I was so very very happy to have my interlocks installed by this sweet and knowledgeable lady just…read morea couple of days ago. She was recommended by a friend. Before I contacted her, I was impressed how she had Facebook and Instagram accounts with photos of her work. This helped me research and compare stylists and decide who I'd contact. I carefully check how they care for hair and if others had positive experiences, and Bernadette had the best presentation. SERVICE: She patiently answered all of my questions, explained, made sure I understood the process and felt comfortable going into it. Many hair stylists get annoyed and snappy when you start asking a lot of questions or have concerns. But Bernadette knows her stuff and could easily explain the differences between locs, and what the loc'ing process will be for the next few months. I was a little anxious and nervous about getting locs. I've been thinking about it for a couple of years, but I wasn't quite ready to let go of my Afro and its versatility. She was the perfect person to help with my transition. We had an initial consultation and she had me watch the video about sisterlocs, because that's initially what I wanted. I'm in the very beginning stages and I will definitely be coming back to her for tightening and care. I love the look and am so excited about the journey!

It is with a sorrowful heart that find myself in a position whereby it is necessary to severely…read moredowngrade a rating for a business which I initially gave rave reviews. It is without question that my crocheted hair styles fashioned by Bernadette R., first while at Twist and Go in Laurel, and later at Bee Natural Haircare, also located in Laurel in the shopping center near Chuck E Cheese were always very attractive and too, I enjoyed working with Bernadette and trusted her recommendation to go to crocheted hair styles as a protective style for my thinning, fragile hair. So, naturally when Ms. Granger, decided to branch out and open her own shop in the nearby vicinity, It was a given that I would move with her-especially as my hair looked beautiful when Ieft her shop... even if I had to return (sometimes she came to my home) to correct a situation or to address an issue with which I was not satisfied. I remained a loyal client despite an increase in the cost of $25-$35 in addition to me purchasing the hair. No problem because I understood that Bernadette was now responsible for all of the bills herself. So, about every 6-7 weeks I would faithfully schedule my appointment with Bernadette Ranger at Bee Natural Haircare. Because of the frailty of my hair I became concerned that the weight of the crocheted hair might be creating additional stress on my hair and began to do some research. What I discovered was a method which was recommended for hair care professionals to use for their clients who were dealing with such issues as alopecia. This procedure involved the hair being attached to a crochet wig cap as opposed to being attached directly to the hair itself and could even be used in cases whereby there was significant hair loss. I was so excited that I approached Bernadette about it and inquired as to whether she was familiar with it. Although she acknowledged that she had not worked with this particular process, she embraced the idea fully and was open to viewing the tutorials which I located and forwarded to her. Shortly afterwards I secured the wig caps along with the hair and we began that journey. For the most part, I was satisfied with the process and the results in terms of what it looked like or physical appearance. I had not seen my hair outside of what it looked like after an install until about six weeks ago when I decided to go with a human hair wig unit and to stop crocheting my hair. I came to this decision after realizing that the primary reason I had gone to the crochet route was because I was reluctant to the idea of wearing a wig. However, when I considered it, I had actually been doing that the whole time. And so, I chose to make a budget conscious decision to stop crocheting and made Bernadette aware of my decision. After purchasing and receiving my units I carefully removed crochet hair from my last install and used my Denman 30 brush which is designed especially for natural hair. When I brushed my hair, I was shocked!!! Totally and absolutely SHOCKED!!! Although I anticipated some hair loss after a year with crochet hair and not really having an opportunity to wash and condition my own hair, I was in total shock at the amount of hair that was in my brush. I mean my brush was totally covered with my hair. What was supposed to have been a protective style wound up being absolutely devastating and detrimental to my hair. Now, please understand that while I do not fault Bernadette for t decline in my hair, I hold her accountable in her role as a hair care professional for failing to disclose to me over the course of one whole year what she was seeing each time she did a new install which again was every six to seven weeks. It is my belief that it was her fiduciary responsibility to have disclosed that information to me as a consumer and as her client which she purported to care so much about. Had she not been someone who stressed the fact that she was so concerned about one hair I would probably not feel as strongly as I do and been as disappointed as I was and as I still AM. But what's even more disturbing is that when I contacted Bernadette Ranger to voice my concerns and to express my disappointment, I was met with justification. I expressed to Bernadette that all I was seeking was an acknowledgement and an apology. I also made it saliently clear that I was not holding her responsible for the fact that my hair had deteriorated but rather for the fact that she had withheld that information from me as my hair care professional. After all she was seeing what I had not been able to see in a year's time. Therefore, I contend that she should have at least expressed to me or informed me that perhaps this method of a protective styling may not have been the best option for me after all. We all make mistakes. It's only human and that is both understandable and forgivable. What is not forgivable is one's inability or refusal to take responsibility for their actions or inactions in this cas

I suffer from migraines and I usually stay in when I have one. However, I've had a couple on the days I had a hair appt which I refused to reschedule. But it doesn't matter because once she touches my scalp, my migraine dissipates (no hyperbole). My mom says she has "miracle hands." Sylvia is also a great listener as we have our girl talk during our appointment. Overall, it's a win win with Sylvia: Migraines gone, problems solved, and a fresh hair do. Lastly, all the stylist at Belle Cheveux are great. I know most since I was 12 as they use to work at a different location together.
