I started seeing Essense when she worked at Bubbles, around the summer of 2016. A few months later…read moreI received an email saying that Bubbles was no longer seeing female clients, and that Essense had moved across the street to the salon lofts in the Ansley Park shopping center. I followed her there, and will continue to follow her wherever she goes as long as it's a reasonable commute for me in ATL. She always nails my haircuts and provides a pleasant experience, all at a reasonable price. There are salon lofts that just opened up a block from my house and I considered using them for the convenience, but bottom line is I don't trust anyone else with my hair!

That's a huge bonus because these salons, natural hair salons especially, are taxing. I went in for a consultation on a Friday night and got an appointment for the following Monday.

It was really a time for us to set expectations and learn about one another. My appointment was awesome and my hair is back on the path to it's healthy glory.

I've been a client of Charmaine, aka Ms Weave Doctor, for over 10 years now. I started going to…read moreMagic Fingers Salon (www.magicfingerssalon.com) ,in California, (owned by her mother) and fell in love with the salon, the stylists and their business. So when I moved to Georgia, I had to find her. Charmaine makes it a point to cater to her clients. I am a very picky and difficult client; however, Charmaine has always delivered on my makeovers. One thing I love about Charmaine is that she does this because it's her passion, not because there's money in it. This means she won't just give you what you want. There was a time I wanted the Keri Hillson style. Charmaine explained that she would do it but she didn't think the style was right for the shape of my face. She helped me pick out a more appropriate style that I loved. This is rare in a stylist. She stays on top of the new styles and helps you make transitions into what fits your personality. Her a la cart pricing structure also helps you manage your budget when planning your appointments. That coupled with her styling skills makes this a no brainer for me.

To the Owner of Petal Jolie Salon,…read more My name is Je' Wesley Day, and I am writing to express my deep disappointment and hurt regarding my experience at your salon. I arrived with my 79-year-old mother to inquire about scheduling her hair appointment. My mother has Alzheimer's and suffered a stroke on October 29, 2025; she was hopeful and excited. Instead, we were ignored at your door--no greeting, no acknowledgment, no welcome. The door remained closed even though we were clearly visible. As a tall Black man wearing a skull cap, I am all too familiar with judgment and profiling in everyday America. But to endure being ignored by my own community's business -- a Black-owned salon -- was especially painful. My mother, right beside me, left with tears in her eyes, feeling embarrassed and unimportant. That is a memory I will carry with me. To add insult to injury, we immediately walked across the street to the white-owned salon in the Bank of America building. There, the door was opened, we were welcomed with open arms, and we received a complimentary consultation. This contrast underscores a bigger point: when Black-owned businesses allow such poor customer service experiences, it damages trust and drives customers elsewhere. In fact, Black consumers in the U.S. are projected to represent about $1.7 trillion in consumption by 2030. Yet, Black-owned firms still make up only a small share of all businesses and gross revenue. If Black businesses hope to capture our community's dollars, it demands excellence in service, not exclusion. My intention in writing this is not merely to express anger but to underline how serious this is. When an elderly woman with Alzheimer's and a recent stroke, standing beside her son, is treated as though she does not matter -- something is broken. Our community deserves better from each other. If you want to lead by example in how you serve Black clients, especially seniors, then you must reflect on how this situation was handled and how it impacts reputation and trust. Sincerely, Je' Wesley Day

Considering that Belinda ghosted me after her 2nd failed attempt at a retie, let's see how long…read moreit'll take for her to respond to this review. I had an appointment for a retie and a hair style with Belinda on June 7th. Belinda's work was sloppy and inconsistent which I didn't realize until I got home and started running my fingers through my hair. To be fair, there were areas throughout my hair that felt 'ok', unfortunately, the majority of my locs had a loose interlocking pattern where she attempted to retie my hair; while there were also sections where locs were completely untouched. I let her know immediately, and she told me I could return the next day. But first she had me send a video and we were able to speak. I sent a video showing me squeezing the loose locking pattern that was in my crown area. Because she told me that she wasn't exactly sure how she could make (any of) it better, we both thought that shampooing my hair would be the determining factor to confirm if I would actually need to return or not. One shampoo (3 days after the appt) confirmed that I would, and when I returned for a do-over, she only scheduled enough time to correct the back of my hair leaving my crown and perimeter completely un-touched. My hair is thin and my density is low. I'm at the stage where my locs are now heavier than the hair is growing out of my scalp. So when when I text her a video of the hanging locs (on my crown and perimeter) that she never addressed during the do-over, I could not BELIEVE that she never responded. It is a HORRIBLE place to find yourself in especially when you have hair that resides in a constant state of vulnerability. It's disgusting to have a hair stylist leave your hair worse off than it was when you walked in, rush you out of their chair twice and then vanish when they know they did not complete the service that you paid for. I will never understand how a "master cosmetologist" can stand over your head and ignore the new growth, unstable locs and the mess that they've have created, and then have the nerve to ghost you. I spent $280 for half a retie with Belinda and then paid an additional $180 to have the other half done. That's $460 and my hair still isn't back to normal. One star is too generous.
