    The vibe and quality of her work can be summed up in two words: "THE BEST." Definitely recommend!

    Joy chosen is a wonderful. This is the best rating experience I have ever had. She does amazing work and she has such a pleasant personality. She works out of her home and it's super comfortable. I have a lot of experience with Raiders and I can honestly say that she is the best in the Los Angeles area. If you have any hesitation, please remove it. I went to a woman for years, and I thought that nobody could be better than she was. But Joy chosen is. You will not regret it.

    I thought I was only going to get my hair braided but I left feeling joyful, happy, and all around pleased. She is an absolute wonderful human with her calm and relaxing voice. She finished my individuals in less than 5 hrs, she takes no breaks just works straight through. Her prices are fair and I would definitely recommend her

    She was able to squeeze me in at the last minute and give me exactly what I wanted. Worked fast and the twists and parts came out beautifully!

    I was looking for a new braider and found Joan here on Yelp. Her reviews are excellent and absolutely true. I reached out and got a response in a timely manner. The style I wanted was from the pictures Joan posted of a client so it was an easy decision. Scheduling was easy and follow up was also good. My appointment ended up being pushed 30 minutes because her client was late and I got a text from Joan to come 30 minutes later in plenty of time so that I hadn't left the house yet which I appreciated very much. Once I arrived we got right to work: Joan works FAST, is very gentle, and we chatted as she worked but she stayed focused on my hair the whole time. Her braiding space is neat and tidy and I felt comfortable. My hair had some damage from a previous install and Joan gave me some great advice and recommended products to care for my hair. We finished at just under 6 hours and I could not be happier with the result! Absolutely beautiful and neat, I LOVE my braids! And my scalp hasn't bothered me at all: I slept comfortably that same night and I could pull my hair up with no problem. Pricing was very good and the hair was included. Joan clearly takes pride in her work and is so friendly and warm. Dealing with braiders can certainly be hit or miss but this is experience was an A+ and I'll be back! Thank you Joan!

    Joy is truly an amazing woman, with a heart of gold. She radiates love and she is an outstanding braiding stylist. She was very gentle and responsive to my needs. I officially give her the "Green Thumb Stylist" award because I have found someone who will help my healthy hair grow!!!! Ladies stop going to the women that are destroying our hair. Most of us do not have quality hair because we're letting the wrong person in our heads. My hair has been damaged in the past so many times, because of supposed protective styles that were put into my head with rough hands. It's time to stand up for your hair and say "NO MORE PAIN!" Black women were born to have amazingly beautiful hair, short or long. Our hair requires delicate, love and compassion, and that's what Joy gave me when she put her hands on my head.

    Box Braids

    I had box braids done and Joy did an excellent job. What I liked the most was that she has very gentle hands, I didn't feel any discomfort. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a fabulous hairstyle.

    Boho braids

    I was looking through Yelp when I came across joy's page. Set up my appointment and I couldn't be happier with how my hair turned out. She takes her time making sure your hair will come out just right and I felt comfortable start to finish. definitely will be re-booking!

    Service is always great!!! My hairstylist Betty, even better! She's so amazing and very welcoming…read moreShe is always recommended to friends and family who ask about my hairstylist. 10/10 for sure.

    I've been coming here for several months, had high hopes, unfortunately the salon and in my case,…read moreone of the colorists lacks the key element, customer satisfaction, process repeatability and accountability. Moreover, maturity level has a lot to do with it. Location: Salon is located near the Bay Club, the location is beautiful and plenty to do afterwards, but not worth it when you leave the salon with results that you clearly advised you did not want to see. Parking: Metered parking, somewhat tight due to gym; however, the salon does provide you a pass. Front desk person: Woman that answers the phone provides the recommendation on who to see based on the description that you give her; altough I'm not sure she is the right person so make those determinations. Color: Failed results at all times, kept saying that it's a process, yet she never invested in achieving the color as we discussed. I felt low and disregarded every single time I left the salon. I paid over $1000 to not obtain the results in each session. When I shared my concerns with her and advised that the incorrect color was used, she became distant, ghosted me on text and was not honest about when she was in the office. I called the salon and the woman at the front told me she was there. I feel cheated and hurt. There is no salon manager, no one that cares or that you can speak to about your concerns. Payments are done directly to the stylist.

    I texted Edgar a wish pic and it looks nothing like it. I do not recommend him. He offered his next cut free and I won't go back

    I've booked with her multiple times. Twice for myself and once for my son, so this is based on…read morerepeated experiences, not a one-time issue. I'll start with the only positive: her braiding technique is good. She clearly has skill. But everything else about the experience is extremely trash. Her reliability is a major problem. Appointments get rescheduled last minute, sometimes without proper notice, and there have been instances where appointments were canceled altogether. What makes it worse is the clear pattern- if a "celebrity client" comes up, regular clients get pushed aside like they don't matter. That kind of inconsistency makes it impossible to trust her with your time. On top of that, the way she communicates is unprofessional and, at times, uncomfortable. There's a tone that comes off dismissive and disrespectful, like you're inconveniencing her just by being there as a paying client. I even witnessed her yell at a client through the door for simply trying to enter the building, which was honestly shocking. That kind of behavior says a lot about how she treats people. At the end of the day, talent doesn't excuse poor business practices. Being skilled but unreliable, inconsistent, and disrespectful to clients is a serious issue. I gave her multiple chances, and each time confirmed the same thing that there's a lack of professionalism and respect. If you value your time, clear communication, and being treated properly as a client, I would strongly recommend going somewhere else.
