This review details my service history and a recent issue with Kida, a stylist I first contacted on…read moreOctober 3, 2023. At that time, she was unavailable due to a health break but confirmed via email on November 13, 2023, that she had returned and was offering the 2-Strand Twists Extensions service. Following my initial appointment on April 28, 2024, I continued to use Kida's services for multiple appointments, including a wig installation on July 26, 2024, and wig coloring on August 4, 2024. During my appointment on August 29, 2025, Kida was asked to blend my V-part wig with my natural hair. During the service, when I inquired if the colors matched, she replied "No," with a laugh. She then clarified that she had only matched the wig to the ends of my hair, a decision I found both confusing and unprofessional. I had a payment issue with Kida via the StyleSeat platform, which was complicated by the fact that I didn't have an account with it and checked out as a Guest. When the payment failed to go through on August 31st, Kida said StyleSeat informed her the charge had declined. However, my bank showed no pending transactions, and I repeatedly clarified to Kida that I lacked an account and had checked out as a Guest. After several exchanges, Kida suggested I pay via Zelle. To confirm the correct course of action, I contacted StyleSeat directly. When they confirmed the original charge would not be re-processed, I immediately sent the payment to Kida via Zelle and expressed my thanks. To prevent future issues, I later reached out to Kida to establish a new payment method, explaining my preference for booking directly with her and paying in cash in which she agreed. On October 2, 2025, I texted Kida to schedule an appointment for October 17th and inquire about the cost but received no response. I followed up with a voicemail on October 3rd; I was again met with silence. Beyond the lack of communication, I was disappointed with Kida's professionalism and integrity during my August 29th appointment when she knowingly selected a color pallet on August 4, 2024 that did not match my natural hair and appeared to find the situation humorous, despite my need to wear the wig for an event. The characteristics I value in a hairstylist, such as attention to detail, strong communication skills, and integrity, were notably absent from my experience. Based on this, I would not recommend her services to others.

I'm very picky about my hair and the stylists I go to. I did my research of other area braiders before making my appointment. Sandra and her team were very nice and professional. They discussed the color blend of the braids and length to make sure it was what I wanted. I am very happy with the results. I've only braided my hair a few times over the many years, but think I'll go back soon to get braids again. But next time waist-length. :-)

Beware Was misquoted…read more Hair smelled fowl Hair came undone from the roots Just removed the braids from my daughters hair today after a little less than a month Was quoted $350.00 for service and $9 per pack for hair it was a deceptive practice the total came to $620.00 ( at checkout Albertine said it's $620.00 $90.00 per pack / bundle of hair) plus $350.00 for the service although your flyer says hair included. Sent the owner and email to try and resolve so since you refused to refund the money I'm going to move forward with telling about my child's experience. Please hire professional braiders that will install human hair properly. Stop taking advantage of people I drove out to your salon from and hour away with hopes for establishing a positive client relationship this was a nightmare my daughter was crying couldn't continue to wear this style it's tangled and smells terrible. Never again

My daughter and I have tried this place three times because we were so happy to have a place like…read moreNadine's in Maryland closer to home in Dumfries. They are SOOOO unprofessional, slow and sometimes on two out of the three occasions personal hygiene issues were really distracting. The place says walk ins 24/7 but they can't support that model well. The last time we called and even after they changed our appointment they were still an hour late to start. Good news is the braiding once it's done is pretty good and the pricing is more reasonable than others in the area but you get what you pay for by way of professionalism. We will not be back a fourth time unless it's truly an emergency.

Never I'm my life would i have dyed my hair orange but we tried it and she made it one of the best hair styles I've had. I love her energy and how kind she is. The movies are entertaining and keeps me on my toes. She offers me drinks and just warm conversation. I went to another woman and hated my hair after which made me cover it back up . I'm back with Vicsey and now I'm a loyal customer. I truly hope the people who wrote a bad review give her another chance because this is the kinda care any woman needs. Even men can come and feel good when they leave out. Ok I'll shut up now but this place is phenomenal and Im only coming to her. I live 30-45 without traffic so it's worth it !!!!!!!!!

I went to this place on a recommendation from a friend. I wanted a haircut, feather extensions, &…read moremermaid dye in purple, blue, & green. She didn't cut my hair the way I asked (no layers in the front). She forgot the feather extensions, even though I was charged for them (which she later said I wasn't, but the price was the same so that made no sense). My hair was damaged from the bleach she used, even though she said it wouldn't be. The dye looked good when she first did it. It wasn't as vibrant as I wanted but it looked nice. However, the blue & green started to fade almost immediately & the purple is almost gone now, too. My hair looks gray. It's only been about 2 weeks. I paid almost $300 for this mess. I tried to contact her but she never responded. My hair looks awful now. I'm so disappointed. I know she won a bunch of awards, but I have no idea how. Maybe she just didn't like me. If you choose to go to this place ask for the opposite of what she did to me.

Shame on me for not writing this review before now!!!!…read more Tamara is the absolute best when it comes to natural haircare and braided styles. Not only is she talented, she is vigilant is making sure your hair is not just styled but properly maintained and cared for. Every occasions where we've presented her with a picture of what we were looking for, she was able to work her handy magic and create a style better than what we asked for!! I do recommend reaching out to her at least two weeks in advance to make an appointment because her schedule fills up quickly. She will make sure you are comfortable during the duration of your visit . The shop/suite is always clean and is located in the Phenix Salon Suites.
