Sisterlock Installation was a pleasant experience. Frances was very easy to work with. Every interaction I had with her from my initial consultation to my first wash went smoothly. She was thorough in what the process entails, honest and forthcoming with pricing and my decision to move forward with getting these locs. Everything I researched about Sisterloc, the process and how to find a consultant, she did everything by the book. It took a total of 24 hours in the span of three days to it, but Frances was so personable, our conversations went by on so much that the time didn't phase me. I personally did not feel any discomfort when getting them install, my scalp was just a bit itchy after she completed a bug section, other than that, I was very pleased with my experience with her. I was very impressed in the fact that she did not at all pressure me in anyway to schedule my appointment to install them right away let alone hire her to do my locs. Her shop was very clean, her other two stylist were well mannered and skillful. There are street parking with meters but there was alway a spot readily available. If you don't want to pay for meter parking, there residential street parking close by read more

I have had this review drafted forever. Time to post. How cute, professional and welcoming is Frances' Hair Studio? I had a salon scheduling debacle that ultimately left me stranded. These things unfortunately do happen industry-wise, so it's always best to have a back-up. I quickly searched my contacts and called not one, but two other viable options and neither had any immediate availability. 'Oh brother...Okay Pat, take a deep breath...Don't panic!' Then I recall bookmarking a natural black hair salon some many months ago that had nothing but five star reviews. I searched my bookmarks and quickly located Frances' Hair Studio. I called to check her availability and as luck would have it she had availability within an hour and a half. Phew!! That's practically an available walk-in appointment. I arrived on time, early in fact, and was greeted friendly by everyone including the customers. Plus, the environment looked clean and well organized. Good start. Frances' process of working between myself and another client seemed effortless. I have been natural for years. And after a thorough shampoo, conditioner and light blowout, and a much needed trimming of my ends, Ms. Frances showed me the extent of my hair growth that reached past my shoulders. I never blowout my hair so I was clueless and it was quite nice to see that years of being natural helped my hair growth. Since drafting this review, Frances has saved the day on more than one occasion since having found her that one fateful day and she has left me more than happy with her service.

I haven't been here in such a long time because I changed my hair routine but I always remembered my experience and spoke of it often. Frances is a natural hair specialist, she offers treatments and she's gentle; listening to the needs of her clients. Her prices are extremely reasonable and her shop is very clean. I first came here when I started transitioning back to natural. My sister-in-law told me about Frances; she used to frequent the salon when she lived and worked in Westchester. I remember making an appointment and when I arrived, Frances braided some cornrows for me of which, none hurt. It was a completely painless process. After that visit, I started doing my own hair, having a friend braid it for me. Recently, I was in need of cornrows for a new style and my friend was unable to continue braiding my hair, so I stopped by France's shop to make sure she was still opened. I was very happy to know she was and promptly made an appointment for a couple days after, first thing. The day of my appointment, I was running late because we had an unusual snow storm so I called and she was understanding and it wasn't even a big deal because I live about a five minute drive away from the shop so it is SUPER convenient. She knocked out my hair in less time than it normally takes and she even cost less than I used to pay to have it done....WINNING! Frances also offers natural skincare products that her sister, Shari, makes from scratch! She informed me that they host showcases so that customers can sample products and place orders from Shari's Ayari Naturals All Natural Skincare Products. I can't wait to attend a showcase because I make a lot of my own products at home and the close vicinity of the shop makes it easy to bet supplies in a pinch if I don't have the time to mix a natural brew for myself.

