I searched for quite a while to find someone who was able to properly care for my son's hair, and…read moreafter researching and reading through lots of reviews for a multitude of places, I decided on Something Natural Hair - and I am so glad that I did! I've learned my lesson the hard way that not everyone who says they are familiar with natural hair care, actually are. My son has very thick low porosity hair and I really wanted to make sure he was set up with the best possible person who could trim the ends and give it a little extra TLC. Before scheduling, I reached out to LaTashia with photos to see if she was familiar with working with his hair type and she was really understanding, patient, and very helpful. -- I meant to write this review the same week of his appointment, but I blinked and a whole month went by! LaTashia took such good care of my son and was so gentle with him, that he fell asleep! He was so relaxed and it made me realize that even our children need little spa days sometimes. I couldn't have asked for a better person to take care of my son's hair needs. LaTashia - I am so grateful for your partnership that day, for your care with my son's hair and his whole being, and for your conversation. I am thankful we found you and will absolutely be coming back when it's time for another trim. Wishing you all the best.

This isn't just a hair salon, it's a family…read more I haven't lived in TX very long but I found Shelby shortly after moving here and presented her with the huge task of not only correcting my hair from previous damage but installing extensions. I was so happy to have someone work with me who not only cares about achieving my dream hair, but also cares about the quality of my natural hair. She walked me through the process step by step before even touching my hair and was very transparent on the pricing which I appreciated. Not only do I have my dream hair but I have an entire salon full of ladies who feel like family. Shelby runs the salon in a way that everyone can feel welcomed, appreciated, and valued. My daughter is young and sees them as well. I always feel confident leaving her in their hands so she can practice her independence in an environment I can truly trust. The pricing on all services is MORE than fair and they will never do anything to your hair that could be detrimental in the long run to the integrity of your hair. I now drive a ways to them since I moved, but it's worth it because I'll never go anywhere else!

So, I requested long Spring twists, or small passion twists and overall my hair looks nice. The…read moreservice took 6 hours. There was one lady that worked in the front of my hair by herself and one lady did the back of my hair by herself. I understand that the style took a long time because of the length and size I requested, plus they were a bit understaffed. I have a few "gripes." When I drove away one of the twists in the front slipped out. I could have turned the car around but after sitting for 6 hours, I was over it. I reattached it myself. Also, two days later, some of my natural hair is sticking out of the twists in the back and I've been working my hair back into them when I see it. Additionally my hair is parted into a small grid in the front and I have some pretty large parts in the back. Don't get me wrong, I get it, but in think my hair would look weird if I tried to put it in a half up half down style. Overall, the hair doesn't look bad I'm just not sure how long it's going to last. If you're in a pinch and need braids, maybe risk it. I might suck it up and drive to Houston next time.

I honestly hate having to leave a negative review because I'm generally not someone who complains…read morepublicly, but I feel obligated to share my experience so others can make an informed decision. I recently paid nearly $300 for braids at this salon after discussing several protective style options with the staff, including braids, kinky twists, and others. Before selecting a style and even sitting down for the service, I explained that my main goal was to choose something that would look neat, hold properly, and last through my August vacation without needing to be redone beforehand. I have very soft, fine-textured hair and shorter hair length, which was clearly visible during my consultation and in the photos attached, so I relied heavily on their professional guidance regarding what style would work best for my hair type, hair length, and long-term goals. The braider who worked on me was the woman seated in the very first chair on the left when entering the braiding area. She is a shorter, heavyset woman with a limp. I mention this simply so other customers know which stylist performed my service. Before the service began, I specifically asked multiple times whether this style would realistically work well for my hair type and length and continue looking good over time because I genuinely did not know what to expect. I trusted the salon's expertise when I was reassured that this style would achieve the long-lasting result I was looking for. I did not leave the salon initially feeling dissatisfied. However, the next day I noticed one braid in the front that already appeared frayed and frizzy. Once I saw that, I started looking more closely throughout the rest of the style and began noticing additional areas with frizzing, fraying, hair sticking out, and sections that already looked worn and untidy in less than 24 hours. To be clear, the issue was not that the braids were loose. In fact, they were extremely tight. That is part of why the amount of frizzing and fraying the very next day was so concerning to me. When I returned to the salon the following day, I pointed out numerous braids that I felt needed to be corrected. While they did attempt to address my concerns, the solution honestly felt more like a quick band-aid fix than a true resolution. The stylist already had another customer in her chair, and it was very clear the goal was simply to smooth over a few visible areas quickly rather than properly correcting the overall quality concerns I was expressing. What frustrated me most was that each time I pointed out additional problem areas, I was repeatedly told that my hair type and length were the issue. However, if my hair type or length were truly not suitable for achieving a neat, long-lasting result with this style, that should have been communicated honestly before the service was performed -- not after I had already paid nearly $300 and problems were already appearing within a day. The biggest reason I'm writing this review is because I want people to understand how unhappy I ultimately became with the final result. This was not someone looking for a discount or refund while continuing to wear the style. I was so disappointed after seeing the condition of the braids that I completely removed the hair myself almost immediately afterward. One of the salon assistants even helped me remove it because they could clearly see how upset and dissatisfied I was. I think they were genuinely shocked that I was willing to take out a style I had just spent nearly $300 on, but that alone should show the level of disappointment I felt with the overall outcome. I simply wish there had been more honesty, better quality control, and a more genuine effort to properly resolve the concerns I raised.

