My mom took me here because I didn't want to get my hair blown out again and I wanted braids. From her washing my hair to the very last braid she made sure I was comfortable and well. She greeted us outside and walked us in. While she was washing my hair she kept asking if my neck felt okay or if it hurt which a lot of people wouldn't bother with. She really handled me and my hair well. Ive been to the same person getting my hair braided since I was 5 and I was really nervous about going to someone else for the first time. But I'm glad I did because I think I'll be going to her from now on. She braids gently and makes sure you're okay. I came in with a very tender head as my head was hurting prior. And half way through some parts of my head were really hurting so she took the braid out and left it alone and came back to that part of my head later. I really appreciated that as I didn't want to be in a lot of pain. During the whole thing she even asked us if we wanted any food or water. She kept us entertained with her stories and i felt really comfortable. The ending result came out wonderful. My box braids have never looked like this and I think she did an amazing job.

I met Kalilah at an event and i was talking to her about my hair and how i was struggling to find a natural hair salon that can handle very coarse 4C hair. She assured me that she had girls in the shop who could handle my texture. She was right. She pointed me in Emmas direction. ( forgive me if i spell her name wrong, it drives me nuts when people dont spell my name right) I love the products that were used on my hair. My hair feels so light and airy. It even has a little bounce to it. Im amazed!! Not to mention, my hair smells divine. As you can see in the picture, my hair had a lot of split ends. She cut all that out. I am really pleased with my cut and the silk press. To be honest, i didnt know my hair could get that straight. Y'all don't understand, my hair is very African and loves water but thats it so i was nervous about this. I think conversation's with Emma made me feel better and instilled a little more confidence in me. The ladies in the shop as so lovely. I didn't feel rushed. They really took their time with me and i appreciate that. I hate rushed work. Khalila and Emma were sweet and i recommend them to anyone who needs some TLC for their natural hair. Khalila is very attentive and makes sure she follows up after the appointment. The whole experience was great and I'll definitely be back.

I brought my son here to get his hair braided by Subrina. I made my appointment via Styleseat and…read moreit was a very easy process. I was contacted via text and informed of a slight time change but it wasn't anything inconvenient. (Well appreciated). I arrived with my son hair prewashed and dried. The women there were all warm and welcoming(not mean mugging as if they hate their choice in life) That was so refreshing. His hair took a total of 1.5 hours I believe to complete as I was doing laundry not to far away. When I returned I was so please with the results. He was as well. I will definitely be keeping this establishment as his monthly hair maintenance regimen (I'm sooooooo over doing his hair myself) 1.5 months later and his braids still look great even with the fuzz... Thanks again for such excellent service

The stylist, Ashley, got started right away. I needed to add on a wash and blow dry - which was no issue at all. I'm super particular and how my hair is handled and she was slightly heavy handed while detangling (hence the 4 stars and not 5). She doubled checked what style and length I booked - copper/ginger knotless braids at mid back length. Her parts are impeccable, the braids are neat and flat. The color combination of 350 and 30 were perfect and exactly what I was hoping for. The other women on staff mixed the hair and separated it so Ashley could focus on braiding. The whole service took roughly 5 hours. I booked on Styleseat which may not be the preferred method of the shop but it was just fine in the end. When booking this salon make sure to use the address listed on the business and not the one in Uber or you'll end up at different braiding salon. They'll kindly give you directions though.

I made an 8:30 am appointment for butterfly locs. The stylist Octavia arrived at 8:43 on a rainy…read moreday. Annoyed and moist i hopped out of my vehicle and entered the salon. Completely unapologetic octavia asks me if i am her butterfly twist appointmet meaning she knew to expect me and chose lateness. Disrespectful. Disliking her instantly, I say yes and refrain from mentioning her lateness. My patience was thin. Knowing abt stylists BS because ive been black my whole life, I show her a photo of what i want. I tell her that is the amount of butterfly locs i would like to see in my head. Octavia immediately says "its not going to be that thick" this is another red flag. My stylist should not be arguing with me about my desires at a $300 price point. Period. ($250 for the style $50 plus tip, the hair was not included and i spent another $50 on that making my price closer to $350 but... I decided not to argue about the hair i had to bring myself) She says that she cant make my hair as thick as in the photo because the persons hair in my photo is crocheted. I am immediately confused because, i understand that MY ROOTS will not look the same as the woman in the photo i provided but that has absolutely nothing to do with how many locs i wanted her to place in my head. she didnt mention that the difference would be in the look of my roots she said it wasnt going to be that thick. Meaning i wasnt about to get as many locs as i was showing her wanted. I could see that she was trying to modulate my future disappointment by trying to float the idea that because my picture had crochet hair that there was no possible way to put that amount of locs into my hair. Like I was too foolish to understand the obvious solution was to simply...part my hair into more and smaller sections. I straight up told her that she was making me uncomfortable and i asked if i could see a picture of what she was about to do and she showed me a picture that is not the same, but is very similar in part structure, to the picture i uploaded. It was then that i understood that octavia never intended to give me a level of work that i would be satisfied with. She gave off the vibe like it was very annoying that my appointment was so early in the morning, that i was going to get whatever she was going to give and i needed to be happy with it. And i was aghast??? I refuse to pay this salon $300 to have my scalp blowing in the breeze. I have attached a picture of what folks scalps are supposed to look like after a proper job is done. It is my opinion that the stylists in this salon do not want to spend the amount of time per client that needs to be spent to achieve the level of satisfaction that i was looking for. My appointment was supposed to be from 8:30-12:30 and... Instillations are a 6-8 hour process due to the braiding. This salon enjoys a tighter timeline than that because they will refuse to truly fill out your bricklayer pattern, resulting in the scalp-centric, hit by alopecia looks all over their instagram page which you can find and coroborrate what i am saying at: for_best_haircare. These looks are repeated in every instance of goddess braids or goddess locs on their page. I am certain that every single woman in this style on their IG page doesnt just suffer from alopecia. At some point you must acknowledge that the problem is the skill and desire of the stylist. So i put octavias $50 tip back into my wallet, apologized for wasting her time and told her to remove her work from my head. Stay off the ave. UPDATE: Note the owner's comment under my post. Does it look professional at all? She proceeds to call me everything but a child of god, talk about several things that had nothing to do w my order (she seems confused which i understand because she wasnt in the store when this happened) she also refused to actually DISPUTE anything i said because im CORRECT and hit the nail on the head about her lazy stylists in one guess. Stacy's stylists are late and unprofessional and her response shows me that she is also unprofessional. Lets recap! My concerns were as follows: 1. No one arrived on time. She didnt say anything about that. 2. Everyone had the stink eye. Apparently thats my fault. Hint: blaming ur customers who are rightfully angry at ur unapologetically late stylist is also deeply unprofessional. 3. Her stylists take too little time on each style and everyones scalps are showing and i have the receipts to prove it. Her response is crickets on that one. Im just a societal menace. ‍ No one asked for micro parting. Do not let this owner gaslight you under my review. I asked for SMALL PARTS. As you can see in the SECOND photo i uploaded with small, NORMAL sized parts. Her scalp just isnt visible because TAJA knows how to do hair. Look at her comment. Do YOU really want to spend your saturday with her? Knowing that if you are unsatisfied you will transform into an arrogant menace to society?
