    The way it's threaded and shifted down
    Jodi S.

    All I can say is amazing.. it was my first time getting hair extensions and I was so nervous... Nikita made everything g perfect super friendly very nice person and made me feel comfortable. She taught me what to do to wash and clean ext. it was a fast painless experience and I get to keep my hair I am totally loving it and getting g used to it definitely something I think I want to keep doing all bc she made it so easy!!! Looking forward to my wedding and the amazing photos that will be taken. So adding to this review I was going to go in and talk but my husband told me to forget about it. My hair looked amazing for the big day. Worth it. I had to go in 3 times to have the extensions tightened bc the need feel off or the string came out. She fixed it no problem, but the time I got married 2 days after she tightened them they had broke off again. My hair stylist knew what she was doing so she was able to work around it. I kept my hair the same way through my honeymoon bc I though they would fall out. I was happy at first then disappointed o spent a lot of money thinking of these were done right I had them removed while on my honeymoon bc I just couldn't take it anymore. I have attached some photos good and bad. Sorry for the blast I was hoping they would last longer. She was super nice but I started out happy with them and didn't end up feeling so great about them.

    Nikita's Beauty Bar is an exceptionally clean and friendly beauty salon. The focus they put on taking temperatures, cleaning and distancing made me very comfortable. It felt great to leave with my new Zoom ready hairstyle. Ms. Shaw did an amazing job. I will definitely be back.

    Closure part needs some work to make it look more natural.

    I agreed to be the guinea pig amongst my girlfriends and try the Walk-In Weaves salon in CA. Maja Sly gained national attention for this concept of discount weaving by starring on the hit reality show Cutting It In The ATL. We were all curious when the first California location opened here in San Leandro. The Good: The stylists are all really friendly and professional. I decided to test the walk in concept and did not call ahead. I just showed up on a Saturday. And I didn't receive any grief for it. The salon owner was very accommodating and let me know about how long I'd have to wait to be serviced, which was about an hour. The salon was not upscale, but it was clean and nicely furnished. They sell hair in the shop, which is pretty good quality. They just don't have a range of textures to match Black hair. Just the expected body wave, loose wave, jheri and straight. The have a young lady that just does braiding, which seems efficient, but they should probably have two braisrrs if this is a part of their concept. The braider (Alysia) was pretty good. The Bad: The pricing gets a little confusing. It's kind of like Spirit Airline's, where the price initially seems low, but then you realize there's a separate charge for every aspect of your service, and you were better off just buying a ticket on Delta. To avoid the upcharges, I shampooed and conditioned my own hair before coming. I was quoted a package price of around $400 for two packs of hair, a closure and the install. $400 was more than I wanted to gamble on a test run, so I decided to skip the $100 closure and leave some hair out, noting that I wanted an off-center part. The stylist instructed the braider on the pattern to use to accommodate the style I wanted. The Ugly: After the braiding was complete, I hopped in the stylist's (Shandle) chair. She says instead of an off- center part, she would need to do a little gap in the hair. I didn't like that look at all. She said the only way I could do the part was to get the closure. So I decided to add the closure. She then said I didn't need two packs of hair, that only one pack would work. I trust and go with it. And she's trying to save me some money. What I didn't realize was that she would only be sewing tracks on every other braid. So now when I touch my hair, I feel braids. She didn't do the best job attaching the closure. And she weaved the right side too tight. You can see where my skin is being pulled. She decided to gel strands of hair down to my forehead, which looked horrible. And then there was a gob of the white gel just sitting in my hair. I asked her to clean that off of my hair and to unstick the strands from my head. She didn't get all of it. I was still scraping gel off when she asked me to get out of her chair to make way for her next customer. I think the owner could tell I wasn't completely happy. It's the worst weave I've ever received. Next Steps: I'll have to do some post install work before I'm happy going public with this look. Like coloring the knots in the closure and widening the part to make it look more natural. I'll likely add some tracks for fullness since my stylist was wrong. 1 pack clearly was not enough. I will also trim and color the net along the hairline to match my hair color so it doesn't look like...you know...a net. Recommend: Based on my experience...No.

    Do you guys do glue in weaves?

