    medium box braids after 1 week
    Nikki O.

    Flora did an absolutely amazing job on my hair. I got medium box braids and usually they only last around a month or so, before they start to look bad but I've had these in for almost 4 months now and they still look fantastic, I get compliments on them still. Even though I don't usually wrap my hair at night or anything, they look great! She was also super nice and although it took a little while for her to start my hair because she had to do something, once her and the other braider began it only took a few hours and came out fantastic!!! It didn't really hurt at all either and sometimes I have a problem with braids being done way too tight, so I let her know about that and she did an amazing job at making sure she didn't make they too tight that they would cut my hair but also just tight enough that they'd last (and lasted, they have!) For her service quality, the price was super reasonable too! I'm never going to another braider again!!! Even though I go to school in San Francisco and the drive over is quite hectic, it is so worth it and I'd much rather go out of my way to go to Flora's shop because she does such good work. I'm incredibly grateful for her because she managed to fit me in within one day, after another braider cancelled on me last minute. She was super kind and accommodating and fit me in as soon as she had time (within like 12 hours notice) and it was truly such a blessing because I was so stressed that my hair wouldn't be done for school the next day. But she did it and it looked fantastic! I am so grateful for her! The pictures I'll add are of the braids around a week after they were done (didn't take any photos right after, sorry!) and then how they looked about a month ago, which was around 2 months after they were done, so you'll see how well they lasted.

Read my top 3 reasons and then realize that all of this cost LESS THAN what i've paid for average, mainstream service which offer none of these traits: 1) First, it's hard to find a professional hairdresser committed to holistic, locally made products! I'm always looking for a stylist with high standards for the health of the environment, our hair, and understands holistic health. She is trained beyond hair salon school. She is aware of toxins used in cheaper, mainstream products. it is a pure pleasure to use ammonia-free highlighting. 2) Second, she's an artist. I've been to many stylists in the past 30 years, and never have i met a stylist who was able to chisel and fringe my hair to complement my face, match my lifestyle, and give me the edge i'm always looking for. 3) Third, a total and generous hostess: Jamie took the time to interview me to learn my lifestyle, preferences, and get to know my hair-what works, doesn't work, etc. She offered me organic coffee, and ionized water. She took genuine interest in who I am-beyond a client. In conclusion, I can't say enough about this hair stylist, and encourage all of you who have high standards, and health consciousness, to check Jamie out. I'm confident that you'll be inspired to write a yelp review as well.

I was told the Pharmacy Manager wasn't available, so I asked to speak with any manager. The manager told me he thinks the Pharmacy Manager's name was "Lau" (he spelled it) and that the pharmacist answering the phones might be "Shemma." I told him that I had already been disconnected multiple times and was just trying to get my prescription. The manager wasn't rude, but it didn't really feel like I was talking to someone who was concerned about fixing the issue. I expected a little more urgency since why are the pharmacy staff acting like they answering calls and disconnecting them on "accident". Instead, the only solution offered was to transfer me back to the pharmacy and let them know I was waiting on the phone. When someone answered, I asked if her name was Shemma. She immediately responded, "Nope," and transferred me. I was connected to Shemma. I realized she wasn't the same person that had disconnected my earlier calls because her voice sounded different from the employee who had answered before. Since Shemma stayed on the line, I decided to ask about my medication and a possible prescription transfer between Walgreens locations. I explained that my regular Walgreens told me that if this location had the medication in stock, they could request the prescription transfer. Shemma told me, "No, I can't do that. Call that Walgreens to transfer it." This completely conflicted with what I had already been told, and I felt like I was being talked over. My biggest concern is still the employee who initially answered the phone. After one of the disconnections, I called back and asked for her name first because I wanted to know who was disconnecting the calls. I figured if the call got disconnected again, at least I would know who I had spoken with. When I asked for her name, she responded, "Sure," and the call was disconnected. This is another reason I strongly recommend asking for the employee's name at the beginning of the call. I feel like people are less tough when they know you know who they are. If you need to follow up, file a complaint, or reference a specific interaction, having the employee's name can make that process a lot easier. With that being said, I don't need my prescription to be filled here anymore. Goodluck to ya if you have to call this pharmacy.

I reported to the "manager" in the store (I reported first to the cashier who told me to talk to the manager) and he couldn't care less. It was like I was bugging him. I think most people go here for meds, it doesn't appear to be stocked well. The website said they had my shampoo but they didn't. They also have half the store under glass. That's a "I won't be back" thing for me. No one likes having to wait ten minutes to get the glass opened. If people are stealing stuff then get security. I'm honestly a well built man but I hate coming here because of the riff raff surrounding the place. There are other options.

    This review is for the pharmacy only. Now let's talk about the HIPAA violation that I have yet to…read morereport and numerous times that this pharmacy had delayed my child's prescription in the past 3-6 months. They claim it's an insurance issue, but my child's insurance hasn't changed in years. Then they lie and say they're out of stock. Which is mostly untrue. There was an incident when I requested to refill a prescription a week in advance. They sent me a text claiming it was out of stock. I had a feeling that it was bs so I drove to the pharmacy and spoke with their staff in-person. Guess what? The prescription that they claimed that was "out of stock" was in fact in stock. The tech told me that I just needed to wait 10 minutes. I had to explain to the tech the importance of my child's medication being filled on time, given that a missed dose can cause a life-threatening issue. About a month ago, I was in line inquiring on my child's prescription. There was another customer standing super close behind me while I was giving the tech very personal information. The staff did not say anything to the customer standing very close to me. There I was disclosing personal medical information not realizing that the customer was near me the whole time. (They should check the cameras; I can't make this up!) I only became aware that the man was standing extremely close to me because another customer in line pointed it out and told him to step back. There is no way that pharmacy tech helping me did not notice him. HIPAA VIOLATION! Anyway, if I could give this pharmacy zero stars I would.

Many bulk items in which you can bring your own container including laundry detergent, dish detergent, face wash, shampoo, conditioner, body wash. I also believe cooking/salad oils in bulk, but have to say I didn't pay a ton of attention to that. Yesterday I tried the bulk Restorative Conditioner made by Griffin Remedy My hair LOVED it! Also purchased a tinted plastic free sunblock stick by Attitude which is relatively hard to find in stores in the U.S. (It's made in Canada). Will definitely keep coming back.
