She kept asking me the same questions over and over after I had texted her exactly what I wanted a day before. I came in for highlights, color, and a haircut. I needed gray coverage. She takes a very long time talking when I just wanted her to start. She also burned my scalp with the straightener. She was doing a test with a strip of my hair and used a straightener for heat.

I've started my loc journey November of 2018 with Lola and could not be anymore happier. I was referred to her by a really good friend of mine. I personally had no experience in locs nor knew the entire process, but I took a chance and Lola made it happen. I have straight hair and Lola had me send her pictures of my hair to give me a recommendation on how it should be loc'd which was very reassuring especially for someone who didn't know what they were getting into. On top of that, she did give me the run down on the entire process, time, cost and all which definitely helped me on the idea of how much time and money I'd be spending on the process. I'm about a month into my journey and definitely trusting the process through Lola's advice. She's a super nice person, very understanding and would love to work with you. If you're in the north east bay and looking for someone to do your locs (straight hair especially) I highly recommend hitting her up! read more

The first and best hair experience I've had since moving to the Bay Area. I was a bit apprehensive and unsure of where or who to go to since I'm originally from NYC and have no experience nor references for locticians in the Bay Area. But, I'm glad I took a chance booking Lola because she truly takes pride in what she does. I appreciate that she took the initiative to fix some of my "struggle locs" and that she seemed truly invested in the health of my hair and not just wanting to take my money for a quick wash and retwist session. She truly is a perfectionist, and I plan on being a recurring client of hers. read more

I don't know where to start to be honest. Lola is the first hair stylist that I've been to in years and I already love her. She answered any questions I had as well as asking me if I was okay during the appointment. She made me feel cherished the whole time and educated me on afro hair which was really sweet of her. I'm in love with my starter locs because of her work and I look forward to going to her again for future appointments! Infinity/10, best hair stylist and loctician! read more