Ladies, I can't say…read moreenough about this hair. High quality hair, great customer service and a worthwhile purchase. I was looking for a style option that would help me through my transition. My stylist recommended that I look at the Yaki hair offered at Willis and Company. They offered a variety of hair extension options. The customer service was top notch. James (the Owner) took the time to explain the maintenance techniques in order ensure the longevity of your "hair". Even washing the hair went smoothly, it was still soft after shampooing and there was no shedding. I have received so many compliments since my install. Finally, there is hair that is an "extension" of me.

The partial highlight that ended up costing me $762.50…read more I booked a partial highlight service and provided inspiration photos in advance showing a brunette with face-framing highlights. After nearly five hours in the salon, the service was completed and I immediately raised concerns regarding the harsh lines, visible demarcation, and lack of blending between my natural color and the highlighted sections. I also asked whether additional blending, such as a root melt, would help soften the result. Rather than discussing those concerns, there seemed to be confusion about what I was seeing, so I ultimately asked that photos be taken so we could review the result together. The attached straight-hair photos were taken at that time, before I left the salon. That's when "one" area was acknowledged and a few lowlights were added. However, the broader concerns regarding the harsh lines, visible demarcation, and lack of blending throughout the rest of my hair were largely dismissed. I was ultimately told the result was "not that bad" and that I might simply need time to adjust to having highlights. That response is ultimately why I did not return for corrective work. Had my concerns been acknowledged, I would have been open to working toward a solution. Instead, I left questioning how the issues could be corrected when they were not being recognized in the first place. The attached wavy-hair photos were taken two weeks later. By that point, the harsh lines, visible demarcation, and lack of blending were even more noticeable, leaving me embarrassed and self-conscious about my hair. I sought a second opinion from another salon, where the stylist immediately saw the same issues I had raised during my appointment. They explained that significant corrective color work would be required, expressed sympathy for the experience, and were unable to understand how I had left the salon with a result like this. The correction required additional highlights, lowlights, toning, and blending to soften the harsh lines and create a more natural result. Initial service - $300 Corrective service - $462.50 Total spent for an outcome that was not my initial goal - $762.50 Attempts to contact the salon owner through both Instagram and the salon's website gmail received no response.

They recommend coming back every 6 months for touch-ups but I managed to come back after 8, even though my hair definitely was in need of a trim at that point! Tammy and co. are super professional and attentive to all details of the straightening process. The process itself is long (~4 hours) but they help make the time go by with their efficiency! I was also able to get complimentary coffee, water, and chocolate throughout my session to stay awake. After my session, I was gifted with a holiday cup with treats! Highly recommend Detammy if you are looking for a reputable place for Japanese hair straightening in Austin.

So I figure I'll share my experience. I went here for the Korean straight perm. I've had it done before and know what it SHOULD look like. She just missed random pieces. I had a couple of stripes of curls mixed in. It was also stick straight in a way the prior times weren't- not just straight, but limp and lifeless. i know that it's supposed to give straight hair results, but... it was just different from what I've had before. By different, I mean worse. And then the haircut. Oh, the haircut. Maybe a blind squirrel chewing the edge of a hedge would admire this haircut, but no one else. It was crazy how uneven the back was, and zero layers. I went and paid for another cut at a different salon as soon as I could. So- won't be going back. And I miss California for their Korean hair salons! Anyone have a legitimately good rec in Austin?
