Short version: I was pleased with the service and would go back again.
Long Version: I am a WOC (woman of color) that has natural (think kinky curly) hair. I typically go to salons owned by African-Americans when I need a wash, deep condish, blow-dry and trimmed ends. However, after my last experience, I decided to look elsewhere. One of my gfs mentioned this place and I decided to give them a try.
Apparently, the salon closes at 6pm on weekdays. I walked in at 5:30pm. No one really greeted me...but whatever. I was told to hang my coat and sit at the sink. That is EXACTLY what I am talking about---SPEEDY SERVICE. I had my own products so I asked the lady to use my products. My only complaint is that the stylist used the salon's shampoo on my hair first. I am SUPER anal about using products with sulfates...but I guess I have to get over it. She did a good job in washing my hair and she prepped me for the deep condish treatment. I sat under the dryer for maybe 15mins and another stylist came up to me to follow her to the sink. The lady took over the rest of my 'appointment'. She rinsed out the condish, detangled, and blow-dried my hair. I really like how she was meticulous while detangling. She used the blow-drier and the round brush to blow out my hair. I was worried that they would fry my scalp...but I did not feel any discomfort. After blow drying my hair, she clipped my ends and proceeded to flat iron and pin curled my hair.
The results: LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!! I am soooooo pleased with the results, speedy service and PRICE. THe grand total came up to 40$. I budgeted for 50$ so I gave the stylist a 10$ tip...lol...
I hear the salon is CRAZY on the weekends...so I would suggest going during the week. read more
