However, after visiting there a few times, I had the most difficult experience during a pedicure. The tech cut my foot doing a callous removal. And, I am diabetic.

I found this salon by searching for stylists in Delaware that are certified to do Deva Cuts. I'm…read morereally pleased to have met Darlene Regan, and I had a great experience. I'm always careful to find stylists who specifically say they have experience with curly hair, and I was unable to find anyone in Dover, where I live. My stylist of 8 years no longer does hair, and I just heard about this "Deva Cut" thing, so I made the trip to Hockessin to see what Darlene could do. Because it was my first visit, I got the "Deva Cut and initial consultation" service. I only waited a minute or two before Darlene was ready for me. We chatted for awhile about my hair, what I'm looking for, what she can do, and she showed me her portfolio, which was a series of before and after photos on her Pinterest page. She took her time, answered all of my questions, and explained what we were going to do for the rest of the appointment. The Deva Cut is difference because the stylist cuts your hair while it's dry, in order to see how your curls fall and get the best shape for you. Darlene was great about stopping periodically to show me the progress and get my feedback. Next, Alyssa washed my hair and applied product. Both Darlene and Alyssa were really communicative with me, helping me see and feel how much conditioner to leave in my hair and how much of each product to use. This was great, because if they hadn't had me touch my hair as we went along and showed me exactly how much product they used, I wouldn't have ever known how much care and moisture my hair really need. Next, I sat under the hair dryer/diffuser, which looked like a 1960s sci fi mod-type spaceship, and that was cool. Finally, Darlene finished the style and cut. Because she took before photos of my hair, I was able to see exactly how amazingly different my curls looked with appropriate care and style. I'm really, really happy with what she did with my hair! The whole process took about 2 hours, and very little of that was wait time. I'm sure it will take less time the next time I go, since I won't need the consultation. I'm excited to have a stylist that understands curly hair. I was a little guarded about the product upsell, but the truth is that the Deva Cut is associated with Deva Curl products, so there's a push to buy the products, too. Darlene wasn't pushy about it at all, which I really appreciated. At the very end, Darlene gave me a brochure about the Deva Curl line of products and handy check list of products that she recommends specifically for me. I see that this salon is rated as being in the moderate price range. I would say it's pricey for me; I've been getting $40 hair cuts for several years. But, because it's located in Hockessin, and this visit included the consultation, it probably is fair to say that the price is moderate. My 2 hour cut, style, and consultation was $65, so you be the judge for yourself. The cons for me are the commute and the price. However, I only get my hair cut about 3 or 4 times a year, so the price isn't too big a deal. My experience was great and I'll go back.

My nails were styled by a younger girl. She took the time to talk to me and ask about my preferences. She attempted the design that I wanted but her skill just wasn't quite good enough. I will give her props for being persistent and trying several times. My nails did start chipping in just three days, and I can normally get two solid weeks out of a gel manicure. The salon itself was clean and they had a TON of colors to chose from. They even had polishes that change with temperature. One huge negative for me though was when the lady double dipped into the wax when she did my eyebrows.

I boiled down to just taking my 5 year old daughter there and they told her they can't put fruit on her nails. When asked why, it's too many excuses: her nails are too short, no one knows how to draw fruit, we close at 7 and it's 6 o'clock. I suspect they only shuck and jive for who they deem like the right type of client. The owner has cameras in the shop and calls often to correct the employees. Oya I ask you for justice.