I really wasn't looking forward to a few hours at the salon to get my children's hair done as we were going on a trip for the summer. As my children's hair was being done, Ms. Francis was handling another client and she was very friendly. Two young ladies were available. One did my daughter's hair and the other my son's hair. Francis and the two young ladies were fabulous. The young lady that did my daughter's hair was quick and for the most part the process was painless for my 11 year old daughter. I can't say the same thing for my 7 year old son. He was crying almost from the beginning. His hairstylist, along with the other young lady, and Ms. Francis were encouraging my son telling him that he was doing a great job. After his hair was done, he was grateful. I was grateful as well. Not only because it was over, but because the vibes in the salon were amazing. The young ladies and Ms. Francis made small talk to make my children and I feel comfortable. Prior to my appointment, I was asked to show samples of what I would like done for my children's hair which I appreciated. I was also informed that I could wash my children's hair prior to coming in and it would cost less; which I did and they got right to business. I very much appreciated that as well. I will definitely be getting my hair done there as well when I have time. I love the vibes and the service. I loved that my appointment was for 2pm and I was serviced at that time. Punctuality is a HUGE thing for me. The ladies definitely deserved the tips they received. I have attached photos as well. read more

My rating is not based on the quality of work, but of the ethics of the business. The girl who did my daughter's hair did a fantastic job. My poor rating is based on being charged more than what I was quoted. Prior to my appointment, I was asked to send a photo of my daughter's hair braided. I was given a quote based on the picture and a few questions I was asked. Upon arriving, they confirmed it was medium braids, just like the photo I sent. My husband came for the 2nd half fthe appointment and paid at the end. We were charged $80 more than what I was quoted! When he spoke up, the owner claimed the photo I sent showed her hair at shoulder length, the mid back costs more. I'm attaching the photo (blue hair) to show that the original pic I sent was almost the same as what they had done. And furthermore, the braid size they did was bigger than the photo I sent. And the bottom of her braids are knotted off, leaving an extra 5 inches of unbraided hair. So for me to be charged $80 more for less braids and same length is unacceptable. The decision in price change should have been stated when we arrived. read more

I found a little gem after living in Yonkers for 16 years. I was going to a regular hairdresser for years, until she moved. But she didn't even provide all the services for African American hair. It was so refreshing going to see Frances, after reading about her on Yelp. My hair is very delicate and breaks off easy, but as soon as Frances felt it, she knew how to handle it. For the first time in this area, I was able to get washed, conditioned, and BRAIDED at the same location!! She was so gentle while braiding my hair ( and I have a tender scalp!), and the appointment slot she gave me, was just for me (appreciate that!). Lastly, the price I paid was so reasonable. Frances has proven herself and has definitely gained a new regular customer in me. read more

I called her to make an appointment, she was not friendly over the phone AT ALL. She advised me to text her a picture of what I wanted and I did. She gave me a price. I proposed a date she replied she didn't work on Sundays. So I proposed Saturday... it's been two days with no reply. Extremely unprofessional, so since she doesn't want my money I will gladly give it to someone else. I don't understand how business owners provide such terrible type of customer service in the day and age of internet reviews. Hopefully it's a learning experience. read more

I went In for a simple 2 braids with extensions. Ms. Frances' was amazing!! I'm new to the whole added hair process and had no idea what hair I needed or anything. Ms Frances' allowed me to ask her many questions from transitioning my hair to the type of styles best for summer. She was very patient with me. She didn't pull my edges when she braided, I didn't lose clumps of hair as she did it. She was very gentle yet firm with me new hair growth and the whole process. Her shop is very cozy. The clients were all very welcoming smiling at me the entire time and engaging in conversation with me. The prices were phenomenal!! I'm definitely coming back. read more

I'm from out of town and I went to Frances' Hair Studio solely based on the reviews and was not disappointed. My locs were a mess - a lot of new growth and my hair and scalp was dry from the winter climate. I got a wash, retwist, and hot oil treatment. I'm particular about the products that go in my hair so I usually bring my own to new salons but Frances is very knowledgeable and uses great products. I didn't even need mine and I was super impressed. My hair looks great and feels great. She's very professional and easy to talk to. I didn't get stuck in the salon all day and her prices are fair. Also, I really liked the vibe in the salon. I'll definitely be going back. read more
