    Good for basic braids and walk ins. They don't do anything fancy just regular knotless and corn rolls

    Great service! Beautiful results! I loved my bowl experience and how Tito styled my mom and I. Vibe…read moreis giving it's time for renovations.

    I'm new to town and I'm not into trying new stylists lol my old stylist from Vegas has texted me…read moreevery 2 weeks to see how I've been and to see if I found a new place. Someone mentioned Mena's Hair to me at a party over a month ago and recommended it because his wife went and he said our hair was similar. He spoke highly of the business but I was still hesitant. I love the fact that they are 24 hours! That's fantastic because I'm a super early bird! I had found the one closest to home and read the reviews on Yelp DAILY lol trying to make a decision. Today was the day! Instead of heading to the gym, I decided to go get my hair done. I arrived and the door was locked which was good because it was early but Emed saw me :) he smiled and advised the gentleman to open the door. I was greeted by a crew of nice men who said "good morning, how are you?" Which was nice because I'm the annoying morning person and I love to greet and be greeted lol I felt comfortable and the young man at the desk asked what services I needed. Basic, wash, deep conditioning and blow out. I went to get a cape, and got right to the shampoo bowl. Emed was incredible! Solid wash! I know the reviews said rough but I like rough because my scalp needs cleaning! The conditioner treatment was nice, sitting under the steamer. I was then sent to Aydin. He was very kind and did a fantastic job on my hair! I felt like a new woman! I appreciate what Mena's offers and I was out the door in 75 minutes! I will definitely be back!

    Terrible service. Terrible finished results. I asked for ends clipped, they claimed I received a…read morefull hair style cut. I asked for a light blue rinse, they turned my hair turquoise. I will never ever return to this shop for any kind of service. They shouldn't even be in business!!!

    Literally what the heck! I went to the shop at 9am on a Wednesday. They were supposed to be open…read morebut didn't open doors until 9:30. That was a minor detail, it didn't bother me too much. I get in and the woman washing my hair asked if I had dreadlocks before? I have 4c hair and it's long. The implications of her question and the way she asked me was disgusting and I contemplated getting up and leaving. I paid $15 additional dollars for a deep condition but honestly it was a waste of money because the lady washing hair does not do a good job. I proceed to get my hair blow dried and the man doing it was polite and courteous but I will note that yes they use excessive heat but I saw past that because I have very resilient hair that can take a lot of heat. After an hour of blow drying and wincing from the heat burning my scalp at times, I'm now heading to get my hair straightened. This is when it gets interesting, the man who greeted me when I walked in and told me that a trim is $15 is straightening my hair. He shows me how much he's going to trim and proceeds to give me a hair cut. He was scissor happy which l don't mind because I prefer healthy ends over length. Now it's time for me to pay. He tells me that is $115. I was not having that. I stayed calmed though. Why wasn't I going to pay that you ask? Because I asked how much it would cost as soon as I entered and he was very vague, I kept pressing him for a price but all he said was that it could cost $55 and up. Now I asked them to break down $115 to me and they said the wash, blow dry and style for my hair alone was $75. Then the deep condition was $15 and the hair cut was $25. I refused to pay for a hair cut that I was told was going to be a trim. It's not my fault that you're scissor happy. I stood firm and got the price down to $105 and since it was my first time it came down to $95. Although the woman who washed my hair insisted that I've been there before. I paid them the $95 and still left a tip. Why such a long review? It's simple, I'm tired of hair salons taking advantage of African American customers and up charging them at the end.

    So I booked to have a big chop pixie cut here. I originally wanted to book with Shae but she was…read morebooked to they sent me to Dihanna. When I first entered I was welcomed to a very happy and light atmosphere and greeted by a kind receptionist. My appointment was at 5 I was out of the salon in 3 hours which isn't bad at all. With that being said, there are 2 reasons why I wouldn't be returning. First, they charge before your hair is even styled. To me that's sketchy because what if I don't like my hair ? (Which happened to be the case in the end). Second, after I showed her my inspiration picture she did it completely different! I was like umm this is too fluffy. She said well it'll lay down when you wrap it up tonight. I was so confused. She could tell I wasn't pleased and asked what could she do. But we were the last ones in the salon and you could tell she wasn't REALLY tryna stay any longer. I was so upset cause I just paid $130 for something I had to go get fixed the next day by a inner city stylist. Who only charged me $50 because of my circumstances but would've been $90 without any. And let me to you she SMOKED my hair. I'm not gone be rude and advertise for her here but Just do your research before booking. Cause I just paid $180 for style that would've costed $90.

    I had the opportunity to find Shae Mitchell on the internet…read moreand I then checked her out on Facebook!! Her shop has only been open for (3) weeks inside the Riveroaks shopping mall. I made an appointment and I was blessed to meet her at the front desk. She and her staff, some of them greeted me so warmly, I felt right at home. I was there st 12:10 and was at the shampoo bowl By 12:25! Everything else was so easy. She asked what I wanted and was not ," scissor happy" She gave me exactly what I wanted. I walked out of the salon a very happy patron. Finally found a hairdresser that not only keeps appointments but Is a very humble person. The owner, Shae Mitchell Walker, did my hair herself. She also let me know that everyone in her salon can take care of me if she cannot. Such professionalism!!!!! I have my next appointment in (2) weeks. If you want a hairdresser that is good, listens to what you want,not over priced and very very humble. Even her staff is the same. Please check her out. She aims to make you a happy customer!!
