My review is pretty much identical to another person who got her hair silk pressed by the same stylist as me. The curls were non-existent as soon as I stepped out the salon even though she sprayed hair spray per my request. I didn't even really see the results until I saw it in my reflection in a window when I left. It looks like a blow out or how my hair might look if I leave it straight for a whole month. It is ridiculously dull looking. It feels like I have a whole head of fly aways. My grdauation is tomorrow, so this was *perfect* timing. I wouldn't be surprised if it's heat damaged (it wasn't thankfully, though I had to advocate for myself to have her put in heat protectant. She was a bit annoyed since she said she has a lot of exerience, but she did do it). Luckily, I was able to get it touched up by my sister. She commented that it didn't look like she straightened the roots in the back. If you happen to only see the reviews of your stylist while you're sitting in the chair like I did, I recommend making sure that you can see what they are doing - don't let them have you turned away from the mirror for long. And you might want to deep condition before straightening.

Not a lot of fanfare with decor and I found the lighting to be a bit dim but it didn't impair the braiders. There's a single television that loudly broadcasts religious content or African movies that I found to be easy to follow along with the plot. Thus far, two different ladies braided my hair. I complimented a lady in the grocery store and she gave me their business card. Their prices are lower than some other braid salons I've gone to and there aren't a lot of people waiting around. It appears that they have shampoo bowls if you want them to wash your hair before braid services. However, for many protective styles, I recommend you wash your hair thoroughly, deep condition to avoid damage. A braiding gel is applied but speak up if you feel like too much is being added making your hair feel bogged down by product. Many have issues with the parting of the hair, again, speak up and ask to see what's going on so that you're happy with your style. The lady who braided my hair had one braid higher than the others and when I pointed it out to her, she accommodated me without debate. DO NOT wait until the very end to complain about your hair if you've been watching all along. It's unfair to the braider and it can be resolved by pointing out what you're unhappy about. I would come back here to get my hair braided again as I have been pleased thus far. Take a photo of the style to help with your braid vision.

I heard the conversation. Yet, when we arrived on Saturday morning at 9:00, the "owner" was rude and said "When did you call?" The "owner" had total disregard for a potential customer; in fact, what we received was close to eye rolling. She apparently had not documented the appointment or gave it to someone else. We received no apology or any attempt to give my daughter another appointment. I guess they don't need the business. They surely won't ever get ours.

My first appointment was a consultation which great because Pamela gave me helpful information, listened to my ideas and answered my questions. At the end she let me know how much it would cost and I made an appointment for the following week to get my hair washed, trimmed and a two strand twist style. I was looking forward to coming back because of how respectfully I was treated and how nice the salon atmosphere is. It's relaxing and tidy like a spa. Chanel was my stylist and she gave me the best shampoo I've ever had. It was like a soothing massage! Pamela had summarized our consultation so Chanel knew what I wanted. Everything about my appointment went great! It started on time and Chanel was thorough. She answered my questions about products used on my hair. Cornrows and Co. has their own line and I bought some "My Gel". I'll be back again and again!

I reached out via email (no one ever answers the phone) to get the appointment rescheduled. I was surprised to get a response from her that not only was my appointment not going to be honored, she was canceling ALL of my appointments with her because she's decided to only do color and extension appointments. There was no remorse or an attempt to ensure that my scheduled services were rescheduled. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. Your appointments are unlikely to be honored and are likely to be cancelled. You deserve better than the lack of professionalism and cancelled appointments you're likely to encounter.

