No blow out afterwards, literally a simple wash and roller set. While under the dryer my scalp began to itch/burn. On the way home I smelled a strong smell that was unfamiliar. The following day I went to another salon and was advised the smell was from a chemical that was placed in my hair. After washing my hair l immediately noticed my hair pattern was not the same. Years of not putting ANY CHEMICALS in my hair just to be blindsided by these hypocrites is surreal. This is EVIL behavior and the license of these ignorant people should be taken. Never in a million years would I expect a professional to put a chemical in my hair... it was likely in attempt to manage however if you're a professional and can't manage black women hair SAY THAT DONT DO EVIL WORK !!!

After looking at Jemistry's Instagram page and seeing her flawless work, I decided to book an appointment with her. Despite her busy schedule, Jemistry was able to squeeze me in for an appointment. My original bundles and lace closure, which I provided, did not have the same color. Thus, Jemistry accommodated me and did a color correction on my bundles so that the color would match the color of my lace closure. And these are my results of the lace closure Install! I love how my hair looks and feels, and I'm really amazed at the results. For expert coloring, last minute appointment accommodations and amazing work, book Jemistry hair studio! She will not disappoint. P.S. I also appreciate the refreshments that were offered to me during my appointment. Can't get my hair done without a good ol' snack to chomp on :-).

First red flag was her scheduling a video consultation yet never calling and claims she forgot about it yet she set the date and time. Next the 100 dollar deposit which I tried to just role with even though to me that's very steep. Next I come on time for my appointment and there no receptionist. I text to let her know I'm here and she comes out and says I think your my client. Like what? Wouldn't most professionals say ex Ashley? Idk small indicators was pointing towards the unprofessionalism ahead of time. I promise I came in at 11 am and was nearly having my hair bleached until a good 1 to 2 o'clock before any other work started which was highly questionable to me but could be standard but was unheard method to me but I tried to trust the "professional". And next berating me and raising her voice at me like I was her child because I didn't like her work so far after asking if my hair color would stay as bright while she was adding the color on and could easily just make the changes. Her disgusting attitude persist after I just try to ask can she wash it out and she tells me no without explanation rudely while sipping on a drink. I go to the bathroom to wash the dripping color that she failed to wipe off the cape and then came back to yell some more about getting under a dryer like I'm a kid and washing my hands for 30 seconds due to her sloppy work would ruin things. I came in for midnight blue hair and this lady gives a dark skin woman blue blue hair. It was so unflattering but it didn't matter to her to put her name on what the customer felt unflattering because it's about the money for her. Even another customer in the shop looks over who was unaware and asked is that royal blue? Exactly royal blue and midnight blue two different colors. A good stylist would reassure you through the process and work with you but she fanned the flame by saying well that's what you asked for don't blame me! Yelling, you over her giving me all this attitude! Mind you I said nothing nothing prior to her tangent but surely my face did because its my hair! Been natural for years and its not what I asked for. When I did nothing but ask a simple question. She was very rough with my natural hair the entire time roughly raking the comb from the top to bottom. Any African American knows with black hair to detangle you start from the bottom middle and THEN top to detangle with a comb. She was so very obnoxious. Very disrespectful. Tried to do something nice for myself and just role with it and trust a "professional" and ended up with the experience from Hell. By 3 pm which the blow drying process would have just started after being there for the longest I just opted out, I had enough of the disrespect and just wanted to pay her for services so far and just be on my way. In which at first she tried it and to say I would still have to pay her for all services and my response is yeah only for what you've already done. Then there was comments about me messing up the screen because it close out during payment on my way out even doing that. I swear to God I was boiling. Thank God my sister was able to help me after leaving the shop with my hair and color to level things out. This is the exact reason people are leery of supporting black businesses because that representation right there. I love my people but I'm so tired of encountering this same archetype hairstylist everywhere! Very disappointing experience.

I hate my loc extensions. I already had loc'ed hair and it was a decent length. (I like locs in…read moregeneral, this isn't about me disliking the hairstyle) I got loc extensions past my shoulders on 9/9 and I am ready to cut them out on 9/24. Why? Why would I spend an exorbitant amount of money on locs only to take them out 2 weeks and 1 day later? Since they are interlocked into my real hair I am not going to try to comb them out and salvage my real hair. I'll start here 1. My hair is soft and dark brown the locs are off black and made with 4 C hair. They do not match my real hair AT ALL and the color washes me out. 2. They are stiff, itchy, not uniform size, heavy looking and ugly (think the hats in Jamaica with the locs attached to the hat). I don't know why Krystina didn't use the right color and/or at least explain that the extensions would not match my real hair color or texture. (Or explained anything, for that matter. I walked in and she got to work no "Q & A" prior to starting) 3. They are very heavy and very bulky and look very unnatural up close. 4. I tie up my hair (EVERY NIGHT) and my parts did not stay. (Perhaps inferior products) I have not done anything other than tie up my hair at night and untie it in the AM. I wish the professional (Krystina) would have analyzed my hair texture and density and advised differently based on her "healthy hair first" mantra. After all, I am not the professional! I wouldn't recommend this service. This is a money grab. I warned you all.

Unfortunately, she has limited scheduling as well as very specific styles she does. I found Braids by Lizzy thru a google search and while I select vendors this way all the time, I prefer to have a recommendation when it comes to something as costly and time consuming as braids. I was also nervous because I required some guidance. I am currently taking swimming lessons and was looking for some guidance on the best type of braids for water and chlorine. First and foremost, I was amazed that I wasn't directed to an Instagram account, but Braids by Lizzy actually provided an email address and phone number. She very politely responded to my email with options. Over a week she and I went back-and-forth by text. Once I settled on the style, she told me what type of hair I needed and how to book my appointment. When I arrived, she was finishing a client and had me sit in a waiting area. Before I could get comfortable, she had returned to tell me she was ready for me. She carried my belongings to the room and made sure I was comfortable. She told me what she was doing throughout the process. She asked me what I would like to watch while she did my hair. She and I talked and laughed throughout the process, which was very nice considering I was getting small bohemian knotless braids and would be there a while. The process was so smooth and pleasant, it did not seem like I was there for 6 hours (which I was informed of at booking). Upon completion Bisi gave me instructions on how to maintain my hair, products to use , answered any additional questions I had, and made sure I was happy with the final results. My hair looks great! I recommended her to both my daughter and girlfriend. And highly recommend Braids by Lizzie to anyone who is looking to have a personable, yet professional experience, and leave and leave looking great!
