Now I understand what a red flag it is when there's no return policy and the lace is already cut when you buy it. I will say, the 1:1 customer service and the look of the place are great. I was scammed, though. I hope others have a different experience, but if they've done it once they've done it twice.

I get a relaxer but they do a lot of styling with natural hair and Tereze the owner and main stylist is known for her coloring. The prices are average for the services they provide.

Let me just say the sheer amount of stuff to look at was amazing. We had a great time shopping with these two lovely ladies we laugh together and leveraged their experience to get the best items. If you are looking for a wig of any color and I do mean any color or style this is where you want to go. This is the type of place where you can find that one of a kind unique color or mix of colors to suit your personal style. Make sure you check out the jewelry counter as they not only have pierced earrings they also have clips, as well as tons of necklaces, bracelets etc. BTW we found street parking and that was a major bonus and at no time did we feel rushed or like we were bothering them asking if the wig came in a different color, they even recommended a couple we left with. Yes we let with four wigs, two jewelry sets..and the prices were better then we have in seen in other places. Go talk to those kind ladies and tell them what you're looking for.... Happy shopping

Who knew that salons were open on Sundays? I certainly didn't until I found this place on Yelp…read more During this pandemic, I have had to fend for myself for some of my beauty routines, with hair being the last thing I want to do. There is a reason why I make good money, it is to pay people to do those things I can and could, but don't want to. My regular stylist was down for the count from the pesky virus, so I had not been able to get my hair done. I reached out on Yelp through their page and made a request for an appointment. The response was quick as someone wanted to know what service I wanted and when did I want to come in. I took a chance on seeing if I could come in on a Sunday, but never thought they would say yes....well they did. They gave me the contact info of the stylist I would be meeting with and told me to reach out to her. Tameka was quick to respond to my request and confirm the time. The shop itself is in a store front, small but attractive, with great natural lighting. It is hard to spot, but is next to the American Ale House, on the south side of Howard Street (plenty of street parking). The shampoo area is separated from the salon (two bowls) and there is a separate area for the dryers. There are about 5 stations and a receptionist desk. When I arrived, Tameka was sitting at the receptionist desk, waiting for me. My appointment was for 11 am and Tameka started immediately. I have to say she has great hands and that shampoo was amazing. Part of the service also included a steam treatment to hydrate the hair, followed by a blow dry, trim and flat iron style. Total price was $80 and well worth it, with payment handled on Zelle. My hair felt and looked amazing. Total time was an hour and a half and that is great. I hope to have my regular stylist gets well and comes back to me, but Tameka is in my contact list and I will be calling her sometime soon for another Sunday visit.

What I think is unfortunate about so many reviews is that people have a tendency not to give…read morePOSITIVE reviews. So here's one for Savad's/Sharita. *****DISCLAIMER: I do NOT work for or WITH Savad's or Sharita in Any way. I have been a client of Sharita's for a few years and I hate to see anything but good reviews about because I know her work well. The pictures I added are from her website***** I've been a client of Sharita's since 2009. I was referred to her by a friend. I've been wearing sew-ins since 2005, and I've had many different stylists and methods done on my hair. What I will tell you is that I have NEVER had a sew in as wonderful as Sharita's. Period. My hair is so believably real that even people that KNOW me have to take a double take. I've had 22' inch hair in my head UNLAYERED, and people on the street thought it was growing from my head FACT: Sharita is EXTREMELY fast at sew-ins. For my most recent install (3/8/12), I arrived at 11am and was out the door at 1:30pm. This includes wash/condition, braiding, sew in, AND there was 1 person ahead of me FACT: The ladies in the salon can get loud. They do have a tendency to laugh and speak loudly to each other. FACT: It is BEST to make an appointment with Sharita. Although walk-ins are welcome, regardless of if you've had your hair done by her before, she WILL refer you to someone else if she's booked. NOTE: She is the fastest in the salon at sew-ins, so you're pressing your luck if you get referred FACT: Sharita cuts tracks towards the TOP of your hair in order for it to lay flat. FACT: Sharita does have phone conversations with other people while you're in her chair. The volume in which she's talking depends on the day and conversation. I've never been bothered by it. FACT: Unlike most women that must find one stylist for sew-in, one for cut, another for color, and one for styling, I can firmly say that Sharita can do ALL of the above. I was skeptical when I FIRST went to her in 2009, but on my second install, I was made a believer. FACT: If you stick with her, your hair will GROW. From November 2009 to October 2010, my hair grew over 9 inches. My hair was 1" below my ear when I went to her initially and it grew to 2" above my bra strap. WHAT TO EXPECT WITH SHARITA FOR A SEW-IN: - Call and make your appointment - When you walk in to her area in the back of the salon, say hello and Denise will wash your hair (assuming you don't require a take down) - Ja will blow dry and braid your hair (That girl is GREAT at braiding. She's fast and the braids are SMALL so the weave absolutely lays flat). Sharita will ask where you want your part (assuming you're not using a closure) and if you want your edges out. She'll part, Ja will braid from there. - Sharita will call you to her chair when it's your turn and she'll have you thread needles as she sews - When she's done sewing in, she will ASK you if you want her to layer it, if you want a blunt cut, curls, etc. She will also SHOW you what hair she has left over. - Pay using cash or credit, FIN! All in all, you may or may not be bothered by the other ladies in the salon. You may or may not be OK with waiting if you have people ahead of you. All in all I will GLADLY endure ALL of the above in exchange for the QUALITY and SPEED of her work. AMAZING Sew-Ins!!!
