me at a discount price. I agreed. The next week I returned and she interloc my 2 strain twist. The next week I sent her a picture of the look I wanted. The end of that week I returned for her to instant loc my entire head. The appointments were on Friday and Saturday. Jewel quoted me a price of $400 dollars. She suggested and I agreed to allow her to put several extensions in the front my hair. We were to finish the rest the next week. I came in on that Friday. She started the instant locs and installation in the front. I noticed that the locs were extremely fat, larger then I expected. I asked and she stated that, "It was the size of the picture I sent. She told me it would look better once she's finished. She noticed that she had installed the wrong color in the front. She asked if it was ok to leave there, I said no and she removed them. I had a doctor appointment and needed to leave (which I told her prior to my appointment). Jewel stated that she needed more time to do my hair. She knew that I had to be out by a certain time on Saturday. She convinced me return after my doctor appointment. I will just get to the point, after returning from my appointment, I paid her $310. I returned again the next day on Saturday for her to finish the instant loc. Jewel talked on the phone about her nephew having a baby and focused less on my hair. She knew I was pressed for time so I could tell she was rushing. Once she finished I decided to take a pic and send it to my man. He looked at the pic and to me I looked like bob Marley. Same question, why are they so thick. She made a nasty comment, "He must be fine". I was nice about it, but the way he looks had nothing to do with her lack of skills. Well let me keep going. She told me to let her take the pic. She flipped and flipped my hair and took the pic. The pic looked good. He text me pics of smaller locs. Well before leaving she charged me $200 which i ended up paying $510 opposed to the $400 she initially stated. And the work wasn't even done. During this appointment she tried to convince me that I was getting a bargain. Telling me that other people (naming shops) would charge $1200 dollars for this work. Fast forward. The next day I looked at my hair. It was goopy, sticky, and nasty. It was collecting lint and sticking out. I had to pen it to make it look good enough to go out. That's not including the puffiness. Well I text her after realizing how these thick extensions were larger then my roots. She called me after my text. She double talked....badly. When I told her they did not match my loc size she told me that my hair would puff up after the 1st wash, in her next breath she told me that the extensions would get smaller. Every answer to every question was the same, "when the loc matures it will etc". I tried to write down her responses to my questions, but she was so inconsistent until I became frustrated and throw my pen. When I asked for them to be smaller, she told me that was the only size she makes. I was like, what was the point of her measuring and offering to make them. After spending $600 (including the interloc) I wanted to continue with her, but my man convinced me to have someone check her work. So what did I do, I contacted the shop she spoke badly of. And guess what, they did not even do extensions.....she lied. But the owner was gracious enough to refer me to someone that did. She stood by this lady's work. She texted me her info and I booked a consultation. At the appointment I discovered that not only were the locs to thick, but they did not even match my hair texture. In back she missed interlocking several locs and she placed some of the extensions that were not my hair color in back. And to make matters worst, while Jewel choose to talk on the phone and then rush thought my hair, she left several locs untouched (still in the 2strain twist) and multiple that were half instant loc on the bottom of the loc and on the top near my root 2 strain twist. Well I contacted Jewel that day and told her cancel all future appointments. This was an investment for me and I wanted them done right. Since this ugly experience in January I have gotten them done by a true loc professional. They are beautiful.

I would like to go to a salon though occasionally for a retwist but not them. They don't even have sinks to wash your hair. I've been going to hair salons for 55 years and have never seen that. I asked for a shape up on my neck hair once and the lady didn't even have any clippers. Wth? Then the other thing I hated was the owner won't let anyone but her answer the phone and she assigns you to an operator. So if you like someone you can't call them directly, that really sucks. You can't build a relationship with your stylist cause you don't have the same one, they are always quitting or being late. You go there sometimes and they act like you didn't have an appointment. Professional? Not really...

I am a very nervous person when letting someone new cut my hair and I would 100% let her cut my hair again! I was also five minutes late and lost so maybe that's why I felt it was quick. 4 stars for Kay. Now, for the person who washed my hair. This person scrubbed my hair like I was a rag dog. She didn't ask if I was okay and I said warm water was fine but it was hot water on scalp. Not the best way to treat hair. She scrubbed so hard that when I took off the towel I had a huge ball of hair she ripped off from scrubbing. I just wanted to cry from the amount of hair I saw her rip off. I felt the tug and rip when she was scrubbing but I was just so overwhelmed I really couldn't speak. I think it was the anxiety of going to a new salon. I feel like she ripped a part of my hair in the back and there's literally a spot missing. She was talking so loudly with people which is totally fine to have conversation; but to do it so loudly without a concern for the customer your servicing is crazy. I wanted to come back but I don't think I'll ever go back again because I wouldn't want her to touch my head again. I still felt the pain of the hair pull and rip all night and I still get anxiety thinking of all the hair she pulled out. It has taken me a long time to regrow my hair. I treat my head gently. There is no reason why anyone should be pulling your hair during a wash. I wish I could go back in time and never let this girl touch my head. Hope this helps someone speak up if you are getting scrubbed by her.
