    My braids, 2 different reds mixed together.

    My daughters hair and mine look amazing! I braid my own hair, and for the 1st time ever, I trusted someone else to do my hair!!! I am glad I did!! She did an amazing job and I would definitely comeback!

    Cornrows with my own hair - 2 days later.

    This was a GREAT choice. I was able to schedule it same day and am very happy with the results. Thank you, Matel!

    Mateo did an amazing job with my braids. They lasted through my triathlon race and beyond. Was super happy with how they looked.

    Changing my review to one star after the owners snarky response. Some people should simply not own…read morebusinesses. Not ever, in the history of Yelp, has responses like yours HELPED a business. I'm sure it feels great in the moment...but I bet it won't feel too great when you're shutting your doors. If you're THIS reactive to constructive criticism, that's on you babe. If you think I would have come back after THAT reply, you're crazy. Treating myself, as a customer, regardless of my experience in the industry, politely would have garnered a positive change in my review. After that reply...Good luck hon! Edit to owners second response: my initial review was in no way rude, it was honest and I actually left out details to show kindness to the stylist. It's not her fault, I never even said her name and that was on purpose. No one was "put on blast" (how old are we?) It was simply an accurate description of my experience. Blaming me for the HUGE CHUNCK missing from my hair is funny. Yes I had cut my own bangs, no they were not fixed by the stylist...clearly, look at the picture. Since the owner knew who I was. She also could have called me, she chose instead to argue like a teenager over Yelp. For new potential clients to see. I'd. Be. Mortified. If someone left my salon looking like I did, but more mortified to be THIS petty. This will be my last response. Future clients beware. If you're unhappy, this is how you will be treated. FYI. I didn't end up calling because I read your replies to others who had and shocking ...you were rude to them too. Embarrassing. Good luck!

    I would like to thank my girl Amy for my wonderful wonderful wonderful blonde…read morePERFECTION of HAIR.... She never fails to amaze me!!! My hair was thin and falling out over a year ago when I first came to her and she's taken me from thin to strong LONG beautiful hair!! Wouldn't trade her service for anything!