As such, I was extremely reluctant to go to a traditional salon where they use harsh chemicals on clients (and the stylists whom work there). So, I was relieved when I saw there was a hair salon here focusing on natural haircare products. Pre-Appointment. I often get flustered in the styling chair and don't always properly communicate the hair style I'm looking for much less the unique qualities of my hair (lots of long, fine hair, some coarse hair in the back). So, instead, weeks before I made an appointment, I emailed the salon describing the state of my hair (texture, up-keep routine) and the style I was looking for (trim, layered on the sides) including a photo of a similar hair style I liked. Appointment. When I got to the salon for my hair cut and styling appointment, Jalessea, the stylist already knew exactly what I wanted and was able to get down to work. Jalessea was diligent, gentle, and gave me the exact hair style I was looking for! I was so pleased with the outcome, her skillfulness, and the high quality natural haircare products that I was enthused to purchase products (made in Italy) she used on my hair. Next Day. When I woke up in the morning, even after tying my hair in a bun, the curls had loosened, but my hair still looked great the next day! (photo below) Will definitely be coming back to this salon!

I am really conflicted about how many stars to give this salon because Shun does great work. I…read morewent to her 3 times (March, April and June) and was fairly happy on my first 2 visits, despite the prices being much higher than I'm used to paying and having some difficulty scheduling the first 2 appointments, because she is a one woman operation. However, my last appointment was disappointing for 2 reasons: 1. At my 3rd visit, Shun advised that I needed a trim, either at that visit or at the next visit. In my experience trims are about $15 and I usually get a trim every six weeks so I said go ahead and do it. Shun charged me $95 for a trim, the same price I paid when I got a style cut at my first visit 3 months ago. When I questioned this, I was told that a trim is a cut and a cut is a trim, they take the same length of time and expertise and that other stylists are unprofessional (I'm not sure why this last point was brought up). She even pulled up something on Google to prove her point, despite my 30+ years of customer experience to the contrary. 2. I specifically asked for my hair to be left longer in the front. I have a picture from a month ago showing my hair touching my collarbone; now it only reaches my chin, so the trim apparently went awry. Because my hair was curly when I left the shop I didn't realize this until I washed and styled my hair today. This revelation prompted me to write this review. I just checked another equally rated stylist's prices, who has tons more Yelp reviews than Corps D'Lite, and she charges $10 for a trim and $35-50 for a cut. My last stylist charged less than half of what Shun charges for the exact same 3 services; the only reason I stopped going to her is that I wanted to lighten my hair and she recommended I go to a colorist. So because I think it ridiculous to pay almost $100 for a trim every 6 weeks, as well as treating me like I'm clueless on what I should be charged for a trim, I won't be back.

Corps d'Elite claims to be a high-end salon, but it is a slightly-above-average salon with…read moreexorbitant prices. The stylist, Shun, did a relatively nice job of washing, drying, flat ironing, and trimming my hair. Her colleagues were friendly, the music was good, and she served me a cup of green tea. Therefore, I will give her 1 star for this review. Unfortunately, Shun fails in many other areas of professional styling. She arrived 15 minutes late for my appointment. She took too long to style my hair, because she was busy making recommendations (upselling) additional services. Thus, I was 30 minutes late to a wedding after my appointment. When I booked the appointment, I told Shun I had a wedding 2 hours after our appointment. She said our appointment would only take an hour. Our appointment took almost 2 hours. Worst of all, the Corps d'Elite prices are absolutely, undeniably absurd. She charged me $95 to trim my ends. (I did not get a fancy hair cut; I got a simple blunt trim without layers.) In addition, she charged me $75 for a wash, dry, and flat iron. When I booked my appointment, I was told I would be charged $55 for the style and just a little more for the trim. Since the prices were so high, I called to ask if I was erroneously overcharged. Shun said I was charged the right amount and she didn't even apologize for the confusion. Instead, she insisted that I actually was getting a good deal, because she is a "professionally trained stylist who could charge hundreds more." She then offered to send me her resume, so that I can verify her qualifications. What kind of unprofessional response is that? Where are her customer service skills? I really want to support Shun, because she is local small business owner. However, I simply cannot support anyone who nonchalantly overcharges me for a basic service. Although her years of experience are impressive, she clearly needs to learn more about customer service and pricing. I will not return. I recommend you avoid this establishment, as well.