    PERFECTION. Needed a…read moresalon close to home (I typically.. get my hair cut and colored overseas) so I saw reviews on this place close to my house. I sent in a request on Yelp and they asked that I text/call a number. After some interactions through text, a picture of what I wanted, and instructions that I wanted a 1" trim from the bottom length and a relayer, I scheduled my appointment a few days later. This spot is VERY Chinese. Lots of banter in the language but I liked the energy it gave. A little bit of a language barrier but I tried to keep it short and brief, and we "communicated" through photos of what I wanted, and what he could do. Almost all the chairs were full. I brought my son with me and everyone was nice to him (-: He was able to sit on a chair and wait for me while I had my hair done. Ming gave me exactly what I wanted. Basically a refresh. They were able to shampoo and rinse my hair, I was put in the chair, Ming and I had an exchange, and he went to work with precision and expertise. QUICKLY may I add.. I found my local salon. I'll have to try color at some point. THANK YOU MING!

    This was my first time here, and unfortunately I left very disappointed. I showed the stylist a…read morephoto from their own Instagram and specifically asked for a layered haircut similar to the photo. I have had layered haircuts at other salons before, so I know what a layered haircut should look like. I kept explaining what I wanted, but the stylist kept telling me that he was giving me layers when the result clearly did not look like the layered style I showed him. It felt more like a bang trim with my hair cut shorter. I was also very uncomfortable because the stylist had a very strong cigarette/smoke smell on his breath during the service, which made the experience unpleasant. If the stylist couldn't achieve the style I requested, I would have preferred him to be honest and explain that before cutting my hair shorter. As a first-time customer, I left feeling very upset and disappointed.

    I had a haircut here a couple of weeks ago. My husband also got a haircut from her and he left a…read morereview below. He's not happy with his result as well. All I asked for was a simple trim, as I had been growing out my hair for 16 months--which I explicitly mentioned--along with light layering. I even showed a reference picture to clarify how minimal I wanted the layers to be. Unfortunately, she ended up chopping off more than half my length, creating an extreme difference between the layers. The back was cut so short that it keeps falling forward, and I can't even use my hair claws anymore. Shockingly, the back ended up even shorter than my bangs. I never wanted my hair this short after 16 months of patient growth. I trusted her, and because of this cut, I had to spend over $1,000 on hair extensions just to fix it. I deeply regret not asking for a refund for this haircut or requesting reimbursement for the extension costs I had to incur to fix her mistake. I usually avoid leaving negative reviews to support local businesses, but this was honestly the worst experience I've ever had with any stylist. Even after two weeks, I still get upset every time I look in the mirror. While hair eventually grows back, there's no restoring the 16 months of effort I lost. I tried to blame myself, thinking I should have been even more specific, but showing a clear reference photo should have been enough. A professional stylist should have known that my hair type wouldn't work with this short length without a perm. It ended up looking like a giant mushroom and is far too short to style. I tried to let it go, but the frustration and disappointment remain. In the end, she offered me a free haircut for next time after my hair grows back. But how could I ever trust her with my hair again after this? Besides, since my hair is now even shorter than before I spent 16 months growing it, how long will it take before I even need another haircut? 2 years? 3 years? A free haircut is completely meaningless and does not make up for what happened. Compensation for this terrible mistake should be a full refund and coverage for the hair extension costs I had to pay to fix her mistake. This isn't just about a bad haircut or the lost growth; it's about the hours of my time that were completely wasted. I had to spend time finding a proper extension salon, traveling to and from the appointment, and sitting through the hours-long service. I deserve to be compensated for all of that lost time. I trusted her because glory hair had 4.2 star reviews, but... this is what I am still facing every single day. Please be cautious if you are planning to get a haircut from Jessie unless you want to ruin your next 2 years.

For the most part, whenever I go see her, I'm probably the only other client inside - just incase you guys get nervous for Covid reasons. Nancy is so welcoming.

Then she washes your hair, and then she begins the cut. She's so knowledgable in the industry. She given me helpful advice on how to maintain my hair.

And after 6 months of following tips, and seeing what works for me, my hair is fuller, healthier, and thriving as I've mentioned.
